3Lawa angamagama amadodana ka-Aroni, abapristi abagcotshiweyo, abamise ukuba bakhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

5UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
6Sondeza isizwe sakwaLevi, usimise phambi kuka-Aroni umpristi ukuba simkhonze.
7Bayakugcina inkonzo yayo nenkonzo yebandla lonke phambi kwetende lokuhlangana, benze inkonzo yetende.
8Kumelwe bagcine zonke izinto zetende lokuhlangana nenkonzo yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuze benze umsebenzi wenkonzo yetende.
9AmaLevi uyakuwanika u-Aroni namadodana akhe; baphiwa kuye besuka phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
10Kumelwe umise u-Aroni namadodana akhe, futhi kumelwe balinde esikhundleni sabo sobupristi; futhi umfokazi osondelayo kumelwe abulawe.
11UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
12Mina-ke, bheka, ngawathatha amaLevi phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli esikhundleni samazibulo onke avula isizalo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ngalokho amaLevi ayakuba ngawami;
13Ngoba wonke amazibulo angawami; ngokuba mhla ngibulala amazibulo onke ezweni laseGibithe, ngazingcwelisela kimi onke amazibulo akwa-Israyeli, abantu nawezilwane; bayakuba ngabami; nginguJehova.
14UJehova wakhuluma kuMose ehlane laseSinayi, wathi:
15Bala abantwana bakwaLevi ngemindeni yabo ngezizukulwane zabo: bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu uyakubabala.
16UMose wababala njengezwi likaJehova, njengalokho eyaliwe.
17Lawa angamadodana kaLevi ngamagama awo; uGereshoni noKohati noMerari.
18Lawa angamagama amadodana kaGereshoni ngemindeni yawo; uLibni noShimeyi.
19Amadodana kaKohati ngemindeni yawo; u-Amramu no-Ishehari, uHebroni no-Uziyeli.
20Amadodana kaMerari ngemindeni yawo; UMahli noMusi. Lezi ziyizizukulwane zamaLevi ngemindeni yawo.
21KwaGereshoni kwavela umndeni wakwaLibini nomndeni wakwaSimi; lezi ziyizizukulwane zamaGereshoni.
22Labo ababalwayo ngenani labo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, ababalwayo kubo babe yizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu amahlanu.
23Imindeni yamaGereshoni kumelwe ikanise ngemva kwetabernakele ngasentshonalanga.
24Isikhulu sendlu kayise wamaGereshoni siyakuba ngu-Eliyasafa indodana kaLayeli.
25Inkonzo yamadodana kaGereshoni etendeni lokuhlangana iyakuba yitabernakele netende, nesembozo salo, neveli lomnyango wetende lokuhlangana;
26nezilenge zegceke, nesilenge somnyango wegceke elingasetabernakele nase-altare nxazonke, nezintambo zalo zomsebenzi wonke walo.
27KwaKohati kwavela umndeni wakwa-Amramu nomndeni wama-Ishari nomndeni wakwaHebroni nomndeni wakwa-Uzili; lezi ziyizizukulwane zamaKohati.
28Ngokwenani labo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili namakhulu ayisithupha ababegcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.
29Imindeni yamadodana kaKohati iyakumisa eceleni kwetabernakele ngaseningizimu.
30Isikhulu sendlu kayise wemindeni yamaKohati siyakuba ngu-Elishafani indodana ka-Uziyeli.
31Inkonzo yabo iyakuba ngumphongolo, netafula, nothi lwesibani, nama-altare, nezinto zendlu engcwele abakhonza ngazo, neveli, nayo yonke inkonzo yalo.
32U-Eleyazare, indodana ka-Aroni umpristi, kumelwe abe induna yezikhulu zamaLevi, aqondise labo abagcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

35Isikhulu sendlu kayise wemindeni yakwaMerari sasinguSuriyeli indodana ka-Abihayili; kumelwe bakanise ohlangothini lwetabernakele, olubheke enyakatho.
36Ngaphansi kwesandla sokuqondisa nokuqondisa kwamadodana kaMerari kuyakuba khona izinsika zetabernakele, nemishayo yalo, nezinsika zalo, nezisekelo zalo, nazo zonke izinto zalo, nakho konke okukhonza kulo;
37nezinsika zegceke nxazonke, nezinyawo zazo, nezikhonkwane zazo, nezintambo zazo.
38Abamisa phambi kwetabernakele ngasempumalanga phambi kwetende lokuhlangana ngasempumalanga, bayakuba ngoMose no-Aroni namadodana akhe abagcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele enkonzweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; futhi umfokazi osondelayo kumelwe abulawe.
39Bonke ababalwayo bamaLevi uMose no-Aroni abababalayo ngokomyalo weNkosi ngezizukulwane zabo, bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.
40UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bala onke amazibulo abantwana babantwana bakwa-Israyeli kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, uthabathe inani lamagama abo.
41Kumelwe ungithathele amaLevi, nginguJehova, esikhundleni samazibulo onke phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; nezinkomo zamaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke ezinkomo zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
42UMose wabala onke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, njengalokho uJehova emyalile.
43Onke amazibulo esilisa ngenani lamagama, kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, ababalwayo kubo, ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha nantathu.
44UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
45Thatha amaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nezinkomo zamaLevi esikhundleni sezinkomo zabo; amaLevi ayakuba ngawami. Mina nginguJehova.
46Abazahlengwa kumazibulo angamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha nantathu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abangaphezu kwamaLevi;
47Kumelwe uthathe amashekeli amahlanu isigxobo ngasinye, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele kumelwe uyithathe; (ishekeli lingamagera angamashumi amabili:)
48Kumelwe uyinike u-Aroni namadodana akhe imali okufanele isibalo sabo esingavamile sihlengwe ngayo.
49UMose wathatha imali yesihlengo kulabo ababengaphezu kwabahlengwe ngamaLevi.
50Wayithatha imali kumazibulo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli; amashekeli ayinkulungwane namakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele;
51UMose wayinika u-Aroni namadodana akhe imali yesihlengo njengezwi likaJehova, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.
