62 Sebebonke abesilisa abangamaLevi ababhaliswayo kusukela kolenyanga eyodwa kusiya phezulu babengu-23 000.+ Bona abazange babhaliswe labanye abantu bako-Israyeli+ ngoba babengasoze baphiwe ilifa phakathi kwabo.+

63 Laba yibo ababhaliswa nguMosi lo-Eliyazari umphristi ngesikhathi bebhalisa abantu bako-Israyeli emagcekeni akoMowabi eduze komfula uJodani eJerikho.

9 Ngenxa yalokhu abesizwana sakoLevi abaphiwanga isabelo kumbe ilifa phakathi kwabafowabo. UJehova ulilifa labo njengoba nje uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho etshilo kubo.+

27 Ungawakhohlwa amaLevi asemadolobheni akho+ ngoba kawaphiwanga isabelo loba ilifa phakathi kwenu.+

3 UMosi wayenike izizwana ezimbili lenye ingxenye yesizwana sakoManase ilifa ngaphetsheya* komfula uJodani.+ Kodwa amaLevi wona kazange awanike ilifa.+
