“Waambie Waisraeli wanitolee sadaka kila mtu nawe utapokea kutoka kwa mtu yeyote atakayetoa kwa moyo mkunjufu. Lazima upokee hizi sadaka kwa ajili yangu.
3 These are the items you are to accept from them as contributions: gold, silver, and bronze;
Hizi ndio sadaka utakazopokea kwao; dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
