The LORD said to Moses:
The rest of the Levites were appointed to work at the sacred tent.
The lampstand was made of hammered gold from its base to the decorative flowers on top, exactly like the pattern the LORD had described to Moses.
The Levites must be acceptable to me before they begin working at the sacred tent. So separate them from the rest of the Israelites
After I put the two stones in the sacred chest, the LORD chose the tribe of Levi, not only to carry the chest, but also to serve as his priests at the place of worship and to bless the other tribes in his name. And they still do these things.
