kuyisivumelwano sikasawoti kuze kube phakade ngaphambi kukaJehova kuwena nakuyo inzalo yakho kanye nawe. ²⁰ UJehova wathi ku -Aroni: Awuyikuba nafa ezweni lakubo , futhi ungabi nasabelo phakathi kwabo ; mina ngiyisabelo sakho nefa lakho phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. ²¹ Bhekani, ngibanikile abantwana bakwaLevi konke okweshumi kwa-Israyeli, kube yifa labo , ngomsebenzi abawusebenzayo , inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana. ²² Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli mabangabe besasondela etendeni lokuhlangana , funa bathwale isono, bafe. ²³ Kepha amaLevi ayakugcina inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana, athwale ububi bawo; kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu ; naphakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abayikuba nafa. ²⁴ Ngokuba okweshumi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abanikela ngakho, kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova , ngikunikile amaLevi kube yifa lawo; ngalokho ngishilo kuwo, ngathi: Phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli aniyikuba nafa. ²⁵ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: ²⁶ Futhi uyakukhuluma kumaLevi , uthi kuwo : Nxa nithabatha kwabakwa - Israyeli okweshumi engininike khona kuvela kubo, kube yifa lenu , niyakunikela ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova , okweshumi kokweshumi. ²⁷ Umnikelo wenu wokuphakanyiswa uyakubalelwa nina , njengalokho bekungamabele esibuya nanjengokugcwala kwesikhamo sewayini. ²⁸ Kanjalo nani niyakunikela ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova ngakho konke okweshumi kwenu enikwamukelayo kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli; niyakunikela ku-Aroni umpristi ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kaJehova. ²⁹ Kuzo zonke izipho zenu niyakunikela ngayo yonke iminikelo yokuphakanyiswa kuJehova , konke okuhle kwayo , inxenye yayo engcwelisiweyo. ³⁰ Ngalokho uyakusho kubo ukuthi : Nxa niphakamisa okuhle kwayo , kuyakubalelwa amaLevi njengokwanda kwesibuya nokwanda kwesikhamo sewayini. ³¹ Niyakukudlela ezindaweni zonke , nina nabezindlu zenu , ngokuba kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu etendeni lokuhlangana. ³² Aniyikuthwala sono ngenxa yakho , lapho seniphakamisile okuhle kwakho , ningahlambalazi izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba ningafi.
