6 Ngoko uMoses wazithatha iinqwelo neenkomo waza wazinika abaLevi. 7 Oonyana bakaGershon wabanika iinqwelo ezimbini neenkomo ezine ngokwemisebenzi yabo;+ 8 waza wanika oonyana bakaMerari iinqwelo ezine neenkomo ezisibhozo ngokwemisebenzi yabo. Babephethwe nguItamare unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli.+ 9 Kodwa akazange abanike nto oonyana bakaKohati, kuba babesebenza kwindawo engcwele,+ ibe izinto ezingcwele babezithwala emagxeni.+

2 Ngelo xesha uDavide wathi: “Akukho mntu omele athwale iTyeya yoThixo wokwenene ngaphandle kwabaLevi, kuba uYehova ukhethe bona ukuba bathwale iTyeya kaYehova baze bahlale bemsebenzela.”+
