New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Numbers 8
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Speak to Aaron and say to him, ’When you mount the lamps, the seven lamps will give light in the front of the lampstand.’"
3 Aaron therefore did so; he mounted its lamps at the front of the lampstand, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold; from its base to its flowers it was hammered work; according to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 "Take the Levites from among the sons of Israel and cleanse them.
7 Thus you shall do to them, for their cleansing: sprinkle purifying water on them, and let them use a razor over their whole body and wash their clothes, and they will be clean.
8 Then let them take a bull with its grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and a second bull you shall take for a sin offering.
9 So you shall present the Levites before the tent of meeting. You shall also assemble the whole congregation of the sons of Israel,
10 and present the Levites before the Lord; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites.
11 Aaron then shall present the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, that they may qualify to perform the service of the Lord.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
