American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou {Or, settest up}lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.
And Aaron did so; he {Or, set up}lighted the lamps thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
And this was the work of the candlestick, {Or, turned}beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, and unto the flowers thereof, it was {Or, turned}beaten work: according unto the pattern which Jehovah had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and thou shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:
and thou shalt present the Levites before Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites:
and Aaron shall {Hebrew: wave, and in verse 13, 15, 21.}offer the Levites before Jehovah for a wave-offering, {Or, from }on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Jehovah.
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and offer thou the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, unto Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites.
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto Jehovah.
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
This is that which belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in {Hebrew: to war the warfare in the work.}to wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting:
and from the age of fifty years they shall {Hebrew: return from the warfare of the work.}cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more,
but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.
and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,
Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
