15Now I assembledH6908 them at 1the riverH5104 that runsH935 to AhavaH163, whereH8033 we campedH2583 for threeH7969 daysH3117; and when I paidH995 closeH995 attentionH995 to the peopleH5971 and the priestsH3548, I 2did not findH4672 anyH4480 LevitesH1121H3881 thereH8033.

16So I sentH7971 for EliezerH461, ArielH739, ShemaiahH8098, ElnathanH494, JaribH3402, ElnathanH494, NathanH5416, ZechariahH2148, and MeshullamH4918, 3leadingH7218 menH7218, and for JoiaribH3080 and ElnathanH494, teachersH995.
