4 ¹Wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses nakuAron, wathi:

²“Balani amaKehati phakathi koonyana bakaLevi, ngokwemizalwane yabo nangokwezindlu zooyise. ³Uthabathele kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, unyuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu, bonke abangena ekukhonzeni ukuba basebenze umsebenzi ententeni yokuhlangana.

⁴“Nguwo lo umsebenzi woonyana bakaKehati ententeni yokuhlangana: izinto eziyingcwele kangcwele. ⁵Xa isuka iminquba, uAron noonyana bakhe bothula umkhusane osithelisayo, bayisithelise ngawo ityeya yesingqino. ⁶Baya kuyigubungela ngezikhumba zamahlengezi, baneke phezu kwayo ingubo emsi yonke, bayifake nezibonda zayo.

⁷“Etafileni yezonka zokubonisa boneka ingubo emsi, babeke kuyo izitya, nemicephe, neendebe, neenkamba zokuthulula; sohlala kuyo isonka samaxesha onke. ⁸Boneka phezu kwazo ingubo ebomvu, bayigubungele ngezikhumba zamahlengezi, bayifake nezibonda zayo.

⁹“Bothabatha ingubo emsi, basigubungele isiphatho sezibane sokukhanya, nezibane zaso, nezifinyiso zaso, neengcedevu zaso, neempahla zaso zonke zeoli abasilungiselela ngazo. ¹⁰Bossongela kunye neempahla zaso zonke ezikhumbeni zamahlengezi, basibeke esiqwengeni sokuthwala.

¹¹“Phezu kwesibingelelo segolide boneka ingubo emsi, basigubungele ngezikhumba zamahlengezi, basifake nezibonda zaso. ¹²Bothabatha zonke iimpahla zokukhonza abakhonza ngazo engcweleni, bazibeke engubeni emsi, bazigubungele ngezikhumba zamahlengezi, bazibeke esibondeni.

¹³“Bowola uthuthu esibingelelweni, baneke phezu kwaso ingubo emfusa. ¹⁴Babeke phezu kwaso zonke iimpahla zaso zokukhonza—iingcedevu, neefolokhwe, nemihlakulwana, nezitya zokutshiza, zonke iimpahla zesibingelelo—baneke phezu kwaso isigubungelo sezikhumba zamahlengezi, basifake nezibonda zaso.

¹⁵“Xa uAron noonyana bakhe begqibile ukusigubungela isingcwele neempahla zonke zengcwele, iminquba isuka, bosondela oonyana bakaKehati ukuba bakuthwale, kodwa mabangazichukumisi izinto eziyingcwele, hleze bafe. Yiyo leyo imithwalo yoonyana bakaKehati ententeni yokuhlangana.

¹⁶“UElazare, unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli, uphethe ioli yesibane, nesiqhumiso esimnandi, nomnikelo wokudla wamihla ngemihla, neoli yokuthambisa—uphethe umnquba wonke, neento zonke ezikuwo, nengcwele neempahla zayo.”

¹⁷Wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses nakuAron, wathi:

¹⁸“Musani ukusinqumla isizwe semizalwane yamaKehati phakathi koonyana bakaLevi. ¹⁹Yenzani le nto kubo ukuze baphile bangafi, xa besondela ezintweni eziyingcwele kangcwele: uAron noonyana bakhe bomelwe ukungena, bamisele elowo emsebenzini wakhe nakumthwalo wakhe. ²⁰Kodwa mabangangeni bazibone izinto ezingcwele, nokuba kungephanyazo, hleze bafe.”

Umsebenzi WamaGershon

²¹Wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses, wathi:

²²“Bala nawo amaGershon, ngokwezindlu zooyise nangokwemizalwane yabo. ²³Bala abo bathabathela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, banyuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu, abakhonzayo, besebenza umsebenzi ententeni yokuhlangana.

²⁴“Nguwo lo umsebenzi wemizalwane yamaGershon, ekukhonzeni nasekuthwaleni: ²⁵Bothwala amalengalenga omnquba, intente yokuhlangana nesigubungelo sayo, isigubungelo sezikhumba zamahlengezi esisigqumileyo, nesisitheliso esisithelisa umnyango wayo, ²⁶namawunduwundu entendelezo, nesisitheliso somnyango wesango lentendelezo esijikeleze umnquba nesibingelelo, nezintya zawo, neempahla zonke zokukhonza kwawo—boyenza yonke into ezifuna yona ezi zinto. ²⁷UAron noonyana bakhe bowulawula wonke umsebenzi wamaGershon—ukuthwala kwawo nemisebenzi yawo; bowamisela yonke into abomelwe ukuyithwala. ²⁸Nguwo lo umsebenzi wemizalwane yamaGershon ententeni yokuhlangana, nesigxina sabo esandleni sikaItamare, unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli.

Oonyana BakaMerari

²⁹“Ke bona oonyana bakaMerari, uze ubabale ngokwemizalwane yabo nangokwezindlu zooyise. ³⁰Bala bonke abathabathela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, banyuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu, abangena ekukhonzeni ukuba basebenze umsebenzi ententeni yokuhlangana. ³¹Nguwo lo umthwalo wabo, umsebenzi wabo ababawusebenzayo ententeni yokuhlangana: ziiplanga, nemivalo, neentsika, neziseko zomnquba. ³²neentsika ezijikeleze intendelezo, kunye neziseko, nezikhonkwane, nezintya zazo, neempahla zazo zonke nomsebenzi wazo—bowamisela ngamagama into elowo omelwe ukuyithwala. ³³Nguwo lo umsebenzi wemizalwane yamaMerari abawenza ententeni yokuhlangana, bephethwe nguItamare, unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli.”

³⁴Babala ke uMoses, noAron, nezikhulu zebandla, oonyana bamaKehati ngokwemizalwane yabo nangokwezindlu zooyise, ³⁵bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, banyuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu, bonke abangena emsebenzini wokukhonza ententeni yokuhlangana. ³⁶Ababalwayo kuyo imizalwane yabo babalelwa kumawaka amabini anamakhulu asixhenxe anamanci mahlanu. ³⁷Nilo elo inani lemizalwane yamaKehati, bonke abakhonzayo ententeni yokuhlangana, ababalwa nguMoses noAron ngomthetho kaBawo wethu owathethwa ngoMoses.

³⁸Ababalwayo koonyana bakaGershon, ngokwemizalwane yabo nangokwezindlu zooyise, ³⁹bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, banyuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu, bonke abangena emsebenzini wokukhonza ententeni yokuhlangana. ⁴⁰Ababalwayo ngokwemizalwane yabo nangokwezindlu zooyise baba ngamawaka amabini anamakhulu amathandathu anamanci mathathu. ⁴¹Ngabo abo babalwayo emizalwaneni yamaGershon, bonke ababekhonza ententeni yokuhlangana, ababalwa nguMoses noAron ngomthetho kaBawo wethu.

⁴²Ababalwayo emizalwaneni yoonyana bakaMerari, ngokwemizalwane yabo, nangokwezindlu zooyise, ⁴³bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, banyuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu, bonke abaphuma umkhosi wokusebenza umsebenzi ententeni yokuhlangana, ⁴⁴ababalwayo ngokwemizalwane yabo baba ngamawaka amathathu anamakhulu mabini. ⁴⁵Ngabo abo babalwayo emizalwaneni yoonyana bakaMerari, ababalwa nguMoses noAron ngomthetho kaBawo wethu ngesandla sikaMoses.

⁴⁶Bonke abo babalwayo, ababalwa nguMoses, noAron, nezikhulu zakwaSirayeli, phakathi kwabaLevi, ngokwemizalwane yabo nangokwezindlu zooyise, ⁴⁷bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, banyuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu, bonke ababekhonza bethwala imithwalo ententeni yokuhlangana, ⁴⁸ababalwayo baba ngamawaka asibhozo, anamakhulu mahlanu anamanci asibhozo. ⁴⁹Ngomthetho kaBawo wethu, uMoses wamisela ngamnye emsebenzini wakhe nasemthwalweni wakhe, wababala, njengoko uBawo wethu wamwisela umthetho uMoses.
