2 izikhulu zakwaSirayeli eziziintloko zeendlu zooyise, ezizizikhulu zezizwe ezibe zisongamela ababalwáyo, zasondeza iminikelo.
3 Zawuzisa umnikelo wazo phambi koYehova, iinqelo ezinophahla zantandathu, neenkomo zalishumi elinambini: yayinqwelo kwizikhulu ezibini, yayinkomo kwisikhulu esinye; zazisondeza phambi komnquba.
4 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
5 Zithabathe kuzo zibe zezokusebenza umsebenzi wentente yokuhlangana, uzinike abaLevi, elowo ngokomsebenzi wakhe.
6 Wazithabatha ke uMoses iinqwelo neenkomo, wazinika abaLevi.
7 Ezimbini iinqwelo neenkomo eziné wazinika oonyana bakaGershon ngokomsebenzi wabo;
8 eziné iinqwelo neenkomo ezisibhozo wazinika oonyana bakaMerari ngokomsebenzi wabo, esandleni sikaItamare, unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli.
