Numbers 8 · Grade 3

Presented to Yahweh

Name Date

Read the Story

Numbers 8 begins with the lampstand. God told Aaron that when he lit the lamps, the seven lamps should give light in front of it. Aaron did so. The lampstand was made of beaten gold.

Next, God told Moses to cleanse the Levites. They were sprinkled with water, shaved their whole bodies, and washed their clothes. The whole congregation gathered, and the people laid their hands on the Levites.

Aaron presented the Levites as a wave offering to Yahweh. God said, the Levites shall be mine. They took the place of Israel's firstborn. They served from age twenty-five to fifty. After that, the older Levites helped their brothers.
