44 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

Upe mari yokudzikinurwa kwavaIsraeri vanopfuura uwandu hunodiwa kuna Aroni navanakomana vake.”
49 UMozisi wasethatha imali yohlengo kulabo ababesele phezu kwabahlengwa ngamaLevi.
Saka Mozisi akatora mari yedzikinuro kubva kuna vakanga vapfuurira uwandu hwavaya vakanga vadzikinurwa navaRevhi.
50 Wayithatha imali kumazibulo abantwana bakoIsrayeli, amashekeli ayinkulungwane lamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele.
Kubva kumatangwe eIsraeri akatora sirivha yairema chiuru chimwe, namazana matatu namakumi matanhatu namashanu amashekeri, maererano neshekeri renzvimbo tsvene.
51 UMozisi wasenika uAroni lamadodana akhe imali yabahlengiweyo, ngokomlomo weNkosi, njengalokhu iNkosi imlayile uMozisi.
Mozisi akapa mari yedzikinuro kuna Aroni navanakomana vake, sezvaakanga arayirwa neshoko raJehovha.
