The seven lamps are placed on the golden candlestick, to shine towards the loaves of proposition: the ordination of the Levites: and to what age they shall serve in the tabernacle.

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:E il Signore parlò a Mosè, e disse:AND our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 2Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him: When thou shalt place the seven lamps, let the candlestick be set up on the south side. Give orders therefore that the lamps look over against the north, towards the table of the loaves of proposition, over against that part shall they give light, towards which the candlestick looketh.Parla ad Aronne, e di' a lui: Quando tu avrai messe le sette lucerne sul candelliere, lo collocherai dalla parte di mezzodì. Ordina adunque che le lucerne guardino a settentrione verso la mensa de' pani della proposizione; esse debbon gettare la loro luce in quella parte, che è dirimpetto al candelliere.Speake to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him: When thou shalt place the seuen lampes, let the candlesticke be sette vp in the south part ouer against the north, toward the table of the breades of proposition, ouer against that part toward which the candlesticke looketh, shal they shine.Loquere Aaron, et dices ad eum: Cum posueris septem lucernas, candelabrum in australi parte erigatur. Hoc igitur præcipe ut lucernæ contra boream e regione respiciant ad mensam panum propositionis, contra eam partem, quam candelabrum respicit, lucere debebunt. 3And Aaron did so, and he put the lamps upon the candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.E Aronne fece così, e pose le lucerne sul candelliere, conforme avea ordinato il Signore a Mosè.And Aaron did so, and he put the lampes vpon the candlesticke, as our Lord had cōmanded Moyses. this was the making of the candlesticke,Fecitque Aaron, et imposuit lucernas super candelabrum, ut præceperat Dominus Moysi. 4Now this was the work of the candlestick, it was of beaten gold, both the shaft in the middle, and all that came out of both sides of the branches: according to the pattern which the Lord had shewn to Moses, so he made the candlestick.Or il candelabro era fatto in tal guisa: tanto il tronco di mezzo, quanto tutte le braccia, che spuntavano dall'uno e dall'altro lato, erano di un sol pezzo d'oro lavorato a martello: secondo il modello mostratogli dal Signore fabbricò Mosè il candelabro.of beaten gold, as wel the middle shaft, as al thinges that arose of both sides of the branches: according to the example which our Lord shewed to Moyses, so wrought he the candlesticke.Hæc autem erat factura candelabri, ex auro ductili, tam medius stipes, quam cuncta quæ ex utroque calamorum latere nascebantur: juxta exemplum quod ostendit Dominus Moysi, ita operatus est candelabrum.

5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:E il Signore parlò a Mosè, e disse:And our Lord spake to Moyses saying:Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 6Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them,Separa i Leviti di mezzo a' figliuoli d'Israele, e purificagliTake the Leuites out of the middes of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purifie them,Tolle Levitas de medio filiorum Israël, et purificabis eos 7According to this rite: Let them be sprinkled with the water of purification, and let them shave all the hairs of their flesh. And when they shall have washed their garments, and are cleansed,Con questo rito: si aspergano coll'acqua di espiazione, e radano tutti i peli del loro corpo: e dopo che avranno lavate le lor vesti, e si saranno mondati,according to this rite: Let them be sprinkled with the water of lustration, & shaue al the haires of their flesh. And when they haue washed their garmentes, and are cleansed,juxta hunc ritum: aspergantur aqua lustrationis, et radant omnes pilos carnis suæ. Cumque laverint vestimenta sua, et mundati fuerint, 8They shall take an ox of the herd, and for the offering thereof fine flour tempered with oil: and thou shalt take another ox of the herd for a sin offering:Prenderanno un bue di branco, e per sua libagione del fior di farina aspersa d'olio: un altro bue di branco prenderai tu per lo peccato:they shal take an oxe out of the heardes, and his libament flowre tempered with oyle: and an other oxe out of the heard thou shalt take for sinne:tollent bovem de armentis, et libamentum ejus similam oleo conspersam: bovem autem alterum de armento tu accipies pro peccato: 9And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the children of Israel:E condurrai i Leviti dinanzi al tabernacolo dell'alleanza, congregato tutto il concilio de' figliuoli d'Israele.and thou shalt bring the Leuites before the tabernacle of couenant, calling together al the multitude of the children of Israel.et applicabis Levitas coram tabernaculo fœderis, convocata omni multitudine filiorum Israël. 10And when the Levites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shall put their hands upon them:E quando i Leviti saranno dinanzi al Signore, i figliuoli d'Israele porranno le loro mani sopra di essi:And when the Leuites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shal put their handes vpon them.Cumque Levitæ fuerint coram Domino, ponent filii Israël manus suas super eos.

11And Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a gift in the sight of the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may serve in his ministry.E Aronne offerirà i Leviti qual dono de' figliuoli d'Israele al cospetto del Signore, perché a lui servano nel ministero.and Aaron shal offer the Leuites, a gift in the sight of the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may serue in his ministerie.Et offeret Aaron Levitas, munus in conspectu Domini a filiis Israël, ut serviant in ministerio ejus. 12The Levites also shall put their hands upon the heads of the oxen, of which thou shalt sacrifice one for sin, and the other for a holocaust to the Lord, to pray for them.Parimente i Leviti imporranno le mani loro sulle teste de' buoi, de' quali uno lo immolerai per lo peccato, e l'altro in olocausto al Signore affine d'impetrare grazia per essi.The Leuites also shal put their handes vpon the heades of the oxen, of the which thou shalt make one for sinne, and the other for holocauste of the Lord, to pray for them.Levitæ quoque ponent manus suas super capita boum, e quibus unum facies pro peccato, et alterum in holocaustum Domini, ut depreceris pro eis. 13And thou shalt set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and of his, and shalt consecrate them being offered to the Lord,E presenterai i Leviti al cospetto d'Aronne, e dei suoi figliuoli, e offertigli al Signore li consacrerai,And thou shalt sette the Leuites in the sight of Aaron and of his sonnes, and being offered shal consecrate them to the Lord,Statuesque Levitas in conspectu Aaron et filiorum ejus, et consecrabis oblatos Domino, 14And shalt separate them from the midst of the children of Israel, to be mine.E li separerai di mezzo a' figliuoli d'Israele, affinché sieno miei:and shal separate them from the middes of the children of Israel, to be mine.ac separabis de medio filiorum Israël, ut sint mei. 15And afterwards they shall enter into the tabernacle of the covenant, to serve me. And thus shalt thou purify and consecrate them for an oblation of the Lord: for as a gift they were given me by the children of Israel.E dopo di ciò entreranno nel tabernacolo dell'alleanza per servire a me. In tal guisa tu li purificherai, e li consacrerai in offerendogli al Signore: perocché sono stati donati a me da' figliuoli d'Israele.And afterward they shal enter into the tabernacle of couenant, to serue me. And thou shalt so purifie and consecrate them for an oblation of the Lord: because they were geuen me for a gift of the children of Israel.Et postea ingredientur tabernaculum fœderis, ut serviant mihi. Sicque purificabis et consecrabis eos in oblationem Domini: quoniam dono donati sunt mihi a filiis Israël.

16I have taken them instead of the firstborn that open every womb in Israel,Io gli ho accettati in cambio de' primogeniti, che escono i primi dal sen materno in Israele:For the first borne that open euerie matrice in Israel, I haue taken them. For mine are al the first bornePro primogenitis quæ aperiunt omnem vulvam in Israël, accepi eos. 17For all the firstborn of the children of Israel, both of men and of beasts, are mine. From the day that I slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, have I sanctified them to myself:Perocché sono miei tutti i primogeniti de' figliuoli d'Israele tanto degli uomini, come degli animali: li riserbai per me fin da quel giorno, in cui io uccisi tutti i primogeniti nella terra d'Egitto:of the children of Israel, as wel of men as of beastes. From the day that I smote euerie first borne in the Land of Aegypt, haue I sanctified them to me:Mea sunt enim omnia primogenita filiorum Israël, tam ex hominibus quam ex jumentis. Ex die quo percussi omne primogenitum in terra Ægypti, sanctificavi eos mihi: 18And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel:E io presi i Leviti in vece di tutti i primogeniti dei figliuoli d'Israele:and I haue taken the Leuites for al the first borne of the children of Israel:et tuli Levitas pro cunctis primogenitis filiorum Israël, 19And have delivered them for a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the people, to serve me for Israel in the tabernacle of the covenant, and to pray for them, lest there should be a plague among the people, if they should presume to approach unto my sanctuary.E trattili di mezzo al popolo gli ho donati ad Aronne, e a' suoi figliuoli, affinché servano a me per Israele nel tabernacolo dell'alleanza, e per lui faccian preghiere, affinché non sia flagellato il popolo, ove ardisse d'accostarsi al santuario.and haue deliuered them for a gift to Aaron and his sonnes out of the middes of the people, to serue me for Israel in the tabernacle of couenant, and to pray for them that there be no plague among the people, if they should presume to approch vnto my Sanctuarie.tradidique eos dono Aaron et filiis ejus de medio populi, ut serviant mihi pro Israël in tabernaculo fœderis, et orent pro eis ne sit in populo plaga, si ausi fuerint accedere ad sanctuarium. 20And Moses and Aaron and all the multitude of the children of Israel did with the Levites all that the Lord had commanded Moses:E Mosè ed Aronne, e tutta la moltitudine de' figliuoli d'Israele fecero riguardo a' Leviti quello che il Signore avea comandato a Mosè:And Moyses and Aaron and al the multitude of the children of Israel did concerning the Leuites the thinges that our Lord had commanded Moyses:Feceruntque Moyses et Aaron et omnis multitudo filiorum Israël super Levitas quæ præceperat Dominus Moysi:

21And they were purified, and washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lord, and prayed for them,E furono purificati, e lavarono le loro vesti, e Aronne gli elevò al cospetto del Signore, e fece orazione per essi:and they were purified, and washed their garmentes. And Aaron eleuated them in the sight of our Lord, and prayed for them,purificatique sunt, et laverunt vestimenta sua. Elevavitque eos Aaron in conspectu Domini, et oravit pro eis, 22That being purified they might go into the tabernacle of the covenant to do their services before Aaron and his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses touching the Levites, so was it done.Affinché purificati entrassero ad esercitare gli uffizi loro nel tabernacolo dell'alleanza sotto Aronne, e i figliuoli di lui. Quello che il Signore ordinò a Mosè riguardo a' Leviti, fu fatto.that being purified they might enter to their offices into the tabernacle of couenant before Aaron & his sonnes. Fuen as our Lord had cō manded Moyses touching the Leuites, so was it done.ut purificati ingrederentur ad officia sua in tabernaculum fœderis coram Aaron et filiis ejus. Sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi de Levitis, ita factum est. 23And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:E il Signore parlò a Mosè, e disse:And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 24This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upwards, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.Questa è la legge riguardo a' Leviti: Da' venticinque anni in là entreranno a servire nel tabernacolo dell'alleanza:This is the law of the Leuites, From twentie fiue yeares and vpward, they shal enter in to minister in the tabernacle of couenant.Hæc est lex Levitarum: a viginti quinque annis et supra, ingredientur ut ministrent in tabernaculo fœderis. 25And when they shall have accomplished the fiftieth year of their age, they shall cease to serve:E compiuto l'anno cinquantesimo dell'età loro, finiranno di servire:And when they shal haue accomplisheth the fiftith yeare of their age, they shal cease to serue:Cumque quinquagesimum annum ætatis impleverint, servire cessabunt, 26And they shall be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of the covenant, to keep the things that are committed to their care, but not to do the works. Thus shalt thou order the Levites touching their charge.E saranno aiuti dei loro fratelli al tabernacolo dell'alleanza per aver cura delle cose, che saranno loro affidate; ma non faranno le funzioni di prima. Così disporrai riguardo alle incumbenze de' Leviti.and shal be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of couenant, to keepe the thinges that are cōmended to them, but not to do the verie workes. Thus shalt thou dispose to the Leuites in their custodies.eruntque ministri fratrum suorum in tabernaculo fœderis, ut custodiant quæ sibi fuerunt commendata: opera autem ipsa non faciant. Sic dispones Levitis in custodiis suis.
