Yilokho ayala ngakho uJehova ngamadodakazi kaSelofehadi , ethi: Mawagane njengokuhle emehlweni awo , kodwa agane nokho emndenini wesizwe sikayise.

Yileyo naleyo ndodakazi enefa esizweni esithile sabantwana bakwa -Israyeli iyakuba ngumfazi womndeni wesizwe sikayise , ukuze yilowo nalowo wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abe nefa lawoyise.

Bathi kuye: Thula, ubeke isandla sakho emlonyeni wakho , uhambe nathi, ube ngubaba nompristi wethu ; kuhle yini ukuba ube ngumpristi wendlu yomuntu munye kunokuba ube ngumpristi wesizwe nomndeni kwa -Israyeli na?

Wayeyindodana yomfelokazi wesizwe sakwaNafetali ; uyise wayengumuntu ogcwele ukuhlakanipha, nengqondo, nokwazi ukwenza yonke imisebenzi yethusi. Wafika enkosini uSolomoni, wasebenza wonke umsebenzi wayo.

Amadodana aseleyo kaKohati anikwa ngenkatho emndenini wesizwe , enxenyeni yesizwe, inxenye kaManase, imizi eyishumi,

Kusukela lapho bacela inkosi ; uNkulunkulu wabanika uSawule indodana kaKisi, umuntu wesizwe sakwaBenjamini, iminyaka engamashumi amane.

UPawulu wayesethi: Bengingazi, bazalwane, ukuthi ungumpristi omkhulu ; ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ungakhulumi kabi ngombusi wesizwe sakini.

Ngalokho ngithi : UNkulunkulu usilahlile isizwe sakhe na ? Qha nakanye , ngokuba nami ngingumIsrayeli , wenzalo ka -Abrahama, wesizwe sakwaBenjamini.
