Utatha mliri Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni,

2 Number the whole sum of the children of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their houses and kindreds, all that are able to go forth to war.

“Werengani Aisraeli onse mwa mabanja awo, onse a zaka makumi awiri kapena kuposera pamenepo omwe angathe kugwira ntchito ya usilikali mʼgulu lankhondo la Israeli.”
