“ Then the Levites will shout to all the people of Israel:

利未人要向以色列众人高声说：

利未人要大声对以色列众人说：

利未人要大声对以色列众人说：

利未人要对所有以色列人高声说，

利未人要向以色列众人大声说：

利未人要向以色列眾人高聲說：

利未人要大聲對以色列眾人說：

利未人要大聲對以色列眾人說：

利未人要對所有以色列人高聲說，

利未人要向以色列眾人大聲說：

利未人要向以色列眾人高聲應對地說：

利未人當大聲以向以色列民曰、

利未人必厲聲告以色列族曰、

利未人當向以色列民眾大聲宣告曰、

The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:

The Levites will speak to all the Israelites in a loud voice. The Levites will say,

And the Levites shall declare to all the men of Israel in a loud voice:

The Levites will proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite:

The Levites shall then respond and say to all the people of Israel with a loud voice,

“ And the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Israel:

And the Levites shall answer, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

The Levites will proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite:

And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

“ The Levites will call out to every Israelite with a loud voice:

With a loud voice, the Levites shall say to all the men of Israel,

All Israel has disobeyed your instruction and turned away, refusing to listen to your voice.“ So now the solemn curses and judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured down on us because of our sin.

Then all the Israelites— foreigners and native born alike— along with the elders, officers, and judges, were divided into two groups. One group stood in front of Mount Gerizim, the other in front of Mount Ebal. Each group faced the other, and between them stood the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant. This was all done according to the commands that Moses, the servant of the Lord, had previously given for blessing the people of Israel.

“ The words of a priest’s lips should preserve knowledge of God, and people should go to him for instruction, for the priest is the messenger of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.But you priests have left God’s paths. Your instructions have caused many to stumble into sin. You have corrupted the covenant I made with the Levites,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ So I have made you despised and humiliated in the eyes of all the people. For you have not obeyed me but have shown favoritism in the way you carry out my instructions.”

The Levites obeyed your word and guarded your covenant. They were more loyal to you than to their own parents. They ignored their relatives and did not acknowledge their own children.They teach your regulations to Jacob; they give your instructions to Israel. They present incense before you and offer whole burnt offerings on the altar.

The Levites— Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah— then instructed the people in the Law while everyone remained in their places.They read from the Book of the Law of God and clearly explained the meaning of what was being read, helping the people understand each passage.
