4. And this was the workmanship of the candlestick: beaten or turned gold, beaten work [of gold] from its base to its flowers; according to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5. And the Lord said to Moses,
6. Take the Levites from among the Israelites and cleanse them.
7. And thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of purification [water to be used in case of sin] upon them, and let them pass a razor over all their flesh and wash their clothes and cleanse themselves. [Num. 19:17, 18.]
8. Then let them take a young bull and its cereal offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
9. You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting, and you shall assemble the whole Israelite congregation.
10. And you shall present the Levites before the Lord, and the Israelites shall put their hands upon the Levites,
11. And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering from the Israelites and on their behalf, that they may do the service of the Lord.
12. Then the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.
13. And you shall present the Levites before Aaron and his sons and offer them as a wave offering to the Lord.
