1 UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
2 “Uma umuntu ona, enze isiphambeko kuJehova, akhohlise umakhelwane wakhe ngento ebekiweyo, noma isibambiso noma into ephangiweyo, noma ecindezela umakhelwane wakhe,
3 noma, lapho ethola into elahlekileyo, eyiphika, afunge amanga, noma yikuphi kukho konke lokhu umuntu akwenzayo one ngakho,
4 khona kuyakuthi, uma onile aze abe necala, uyakukubuyisa lokho okuphangiweyo, noma lokho akudlileyo, noma lokho okwakubekwe kuye, noma lokho okwakulahlekile akutholayo,
5 noma yikuphi afungile amanga ngakho; makakubuyise, athasisele okwesihlanu kukho, amnike lowo okungokwakhe ngosuku lomnikelo wakhe wecala.
6 Woletha umnikelo wakhe wecala kuJehova, inqama engenasici yasemhlambini ngokulinganisa kwakho, ibe ngumnikelo wecala, iyiswe kumpristi,
7 umpristi amenzele ukubuyisana phambi kukaJehova, aze athethelelwe konke angahle abe ekwenzile anecala ngakho.”
8 UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
9 “Yala u-Aroni namadodana akhe, uthi: ‘Nanku umthetho weminikelo yokushiswa: umnikelo wokushiswa uyakuhlala eziko le-altare ubusuku bonke kuze kuse, umlilo we-altare uhlale kulo uvutha njalo.
10 Umpristi uyakwembatha isambatho selineni, afake nebhulukwe lakhe lelineni emzimbeni wakhe, asuse umlotha womlilo oshise umnikelo wokushiswa e-altare, awuthele ngaseceleni kwe-altare.
11 Abesekhumula izambatho zakhe, embathe ezinye izambatho, akhiphele umlotha ngaphandle kwekamu* endaweni ehlambulukileyo.
12 Umlilo ophezu kwe-altare uyakuhlala kulo uvutha njalo, ungacimi; umpristi uyakubasa izinkuni kulo ekuseni njalo, ahlele kulo umnikelo wokushiswa, ashise kulo amanoni eminikelo yokuthula.
13 Umlilo wohlala e-altare uvutha njalo, ungacimi.
14 “ ‘Nanku umthetho weminikelo yempuphu: amadodana ka-Aroni ayakunikela ngawo phambi kukaJehova ngaphambi kwe-altare.
15 Makucashunwe kuwo ngokhweshe impuphu ecolekileyo yomnikelo wempuphu namafutha awo, nayo yonke inhlaka ephezu komnikelo wempuphu, akushise e-altare kube yisikhumbuzo sawo, kube yiphunga elimnandi kuJehova.
16 Okuseleyo kuwo kuyakudliwa ngu-Aroni namadodana akhe, kudliwe ngaphandle kwemvubelo endaweni engcwele, bakudlele egcekeni letende lokuhlangana.
17 Akuyikuphekwa ngemvubelo. Ngikunike kube yisabelo sabo seminikelo yami yomlilo; kungcwelengcwele njengomnikelo wesono nanjengomnikelo wecala.
18 Bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabantwana baka-Aroni bayakukudla kube yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu seminikelo yomlilo kaJehova; konke okukuthintayo kuyakuba ngcwele.’ ”
19 UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
20 “Nanku umnikelo ka-Aroni nowamadodana akhe abayakunikela ngawo kuJehova mhla begcotshwa: okweshumi kwe-efa* lempuphu ecolekileyo kube ngumnikelo wempuphu njalonjalo, inxenye yakho ekuseni nenxenye yakho kusihlwa.
21 Uyakwenziwa emqengeleni ngamafutha; usuxutshanisiwe wowungenisa, unikele ngomnikelo wempuphu, ube yizingcezu ezihleshuliweyo, zibe yiphunga elimnandi kuJehova.
22 Umpristi ogcotshiweyo esikhundleni sakhe phakathi kwamadodana akhe wonikela ngawo, kube yisimiso esiphakade; woshiswa wonke.
23 Yonke iminikelo yempuphu yompristi yoshiswa yonke, ingadliwa.”
24 UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
25 “Yisho ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe, uthi: ‘Nanku umthetho weminikelo yesono; endaweni ohlatshelwe kuyo umnikelo wokushiswa, mawuhlatshelwe khona umnikelo wesono phambi kukaJehova; ungcwelengcwele.
26 Umpristi onikela ngawo ngesono wowudla, udliwe endaweni engcwele egcekeni letende lokuhlangana.
27 Konke okuyakuthinta inyama yawo kuyakuba ngcwele; nxa ingubo ifafazwa ngegazi lawo, lapho kufafazwe khona uyakukugeza endaweni engcwele.
28 Kepha isitsha sebumba okuphekelwe kuso masaphulwe, kodwa uma kuphekelwa esitsheni sethusi, siyakuphucuzwa, sihashazwe ngamanzi.
29 Bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabapristi bayakuwudla; ungcwelengcwele.
30 Kepha makungadliwa mnikelo wesono okwangeniswa igazi lawo etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba kwenziwe ukubuyisana endaweni engcwele; woshiswa ngomlilo.
