6 umpristi agcobhoze umunwe wakhe egazini, afafaze ngegazi kasikhombisa phambi kukaJehova, ngaphambi kwesihenqo sendlu engcwele.
7 Umpristi abhece igazi ezimpondweni ze-altare lempepho ethaphukayo phambi kukaJehova elisetendeni lokuhlangana; lonke elinye igazi lenkunzi wolithulula ngasesinqeni se-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa elingasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana.
8 Uyakuthabatha onke amanoni enkunzi yomnikelo wesono, amanoni asibekela izibilini nawo onke amanoni aphezu kwezibilini,
9 nezinso zombili namanoni akuzo angasezinkalweni, namanoni aphezu kwesibindi, ewasusa ngasezinsweni,
10 njengalokho kwasuswa kuyo inkunzi yomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, umpristi akushise e-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa.
11 Isikhumba senkunzi, nayo yonke inyama yayo, nenhloko yayo, namanqina ayo, nezibilini zayo, nomswani wayo,
12 yebo, yonke inkunzi uyakuyikhiphela ngaphandle kwekamu,* ayiyise endaweni ehlambulukileyo lapho uthululwa khona umlotha.
13 “ ‘Uma-ke yonke inhlangano yakwa-Israyeli iduka, leyo nto isitheke emehlweni ebandla, benza noma yikuphi kuyo yonke imiyalo uJehova ayale ngakho ukuthi akunakwenziwa, baze babe necala,
14 lapho isono abone ngaso sesaziwe, ibandla liyakunikela ngeduna libe ngumnikelo wesono, lililethe phambi kwetende lokuhlangana.
15 Amalunga enhlangano ayakubeka izandla zawo enhloko yenkunzi phambi kukaJehova, inkunzi ihlatshwe phambi kukaJehova.
16 Umpristi ogcotshiweyo alethe igazi lenkunzi etendeni lokuhlangana.
17 Umpristi uyakugcobhoza umunwe wakhe egazini, afafaze ngalo kasikhombisa phambi kukaJehova phambi kwesihenqo.
18 Uyakulibheca igazi ezimpondweni ze-altare eliphambi kukaJehova, elisetendeni lokuhlangana, athulule lonke elinye igazi ngasesinqeni se-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa elingasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana.
19 Abesethabatha kuyo onke amanoni, awashise e-altare.
20 Makenze njalo ngenkunzi; njengalokho wenza ngenkunzi yomnikelo wesono, makenze njalo nangalena. Umpristi abenzele ukubuyisana, baze bathethelelwe.
21 Uyakuyikhiphela inkunzi ngaphandle kwekamu,* ayishise, njengalokho wayishisa inkunzi yokuqala: lokhu kungumnikelo wesono webandla.
22 “ ‘Nxa kona induna, yenza kungengamabomu noma yikuphi kuyo yonke imiyalo uJehova uNkulunkulu wayo ayale ngakho ukuthi akunakwenziwa, ize ibe necala,
23 uma-ke yaziswa isono sayo eyone ngaso, iyakuletha umnikelo wayo ube yimbuzi, eyeduna elingenasici.
24 Iyakubeka isandla sayo enhloko yembuzi, iyihlabele endaweni lapho behlabela khona iminikelo yokushiswa phambi kukaJehova; kungumnikelo wesono.
25 Umpristi wothabatha igazi lomnikelo wesono ngomunwe wakhe, alibhece ezimpondweni ze-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa, igazi lawo alithulule ngasesinqeni se-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa.
26 Onke amanoni awo uyakuwashisa e-altare njengamanoni omhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, umpristi ayenzele ukubuyisana ngesono sayo, ize ithethelelwe.
27 “ ‘Uma kona umuntukazana, enza kungengamabomu noma yikuphi kuyo imiyalo uJehova ayale ngakho ukuthi akunakwenziwa, aze abe necala,
28 uma aziswa isono sakhe one ngaso, woletha umnikelo wakhe wembuzi, insikazi engenasici, ngesono sakhe one ngaso.
29 Uyakubeka isandla sakhe enhloko yomnikelo wesono, awuhlabe umnikelo wesono endaweni yomnikelo wokushiswa.
