1	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# . [let them shave...: Heb. let them cause a razor to pass over, etc]
			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. [offer: Heb. wave] [offering: Heb. wave offering] [they...: Heb. they may be to execute, etc]
			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. [a gift: Heb. given]
			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: [to...: Heb. to war the warfare of, etc]
			25	And from the age of fifty years they shall cease# waiting upon the service thereof , and shall serve# no more: [cease...: Heb. return from the warfare of the service]
			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.
