20 UJehova wasesithi ku-Aroni: “Wena awusoze uthole ilifa elizweni labo njalo akulangxenye yomhlabathi ezakuba ngeyakho phakathi kwabo.+ Mina yimi isabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantu bako-Israyeli.+

24 Phela amaLevi ngiwanike okwetshumi okunikelwa ngabantu bako-Israyeli ukuthi kube lilifa lawo, konke abazakunikela kuJehova. Yikho ngithe kuwo, ‘Akumelanga abe lelifa phakathi kwabantu bako-Israyeli.’”+

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

28 “Ngaso sonke isikhathi ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu kumele ukhiphe okwetshumi kuso sonke isivuno sakho ukufake emadolobheni akho.+ 29 Lapho-ke amaLevi wona angaphiwanga isabelo loba ilifa phakathi kwenu, lowesinye isizwe, lentandane kanye lomfelokazi abasemadolobheni akho bazabuya badle basuthe+ ukuze uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akubusise kukho konke okwenzayo.+

14 Isizwana sako-Levi yiso sodwa angazange asiphe ilifa.+ Elabo ilifa+ yiminikelo etshiselwa uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, njengoba nje wayebathembisile.+
