The Levites were to be rebuked for succumbing to idolatry, while the priestly sons of Zadok were to be commended and rewarded for remaining clean.
Leviidid said noomida selle eest, et nad olid hakanud kummardama ebajumalaid, kuid Saadoki preestritest pojad said kiita ja ka tasu selle eest, et nad olid jäänud puhtaks.
