1 Kwase kusondela amadodakazi kaSelofehadi kaHeferi kaGileyadi kaMakiri kaManase, awemindeni kaManase indodana kaJosefa; lawa angamagama amadodakazi akhe: oMahela, noNowa, noHogila, noMilka, noTirisa.
2 Ema phambi kukaMose naphambi kuka-Eleyazare umpristi, naphambi kwezikhulu, naphambi kwayo yonke inhlangano ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, athi:
3 “Ubaba wafela ehlane; wayengekho phakathi kweviyo labahlanganyela uJehova kulo iviyo likaKora; kepha wafa ngesakhe isono engenamadodana.
4 Igama likababa liyakusulelwani emndenini wakhe, lokhu engenandodana na? Siphe ifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakababa.”
5 UMose wayiletha indaba yawo phambi kukaJehova.
