Bahlukaniswa ngenkatho, laba nalaba, ngokuba kwakukhona izikhulu zendlu engcwele nezikhulu zikaNkulunkulu emadodaneni ka -Eleyazare nasemadodaneni ka-Itamari.

Amadodana aseleyo kaKohati anikwa ngenkatho emndenini wesizwe , enxenyeni yesizwe, inxenye kaManase, imizi eyishumi,

namadodana kaMerari ngenkatho ngemindeni yawo esizweni sakwaRubeni, nasesizweni sakwaGadi, nasesizweni sakwaZebuloni imizi eyishumi nambili.

Banika ngenkatho leyo mizi ebizwe ngamagama esizweni sabantwana bakwaJuda, nasesizweni sabantwana bakwaSimeyoni , nasesizweni sabantwana bakwaBenjamini.

Kepha nakhu esiyakukwenza eGibeya: Siyakulihlasela ngenkatho,

Kuyakuthi ekwahlukanisweni kwezwe ngenkatho libe ngamafa, ninikele kuJehova ngomnikelo , okungcwele kwezwe , ubude bube ngubude bezinhlanga eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu, ububanzi bube yizinkulungwane eziyishumi , kube ngcwele emikhawulweni yonke nxazonke.

Kuyakuthi nilahlukanise ngenkatho , libe yifa lenu nelabafokazi abagogobala phakathi kwenu nabazele abantwana phakathi kwenu . Bona bayakuba njengabokuzalwa ekhaya phakathi kwab antwana bakwa -Israyeli, badle kanye nani ifa phakathi kwezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

Yilo leli zwe eniyakulahlukanisa ngenkatho , libe yifa lezizwe zakwa - Israyeli; yilezi izabelo zazo, isho iNkosi uJehova. Amasango omuzi

bonke abakhileyo ezintabeni , kusukela eLebanoni kuze kube seMisirefoti Mayimi, onke amaSidoni ; mina ngiyakuwaxosha phambi kwa bantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wena-ke ulabele abakwa -Israyeli ngenkatho , libe yifa njengokukuyala kwami.

ngenkatho yefa labo, njengalokho uJe hova ebeyalile ngesandla sikaMose ngezizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye nangenxenye yesizwe.

Lawo angamafa abawabela ngenkatho u -Eleyazare umpristi , noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni , nezinhloko zawoyise bezizwe zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli eShilo phambi kukaJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana. Baqeda-ke ukwabela izwe.

Imindeni yabantwana bamaKohati amaLevi , abantwana abaseleyo bamaKohati, yabelwa ngenkatho imizi yabo esizweni sakwa-Efrayimi.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bawanika amaLevi ngenkatho leyo mizi kanye namadlelo ayo, njengalokho uJehova ebeyalile ngesandla sikaMose.

Ngalokho akuyikubakho ophonsa intambo ngenkatho ebandleni likaJehova.

Izwe liyakwahlukaniswa nokho ngenkatho; bayakulidla ifa ngokwamagama ezizwe zawoyise.

Niyakulidla izwe ngenkatho ngokwem indeni yakini, abaningi nibanike ifa elikhulu, nabayingcosana nibanike ifa elincane , nakuphi lapho inkatho imudla khona umuntu , kuzakuba ngelakhe ; niyakulidla ifa ngokwezizwe zawoyihlo.

UMose wayala abantwana b akwa-Israyeli, wathi: Lelo liyizwe eniyakulidla ngenkatho, uJehova ayale ngalo ukuba linikwe izizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye nenxenye,

zathi: UJehova wayiyala inkosi yami ukubanika abantwana bakwa -Israyeli izwe libe yifa labo ngenkatho ; inkosi yami yayalwa futhi nguJehova ukuba ifa likaSelofehadi umfowethu iwanike lona amadodakazi akhe.
