3 Aaron did so. He lit the lamps before the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4 And this was the work of the lampstand: hammered gold, to its shaft, to its flowers was beaten work. According to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them.
7 Thus you will do to them to cleanse them: Splash purifying water on them, and let them shave their whole body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
8 Then let them take a young bull with its grain offering, also fine flour mixed with oil, and you will take another young bull as a sin offering.
9 You will bring the Levites before the tent of meeting. And you will gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together.
