INUMERI 17
Ukuntshula kwentonga ka-Aron
1Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi, 2Thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthabathe kubo iintonga: intonga ngokwendlu yooyise, kwiinkulu zabo zonke ngokwezindlu zooyise, iintonga ezilishumi elinambini, ubhale igama lalowo nalowo entongeni yakhe.
3Wòbhala igama lika-Aron entongeni yakwaLevi; kuba yoba nye intonga yentloko yendlu yooyise. 4Uze uzibeke ententeni yokuhlangana phambi kwesingqino, apho ndihlangana nani khona. 5Kothi indoda endinyule yona, intonga yayo idubule; ndikuphelise phambi kwam ukukrokra koonyana bakaSirayeli, ababenikrokrela ngako.
6Wathetha ke uMoses koonyana bakaSirayeli; zonke iinkulu zabo zamnika iintonga nganye, intonga yanye kwinkulu, ngokwezindlu zooyise, zalishumi elinambini iintonga. Intonga ka-Aron yabe iphakathi kweentonga zazo. 7Wazibeka uMoses iintonga phambi koYehova, ententeni yesingqino. 8Kwathi ngengomso, wangena uMoses ententeni yesingqino; nantso intonga ka-Aron, wendlu kaLevi, idubule yaphuma amathupha, yatyatyamba iintyantyambo, zavuthwa iiamangile.• 9Waphuma uMoses neentonga zonke, evela kuYehova, weza nazo koonyana bonke bakaSirayeli. Bakhangela, bathabatha elowo intonga yakhe. 10Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yibuyisele intonga ka-Aron phambi kwesingqino igcinwe, ukuba ibe ngumqondiso kwabaneenkani, ukuphelise ukukrokra kwabo phambi kwam, bangafi. 11Wenza ke uMoses; njengoko uYehova abemwisele umthetho, wenjenjalo.
12Bathetha oonyana bakaSirayeli kuMoses, bathi, Yabona, siyabhubha, siyaphela, siyaphela sonke. 13Bonke abasondelayo, abasondela emnqubeni kaYehova, baya kufa. Siya kubhubha sigqibele na?
