And thou shall make a candlestick of pure gold. Of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.
At that time LORD set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of LORD, to stand before LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
