Mapapiro amakerubhi pamwe chete aisvika makubhiti makumi maviri pakureba kwawo. Bapiro rimwe chete rekerubhi rokutanga rakanga rakareba makubhiti mashanu uye raibata madziro etemberi, rimwe bapiro rayo rakareba makubhiti mashanu richibata rimwe bapiro reimwe kerubhi.
12 Ngokunjalo uphiko lwelinye ikherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu lufinyelela emdulini wendlu; lolunye uphiko lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu lunamathele ephikweni lwelinye ikherubhi.
Zvimwe chetezvo bapiro rimwe rekerubhi rechipiri rakanga rakareba makubhiti mashanu uye raibata mamwe madziro etemberi uye rimwe racho rakareba zvimwe chetezvo makubhiti mashanu richibata bapiro rekerubhi rokutanga.
13 Impiko zalamakherubhi zeluleka ingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; njalo ema ngenyawo zawo, lobuso bawo bukhangele ngasendlini.
