1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the face of the lampstand.
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the face of the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4 And this work of the lampstand was of beaten gold, from the shaft thereof unto the flowers thereof; it was beaten work; according unto the pattern which the Lord had showed Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
6 Take the Levites from among the sons of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of atonement for sin upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and be clean.
