Numbers 8 - Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012（CEVUK）

Aaron puts the gold lamps in place

1The LORD said to Moses,The Levites are dedicated to the LORD

20Moses, Aaron, and the other Israelites made sure that the Levites did everything the LORD had commanded.

21The Levites sprinkled themselves with the water of forgiveness and washed their clothes. Then Aaron brought them to the altar and offered sacrifices to forgive their sins and make them acceptable to the LORD.

22After this, the Levites worked at the sacred tent as assistants to Aaron and his sons, just as the LORD had commanded.

23The LORD also told Moses,

24-25“Levites who are between the ages of twenty-five and fifty can work at my sacred tent. But once they turn fifty, they must retire.

26They may help the other Levites in their duties, but they must no longer be responsible for any work themselves. Remember this when you assign their duties.”
