1 The Lord said to Moses,
2 “Tell Aaron that when he puts the seven lamps on the lampstand, he should place them so that the light shines towards the front.”
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.
