1. Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2. “Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.”
3. And Aaron did so: he set up its lamps in front of the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4. And this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was hammered work; according to the pattern that the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6. “Take the Levites from among the people of Israel and cleanse them.
7. Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of purification upon them, and let them go with a razor over all their body, and wash their clothes and cleanse themselves.
