Ngoba iNkosi yayikhulume kuMozisi yathi:
49 « Kotanga te motango ya bato ya libota ya Levi, kokotisa bango te na molongo ya bato mosusu ya Isalaele.
Kuphela isizwe sakoLevi ungasibali, ungathathi inani lonke laso phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli;
50 Okopesa na bato ya libota ya Levi mokumba ya Mongombo ya Litatoli mpe ya bisalelo na yango nyonso elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezalaka kati na Mongombo. Bango bakozwa mokumba ya komemaka yango elongo na bisalelo na yango mpe bakovanda zingazinga na yango.
kodwa wena, misa amaLevi phezu kwethabhanekele lobufakazi, laphezu kwazo zonke izitsha zalo, laphezu kwakho konke okwalo. Wona azathwala ithabhanekele lazo zonke izitsha zalo; futhi wona azakhonza kulo, amise amathente awo azingelezele ithabhanekele.
51 Tango nyonso Mongombo ekolongwa na esika moko mpo na kokende na esika mosusu, Balevi nde bakolongola yango; mpe tango ekotelema, bango mpe kaka nde bakotelemisa yango. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pembeni na yango asengeli kokufa.
Lekusukeni kwethabhanekele amaLevi azalidiliza, lekumisweni kwethabhanekele amaLevi azalimisa. Lowemzini osondelayo uzabulawa.
52 Bana ya Isalaele bakotelemisa bandako na bango ya kapo kolanda milongo na bango ya mampinga, mpe moto na moto akozala kati na molako na ye, na se ya bendele na ye.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazamisa-ke amathente abo, kube ngulowo lalowo enkambeni yakhe, langulowo lalowo ngophawu lwakhe, ngokwamabutho abo.
53 Kasi bato ya libota ya Levi bakotelemisa bandako na bango ya kapo zingazinga ya Mongombo ya Litatoli mpo ete kanda makasi ya Yawe ekoka kokweya likolo ya lisanga ya bana ya Isalaele te. Bato ya libota ya Levi nde bakosala mosala ya kobatela Mongombo ya Litatoli. »
Kodwa amaLevi azamisa amathente awo azingeleze ithabhanekele lobufakazi, ukuze kungabi lolaka phezu kwenhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayeli; amaLevi azagcina-ke umlindo wethabhanekele lobufakazi.
54 Bana ya Isalaele basalaki makambo oyo nyonso, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengakho konke iNkosi eyayimlaye khona uMozisi, benza njalo.
