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.

Num.8.1

GOD spoke to Moses:

Num.8.1

The LORD said to Moses,

Num.8.1

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

Num.8.1

The LORD said to Moses,

Num.8.2

"Tell Aaron, Install the seven lamps so they will throw light in front of the Lampstand."

Num.8.2

"Speak to Aaron and say to him, 'When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.'"

Num.8.2

"Speak to Aaron, and say to him, "When you arrange the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand."'

Num.8.2

"Tell Aaron that when he sets up the seven lamps in the lampstand, he is to place them so their light shines forward."

Num.8.3

Aaron did just that. He installed the lamps so they threw light in front of the Lampstand, as GOD had instructed Moses.

Num.8.3

Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

Num.8.3

And Aaron did so; he arranged the lamps to face toward the front of the lampstand, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Num.8.3

So Aaron did this. He set up the seven lamps so they reflected their light forward, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Num.8.4

The Lampstand was made of hammered gold from its stem to its petals. It was made precisely to the design GOD had shown Moses.

Num.8.4

This is how the lampstand was made: It was made of hammered gold-from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made exactly like the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.

Num.8.4

Now this workmanship of the lampstand was hammered gold; from its shaft to its flowers it was hammered work. According to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.

Num.8.4

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.

Num.8.5

GOD spoke to Moses:

Num.8.5

The LORD said to Moses:

Num.8.5

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

Num.8.5

Then the LORD said to Moses,

Num.8.6

"Take the Levites from the midst of the People of Israel and purify them for doing GOD's work.

Num.8.6

"Take the Levites from among the other Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.

Num.8.6

"Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them ceremonially.

Num.8.6

"Now set the Levites apart from the rest of the people of Israel and make them ceremonially clean.

Num.8.7

This is the way you will do it: Sprinkle water of absolution on them; have them shave their entire bodies; have them scrub their clothes. Then they will have purified themselves.

Num.8.7

To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing on them; then have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.

Num.8.7

Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purification on them, and let them shave all their body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

Num.8.7

Do this by sprinkling them with the water of purification. And have them shave their entire body and wash their clothing. Then they will be ceremonially clean.

Num.8.8

"Have them take a young bull with its accompanying Grain-Offering of fine flour mixed with oil, plus a second young bull for an Absolution-Offering.

Num.8.8

Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil; then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.

Num.8.8

Then let them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you shall take another young bull as a sin offering.

Num.8.8

Have them bring a young bull and a grain offering of choice flour mixed with olive oil, along with a second young bull for a sin offering.

Num.8.9

Bring the Levites to the front of the Tent of Meeting and gather the entire community of Israel.

Num.8.9

Bring the Levites to the front of the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole Israelite community.

Num.8.9

And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of meeting, and you shall gather together the whole congregation of the children of Israel.

Num.8.9

Then assemble the whole community of Israel and present the Levites at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

Num.8.10

Present the Levites before GOD as the People of Israel lay their hands on them.

Num.8.10

You are to bring the Levites before the LORD, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on them.

Num.8.10

So you shall bring the Levites before the LORD, and the children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites;

Num.8.10

When you bring the Levites before the LORD, the people of Israel must lay their hands on them.

Num.8.11

Aaron will present the Levites before GOD as a Wave-Offering from the People of Israel so that they will be ready to do GOD's work.

Num.8.11

Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the Israelites, so that they may be ready to do the work of the LORD.

Num.8.11

and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD like a wave offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the work of the LORD.

Num.8.11

Aaron must present the Levites to the LORD as a special offering from the people of Israel, thus dedicating them to the LORD's service.

Num.8.12

"Have the Levites place their hands on the heads of the bulls, selecting one for the Absolution-Offering and another for the Whole-Burnt-Offering to GOD to make atonement for the Levites.

Num.8.12

"After the Levites lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, use the one for a sin offering to the LORD and the other for a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.

Num.8.12

Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.

Num.8.12

"Next the Levites will lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls and present them to the LORD. One will be for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.

Num.8.13

Then have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and present them as a Wave-Offering to GOD.

Num.8.13

Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and then present them as a wave offering to the LORD.

Num.8.13

"And you shall stand the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and then offer them like a wave offering to the LORD.

Num.8.13

Then have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons, and present them as a special offering to the LORD.

Num.8.14

This is the procedure for setting apart the Levites from the rest of the People of Israel; the Levites are exclusively for my use.

Num.8.14

In this way you are to set the Levites apart from the other Israelites, and the Levites will be mine.

Num.8.14

Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be Mine.

Num.8.14

In this way, you will set the Levites apart from the rest of the people of Israel, and the Levites will belong to me.

Num.8.15

"After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a Wave-Offering to GOD, they can go to work in the Tent of Meeting.

Num.8.15

"After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering, they are to come to do their work at the Tent of Meeting.

Num.8.15

After that the Levites shall go in to service the tabernacle of meeting. So you shall cleanse them and offer them like a wave offering.

Num.8.15

After this, they may go in and out of the Tabernacle to do their work, because you have purified them and presented them as a special offering.

Num.8.16

The Levites have been selected out of the People of Israel for my exclusive use; they function in place of every firstborn male born to an Israelite woman.

Num.8.16

They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn, the first male offspring from every Israelite woman.

Num.8.16

For they are wholly given to Me from among the children of Israel; I have taken them for Myself instead of all who open the womb, the firstborn of all the children of Israel.

Num.8.16

"Of all the people of Israel, the Levites are reserved for me. I have claimed them for myself in place of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites; I have taken the Levites as their substitutes.

Num.8.17

Every firstborn male in Israel, animal or human, is set apart for my use. When I struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, I consecrated them for my holy uses.

Num.8.17

Every firstborn male in Israel, whether man or animal, is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.

Num.8.17

For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are Mine, both man and beast; on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them to Myself.

Num.8.17

For all the firstborn males among the people of Israel are mine, both people and animals. I set them apart for myself on the night I killed all the firstborn sons of the Egyptians.

Num.8.18

But now I take the Levites as stand-ins in place of every firstborn son in Israel,

Num.8.18

And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel.

Num.8.18

I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

Num.8.18

Yes, I claim the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons of Israel.

Num.8.19

selected out of the People of Israel, and I have given the Levites to Aaron and his sons to do all the work involved in the Tent of Meeting on behalf of all the People of Israel and to make atonement for them so that nothing bad will happen to them when they approach the Sanctuary."

Num.8.19

Of all the Israelites, I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons to do the work at the Tent of Meeting on behalf of the Israelites and to make atonement for them so that no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the sanctuary."

Num.8.19

And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the work for the children of Israel in the tabernacle of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near the sanctuary."

Num.8.19

And of all the Israelites, I have assigned the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They will serve in the Tabernacle on behalf of the Israelites and make atonement for them so no plague will strike them when they approach the sanctuary."

Num.8.20

Moses, Aaron, and the entire community of the People of Israel carried out these procedures with the Levites, just as GOD had commanded Moses.

Num.8.20

Moses, Aaron and the whole Israelite community did with the Levites just as the LORD commanded Moses.

Num.8.20

Thus Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did to the Levites; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.

Num.8.20

So Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel dedicated the Levites, carefully following all the LORD's instructions to Moses.

Num.8.21

The Levites purified themselves and scrubbed their clothes. Then Aaron presented them as a Wave-Offering before GOD and made atonement for them to purify them.

Num.8.21

The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes. Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD and made atonement for them to purify them.

Num.8.21

And the Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes; then Aaron presented them like a wave offering before the LORD, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.

Num.8.21

The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes, and Aaron presented them to the LORD as a special offering. He then performed the rite of atonement over them to purify them.

Num.8.22

Only then did the Levites go to work at the Tent of Meeting. Aaron and his sons supervised them following the directions GOD had given.

Num.8.22

After that, the Levites came to do their work at the Tent of Meeting under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. They did with the Levites just as the LORD commanded Moses.

Num.8.22

After that the Levites went in to do their work in the tabernacle of meeting before Aaron and his sons; as the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

Num.8.22

From then on the Levites went into the Tabernacle to perform their duties, helping Aaron and his sons. So they carried out all the commands that the LORD gave Moses concerning the Levites.

Num.8.23

GOD spoke to Moses:

Num.8.23

The LORD said to Moses,

Num.8.23

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Num.8.23

The LORD also instructed Moses,

Num.8.24

"These are your instructions regarding the Levites: At the age of twenty-five they will join the work force in the Tent of Meeting;

Num.8.24

"This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the Tent of Meeting,

Num.8.24

"This is what pertains to the Levites: From twenty-five years old and above one may enter to perform service in the work of the tabernacle of meeting;

Num.8.24

"This is the rule the Levites must follow: They must begin serving in the Tabernacle at the age of twenty-five,

Num.8.25

at the age of fifty they must retire from the work.

Num.8.25

but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer.

Num.8.25

and at the age of fifty years they must cease performing this work, and shall work no more.

Num.8.25

and they must retire at the age of fifty.

Num.8.26

They can assist their brothers in the tasks in the Tent of Meeting, but they are not permitted to do the actual work themselves. These are the ground rules for the work of the Levites."

Num.8.26

They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites."

Num.8.26

They may minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of meeting, to attend to needs, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall do to the Levites regarding their duties."

Num.8.26

After retirement they may assist their fellow Levites by performing guard duty at the Tabernacle, but they may not officiate in the service. This is how you will assign duties to the Levites."

Num.9.1

GOD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai in the first month of the second year after leaving Egypt:

Num.9.1

The LORD spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month of the second year after they came out of Egypt. He said,

Num.9.1

Now the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying:

Num.9.1

The LORD gave these instructions to Moses in early spring, during the second year after Israel's departure from Egypt, while he and the rest of the Israelites were in the wilderness of Sinai:

Num.9.2

"Have the People of Israel celebrate Passover at the set time.

Num.9.2

"Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover at the appointed time.

Num.9.2

"Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its appointed time.

Num.9.2

"Tell the Israelites to celebrate the Passover at the proper time,

Num.9.3

Celebrate it on schedule, on the evening of the fourteenth day of this month, following all the rules and procedures."

Num.9.3

Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with all its rules and regulations."

Num.9.3

On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall keep it at its appointed time. According to all its rites and ceremonies you shall keep it."

Num.9.3

at twilight on the appointed day in early spring. Be sure to follow all my laws and regulations concerning this celebration."

Num.9.4

Moses told the People of Israel to celebrate the Passover

Num.9.4

So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,

Num.9.4

So Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.

Num.9.4

So Moses told the people to celebrate the Passover

Num.9.5
