1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.
3. And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4. And this was the work of the candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, and unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6. Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
