Umzi ngamnye uya kufumana ilifa lawo ngokwenani lababhaliweyo. 55Qiniseka ukuba umhlaba wahlulwa *ngamaqashiso. Isabelo somzi sohamba ngokobubanzi bawo. 56Ewe, ilifa elo liya kwabiwa ngamaqashiso kwimizi ebanzi nenganeno ngokunjalo.”
57Nalu uludwe lwemizi yakwaLevi: amaGershon, amaKohati, namaMerari. 58Kwinzala yayo kukho nale mizi: amaLibheni, amaHebron, amaMali, amaMushi, namaKora. UKohati nguyise ka-Amram 59owathatha umLevikazi uJokobhedi owazalelwa eJiputa. Ke yena wazalela uAmram oonyana ababini, uAron noMosis, nentombi uMiriyam. 60UAron wayenoonyana abane, uNadabhi, uAbhihu, uElazare, noItamare. 61UNadabhi noAbhihu ke bona bafa ngokwenzela uNdikhoyo umlilo ongafanelekanga. 62Ke bona abaLevi abangamadoda ababudala buyinyanga nangaphezulu baba ngamashumi amabini anantathu amawaka.

Nangoku ke kwaba njalo.
