6 Ngakho uMose wazamukela izinqola nezinkomo, wazinika amaLevi. 7 Izinqola ezimbili nezinkomo ezine wazinika amadodana kaGereshoni ngokwalokho okwakudingeka emisebenzini yawo; + 8 izinqola ezine nezinkomo ezingu-8 wazinika amadodana kaMerari ngokwalokho okwakudingeka emisebenzini yawo, eqondiswa u-Itamari indodana ka-Aroni umpristi. + 9 Kodwa amadodana kaKohati akawanikanga lutho ngoba imisebenzi yawo yayihilela inkonzo yendawo engcwele, + futhi ayethwala izinto ezingcwele emahlombe awo. +

2 Kungaleso sikhathi lapho uDavide athi khona: “Akekho okumele athwale uMphongolo kaNkulunkulu weqiniso ngaphandle kwamaLevi, ngoba yiwo uJehova awakhethele ukuthwala uMphongolo kaJehova nokuba amkhonze njalo.” +
