Num 8:1 The LORD said to Moses,
Num 8:2 "Tell Aaron to put the seven lamps on the lampstand so they shine toward the front."
Num 8:3 Aaron obeyed and placed the lamps as he was told.
Num 8:4 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.
Num 8:5 The LORD said to Moses:
Num 8:6 The Levites must be acceptable to me before they begin working at the sacred tent. So separate them from the rest of the Israelites
Num 8:7 and sprinkle them with the water that washes away their sins. Then have them shave their entire bodies and wash their clothes.
Intricate rituals for the cleansing for the Levites before appearing in the temple.
Christ cleansed us with his blood.

Jacob Wrestling with the ANGEL of GOD
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
Genesis32:23-31
