13"Noma yimuphi umuntu wakwa-Israyeli noma owezizwe ophakathi kwabo ozingela isilwane noma inyoni edliwayo, kumele achithe igazi laso aligqibe ngothuli. 14Ukuphila kwayo yonke into ephilayo kusegazini layo. Ngakho ngatshela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngathi: Ningadli igazi lanoma yiyiphi into ephilayo, ngokuba ukuphila kwayo kuyigazi layo—osidlayo uyonqunywa.
15"Noma ubani, owomdabu noma owezizwe, odla isidumbu noma isilwane esidatshulwe yizilwane, kumele awashe izingubo zakhe, ageze emanzini, ahlale engcolile kuze kuhlwe, bese ehlanzeka. 16Kodwa uma engazigezi noma engawugezi umzimba wakhe, uyothwala icala lakhe."
