13 For because H3588 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS did it not H3808 NADV at the first H7223 , the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 made a breach H6555 VQQ3MS upon us , for H3588 CONJ that we sought H1875 him not H3808 NADV after the due order H4941 .

15 And the children H1121 of the Levites H3881 bore H5375 W-VQY3MP the ark H727 of God H430 D-NAME-4MP upon their shoulders H3802 with the staves H4133 thereon H5921 PREP-3MP , as H834 K-RPRO Moses H4872 commanded H6680 VPQ3MS according to the word H1697 K-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS .
