民数记 8
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
燃灯之例
8 耶和华晓谕摩西说: 2 “你告诉亚伦说:点灯的时候,七盏灯都要向灯台前面发光。” 3 亚伦便这样行。他点灯台上的灯,使灯向前发光,是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的。 4 这灯台的做法是用金子锤出来的,连座带花都是锤出来的。摩西制造灯台,是照耶和华所指示的样式。
洁利未人之例
5 耶和华晓谕摩西说: 6 “你从以色列人中选出利未人来,洁净他们。 7 洁净他们当这样行:用除罪水弹在他们身上,又叫他们用剃头刀刮全身,洗衣服,洁净自己。 8 然后叫他们取一只公牛犊,并同献的素祭,就是调油的细面。你要另取一只公牛犊做赎罪祭。 9 将利未人奉到会幕前,招聚以色列全会众。 10 将利未人奉到耶和华面前,以色列人要按手在他们头上。 11 亚伦也将他们奉到耶和华面前,为以色列人当做摇祭,使他们好办耶和华的事。 12 利未人要按手在那两只牛的头上,你要将一只做赎罪祭,一只做燔祭,献给耶和华,为利未人赎罪。 13 你也要使利未人站在亚伦和他儿子面前,将他们当做摇祭奉给耶和华。 14 这样,你从以色列人中将利未人分别出来,利未人便要归我。 15 此后利未人要进去办会幕的事,你要洁净他们,将他们当做摇祭奉上。 16 因为他们是从以色列人中全然给我的,我拣选他们归我,是代替以色列人中一切头生的。 17 以色列人中一切头生的,连人带牲畜,都是我的,我在埃及地击杀一切头生的那天,将他们分别为圣归我。 18 我拣选利未人代替以色列人中一切头生的。 19 我从以色列人中将利未人当做赏赐给亚伦和他的儿子,在会幕中办以色列人的事,又为以色列人赎罪,免得他们挨近圣所,有灾殃临到他们中间。” 20 摩西、亚伦并以色列全会众便向利未人如此行。凡耶和华指着利未人所吩咐摩西的,以色列人就向他们这样行。 21 于是利未人洁净自己,除了罪,洗了衣服。亚伦将他们当做摇祭奉到耶和华面前,又为他们赎罪,洁净他们。 22 然后利未人进去,在亚伦和他儿子面前,在会幕中办事。耶和华指着利未人怎样吩咐摩西,以色列人就怎样向他们行了。
23 耶和华晓谕摩西说: 24 “利未人是这样:从二十五岁以外,他们要前来任职,办会幕的事。 25 到了五十岁要停工退任,不再办事, 26 只要在会幕里,和他们的弟兄一同伺候,谨守所吩咐的,不再办事了。至于所吩咐利未人的,你要这样向他们行。”
Numeri 8
Het Boek
De Levieten apart gezet voor God
8 De Here zei tegen Mozes: 2 ‘Zeg tegen Aäron dat hij, als hij de zeven lampen van de kandelaar aansteekt, hij deze zó moet richten dat zij hun licht naar voren werpen.’ 3 Aäron deed dit. 4 De kandelaar en de bloemdecoraties op de schacht en de armen waren gemaakt van gedreven goud. Het geheel was gemaakt volgens het voorbeeld dat de Here aan Mozes had getoond.
5,6 Toen zei de Here tegen Mozes: ‘Neem de Levieten apart van de rest van het volk Israël. 7 Zij moeten zich reinigen: besprenkel hen met water dat hen ontzondigt. Laten zij vervolgens hun hele lichaam scheren, hun kleren wassen en zich baden. 8 Laat hen daarna een jonge stier en een spijsoffer van fijn meel, vermengd met olie en een jonge stier als zondoffer brengen. 9 Breng de Levieten dan bij de ingang van de tabernakel. Het hele volk moet daarbij aanwezig zijn. 10 Daar zullen de stamhoofden namens het hele volk hun de handen opleggen. 11 Aäron zal hen met een gebaar alsof hij offert, aan de Here aanbieden als een geschenk van het hele volk Israël. De Levieten zullen in hun dienst aan de Here het hele volk vertegenwoordigen. 12 Daarna zullen de Levieten hun handen leggen op de koppen van de jonge stieren en deze aan de Here offeren: de ene als zondoffer en de andere als brandoffer, om verzoening te doen over de Levieten. 13 Vervolgens moeten de Levieten bij Aäron en zijn zonen worden gebracht, net zoals elk ander geschenk aan de Here bij de priesters wordt gebracht! 14 Op die manier zult u de Levieten afzonderen van de rest van het volk en zij zullen mijn eigendom zijn. 15 Nadat u hen hebt geheiligd en aan de Here hebt aangeboden, zullen zij de tabernakel in en uit gaan om hun werk te doen. 16 Zij zijn mijn absolute eigendom. Ik heb hen aanvaard in plaats van de eerstgeborenen van de Israëlieten, 17 want alle eerstgeborenen van het volk Israël zijn van Mij, zowel van mens als van dier. Ik heb hen voor Mijzelf bestemd in de nacht dat Ik de eerstgeborenen van de Egyptenaren doodde. 18 Ja, Ik heb de Levieten aangenomen in plaats van alle oudste zonen van Israël. 19 En Ik zal de Levieten als een geschenk geven aan Aäron en zijn zonen. De Levieten zullen in de tabernakel de heilige taken uitvoeren die waren opgelegd aan de Israëlieten. Zij zullen de gaven van het volk offeren om verzoening over hen te doen. Er zal dan geen plaag onder de Israëlieten voorkomen, wat wel zou gebeuren als gewone mensen de tabernakel zouden binnengaan.’
20 Dus wijdden Mozes, Aäron en het hele volk Israël de Levieten en volgden zorgvuldig de opdrachten op die de Here Mozes had gegeven. 21 De Levieten reinigden zich en wasten hun kleren. Aäron bood hen als een bijzondere gave aan de Here aan en voerde de reinigingsceremonie voor hen uit om hen te heiligen en te reinigen.
22 Vervolgens betraden zij de tabernakel als helpers van Aäron en zijn zonen, alles gebeurde zoals de Here Mozes had opgedragen.
23,24 De Here instrueerde Mozes verder: ‘Als een Leviet vijfentwintig jaar is, mag hij dienst doen in de tabernakel. Hij wordt ontslagen van zijn taken als hij vijftig jaar is. 25,26 Als hij ouder is dan vijftig jaar kan hij nog wel helpen bij lichte werkzaamheden, maar hoeft geen vaste plichten meer te vervullen.’
Numbers 8
New International Version
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.”

Numbers 8
King James Version
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
10 And thou shalt 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 for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the Lord.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron 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: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 And after that went the Levites 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 did they unto them.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
