| 29 ܘܠܠܚܡܐ ܕܣܕܪ̈ܐ ܘܠܢܫܝܦܐ ܘܠܟܡ̈ܝܣܐ ܦܛܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܠܟܠ ܕܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܘܡܘܕܝܢ | 29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size; |

| 32 ܢܗܘܘܢ ܢ̇ܛܪܝܢ ܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܢ̇ܛܪܝܢ ܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܗܪܘܢ ܐܚܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܫܡܫܘ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD. |
