Khona uDavide wathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nga ungathwalwa muntu, ngamaLevi kuphela , ngokuba yiwona akhet hwe nguJehova ukuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nokumkhonza kuze kube phakade.

ngokuba abalindi abane abakhulu ababe ngamaLevi babe sesikhundleni njalo, bephethe amakamelo nengcebo endlini kaNkulunkulu.

Bafika kuHilikiya umpristi omkhulu , bayinikeza imali eyayilethwe endlini kaNkulunkulu iqoqwe ngamaLevi, abalindisango, esandleni sakwaManase no- Efrayimi, nakuyo yonke insali yakwa -Israyeli, nakuye wonke uJuda noBenjamini, nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema;

Inkatho yadla imindeni yamaKohati; abantwana bakwa-Aroni umpristi ababe ngamaLevi babelwa esizweni sakwaJuda , nasesizweni sakwaSimeyoni , nasesizweni sakwaBenjamini imizi eyishumi nantathu.

UMose wayesethatha imali yokuhlenga kulabo abadlula abahlengiwe ngamaLevi;

Benze njalo-ke oMose no-Aroni nayo yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa- Israyeli kumaLevi ; njengakho konke uJehova amyala ngakho uMose ngamaLevi, benze njalo kuwo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Emva kwalokho amaLevi angena ukwenza umsebenzi wawo etendeni lokuhlangana phambi kuka -Aroni naphambi kwamadodana akhe ; njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose ngamaLevi, benze njalo-ke kuwo.
