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.
8 They will take a bull from the herd, with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil. You will take a second bull from the herd for a purification offering.
9 You will bring the Levites before the meeting tent and gather the entire Israelite community.
