24 Lonke igolide elasetshenziswa kuwo wonke umsebenzi wendawo engcwele lalilingana negolide lomnikelo ozuliswayo, + amathalenta* angu-29 namashekeli* angu-730 ngeshekeli elivamile lendawo engcwele.*
25 Isiliva lalabo ababhalisiwe benhlangano lalingamathalenta angu-100 namashekeli angu-1 775 ngeshekeli elivamile lendawo engcwele.*
26 Uhhafu weshekeli womuntu ngamunye wawunguhhafu weshekeli ngeshekeli elivamile lendawo engcwele,* bonke ababephakathi kwalabo ababebhalisiwe kusukela eminyakeni engu-20 ubudala kuya phezulu, + baba ngu-603 550. +
27 Ukubunjwa kwezisekelo ezinezimbobo zendawo engcwele nezisekelo ezinezimbobo zekhethini kwaba amathalenta angu-100; izisekelo ezingu-100 ezinezimbobo zazilingana namathalenta angu-100, ithalenta elilodwa esisekelweni ngasinye esinembobo. +
28 Ngamashekeli angu-1 775, wenza amahhuku ezinsika wanameka ingxenye ephezulu yazo wakuhlanganisa ndawonye.
