15 Vanakomana vevaRevhi vakabva vatakura+ areka yaMwari wechokwadi pamapfudzi avo nematanda aiva pairi,+ sezvakanga zvarayirwa naMosesi maererano neshoko raJehovha.

19 nevaimbi, Hemani,+ Asafi+ naEtani, vaiva nemakwakwakwa emhangura okuti varidze kwazvo;+
20 naZekariya naAzieri+ naShemiramoti naJehieri naUni naEriyabhi naMaaseya naBhenaya, vaiva nezviridzwa zvine tambo zvakagadzirwa kuti zvirire seAramoti,+
21 naMatitiya+ naEriferehu naMikineya naObhedhi-edhomu naJeyieri naAzaziya, vaiva noudimbwa+ hwakagadzirwa kuti hurire seSheminiti,+ kuti vatungamirire;
22 naKenaniya+ mukuru wevaRevhi pakutakura, iye aipa mirayiridzo yokutakura, nokuti aiva nyanzvi;+

26 Mwari wechokwadi paakabatsira+ vaRevhi pavakanga vachitakura areka yesungano yaJehovha, vakabayira nzombe nomwe duku nemakondohwe manomwe.+
27 Dhavhidhi akanga akapfeka jasi risina maoko rejira rakanaka kwazvo, uyewo vaRevhi vose vakanga vakatakura Areka, uye vaimbi naKenaniya+ mukuru wokutakura pamwe chete nevaimbi;+ asi Dhavhidhi akanga aine efodhi+ yerineni.
