The Wilderness Years

one golden spoon of ten shekels , full of perfume;

one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, one lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering;

one kid of the goats for a sin-offering;

and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five lambs, sons of a year; this is the offering of Ahira son of Enan.

This is the dedication of the altar, in the day of its being anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve silver dishes, twelve silver bowls, twelve golden spoons;

a hundred and thirty shekels each silver dish, and each bowl seventy; all the silver of the vessels is two thousand and four hundred shekels , by the shekel of the sanctuary.

Golden spoons are twelve, full of perfume; ten shekels each spoon, by the shekel of the sanctuary; all the gold of the spoons is a hundred and twenty shekels ;

all the oxen for burnt-offering are twelve bullocks, rams twelve, lambs, sons of a year twelve, and their present; and kids of the goats twelve, for sin-offering;

and all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace-offerings are twenty and four bullocks, rams sixty, he-goats sixty, lambs, sons of a year, sixty; this is the dedication of the altar, in the day of its being anointed.

And in the going in of Moses unto the tent of meeting to speak with Him--he doth even hear the voice speaking unto him from off the mercy-seat which is upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubs; and He speaketh unto him.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the candlestick do the seven lights give light.'

And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

And this is the work of the candlestick: beaten work of gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it is beaten work; as the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the candlestick.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them.

`And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,

and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, --and a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering,

and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons of Israel,

and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,

and Aaron hath waved the Levites--a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been--for doing the service of Jehovah.

`And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites,

and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them--a wave-offering to Jehovah;

and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;

and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them--a wave-offering.
