Badala yake, ninawapa Walawi zaka zote zinazotolewa na Waisraeli kama sadaka kwa Bwana kuwa urithi wao. Hiyo ndiyo sababu nimesema hivi kuhusu wao: ‘Hawatakuwa na urithi miongoni mwa Waisraeli.’”
25 and to speak: speak LORD to(wards) Moses to/for to say
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
26 and to(wards) [the] Levi to speak: speak and to say to(wards) them for to take: take from with son: descendant/people Israel [obj] [the] tithe which to give: give to/for you from with them in/on/with inheritance your and to exalt from him contribution LORD tithe from [the] tithe
