30 “‘Konke okwetshumi+ kwelizwe ngokukaJehova kungelani lokuthi yisivuno esivela emasimini kumbe yizithelo ezivela ezihlahleni. Kuyinto engcwele kuJehova.

37 Sizaletha lefulawa esiyenze ngamabele ethu okuqala,+ leminikelo yethu, lezithelo zazo zonke izihlahla,+ lewayini elitsha kanye lamafutha.+ Konke lokhu sizakuletha kubaphristi bakufake eziphaleni zendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.+ Sizakhipha lokwetshumi kwalokho esikuvune emasimini sikunike amaLevi+ ngoba yiwo aqoqa okwetshumi kuwo wonke amadolobho asemaphandleni okulinywa kuwo.

44 Ngalelolanga kwakhethwa amadoda ayezakhangela iziphala+ okwakugcinwa kuzo iminikelo+ lezithelo zokuqala+ lokwetshumi.+ Kwakumele afake kuzo iminikelo eyayivela emasimini edolobho ngalinye, leyo uMthetho owawusithi kufanele ikhitshwe+ ukuze kuncediswe abaphristi lamaLevi.+ Phela abantu babethokoza kakhulu koJuda ngenxa yomsebenzi owawusenziwa ngabaphristi lamaLevi.

5 UMthetho uyatsho sibili ukuthi abangamadodana kaLevi,+ abaphiwa umsebenzi wokuba ngabaphristi balaywa ukuthi baqoqe okwetshumi ebantwini,+ kulabo abangabafowabo, lanxa beyizizukulwane zika-Abrahama.*
