12 1UBaba wethu wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
2“Tshela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli: lapho owesifazane ekhulelwa abeletha indodana, uyangcola izinsuku eziyisikhombisa—angcole njengasezinsukwini zakhe zokuya esikhathini. 3Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili inyama yejwabu lakhe iyakusokwa. 4Izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu nantathu uyakuhlala egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe. Akayikuthinta lutho olungcwele noma angene endaweni engcwele, kuze kuphele izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe. 5Uma ebeletha indodakazi, uyangcola amaviki amabili, njengasezinsukwini zakhe zokuya esikhathini, aqhubeke izinsuku ezingamashumi ayisithupha nesithupha egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
6“Lapho seziphelile izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngenxa yendodana noma yendodakazi, uyakuletha kumpristi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana iwundlu elinonyaka omunye libe umnikelo wokushiswa, nephuphu lejuba noma ihobhe libe umnikelo wesono. 7Uyakulinikela phambi kukaBaba wethu amenzele ihlawulo; uyakuhlambuluka ekugobhozeni kwegazi lakhe. Lona ngumthetho wowesifazane obeletha, indodana noma indodakazi.
8“Uma engenamandla okuthola iwundlu, angathatha amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili ejuba—elinye libe umnikelo wokushiswa, elinye libe umnikelo wesono. Umpristi uyakumenzela ihlawulo, abe ngohlanzekile.” a a v8 Lapho umndeni ungenawo amandla okuthola iwundlu, uBaba wethu wavulela abampofu indawo ngalesi sipho esincinyane — futhi yilo kanye umnikelo uMariya awuletha lapho ethula uJesu ethempelini.
