23. Ngoko ke sazila sakhunga kuThixo wethu ngalo mbandela, waza wawuphendula umthandazo wethu.
24. Ndamisela ababingeleli abaphambili abalishumi elinambini, inguSherebhiya noHashabhiya neshumi kubantakwabo.
25. Ndabalinganisela umnikelo wesiliva negolide nezo zinto zazinikelwe ngukumkani, abacebisi bakhe, amaphakathi akhe, naye wonke umSirayeli owayekhona, benikelela indlu kaThixo wethu.
26. Nanku ke umlinganiso wezinto endabanika zona:Isiliva: ama-22 eetoni;izitya zesiliva ezili-100: ama-70 eekhilogram;igolide: ama-3 400 eekhilogram;
27. iindebe zegolide ezingama-20: isi-8 esinesiqingatha seekhilogram;iindebe zobhedu ezi-2: zazilingana neendebe zegolide ngexabiso.
28. Ndathi kubo: “Nina ke ningcwalisekile *kuNdikhoyo; zikwanjalo nezi zitya. Isiliva negolide zinikezelwe kuNdikhoyo uThixo wooyihlo zingumnikelo wokuqhutywa yintliziyo.
29. Ngoko ke zigcineni ngenyameko nide nizifake emlinganisweni kumagumbi endlu kaNdikhoyo eJerusalem phambi kwababingeleli abaziinkokheli nabaLevi neenkulu zezindlu zakwaSirayeli.”
30. Ababingeleli nabaLevi ke bayamkela isiliva negolide nezitya ezingcwele ezazifakwe emlinganisweni ziza kusiwa endlwini kaThixo eJerusalem.
31. Ke kaloku ngomhla weshumi elinambini kwinyanga yokuqala sanduluka kumlambo waseAhava, sasinga eJerusalem. Isandla sikaThixo wethu saba phezu kwethu, wasikhusela ezintshabeni zethu nakwizikrelemnqa zendlela.
32. Saya kufika eJerusalem, saza ke saphumla iintsuku zantathu.
33. Ke kaloku ngosuku lwesine sayilinganisa isiliva negolide nezinto ezingcwele, sazinikela kuMeremoti unyana kaUriya umbingeleli endlwini kaThixo wethu. UElazare unyana kaPineyasi wayekunye naye, ngokunjalo naba baLevi: uYozabhadi unyana kaYeshuwa noNowadiya unyana kaBhinuwi.
