7 ¹"Lona ngumthetho womnikelo wecala. Ungcwelengcwele. ²Lapho behlaba khona umnikelo wokushiswa, kufanele bahlabe khona umnikelo wecala; bafafaze igazi lawo emaceleni onke e-altare. ³Wonke amanoni awo ayanikelwa: umsila onamanoni kanye namanoni amboza izitho zangaphakathi, ⁴izinso zombili namanoni azo asezinkalweni, nomhlehlo omude wesibindi, osuswa kanye nezinso. ⁵Umpristi uyakuwashisa e-altare kube umnikelo wokudla kuBaba wethu; kungumnikelo wecala. ⁶Wonke umpristi ongowesilisa angawudla, udliwa endaweni engcwele kuphela; ungcwelengcwele.

⁷"Umnikelo wesono nomnikelo wecala kunomthetho munye: kungokompristi owenza inhlawulo yokubuyisana ngawo. ⁸Umpristi onikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa womuntu uzigcinela isikhumba sawo. ⁹Wonke umnikelo wokusanhlamvu owosiwe eziko, nawo wonke owenziwe ebhodweni noma esithebeni sokosa, ungowompristi onikela ngawo. ¹⁰Wonke umnikelo wokusanhlamvu, oxutshwe namafutha noma owomile, ungowamadodana ka-Aroni onke ngokulinganayo.

Umthetho Womnikelo Wokuthula

¹¹"Lona ngumthetho womhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula okungalethwa yinoma ngubani kuBaba wethu. ¹²Uma ewunikela njengomnikelo wokubonga, kufanele kanye nawo anikele ngamaqebelengwane angenamvubelo axutshwe namafutha, nezinkwana ezizacile ezingenamvubelo ezigcotshwe amafutha, namaqebelengwane empuphu ecolekileyo exovwe kahle axutshwe namafutha. ¹³Kufanele alethe izinkwa ezinemvubelo kanye nomhlatshelo wakhe wokubonga weminikelo yokuthula. ¹⁴Kuwo kufanele anikele ngokukodwa kokunye njengomnikelo okhethiweyo kuBaba wethu; kungokompristi ofafaza igazi leminikelo yokuthula. ¹⁵Inyama yeminikelo yakhe yokuthula yokubonga kufanele idliwe ngalo lolo suku enikelwa ngalo; makungasali lutho kuyo kuze kuse.

¹⁶"Uma umnikelo wakhe uyisifungo noma umhlatshelo wokuzithandela, kufanele udliwe ngalo lolo suku anikela ngalo; okusalayo kungadliwa ngakusasa. ¹⁷Kodwa yonke inyama yomhlatshelo esele ngosuku lwesithathu kufanele ishiswe ngomlilo. ¹⁸Uma kudliwa enye inyama yomnikelo wakhe wokuthula ngosuku lwesithathu, ngeke yamukeleke, ngeke ibalelwe lowo onikelayo—yonakele, nalowo oyidlayo uyakuthwala icala lakhe.

¹⁹"Inyama ethinta noma yini engcolileyo akufanele idliwe—yishise leyo nyama ngomlilo. Kodwa enye inyama: wonke ohlanzekileyo angayidla. ²⁰Wonke odla inyama yomnikelo wokuthula kaBaba wethu engcolile uyakunqunywa asuswe kubantu bakubo. ^a a v20 Ukuba 'unqunywe ususwe kubantu' kwakusho ukukhishwa emphakathini wesivumelwano wakwa-Israyeli, mhlawumbe ngokwahlulela kwaphezulu noma ngesenzo somphakathi. ²¹Lowo othinta noma yini engcolileyo—ukungcola komuntu, isilwane esingcolileyo, noma noma yini engcolileyo enengekayo—abesedla inyama yomnikelo wokuthula kaBaba wethu, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa asuswe kubantu bakubo."

²²UBaba wethu wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

²³"Tshela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli: Ningadli namanoni enkomo, awemvu, noma awembuzi. ²⁴Amanoni esidumbu noma awesilwane esidwengulwe yisilwane esizingelayo angasetshenziselwa noma yini, kodwa ningalokothi niwadle. ²⁵Wonke odla amanoni esilwane esinikelwe kimi ngomlilo uyakunqunywa asuswe kubantu bakubo. ²⁶Akufanele nidle igazi nhlobo, elenyoni noma elesilwane, nomangabe nihlalaphi. ²⁷Wonke odla igazi uyakunqunywa asuswe kubantu bakubo."

Isabelo Sabapristi

²⁸UBaba wethu wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

²⁹"Khuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: Lowo onikela umnikelo wakhe wokuthula kimi kufanele alethe umnikelo wakhe kimi kuwo lowo mhlatshelo. ³⁰Ngezandla zakhe kufanele alethe iminikelo yami yokudla; amanoni kanye nesifuba kufanele akulethe, ukuze azulazulise isifuba njengomnikelo wokuzuliswa phambi kwami. ³¹Umpristi uyakushisa amanoni e-altare; isifuba singesika-Aroni namadodana akhe. ³²Niyakunika umpristi ithanga lesokunene njengomnikelo okhethiweyo ophuma eminikelweni yenu yokuthula. ³³Noma yiliphi indodana ka-Aroni enikela ngegazi namanoni omnikelo wokuthula iyakuthola ithanga lesokunene njengesabelo sayo. ³⁴Ngokuba ngithathile isifuba somnikelo wokuzuliswa nethanga lomnikelo okhethiweyo eminikelweni yokuthula yakwa-Israyeli, ngakunika u-Aroni umpristi namadodana akhe njengesabelo saphakade esivela kwa-Israyeli."

³⁵Lesi yisabelo sika-Aroni namadodana akhe esivela eminikelweni yokudla kaBaba wethu, kusukela ngosuku abethulwa ngalo ukuba bakhonze uBaba wethu njengabapristi. ³⁶UBaba wethu wayala ukuba lokhu kunikwe bona kuvela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngosuku abagcoba ngalo—isabelo saphakade kuzo zonke izizukulwane zabo. ³⁷Lona ngumthetho weminikelo yokushiswa, neminikelo yokusanhlamvu, neminikelo yesono, neminikelo yecala, neminikelo yokumiswa kobupristi, neminikelo yokuthula, ³⁸uBaba wethu awuyala ngawo uMose entabeni iSinayi, ngosuku ayala ngalo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba balethe iminikelo yabo kuBaba wethu ehlane laseSinayi.
