5“Thabatha umgubo ocoliweyo, wose izonka ezilishumi elinazibini, isonka ngasinye sibe ngumgubo ongangesahlulo sesibini seshumi. 6Wozicwangcisa zibe mikrozo mibini, zibe ntandathu kumkrozo omnye, etafileni ecocekileyo phambi kwam. 7Wobeka intlaka emhlophe ecocekileyo kulo lonke ukrozo, ibe sisikhumbuzo sesonka, ukudla kwasemlilweni kum. 8Ngesabatha nganye woyilungisa phambi kwam ngamaxesha onke, ivela koonyana bakaSirayeli; ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade. 9Yoba yekaAron neyoonyana bakhe, abaya kuyidla endaweni engcwele; kuba iyingcwele kangcwele kuye ekudleni kwam kwasemlilweni, isabelo sabo esingunaphakade.”
