New Living Translation

Numbers 8:3-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. So Aaron did this. He set up the seven lamps so they reflected their light forward, just as the lord had commanded Moses.

4. The entire lampstand, from its base to its decorative blossoms, was made of beaten gold. It was built according to the exact design the lord had shown Moses.

5. Then the lord said to Moses,

6. “Now set the Levites apart from the rest of the people of Israel and make them ceremonially clean.

7. Do this by sprinkling them with the water of purification, and have them shave their entire body and wash their clothing. Then they will be ceremonially clean.
