"And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "
— Numbers 8:23, American King James Version
“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,”
“And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, ”
“Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,”
“The Work of the Levites Then the LORD spoke to Moses:”
“And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:”
“And the Lord said to Moses,”
“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,”
And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.
And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them. ¶
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
This is it that belongs to the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
But shall minister with their brothers in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites touching their charge.
