52 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,53 Malabelwe ezo zizwe ilizwe, libe lilifa lazo ngenani lamagama.54 Esininzi wolenza lininzi ilifa laso, esincinane wolenza lincinane ilifa laso; eso sinikwe ilifa ngokwababalwayo kuso.55 Kodwa ilizwe malabiwe ngeqashiso, balidle ilifa ngokwamagama ezizwe zooyise;56 labiwe ilifa lazo ngokweqashiso, phakathi kwesininzi nesincinane.

UKehati wazala uAmram.59 Igama lomka-Amram nguYokebhede, intombi kaLevi, eyazalelwa uLevi eYiputa; yamzalela uAmram ooAron noMoses, noMiriyam udade wabo.60 UAron wazalelwa uNadabhi, noAbhihu, noElazare, noItamare.61 Bafa ooNadabhi noAbhihu ekusondezeni kwabo umlilo ongesesikweni phambi koYehova.62 Ababalwayo kubo baba ngamashumi omabini anamathathu amawaka, yonke into eyindoda, bethabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye benyusa; kuba bebengabalwanga phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli; ngokuba bebengenalifa phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.

63 Ngabo abo babalwayo nguMoses noElazare umbingeleli, ababebabala oonyana bakaSirayeli ezinkqantosini zakwaMowabhi ngaseYordan, malunga neYeriko.64 Ke kwabo kube kungasekho mntu wababebalwe ngooMoses noAron umbingeleli, abababalayo oonyana bakaSirayeli entlango yeSinayi.65 Ngokuba uYehova ebethe kubo, Mabafele bona entlango kanye. Akwasala namnye ke kubo, ingenguKalebhi unyana kaYefune, noYoshuwa unyana kaNun.
