WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.860 Chapter 8 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron, and say unto 00:05.860 --> 00:10.160 him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over 00:10.160 --> 00:11.400 against the candlestick. 00:11.660 --> 00:12.920 And Aaron did so. 00:13.200 --> 00:16.940 He lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded 00:16.940 --> 00:17.360 Moses. 00:17.720 --> 00:21.920 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, 00:22.060 --> 00:26.920 unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work, according unto the pattern which the LORD 00:26.920 --> 00:29.580 had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick. 00:29.580 --> 00:33.440 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take the Levites from among the 00:33.440 --> 00:35.120 children of Israel, and cleanse them. 00:35.680 --> 00:38.580 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them. 00:39.180 --> 00:44.060 Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, 00:44.520 --> 00:47.920 and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. 00:48.740 --> 00:53.480 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled 00:53.480 --> 00:57.380 with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. 00:58.160 --> 01:01.540 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation, 01:02.160 --> 01:05.940 and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together. 01:06.680 --> 01:11.200 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD, and the children of Israel shall 01:11.200 --> 01:13.060 put their hands upon the Levites. 01:13.720 --> 01:17.660 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children 01:17.660 --> 01:21.260 of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD. 01:22.040 --> 01:26.400 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and thou shalt 01:26.400 --> 01:30.340 offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering unto 01:30.340 --> 01:32.780 the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites. 01:33.560 --> 01:38.580 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them 01:38.580 --> 01:40.060 for an offering unto the LORD. 01:41.160 --> 01:45.460 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the 01:45.460 --> 01:46.620 Levites shall be mine. 01:47.460 --> 01:51.720 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the 01:51.720 --> 01:56.340 congregation, and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering. 01:57.040 --> 02:01.500 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel, instead of 02:01.500 --> 02:03.040 such as open every womb. 02:03.720 --> 02:07.880 Even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel have I taken them unto 02:07.880 --> 02:08.240 me. 02:09.060 --> 02:13.600 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast. 02:14.420 --> 02:19.040 On the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for 02:19.040 --> 02:19.500 myself. 02:20.200 --> 02:23.980 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel. 02:24.760 --> 02:28.960 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the 02:28.960 --> 02:33.140 children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle 02:33.140 --> 02:37.200 of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, 02:37.760 --> 02:42.060 that there be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come 02:42.060 --> 02:43.280 nigh unto the sanctuary. 02:43.720 --> 02:47.860 And Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did 02:47.860 --> 02:51.980 to the Levites according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the 02:51.980 --> 02:54.880 Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them. 02:55.380 --> 02:58.360 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes, 02:58.600 --> 03:01.360 and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord. 03:01.800 --> 03:05.500 And Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them, and after that went the 03:05.500 --> 03:09.540 Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before 03:09.540 --> 03:14.640 Aaron and before his sons, as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, 03:15.000 --> 03:16.200 so did they unto them. 03:16.200 --> 03:20.780 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, This is it that belongeth unto the 03:20.780 --> 03:21.280 Levites. 03:21.920 --> 03:26.480 From twenty and five years old and upward, they shall go in to wait upon the service 03:26.480 --> 03:28.120 of the tabernacle of the congregation. 03:28.940 --> 03:32.920 And from the age of fifty years, they shall cease waiting upon the service 03:32.920 --> 03:37.620 thereof, and shall serve no more, but shall minister with their brethren in 03:37.620 --> 03:42.020 the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no 03:42.020 --> 03:42.480 service. 03:42.480 --> 03:46.660 Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites, touching their charge.
