1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 Speak to Aaron and say to him: When you set them up, the seven lamps will give light in front of the lampstand.
3 Aaron did so. He set up its lamps in front of the lampstand as the Lord commanded Moses.
4 This is how the lampstand was made: it was hammered gold; from its base to its flower it was hammered. Moses made the lampstand according to the vision that the Lord had shown Moses.
5 The Lord spoke to Moses:
6 Separate the Levites from the Israelites and cleanse them.
7 This is what you will do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purification on them, have them shave their bodies, wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
