3 Aaron obeyed and placed the lamps facing the front of the lampstand.
4 From top to bottom the lampstand was made of hammered gold, according to the pattern that the Lord had shown Moses.
5 The Lord said to Moses,
6 “Separate the Levites from the rest of the people of Israel and purify them
7 in the following way: sprinkle them with the water of purification and tell them to shave their whole bodies and to wash their clothes. Then they will be ritually clean.
8 Then they are to take a young bull and the required grain offering of flour mixed with olive oil; and you are to take another bull for the sin offering.
9 Then assemble the whole community of Israel and make the Levites stand in front of the Tent of my presence.
