Numbers 8:6 ASV

⁴  And this was the work of the candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, 'and' unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work: according unto the pattern which Jehovah had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

⁵  And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

⁶  Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

⁷  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.

⁸  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.
