- Num 8:1-9 : 1 And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 2 Speak{H1696}{(H8761)} unto Aaron{H175}, and say{H559}{(H8804)} unto him, When thou lightest{H5927}{(H8687)} the lamps{H5216}, the seven{H7651} lamps{H5216} shall give light{H215}{(H8686)} over against{H6440}{H4136} the candlestick{H4501}. 3 And Aaron{H175} did{H6213}{(H8799)} so; he lighted{H5927}{(H8689)} the lamps{H5216} thereof over against{H4136}{H6440} the candlestick{H4501}, as the LORD{H3068} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} Moses{H4872}. 4 And this work{H4639} of the candlestick{H4501} was of beaten{H4749} gold{H2091}, unto the shaft{H3409} thereof, unto the flowers{H6525} thereof, was beaten work{H4749}: according unto the pattern{H4758} which the LORD{H3068} had shewed{H7200}{(H8689)} Moses{H4872}, so he made{H6213}{(H8804)} the candlestick{H4501}. 5 And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 6 Take{H3947}{(H8798)} the Levites{H3881} from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, and cleanse{H2891}{(H8765)} them. 7 And thus shalt thou do{H6213}{(H8799)} unto them, to cleanse{H2891}{(H8763)} them: Sprinkle{H5137}{(H8685)} water{H4325} of purifying{H2403} upon them, and let them shave{H8593}{H5674}{(H8689)} all their flesh{H1320}, and let them wash{H3526}{(H8765)} their clothes{H899}, and so make themselves clean{H2891}{(H8694)}. 8 Then let them take{H3947}{(H8804)} a young{H1121}{H1241} bullock{H6499} with his meat offering{H4503}, even fine flour{H5560} mingled{H1101}{(H8803)} with oil{H8081}, and another{H8145} young{H1121}{H1241} bullock{H6499} shalt thou take{H3947}{(H8799)} for a sin offering{H2403}. 9 And thou shalt bring{H7126}{(H8689)} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}: and thou shalt gather{H6950} the whole assembly{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} together{H6950}{(H8689)}: 10 And thou shalt bring{H7126}{(H8689)} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}: and the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} shall put{H5564}{(H8804)} their hands{H3027} upon the Levites{H3881}: 11 And Aaron{H175} shall offer{H5130}{(H8689)} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} for an offering{H8573} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, that they may execute{H5647}{(H8800)} the service{H5656} of the LORD{H3068}. 12 And the Levites{H3881} shall lay{H5564}{(H8799)} their hands{H3027} upon the heads{H7218} of the bullocks{H6499}: and thou shalt offer{H6213}{(H8798)} 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}{(H8763)} for the Levites{H3881}. 13 And thou shalt set{H5975}{(H8689)} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} Aaron{H175}, and before{H6440} his sons{H1121}, and offer{H5130}{(H8689)} them for an offering{H8573} unto the LORD{H3068}. 14 Thus shalt thou separate{H914}{(H8689)} the Levites{H3881} from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: and the Levites{H3881} shall be mine. 15 And after{H310} that shall the Levites{H3881} go in{H935}{(H8799)} to do the service{H5647}{(H8800)} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}: and thou shalt cleanse{H2891}{(H8765)} them, and offer{H5130}{(H8689)} them for an offering{H8573}. 16 For they are wholly given{H5414}{(H8803)} unto me from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}; instead of such as open{H6363} every womb{H7358}, even instead of the firstborn{H1060} of all the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, have I taken{H3947}{(H8804)} them unto me. 17 For all 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}{(H8687)} every firstborn{H1060} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} I sanctified{H6942}{(H8689)} them for myself. 18 And I have taken{H3947}{(H8799)} the Levites{H3881} for all the firstborn{H1060} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}. 19 And I have given{H5414}{(H8799)} the Levites{H3881} as a gift{H5414}{(H8803)} to Aaron{H175} and to his sons{H1121} from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, to do{H5647}{(H8800)} the service{H5656} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} in the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}, and to make an atonement{H3722}{(H8763)} for the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: that there be no plague{H5063} among the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, when the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} come nigh{H5066}{(H8800)} unto the sanctuary{H6944}. 20 And Moses{H4872}, and Aaron{H175}, and all the congregation{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, did{H6213}{(H8799)} to the Levites{H3881} according unto all that the LORD{H3068} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} Moses{H4872} concerning the Levites{H3881}, so did{H6213}{(H8804)} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} unto them. 21 And the Levites{H3881} were purified{H2398}{(H8691)}, and they washed{H3526}{(H8762)} their clothes{H899}; and Aaron{H175} offered{H5130}{(H8686)} them as an offering{H8573} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}; and Aaron{H175} made an atonement{H3722}{(H8762)} for them to cleanse{H2891}{(H8763)} them. 22 And after{H310} that went{H935}{(H8804)} the Levites{H3881} in to do{H5647}{(H8800)} their service{H5656} in the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150} before{H6440} Aaron{H175}, and before{H6440} his sons{H1121}: as the LORD{H3068} had commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} Moses{H4872} concerning the Levites{H3881}, so did{H6213}{(H8804)} they unto them. 23 And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites{H3881}: from twenty{H6242} and five{H2568} years{H8141} old{H1121} and upward{H4605} they shall go in{H935}{(H8799)} to wait{H6633}{(H8800)}{H6635} upon the service{H5656} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}: 25 And from the age{H1121} of fifty{H2572} years{H8141} they shall cease{H7725}{(H8799)} waiting{H6635} upon the service{H5656} thereof, and shall serve{H5647}{(H8799)} no more: 26 But shall minister{H8334}{(H8765)} with their brethren{H251} in the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}, to keep{H8104}{(H8800)} the charge{H4931}, and shall do{H5647}{(H8799)} no service{H5656}. Thus shalt thou do{H6213}{(H8799)} unto the Levites{H3881} touching their charge{H4931}.
- Num 1:3 : 3 From twenty{H6242} years{H8141} old{H1121} and upward{H4605}, all that are able to go forth{H3318}{(H8802)} to war{H6635} in Israel{H3478}: thou and Aaron{H175} shall number{H6485}{(H8799)} them by their armies{H6635}.
- Num 1:50 : 50 But thou shalt appoint{H6485}{(H8685)} the Levites{H3881} over the tabernacle{H4908} of testimony{H5715}, and over all the vessels{H3627} thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear{H5375}{(H8799)} the tabernacle{H4908}, and all the vessels{H3627} thereof; and they shall minister{H8334}{(H8762)} unto it, and shall encamp{H2583}{(H8799)} round about{H5439} the tabernacle{H4908}.
