50Wena ke abaLevi uze ubenze bavelele umnquba wesingqino nempahla yawo yonke, nento yonke ekuwo, bawuthwale umnquba nempahla yawo yonke, balungiselele kuwo, bamise iintente zabo ngeenxa zonke emnqubeni. 51Ekundulukeni komnquba wówiswa ngabaLevi; ekumisweni komnquba wóphakanyiswa ngabaLevi; owasemzini osondelayo kuwo makabulawe. 52Oonyana bakaSirayeli bomisa elowo intente yakhe eminqubeni yakowabo, elowo ebhanileni• yakowabo, ngokwemikhosi yabo. 53AbaLevi bona bozimisa ezabo ngeenxa zonke emnqubeni wesingqino, ukuze kungezi burhalarhume phezu kwebandla loonyana bakaSirayeli, basigcine abaLevi isigxina somnquba wesingqino.
