UNumeri 3:40-51

UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bala onke amazibulo abantwana babantwana bakwa-Israyeli kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, uthabathe inani lamagama abo. Kumelwe ungithathele amaLevi, nginguJehova, esikhundleni samazibulo onke phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; nezinkomo zamaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke ezinkomo zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. UMose wabala onke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, njengalokho uJehova emyalile. Onke amazibulo esilisa ngenani lamagama, kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, ababalwayo kubo, ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha nantathu. UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: Thatha amaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nezinkomo zamaLevi esikhundleni sezinkomo zabo; amaLevi ayakuba ngawami. Mina nginguJehova. Abazahlengwa kumazibulo angamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha nantathu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abangaphezu kwamaLevi; Kumelwe uthathe amashekeli amahlanu isigxobo ngasinye, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele kumelwe uyithathe; (ishekeli lingamagera angamashumi amabili:) Kumelwe uyinike u-Aroni namadodana akhe imali okufanele isibalo sabo esingavamile sihlengwe ngayo. UMose wathatha imali yesihlengo kulabo ababengaphezu kwabahlengwe ngamaLevi. Wayithatha imali kumazibulo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli; amashekeli ayinkulungwane namakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele; UMose wayinika u-Aroni namadodana akhe imali yesihlengo njengezwi likaJehova, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.
