Numbers, starting at chapter 7
{7:1} It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the
tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its
furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and
sanctified them; {7:2} that the princes of Israel, the heads of their
fathers' houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These
are they who were over those who were numbered: {7:3} and they brought
their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a
wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they
presented them before the tabernacle. {7:4} The LORD spoke to Moses,
saying, {7:5} "Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing
the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the
Levites, to every man according to his service."
{7:6} Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the
Levites. {7:7} He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of
Gershon, according to their service: {7:8} and he gave four wagons and
eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under
the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. {7:9} But to the
sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary
belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.
{7:10} The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in
the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings
before the altar.
{7:11} The LORD said to Moses, "They shall offer their offering,
each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar."

{7:89} When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with the
LORD, he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat
that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim:
and he spoke to him.
{8:1} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {8:2} "Speak to Aaron, and
tell him, 'When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light
in front of the menorah.'"
{8:3} Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of
the menorah, as the LORD commanded Moses. {8:4} This was the
workmanship of the menorah, beaten work of gold. From its base to its
flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which the LORD
had shown Moses, so he made the menorah.
{8:5} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {8:6} "Take the Levites from
among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. {8:7} You shall do
this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on
them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them
wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves. {8:8} Then let them take a
young bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and
another young bull you shall take for a sin offering. {8:9} You shall
present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the
whole congregation of the children of Israel. {8:10} You shall present
the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their
hands on the Levites, {8:11} and Aaron shall offer the Levites before
the LORD for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel,
that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.
{8:12} "The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,
and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites. {8:13}
You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer
them as a wave offering to the LORD. {8:14} Thus you shall separate
the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall
be mine.
{8:15} "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the
Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave
offering. {8:16} For they are wholly given to me from among the
children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the
firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
{8:17} For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine,
both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself. {8:18} I have taken the
Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
{8:19} I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons
from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children
of Israel in the Tent 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 to the sanctuary."
{8:20} Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of
Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
{8:21} The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their
clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD;
and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. {8:22} After that,
the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before
Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning
the Levites, so they did to them.
{8:23} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {8:24} "This is that which
belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they
shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
{8:25} and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the
work, and shall serve no more, {8:26} but shall minister with their
brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall do no
service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties."
{9:1} 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, {9:2} "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the
Passover in its appointed season. {9:3} On the fourteenth day of this
month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed
season--according to all its statutes, and according to all its
ordinances, you shall keep it."
{9:4} Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep
the Passover. {9:5} They kept the Passover in the first month, on the
fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai.
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of
Israel did. {9:6} There were certain men, who were unclean because of
the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on
that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
{9:7} Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body
of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of
the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"
{9:8} Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will
command concerning you."
{9:9} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {9:10} "Say to the children
of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by
reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still
keep the Passover to the LORD. {9:11} In the second month, on the
fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with
unleavened bread and bitter herbs. {9:12} They shall leave none of it
until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the
statute of the Passover they shall keep it. {9:13} But the man who is
clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that
soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn't offer the
offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his
sin.
{9:14} "'If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the
Passover to the LORD; according to the statute of the Passover, and
according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one
statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.'"
{9:15} On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud
covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening
it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until
morning. {9:16} So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the
appearance of fire by night. {9:17} Whenever the cloud was taken up
from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled;
and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of
Israel encamped. {9:18} At the commandment of the LORD, the children
of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped.
As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained
encamped. {9:19} When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days,
then the children of Israel kept the LORD's command, and didn't
travel. {9:20} Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle;
then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped,
and according to the commandment of the LORD they traveled. {9:21}
Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud
was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night,
when the cloud was taken up, they traveled. {9:22} Whether it was two
days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle,
remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn't
travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled. {9:23} At the
commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the
LORD they traveled. They kept the LORD's command, at the commandment
of the LORD by Moses.
