The Seven Lamps

1 And the LORD spoke unto Mōysēs, saying,

וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

1 Καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 1 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
1 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs, saying, 1 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs, saying,

2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

דַּבֵּר֙ אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֔ן וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ אֵלָ֑יו בְּהַעֲלֹֽתְךָ֙ אֶת־הַנֵּרֹ֔ת אֶל־מוּל֙ פְּנֵ֣י הַמְּנֹורָ֔ה יָאִ֖ירוּ שִׁבְעַ֥ת הַנֵּרֹֽות׃

2 Λάλησον τῷ Ἀαρὼν καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν Ὅταν ἐπιτιθῇς τοὺς λύχνους, ἐκ μέρους κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς λυχνίας φωτιοῦσιν οἱ ἑπτὰ λύχνοι. 2 λάλησον τῷ Ἀαρὼν καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν· ὅταν ἐπιτιθῇς τοὺς λύχνους, ἐκ μέρους κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς λυχνίας φωτιοῦσιν οἱ ἑπτὰ λύχνοι.

3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps of it over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Mōysēs.

וַיַּ֤עַשׂ כֵּן֙ אַהֲרֹ֔ן אֶל־מוּל֙ פְּנֵ֣י הַמְּנֹורָ֔ה הֶעֱלָ֖ה נֵרֹתֶ֑יהָ כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃


4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft of it, unto the flowers of it, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Mōysēs, so he made the candlestick.

וְזֶ֨ה מַעֲשֵׂ֤ה הַמְּנֹרָה֙ מִקְשָׁ֣ה זָהָ֔ב עַד־יְרֵכָ֥הּ עַד־פִּרְחָ֖הּ מִקְשָׁ֣ה הִ֑וא כַּמַּרְאֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר הֶרְאָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֔ה כֵּ֥ן עָשָׂ֖ה אֶת־הַמְּנֹרָֽה׃

4 καὶ αὕτη κατασκευὴ τῆς λυχνίας· στερεὰ χρυσῆ, καυλὸς αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ κρίνα αὐτῆς, στερεὰ ὅλη· κατὰ τὸ εἶδος, ἔδειξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησεν τὴν λυχνίαν. 4 καὶ αὕτη κατασκευὴ τῆς λυχνίας· στερεὰ χρυσῆ, καυλὸς αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ κρίνα αὐτῆς, στερεὰ ὅλη· κατὰ τὸ εἶδος, ὃν ἔδειξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησε τὴν λυχνίαν.
4 And this is the construction of the lampstand; solid golden, its stem and its lilies, totally solid; according to the pattern that the Lord showed Mōysēs, so he made the lampstand. 4 And this is the construction of the lampstand; solid golden, its stem and its lilies, totally solid; according to the pattern that the Lord showed Mōysēs, so he made the lampstand.

Cleansing the Levites

7 καὶ οὕτως ποιήσεις αὐτοῖς τὸν ἁγνισμὸν αὐτῶν· περιρρανεῖς αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ ἁγνισμοῦ, καὶ ἐπελεύσεται ξυρὸν ἐπὶ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν, καὶ πλυνοῦσιν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ καθαροὶ ἔσονται. 7 καὶ οὕτω ποιήσεις αὐτοῖς τὸν ἁγνισμὸν αὐτῶν· περιρρανεῖς αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ ἁγνισμοῦ, καὶ ἐπελεύσεται ξυρὸν ἐπὶ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν, καὶ πλυνοῦσι τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ καθαροὶ ἔσονται.
