Babuya bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli, elowo waya elifeni lakhe, emizini yakowabo.
2 UHezekiya wawamisa amaqela ababingeleli nawabaLevi ngokwamaqela abo, elowo ngokomsebenzi wakhe, ababingeleli nabaLevi; wabamisela amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo yoxolo, ukuba balungiselele, babulele, badumise emasangweni eminquba kaYehova.
