Umnikelo Wokushiswa

⁸Khona-ke uBaba wethu wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

⁹“Yala u-Aroni namadodana akhe, uthi: Lona ngumthetho womnikelo wokushiswa. Umnikelo uyakuhlala eziko lelathi ubusuku bonke kuze kuse, umlilo welathi uqhubeke uvutha kuwo. ¹⁰Umpristi uyakugqoka ingubo yakhe yelineni, agqoke nezangaphansi zelineni emzimbeni wakhe, bese ekhipha umlotha osele lapho umlilo usuqede umnikelo wokushiswa elathini, awubeke eceleni kwelathi. ¹¹Bese ekhumula izingubo zakhe, agqoke ezinye, athwale umlotha awuyise ngaphandle kwekamu endaweni ehlanzekile. ¹²Umlilo welathi umelwe ukuqhubeka uvutha; akumelwe ucime. Njalo ekuseni umpristi uyakwengeza izinkuni kuwo, ahlele umnikelo wokushiswa phezu kwawo, ashise amanoni eminikelo yokuthula phezu kwawo. ¹³Umlilo umelwe ukugcinwa uvutha elathini njalonjalo; akumelwe ucime.

Umnikelo Wempuphu

¹⁴“Lona ngumthetho womnikelo wempuphu: amadodana ka-Aroni ayakuwuletha phambi kukaBaba wenu, ngaphambi kwelathi. ¹⁵Umpristi uyakucupha ngesandla empupheni ecolekileyo yomnikelo nasemafutheni, kanye nayo yonke inhlaka yawo, ashise le ngxenye yesikhumbuzo elathini ibe iphunga elimnandi kuBaba wenu. ¹⁶U-Aroni namadodana akhe bayakudla okuseleyo; kuyakudliwa kungenamvubelo endaweni engcwele, kudliwe egcekeni letende lokuhlangana. ¹⁷Ningakubhaki nemvubelo. Ngikunikile njengesabelo sabo seminikelo yami yokudla, njengomnikelo wesono nowecala; kungcwele kakhulu. ¹⁸Bonke abesilisa benzalo ka-Aroni bangakudla—kuyisabelo esimi njalo ezizukulwaneni zenu, esivela eminikelweni yokudla kaBaba wenu. Noma yini ethinta yona iyakuba ngcwele.”
