New Living Translation (NLT)

Numbers 7
⁸⁵ Each silver platter weighed 31/4 pounds, and each silver basin weighed 13/4 pounds. The total weight of the silver was 60 pounds (as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel).
⁸⁶ Each of the twelve gold containers that was filled with incense weighed four ounces (as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel). The total weight of the gold was three pounds.
⁸⁷ Twelve young bulls, twelve rams, and twelve one-year-old male lambs were donated for the burnt offerings, along with their prescribed grain offerings. Twelve male goats were brought for the sin offerings.
⁸⁸ Twenty-four bulls, sixty rams, sixty male goats, and sixty one-year-old male lambs were donated for the peace offerings. This was the dedication offering for the altar after it was anointed.
⁸⁹ Whenever Moses went into the Tabernacle to speak with the LORD, he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—that rests on the Ark of the Covenant. The LORD spoke to him from there.

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.
