Indawo ecwengileko izokuba phakathi kwawo.

9 “Umnikelo kaJehova ekufuze niwubekele ngeqadi uzokuba makhubhithi azii-25 000 ubude nazii-10 000 ububanzi. 10 Lo, kuzokuba mnikelo ocwengileko wabaphristi.+ Izokuba makhubhithi azii-25 000 ehlangothini letlhagwini, azii-10 000 etjingalanga, azii-10 000 epumalanga nazii-25 000 esewula. Indawo ecwengileko kaJehova izokuba phakathi kwawo. 11 Izokuba ngeyabaphristi abacwengisiweko ukusukela emadodaneni kaTsadokhi,+ lawo atlhogomela umsebenzawo kimi nangakhenge angitjhiye ama-Israyeli namaLevi nakaphambukako.+ 12 Azokuba nengcenye yomnikelo wenarha ebekelwe eqadi njengento ecwengeke khulu emkhawulweni wamaLevi.

13 “Hlanu kwendawo yabaphristi, amaLevi azokuba nengcenye yamakhubhithi azii-25 000 ubude nazii-10 000 ububanzi. (Ubude benarha seyiyoke buzokuba zii-25 000 ubude nezii-10 000 ububanzi.) 14 Akukafuzi bathengise, barweyile namkha badlulise nanyana ngiyiphi ingcenye ekhethekileko le yenarha ngombana iyinto ecwengileko kuJehova.

15 “Indawo eseleko emakhubhithi azii-5 000 ububanzi eseduze nomkhawulo omakhubhithi azii-25 000 izokusetjenziswa nanyana ngubani edorobheni+ bona kube yindawo yokuhlala namadlelo. Idorobho lizokuba phakathi kwayo.+ 16 Lezi ziinlinganiso zedorobho: Umkhawulo wetlhagwini umakhubhithi azii-4 500, umkhawulo wesewula azii-4 500, umkhawulo wepumalanga azii-4 500 nomkhawulo wetjingalanga azii-4 500. 17 Amadlelo wedorobho azokuba makhubhithi ama-250 ukuya etlhagwini, ama-250 ukuya esewula, ama-250 ukuya epumalanga nama-250 ukuya etjingalanga.

18 “Ubude bengcenye eseleko buzokulingana nomnikelo ocwengileko,+ amakhubhithi azii-10 000 ukuya epumalanga namakhubhithi azii-10 000 ukuya etjingalanga. Izokulingana nomnikelo ocwengileko begodu umkhiqizwayo uzokunikela abasebenza edorobheni ukudla. 19 Labo abasebenza edorobheni abavela kizo zoke iinkoro zakwa-Israyeli bazoyilima.+

20 “Umnikelo opheleleko kufuze ube makhubhithi asikwere azii-25 000. Kufuze niwubekele ngeqadi njengomnikelo ocwengileko kuhlanganise nesabelo sedorobho.

21 “Okuseleko emahlangothini amabili womnikelo ocwengileko nesabelo sedorobho kuzokuba ngekwekosana.+ Kuzokuba eduze nomkhawulo omakhubhithi azii-25 000 asepumalanga netjingalanga yomnikelo. Kuzokulingana neengcenye ezihlangeneko begodu izokuba ngeyekosana. Umnikelo ocwengileko nendawo ecwengileko yethempeli izokuba phakathi kwalo.

22 Isabelo samaLevi nesabelo sedorobho sizokuba hlangana nalokho okungokwekosana. Indawo yekosana izokuba hlangana nomkhawulo wakwaJuda+ nomkhawulo wakwaBhenjamini.

23 “Iingcenye eziseleko, ingcenye kaBhenjamini isuka emkhawulweni wepumalanga ifike emkhawulweni wetjingalanga.+ 24 Ingcenye kaSimiyoni iseduze nomkhawulo kaBhenjamini,+ kusukela emkhawulweni wepumalanga kufikela emkhawulweni wetjingalanga. 25 Ingcenye ka-Isakari+ iseduze nomkhawulo kaSimiyoni, kusukela emkhawulweni wepumalanga kufikela emkhawulweni wetjingalanga. 26 Ingcenye kaZebuloni iseduze nomkhawulo ka-Isakari,+ kusukela emkhawulweni wepumalanga kufikela emkhawulweni wetjingalanga.+ 27 Ingcenye kaGadi iseduze nomkhawulo kaZebuloni,+ kusukela emkhawulweni wepumalanga kufikela emkhawulweni wetjingalanga. 28 Umkhawulo wesewula oseduze nomkhawulo kaGadi uzokusuka eTamari+ uye emanzini weMeriba-Khadetjhi+ kufika emRhobeni*+ neLwandle eliKhulu.*

29 “Le, yinarha ekufuze niyihlukanise njengelifa leenkoro zakwa-Israyeli+ begodu lezi kuzokuba ziingcenye zazo,”+ kutjho iKosi ePhakemeko uJehova.

30 “Lokhu kuzokuba buphumo bedorobho: Ihlangothi langetlhagwini lizokuba silinganiso samakhubhithi azii-4 500.+

31 “Amasango wedorobho azokubizwa ngokweenkoro zakwa-Israyeli. Amasango amathathu angetlhagwini, kuzokuba nesango linye lakwaRubeni, kube nesango linye lakaJuda nesango linye lakaLevi.

32 “Ehlangothini lepumalanga kuzokuba makhubhithi azii-4 500 ubude begodu kunamasango amathathu: isango linye lakaJosefa, isango linye lakaBhenjamini nesango linye lakaDani.

33 Ihlangothi lesewula lizokuba silinganiso esimakhubhithi azii-4 500 namasango amathathu: isango linye lakaSimiyoni, isango linye laka-Isakari nesango linye lakaZebuloni.

34 “Ihlangothi letjingalanga lizokuba makhubhithi azii-4 500 ubude namasango amathathu: isango linye lakaGadi, isango linye laka-Atjheri nesango linye lakaNafitali.

35 “Indawo seyiyoke izokuba makhubhithi azii-18 000, igama ledorobho kusukela ngelangelo lizokuthi uJehova Ulapho.”+
