8 Mayelana nemizi eniyakuyinika nithathe kulo izwe labantwana bakwa-Israyeli, kwabaningi nithathe eminingi, kwabayingcosana nithathe eyingcosana, yilowo nalowo anike amaLevi ngokuthatha kuyo imizi yakhe njengefa lakhe alidlayo.”
9 UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
10 “Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Nxa niwela iJordani ningena ezweni laseKhanani,
11 niyakumisela imizi ibe yimizi yokuphephela ukuba umbulali obulala umuntu kungengamabomu abalekele khona.
12 Iyakuba yimizi yenu yokuphepha kumphindiseli, ukuze umbulali angafi engakemi phambi kwenhlangano, ahlulelwe.
13 Imizi eniyakuwanika yona iyakuba yimizi yenu eyisithupha yokuphephela.
14 Niyakunikela imizi emithathu ngaphesheya kweJordani, ninikele imizi emithathu ezweni laseKhanani ibe yimizi yokuphephela.
