I-Eksodusi 36

36 ¹UBhezaleli, u-Oholiyabi nawo wonke umuntu onekhono uBaba wethu amnike ikhono nokuqonda ukuze akhe indlu engcwele, kumele benze wonke umsebenzi ncamashi njengokuyala kukaBaba wethu.

²UMose wabe esebiza uBhezaleli, u-Oholiyabi nawo wonke umuntu onekhono uBaba wethu afake ikhono enhliziyweni yakhe, wonke umuntu onhliziyo yakhe yamshukumisela ukuba eze azokwenza umsebenzi. ³Bathatha kuMose wonke umnikelo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababewulethile wokwakha indlu engcwele. Nokho abantu baqhubeka bemlethela iminikelo yokuzithandela ukusa ngokusa. ⁴Ngakho zonke izisebenzi ezinamakhono ezaziwenza wonke umsebenzi wendlu engcwele zafika, ngamunye evela emsebenzini abewenza. ⁵Zatshela uMose: “Abantu baletha okungaphezu kakhulu kwalokho okudingekayo emsebenzini uBaba wethu asiyale ukuba siwenze.”

Amakhetheni Ayishumi Elineni Negolide

⁸Izisebenzi ezinamakhono zenza itabernakele: amakhetheni ayishumi elineni elicolekileyo eliphothiweyo, intambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, neyibubende, nebomvu, kunamakherubi, umsebenzi womklami onekhono. ⁹Ikhetheni ngalinye lalingamafidi acishe abe ngamashumi amane nambili ubude, amafidi ayisithupha ububanzi—isilinganiso sinye kuwo wonke amakhetheni. ¹⁰Wahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu aba munye, nalawo amahlanu wawahlanganisa aba munye. ¹¹Wenza izihibe eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka onqenqemeni lwekhetheni elingaphandle eqoqweni lokuqala, wenza kanjalo nasonqenqemeni lwekhetheni elingaphandle eqoqweni lwesibili. ¹²Wenza izihibe ezingamashumi amahlanu ekhethenini lokuqala, nezingamashumi amahlanu onqenqemeni lwekhetheni eqoqweni lwesibili, izihibe zibhekene. ¹³Wenza izifasa zegolide ezingamashumi amahlanu, wahlanganisa amakhetheni ngazo, itabernakele laba linye.

¹⁴Wenza amakhetheni oboya bezimbuzi ukuba abe yitende phezu kwetabernakele—amakhetheni ayishumi nanye. ¹⁵Ikhetheni ngalinye lalingamafidi acishe abe ngamashumi amane nanhlanu ubude, amafidi ayisithupha ububanzi; wonke amakhetheni ayishumi nanye alingana ngobukhulu. ¹⁶Wahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu aba munye, nalawo ayisithupha aba munye. ¹⁷Wenza izihibe ezingamashumi amahlanu onqenqemeni lwekhetheni elingaphandle eqoqweni lokuqala, nezihibe ezingamashumi amahlanu onqenqemeni lwekhetheni eqoqweni lwesibili. ¹⁸Wenza izifasa zethusi ezingamashumi amahlanu ukuze ahlanganise itende libe linye. ¹⁹Wenza isembozo setende ngezikhumba zezinqama ezidaywe zaba bomvu, nesembozo sesikhumba esihle ngaphezu kwaso.

²⁰Wabe esenza amapulangwe amile etabernakele ngomuthi womtholo. ²¹Ipulangwe ngalinye lalingamafidi acishe abe yishumi nanhlanu ubude, namayintshi angamashumi amabili nesikhombisa ububanzi. ²²Ipulangwe ngalinye lalinezikhonkwane ezimbili, zihlangene; wenza kanjalo wonke amapulangwe etabernakele. ^a a v22 Isikhonkwane yiphini lomuthi eliphumayo elingaphansi kwepulangwe ngalinye, elingena emgodini wesisekelo sesiliva, libambe ipulangwe lime liqondile. ²³Wenza amapulangwe etabernakele: amapulangwe angamashumi amabili ngaseningizimu. ²⁴Wenza izisekelo zesiliva ezingamashumi amane ngaphansi kwamapulangwe angamashumi amabili: izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulangwe elilodwa ngenxa yezikhonkwane zalo ezimbili, nezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ngenxa yezikhonkwane zalo ezimbili. ²⁵Ngaseceleni lesibili letabernakele, ngasenyakatho, wenza amapulangwe angamashumi amabili, ²⁶nezisekelo zawo zesiliva ezingamashumi amane, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulangwe elilodwa nezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulangwe. ²⁷Ngemuva kwetabernakele, ngasentshonalanga, wenza amapulangwe ayisithupha. ²⁸Wenza amapulangwe amabili ukuba abe ngawamagumbi etabernakele ngemuva. ²⁹Womabili ayephindwe kabili ngezansi, ehlangene aba yindandatho eyodwa ngenhla; wenza kanjalo kuwo womabili, emagumbini omabili. ³⁰Ngakho kwaba khona amapulangwe ayisishiyagalombili nezisekelo zawo zesiliva—izisekelo eziyishumi nesithupha, ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulangwe ngalinye.

³¹Wenza imigoqo yomuthi womtholo: emihlanu yamapulangwe aseceleni elilodwa letabernakele. ³²Imigoqo emihlanu yamapulangwe aseceleni lesibili letabernakele, nemigoqo emihlanu yamapulangwe angemuva, ngasentshonalanga. ³³Wenza umgoqo waphakathi ukuba udabule phakathi kwamapulangwe kusukela komunye umkhawulo kuze kube komunye. ³⁴Wanameka amapulangwe ngegolide, wenza izindandatho zegolide zokubamba imigoqo, wanameka nemigoqo ngegolide.

³⁵Weluka isihenqo ngentambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, neyibubende, nebomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo eliphothiweyo, kunamakherubi elukwe ngobuciko. ³⁶Wasenzela izinsika ezine zomtholo, wazinameka ngegolide, wenza amahuku egolide, wabumba izisekelo ezine zesiliva zazo.

³⁷Wenza isihenqo somnyango wetende, elifekethisiwe ngentambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, neyibubende, nebomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo eliphothiweyo, ³⁸nezinsika zalo ezinhlanu kanye namahuku; wanameka izihloko zazo nezinti ezizixhumayo ngegolide, kodwa izisekelo zazo ezinhlanu zazingezethusi.
