6 Mosè ed Aaronne [furono] fra i suoi sacerdoti; E Samuele fra quelli che invocarono il suo Nome. Essi invocarono il Signore, ed egli rispose loro.
Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.
