1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

stylus

2Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him: When thou shalt place the seven lamps, let the candlestick be set up on the south side. Give orders therefore that the lamps look over against the north, towards the table of the loaves of proposition, over against that part shall they give light, towards which the candlestick looketh.

stylus

3And Aaron did so, and he put the lamps upon the candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

stylus

4Now this was the work of the candlestick, it was of beaten gold, both the shaft in the middle, and all that came out of both sides of the branches: according to the pattern which the Lord had shewn to Moses, so he made the candlestick.

stylus

Numbers 8:11, Numbers 8:11, Numbers 8:13, Numbers 8:13, Numbers 3:12

16I have taken them instead of the firstborn that open every womb in Israel,

stylus

Numbers 3:12, Numbers 3:12, Numbers 3:45, Numbers 3:45, Numbers 3:9

17For all the firstborn of the children of Israel, both of men and of beasts, are mine. From the day that I slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, have I sanctified them to myself:

stylus

Exodus 13:2, Exodus 13:2, Luke 2:23, Luke 2:23, Exodus 13:12

18And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel:

stylus

Numbers 8:7, Numbers 8:7, Numbers 19:19, Numbers 8:11, Numbers 8:13

22That being purified they might go into the tabernacle of the covenant to do their services before Aaron and his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses touching the Levites, so was it done.

stylus

1 Chronicles 23:3, Numbers 4:3, 1 Chronicles 23:3, Numbers 4:3, 2 Timothy 2:3

26And they shall be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of the covenant, to keep the things that are committed to their care, but not to do the works. Thus shalt thou order the Levites touching their charge.
