twelve silver bowls, twelve golden ladles;
007:085 each silver platter weighing one hundred thirty shekels,
and each bowl seventy; all the silver of the vessels two thousand
four hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary;
007:086 the twelve golden ladles, full of incense, weighing ten
shekels apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary;
all the gold of the ladles weighed one hundred twenty shekels;
007:087 all the oxen for the burnt offering twelve bulls, the rams twelve,
the male lambs a year old twelve, and their meal offering;
and the male goats for a sin offering twelve;
007:088 and all the oxen for the sacrifice of peace offerings
twenty-four bulls, the rams sixty, the male goats sixty,
the male lambs a year old sixty. This was the dedication
of the altar, after it was anointed.
007:089 When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh,
he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that
was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim:
and he spoke to him.
008:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
008:002 "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
008:003 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front
of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
008:004 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold.
From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work:
according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses,
so he made the lampstand.
008:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
008:006 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel,
and cleanse them.
008:007 Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water
of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor,
and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
008:008 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering,
fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall
take for a sin offering.
008:009 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting.
You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
008:010 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children
of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
008:011 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering,
on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs
to do the service of Yahweh.
008:012 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,
and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for
a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
008:013 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,
and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
