1 The Lord said to Moses,
2 “Speak to Aaron and tell him, ‘Put the seven lamps where they can light the area in front of the lampstand.’ ”
3 Aaron did this, putting 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, 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, and have them shave their bodies and wash their clothes so they will be clean.
