Aşezarea candelelor
8 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 2 „Vorbeşte lui Aaron şi spune-i: ‘Când vei aşeza(A) candelele în sfeşnic, cele şapte candele vor trebui să lumineze în partea dinainte a sfeşnicului.’ ” 3 Aaron a făcut aşa; a aşezat candelele în partea dinainte a sfeşnicului, cum poruncise lui Moise Domnul. 4 Sfeşnicul(B) era de aur bătut; atât piciorul, cât şi florile lui erau de aur(C) bătut. Moise făcuse sfeşnicul după(D) chipul pe care i-l arătase Domnul.
Închinarea leviţilor
5 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 6 „Ia pe leviţi din mijlocul copiilor lui Israel şi curăţeşte-i. 7 Iată cum să-i curăţeşti: Stropeşte-i(E) cu apă ispăşitoare, să lase(F) să treacă briciul peste tot trupul lor, să-şi spele hainele şi să se curăţească. 8 Să ia apoi un viţel, cu darul(G) de mâncare obişnuit, făcut din floare de făină, frământată cu untdelemn, şi să mai iei un alt viţel pentru jertfa de ispăşire. 9 Să apropii(H) pe leviţi înaintea cortului întâlnirii şi să strângi(I) toată adunarea copiilor lui Israel. 10 Să apropii pe leviţi înaintea Domnului, şi copiii lui Israel să-şi pună(J) mâinile pe leviţi. 11 Aaron să legene pe leviţi într-o parte şi într-alta înaintea Domnului, ca un dar legănat din partea copiilor lui Israel, şi să fie închinaţi astfel în slujba Domnului. 12 Leviţii(K) să-şi pună mâinile pe capul viţeilor şi să aduci unul ca jertfă de ispăşire şi altul ca ardere-de-tot, ca să faci ispăşire pentru leviţi. 13 Să pui pe leviţi în picioare înaintea lui Aaron şi înaintea fiilor lui şi să-i legeni într-o parte şi într-alta, ca un dar legănat Domnului. 14 Aşa să desparţi pe leviţi din mijlocul copiilor lui Israel, şi leviţii vor fi ai(L) Mei. 15 După aceea, leviţii să vină să facă slujba în cortul întâlnirii. Astfel să-i curăţeşti şi să-i legeni(M) într-o parte şi într-alta, ca un dar legănat. 16 Căci ei Îmi sunt daţi cu totul din mijlocul copiilor lui Israel: ‘Eu i-am luat pentru Mine în locul(N) întâilor născuţi, din toţi întâii născuţi ai copiilor lui Israel. 17 Căci orice întâi născut al copiilor lui Israel este al Meu(O), atât din oameni, cât şi din dobitoace; Mie Mi i-am închinat în ziua când am lovit pe toţi întâii născuţi în ţara Egiptului. 18 Şi Eu am luat pe leviţi în locul tuturor întâilor născuţi ai copiilor lui Israel. 19 Am dat(P) pe leviţi în totul lui Aaron şi fiilor lui, din mijlocul copiilor lui Israel, ca să facă slujbă pentru copiii lui Israel în cortul întâlnirii, să facă ispăşire pentru copiii lui Israel, şi astfel copiii lui Israel să nu fie loviţi cu nicio(Q) urgie când se vor apropia de Sfântul Locaş.’ ” 20 Moise, Aaron şi toată adunarea copiilor lui Israel au făcut cu leviţii tot ce poruncise lui Moise Domnul despre leviţi; aşa au făcut copiii lui Israel cu ei. 21 Leviţii(R) s-au curăţit şi şi-au spălat hainele. Aaron(S) i-a legănat într-o parte şi într-alta, ca un dar legănat înaintea Domnului, şi a făcut ispăşire pentru ei, ca să-i curăţească. 22 După aceea(T), leviţii au venit să-şi facă slujba în cortul întâlnirii, în faţa lui Aaron şi a fiilor lui. Întocmai cum poruncise(U) lui Moise Domnul cu privire la leviţi, aşa s-a făcut cu ei.
Timpul cât trebuie să slujească leviţii
23 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 24 „Iată legea privitoare la leviţi. De la vârsta de douăzeci(V) şi cinci de ani în sus, orice levit va intra în slujba cortului întâlnirii ca să îndeplinească o slujbă acolo. 25 De la vârsta de cincizeci(W) de ani încolo, să iasă din slujbă şi să nu mai slujească. 26 Va putea să ajute pe fraţii lui în cortul întâlnirii, să păzească(X) ce le este dat în grijă, dar să nu mai facă slujbă. Aşa să faci cu leviţii în ce priveşte slujbele lor.”

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.”

Arrangement of the Lamps(A)
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Speak to Aaron, and say to him, ‘When you (B)arrange the lamps, the seven (C)lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.’ ” 3 And Aaron did so; he arranged the lamps to face toward the front of the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses. 4 (D)Now this workmanship of the lampstand was hammered gold; from its shaft to its flowers it was (E)hammered work. (F)According to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
Cleansing and Dedication of the Levites
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them ceremonially. 7 Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle (G)water of purification on them, and (H)let[a] them shave all their body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. 8 Then let them take a young bull with (I)its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you shall take another young bull as a sin offering. 9 (J)And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of meeting, (K)and you shall gather together the whole congregation of the children of Israel. 10 So you shall bring the Levites before the Lord, and the children of Israel (L)shall lay their hands on the Levites; 11 and Aaron shall [b]offer the Levites before the Lord like a (M)wave offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the work of the Lord. 12 (N)Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 “And you shall stand the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and then offer them like a wave offering to the Lord. 14 Thus you shall (O)separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be (P)Mine. 15 After that the Levites shall go in to service the tabernacle of meeting. So you shall cleanse them and (Q)offer them like a wave offering. 16 For they are (R)wholly given to Me from among the children of Israel; I have taken them for Myself (S)instead of all who open the womb, the firstborn of all the children of Israel. 17 (T)For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are Mine, both man and beast; on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I [c]sanctified them to Myself. 18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel. 19 And (U)I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the work for the children of Israel in the tabernacle of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, (V)that there be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near the sanctuary.”
20 Thus Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did to the Levites; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them. 21 (W)And the Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes; then Aaron presented them like a wave offering before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. 22 (X)After that the Levites went in to do their work in the tabernacle of meeting before Aaron and his sons; (Y)as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This is what pertains to the Levites: (Z)From twenty-five years old and above one may enter to perform service in the work of the tabernacle of meeting; 25 and at the age of fifty years they must cease performing this work, and shall work no more. 26 They may minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of meeting, (AA)to attend to needs, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall do to the Levites regarding their duties.”
