2 “Speak to Aaron. Tell him, ‘Put the seven lamps where they can light the area in front of the lampstand.’”
3 Aaron did this. He put the lamps so they lighted the area in front of the lampstand. He obeyed the command the Lord gave Moses.
4 The lampstand was made from hammered gold. It was gold from its base to the flowers. It was made exactly the way the Lord had showed Moses.
5 The Lord said to Moses,
6 “Take the Levites away from the other Israelites and make them clean.
7 This is what you should do to make them clean. Sprinkle the cleansing water on them. Have them shave their bodies and wash their clothes. Then they will be clean.
8 They must take a young bull and the grain offering that goes with it. The grain offering will be flour mixed with oil. Then take another young bull for a sin offering.
