6 मोशा र हारून उहाँका पुजारीमध्‍येका थिए, र शमूएल उहाँको नाउँ पुकारा गर्नेहरूमध्येका थिए । तिनीहरू परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो ।

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.

Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
