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.
8 “They are to take a young bull and its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.
9 Bring the Levites before the tent of meeting and assemble the entire Israelite community.
