20 Benza ke ooMoses noAron nebandla lonke loonyana bakaSirayeli kubaLevi; ngako konke uYehova awamwisela umthetho uMoses ngabo abaLevi, benjenjalo kubo oonyana bakaSirayeli.
21 Bazihlambulula isono abaLevi, bahlamba iingubo zabo; uAron wabatshangatshangisa, baba ngumtshangatshangiso phambi koYehova; uAron wabacamagushela ukuba bahlambuluke.
22 Emveni koko bangena abaLevi, ukuba basebenze umsebenzi wabo ententeni yokuhlangana, phambi koAron naphambi koonyana bakhe. Njengoko uYehova wamwisela umthetho uMoses ngabaLevi, benjenjalo kubo.
23 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
24 Nantsi indawo eyeyabaLevi: bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mabini anesihlanu ezelwe, banyuse, mabeze kuphuma umkhosi wokusebenza ententeni yokuhlangana.
25 Bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mahlanu ezelwe, bobuya ekuphumeni umkhosi wokusebenza, bangabi sasebenza.
26 Ke mabasebelungiselela abazalwana babo ententeni yokuhlangana, ngokuthi bagcine isigxina, bangasebenzi msebenzi. Ùya kwenjenjalo kubaLevi ezigxineni zabo.
