1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 “Speak to Aaron and tell him: When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps are to give light in front of the lampstand.”
3 So Aaron did this; he set up its lamps to give light in front of the lampstand just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 This is the way the lampstand was made: it was a hammered work of gold, hammered from its base to its flower petals. The lampstand was made according to the pattern the Lord had shown Moses.
5 The Lord spoke to Moses:
6 “Take the Levites from among the Israelites and ceremonially cleanse them.
7 This is what you must do to them for their purification: Sprinkle them with the purification water. Have them shave their entire bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.
