1. The Lord said to Moses,
|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Say to Aaron, 'When you put the seven lamps on the lamp-stand, they should give light in front of the lamp-stand.' "
|
2. Speak H1696 unto H413 Aaron H175 , and say H559 unto H413 him , When thou lightest H5927 H853 the lamps H5216 , the seven H7651 lamps H5216 shall give light H215 over against H413 H4136 H6440 the candlestick H4501 .
|
|
3. And Aaron did so. He put the lamps so they would give light in front of the lamp-stand, as the Lord had told Moses.
|
3. And Aaron H175 did H6213 so H3651 ; he lighted H5927 the lamps H5216 thereof over against H413 H4136 H6440 the candlestick H4501 , as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 .
|
|
4. Now this is the way the lamp-stand was made. It was made of beaten gold from the base to its flowers. He made the lamp-stand the way the Lord had shown Moses.
|
4. And this H2088 work H4639 of the candlestick H4501 was of beaten H4749 gold H2091 , unto H5704 the shaft H3409 thereof, unto H5704 the flowers H6525 thereof, was beaten work H4749 : according unto the pattern H4758 which H834 the LORD H3068 had showed H7200 H853 Moses H4872 , so H3651 he made H6213 H853 the candlestick H4501 .
|
|
5. Then the Lord said to Moses,
|
5. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
6. "Take the Levites from among the people of Israel, and make them clean.
|
6. Take H3947 H853 the Levites H3881 from among H4480 H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and cleanse H2891 them.
|
|
7. To make them clean, put holy water on them that takes away sin. Let them cut all the hair from their body, and wash their clothes, and they shall be clean.
|
7. And thus H3541 shalt thou do H6213 unto them , to cleanse H2891 them: Sprinkle H5137 water H4325 of purifying H2403 upon H5921 them , and let them shave H5674 H8593 H5921 all H3605 their flesh H1320 , and let them wash H3526 their clothes H899 , and so make themselves clean H2891 .
|
|
8. Then let them take a young bull and its grain gift of fine flour mixed with oil. Take another young bull for a sin gift.
|
8. Then let them take H3947 a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 with his meat offering H4503 , even fine flour H5560 mingled H1101 with oil H8081 , and another H8145 young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 shalt thou take H3947 for a sin offering H2403 .
|
|
9. Bring the Levites in front of the meeting tent and gather together all the people of Israel also.
|
9. And thou shalt bring H7126 H853 the Levites H3881 before H6440 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 : and thou shalt gather H6950 H853 the whole H3605 assembly H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 together:
|
|
10. Bring the Levites before the Lord and the people of Israel will lay their hands on the Levites.
|
10. And thou shalt bring H7126 H853 the Levites H3881 before H6440 the LORD H3068 : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall put H5564 H853 their hands H3027 upon H5921 the Levites H3881 :
|
|
11. Aaron will give the Levites to the Lord as a wave gift from the people of Israel so they will be able to do the work of the Lord.
|
11. And Aaron H175 shall offer H5130 H853 the Levites H3881 before H6440 the LORD H3068 for an offering H8573 of H4480 H854 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that they may execute H1961 H5647 H853 the service H5656 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
12. The Levites will lay their hands on the heads of the bulls. They will give one for a sin gift and the other for a burnt gift to the Lord, to pay for the sins of the Levites.
|
12. And the Levites H3881 shall lay H5564 H853 their hands H3027 upon H5921 the heads H7218 of the bullocks H6499 : and thou shalt offer H6213 H853 the one H259 for a sin offering H2403 , and the other H259 for a burnt offering H5930 , unto the LORD H3068 , to make an atonement H3722 for H5921 the Levites H3881 .
|
|
13. Then have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons, to give them as a wave gift to the Lord.
|
13. And thou shalt set H5975 H853 the Levites H3881 before H6440 Aaron H175 , and before H6440 his sons H1121 , and offer H5130 them for an offering H8573 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
14. "So you will divide the Levites from the people of Israel. And the Levites will be Mine.
|
14. Thus shalt thou separate H914 H853 the Levites H3881 from among H4480 H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : and the Levites H3881 shall be H1961 mine.
|
|
15. After that the Levites may go in to work in the meeting tent. But you must make them clean and give them as a wave gift.
|
15. And after H310 that H3651 shall the Levites H3881 go in H935 to do the service H5647 H853 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 : and thou shalt cleanse H2891 them , and offer H5130 them for an offering H8573 .
|
|
16. For they are all given to Me from among the people of Israel. I have taken them for Myself instead of every first child to be born, the firstborn of all the people of Israel.
|
16. For H3588 they H1992 are wholly given H5414 H5414 unto me from among H4480 H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 ; instead of H8478 such as open H6363 every H3605 womb H7358 , even instead of the firstborn H1060 of all H3605 the children H4480 H1121 of Israel H3478 , have I taken H3947 them unto me.
|
|
17. For every first-born among the people of Israel is Mine, both of man and animal. I set them apart for Myself on the day that I killed all the first-born in the land of Egypt.
|
17. For H3588 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 are mine, both man H120 and beast H929 : on the day H3117 that I smote H5221 every H3605 firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 I sanctified H6942 them for myself.
|
|
18. But I have taken the Levites instead of every first-born among the people of Israel.
|
18. And I have taken H3947 H853 the Levites H3881 for H8478 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
19. And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel. They will do the work of the people of Israel at the meeting tent. By this they take away the sins of the people of Israel. So no trouble will come upon the people of Israel if they come near the meeting tent."
|
19. And I have given H5414 H853 the Levites H3881 as a gift H5414 to Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121 from among H4480 H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , to do H5647 H853 the service H5656 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , and to make an atonement H3722 for H5921 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : that there be H1961 no H3808 plague H5063 among the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 come nigh H5066 unto H413 the sanctuary H6944 .
|
|
20. Moses and Aaron and all the people of Israel did this to the Levites. The people of Israel did to them all the things the Lord had told Moses about the Levites.
|
20. And Moses H4872 , and Aaron H175 , and all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , did H6213 to the Levites H3881 according unto all H3605 that H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 concerning the Levites H3881 , so H3651 did H6213 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 unto them.
|
|
21. The Levites made themselves pure, putting away their sin. And they washed their clothes. Aaron gave them as a wave gift before the Lord. He did what had to be done to pay for their sin so they would be clean.
|
21. And the Levites H3881 were purified H2398 , and they washed H3526 their clothes H899 ; and Aaron H175 offered H5130 them as an offering H8573 before H6440 the LORD H3068 ; and Aaron H175 made an atonement H3722 for H5921 them to cleanse H2891 them.
|
|
22. After that the Levites went in to do their work in the meeting tent in front of Aaron and his sons. So they did to the Levites just what the Lord had told Moses to do.
|
22. And after H310 that H3651 went the Levites in H935 H3881 to do H5647 H853 their service H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 before H6440 Aaron H175 , and before H6440 his sons H1121 : as H834 the LORD H3068 had commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 concerning H5921 the Levites H3881 , so H3651 did H6213 they unto them.
|
|
23. The Lord said to Moses,
|
23. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
24. "This is the rule for the Levites. Those who are twenty-five years old and older will go in to do the work of the meeting tent.
|
24. This H2063 is it that H834 belongeth unto the Levites H3881 : from twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and upward H4605 they shall go in H935 to wait upon H6633 H6635 the service H5656 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 :
|
|
25. But when they are fifty years old they will stop these duties and not work any more.
|
25. And from the age H4480 H1121 of fifty H2572 years H8141 they shall cease waiting upon H7725 H4480 H6635 the service H5656 thereof , and shall serve H5647 no H3808 more H5750 :
|
|
26. They may help their brothers in the meeting tent to do what needs to be done but they themselves must not do the work. These are the rules for the Levites when giving them their duties."
|
26. But shall minister H8334 with H854 their brethren H251 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , to keep H8104 the charge H4931 , and shall do H5647 no H3808 service H5656 . Thus H3602 shalt thou do H6213 unto the Levites H3881 touching their charge H4931 .
