17 Ungekudle ngaphakathi kwamasango akho okweshumi kwamabele akho, noma okwewayini lakho, noma okwamafutha akho, noma okwamazibulo ezinkomo zakho, noma awezimvu zakho, noma izithembiso zakho ozenzayo, noma iminikelo yakho yesihle, noma umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesandla sakho,
18 kepha ukudle phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kuleyo ndawo ayakuyikhetha uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, wena nendodana yakho, nendodakazi yakho, nenceku yakho, nencekukazi yakho, nomLevi ophakathi kwamasango akho, wename phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kukho konke obeka kukho isandla sakho.

20 “Lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eyakwandisa umkhawulo wakho njengokukwethembisa kwakhe, uze uthi: ‘Ngiyakudla inyama,’ lokhu umphefumulo wakho ufisa ukudla inyama, ungayidla inyama njengesifiso sonke somphefumulo wakho.
21 Uma indawo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakuyikhetha ukuba abeke kuyo igama lakhe ikude nawe, uyakuhlaba emhlambini wakho nasezimvini zakho akunike khona uJehova, njengalokho ngakuyala, udle phakathi kwamasango akho njengesifiso somphefumulo wakho.
22 Njengalokhu kudliwa insephe nendluzele, uyakukudla kanjalo; ongcolileyo nohlambulukileyo bayakudla ngokufananayo.
23 Qaphela kuphela ukuba ungalidli igazi, ngokuba igazi lingumphefumulo; awuyikuwudla umphefumulo kanye nenyama.
