燃燈之例
8 耶和華曉諭摩西說： 2 「你告訴亞倫說：點燈的時候，七盞燈都要向燈臺前面發光。」 3 亞倫便這樣行。他點燈臺上的燈，使燈向前發光，是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。 4 這燈臺的做法是用金子錘出來的，連座帶花都是錘出來的。摩西製造燈臺，是照耶和華所指示的樣式。
潔利未人之例
5 耶和華曉諭摩西說： 6 「你從以色列人中選出利未人來，潔淨他們。 7 潔淨他們當這樣行：用除罪水彈在他們身上，又叫他們用剃頭刀刮全身，洗衣服，潔淨自己。 8 然後叫他們取一隻公牛犢，並同獻的素祭，就是調油的細麵。你要另取一隻公牛犢做贖罪祭。 9 將利未人奉到會幕前，招聚以色列全會眾。 10 將利未人奉到耶和華面前，以色列人要按手在他們頭上。 11 亞倫也將他們奉到耶和華面前，為以色列人當做搖祭，使他們好辦耶和華的事。 12 利未人要按手在那兩隻牛的頭上，你要將一隻做贖罪祭，一隻做燔祭，獻給耶和華，為利未人贖罪。 13 你也要使利未人站在亞倫和他兒子面前，將他們當做搖祭奉給耶和華。 14 這樣，你從以色列人中將利未人分別出來，利未人便要歸我。 15 此後利未人要進去辦會幕的事，你要潔淨他們，將他們當做搖祭奉上。 16 因為他們是從以色列人中全然給我的，我揀選他們歸我，是代替以色列人中一切頭生的。 17 以色列人中一切頭生的，連人帶牲畜，都是我的，我在埃及地擊殺一切頭生的那天，將他們分別為聖歸我。 18 我揀選利未人代替以色列人中一切頭生的。 19 我從以色列人中將利未人當做賞賜給亞倫和他的兒子，在會幕中辦以色列人的事，又為以色列人贖罪，免得他們挨近聖所，有災殃臨到他們中間。」 20 摩西、亞倫並以色列全會眾便向利未人如此行。凡耶和華指著利未人所吩咐摩西的，以色列人就向他們這樣行。 21 於是利未人潔淨自己，除了罪，洗了衣服。亞倫將他們當做搖祭奉到耶和華面前，又為他們贖罪，潔淨他們。 22 然後利未人進去，在亞倫和他兒子面前，在會幕中辦事。耶和華指著利未人怎樣吩咐摩西，以色列人就怎樣向他們行了。
23 耶和華曉諭摩西說： 24 「利未人是這樣：從二十五歲以外，他們要前來任職，辦會幕的事。 25 到了五十歲要停工退任，不再辦事， 26 只要在會幕裡，和他們的弟兄一同伺候，謹守所吩咐的，不再辦事了。至於所吩咐利未人的，你要這樣向他們行。」

Numbers 8

8 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to Aaron, and say to him, ‘When you light the Lamps, the seven Lamps shall give light toward the front of the Candlestick.’”
3 And Aaron did so, lighting its lamps toward the front of the Candlestick, as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
4 And this was the work of the Candlestick, of gold beaten out with the hammer. Both the shaft and its flower were beaten out with the hammer. According to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the Candlestick.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and purify them.
7 “And you shall do this to them when you purify them: sprinkle Water of Purification upon them, and let them shave all their flesh and wash their clothes. So they shall be clean.
8 “Then they shall take a young bullock, with his Meat Offering of fine flour mingled with oil. And you shall take another young bullock for a Sin Offering.
9 “Then you shall bring the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation and assemble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
10 “You shall also bring the Levites before the LORD. And the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
11 “And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD as a Shake Offering of the children of Israel, so that they may execute the service of the LORD.
12 “And the Levites shall put their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and you shall make one a Sin Offering and the other a Burnt Offering to the LORD, so that you may make an atonement for the Levites.
13 “And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a Shake Offering to the LORD.
14 “Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel. And the Levites shall be Mine.
15 “And afterward, the Levites shall go in to serve in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And you shall purify them and offer them as a Shake Offering.
16 “For they are freely given to Me from among the children of Israel. I have taken to Me all who open any womb, all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
17 “For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are Mine, both of man and beast. Since the day that I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for Myself.
18 “And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel,
19 “and have given the Levites to Aaron as a gift, and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, so that there is no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the Sanctuary.”
20 Then Moses and Aaron and all the Congregation of the children of Israel did with the Levites according to all that the LORD had Commanded Moses concerning the Levites. So did the children of Israel to them.
21 So the Levites were purified and washed their clothes. And Aaron offered them as a Shake Offering before the LORD. And Aaron made an atonement for them, to purify them.
22 And after that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before Aaron and before his sons. As the LORD had Commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “This also pertains to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to execute their office in the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
25 “And after the age of fifty years, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serve no more.
26 “But they shall minister with their brothers in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keep things committed to their charge. But they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their charge.”

Setting Up the Lamps
8 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, see that all seven light up the area in front of the lampstand.(A)’”
3 Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the Lord commanded Moses. 4 This is how the lampstand was made: It was made of hammered gold(B)—from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made exactly like the pattern(C) the Lord had shown Moses.
The Setting Apart of the Levites
5 The Lord said to Moses: 6 “Take the Levites from among all the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.(D) 7 To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing(E) on them; then have them shave their whole bodies(F) and wash their clothes.(G) And so they will purify themselves.(H) 8 Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of the finest flour mixed with olive oil;(I) then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.[a](J) 9 Bring the Levites to the front of the tent of meeting(K) and assemble the whole Israelite community.(L) 10 You are to bring the Levites before the Lord, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on them.(M) 11 Aaron is to present the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering(N) from the Israelites, so that they may be ready to do the work of the Lord.
12 “Then the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,(O) using one for a sin offering(P) to the Lord and the other for a burnt offering,(Q) to make atonement(R) for the Levites. 13 Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and then present them as a wave offering(S) to the Lord. 14 In this way you are to set the Levites apart from the other Israelites, and the Levites will be mine.(T)
15 “After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering,(U) they are to come to do their work at the tent of meeting.(V) 16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn,(W) the first male offspring(X) from every Israelite woman. 17 Every firstborn male in Israel, whether human or animal,(Y) is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.(Z) 18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel.(AA) 19 From among all the Israelites, I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons(AB) to do the work at the tent of meeting on behalf of the Israelites(AC) and to make atonement for them(AD) so that no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the sanctuary.”
20 Moses, Aaron and the whole Israelite community did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses. 21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes.(AE) Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the Lord and made atonement(AF) for them to purify them.(AG) 22 After that, the Levites came to do their work(AH) at the tent of meeting under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. They did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses.
23 The Lord said to Moses, 24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more(AI) shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,(AJ) 25 but at the age of fifty,(AK) they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.(AL) This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”
