Kwathi lapho uNkulunkulu ebhubhisa imizi yasethafeni , uNkulunkulu wakhumbula u -Abrahama, waphumisa uLoti ekuchithekeni mhla ebhubhisa imizi ayehlezi kuyo uLoti.

Izwe lakini liyihlane , imizi yenu ishisiwe ngomlilo , umhlabathi w enu udliwa ngabafokazi phambi kwenu, kuyihlane njengokuchitha kwabafokazi.

Kodwa imizi yamaLevi , izindlu zemizi yefa lawo amaLevi angazihlenga noma nini.

Ngiyakuyenza imizi yenu ibe yizwekufa , ngizenze izindlu zenu ezingcwele zibe yincithakalo ; angisayikuhogela unqambothi lwamaphunga lwen u olumnandi.

nokuthi izwe abakhe kulo linjani , noma lihle noma libi , nokuthi imizi abahlala kuyo injani, noma ngamakamu noma yizinqaba,

Nokho abantu abakhe ezweni banamandla , imizi ibiyelwe , mikhulu kakhulu; futhi sabona abantwana bakwa-Anaki khona.

U-Israyeli wenza isithembiso kuJehova, wathi: Uma unikela nokunikela laba bantu esandleni sami, ngiyakuchitha impela imizi yabo.

UMose wathuma ukuhlola iJazeri, bathatha imizi yalo, baxosha ama-Amori ayelapho.

Yonke imizi yabo yasezindaweni , lapho bebehlala khona , nawo onke amakamu abo bakushisa ngomlilo.

Basondela kuye , bathi: Siyakwakhela lapha izinkomo zethu izibaya nabancane bethu imizi;

Zakheleni imizi yabancane benu nezibaya zezimvu zenu , nikwenze lokho okuphumileyo emlonyeni wenu.

Imizi ayakuhlala kuyo, amadlelo awo abe ngawezinkomo zawo, nawempahla yawo, nawezilwane zonke zawo.

Imizi eniyakuyinika amaLevi iyakuba yimizi eyisithupha yokuphephela , eniyakuyinika umbulali ukuba abalekele kuyo ; ngaphandle kwayo niyakuwanika imizi engamashumi amane nambili.

Yonke imizi eniyakuyinika amaLevi iyakuba ngamashumi amane nesishiyagalombili, yona kanye namadlelo ayo.

Mayelana nemizi eniyakuyinika nithathe kulo izwe labantwana bakwa - Israyeli, kwabaningi nithathe eminingi , kwabayingcosana nithathe eyingcosana, yilowo nalowo anike amaLevi ngokuthatha kuyo imizi yakhe njengefa lakhe alidlayo.

niyakumisela imizi ibe yimizi yokuphephela ukuba umbulali obulala umuntu kungengamabomu abalekele khona.

Imizi eniyakuwanika yona iyakuba yimizi yenu eyisithupha yokuphephela.

Niyakunikela imizi emithathu ngaphesheya kweJordani , ninikele imizi emithathu ezweni laseKhanani ibe yimizi yokuphephela.

Siyakukhuphukelaphi na ? Abafowethu benzile izinhliziyo zethu ziphele amandla ngokusho ukuthi : Abantu bakhulu , bade kunathi ; imizi mikhulu , ibiyelwe kuze kube sezulwini; futhi sibonile amadodana ama-Anaki khona.

Sathatha yonke imizi yakhe ngaleso sikhathi ; akubangakho muzi esingawuthathanga kubo : imizi engamashumi ayisithupha , sonke isifunda sase-Arigobi, umbuso ka-Ogi eBashani.

Khona uMose wahlukanisa imizi emithathu ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga

Yizwa, Israyeli: Wena uyakuwela iJordani namuhla , ungene udle izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunawe , imizi emikhulu nebiyelwe kuze kube sezulwini,

uyakuzahlukanisela imizi emithathu phakathi kwezwe lakho akunika lona uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuba ulidle.
