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.
10 Then present the Levites before the Lord, and have the Israelites lay their hands on them.
