₈Wawenza umcengezi wethusi nesinqe sawo ngethusi lezibuko zabesifazane abahlangana ukuyokhonza ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana.

₉Walenza negceke; ngaseningizimu ohlangothini lwaseningizimu izilenge zegceke zaziyilineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo, izingalo eziyikhulu. ₁₀Izinsika zazo zazingamashumi amabili, nezinyawo zazo zazingamashumi amabili zethusi; izingwegwe zezinsika nezibopho zazo zaziyisiliva. ₁₁Ngasohlangothini lwasenyakatho yizingalo eziyikhulu, izinsika zazo zingamashumi amabili, nezinyawo zazo zingamashumi amabili zethusi; izingwegwe zezinsika nemishayo yazo kwakuyisiliva.

₁₂Ngasohlangothini olungasentshonalanga izilenge zaziyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, izinsika zazo zaziyishumi, nezinyawo zazo zaziyishumi; izingwegwe zezinsika nemishayo yazo kwakuyisiliva. ₁₃Nangasempumalanga ngasohlangothini olungasempumalanga yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu. ₁₄Izilenge kwelinye icele lesango zaziyizingalo eziyishumi nanhlanu; izinsika zazo zazintathu, nezinyawo zazo zazintathu. ₁₅Kwaba njalo nakwelinye icele: ngalapha nangalapha kwesango legceke zazikhona izilenge eziyizingalo eziyishumi nanhlanu; izinsika zazo zazintathu, nezinyawo zazo zazintathu. ₁₆Zonke izilenge zegceke nxazonke zazingezelineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo. ₁₇Izinyawo zezinsika zaziyithusi, izingwegwe zezinsika nemishayo yazo kwakuyisiliva; izihloko zazo zazinamekwe ngesiliva; zonke izinsika zegceke zazinesibopho sesiliva.

₁₈Iveli lesango legceke lalingumsebenzi womfekethisi ngokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo; ubude balo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nokuphakama ngokobubanzi bezilenge kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu ngokulingene nezilenge zegceke. ₁₉Izinsika zalo zazizine, nezinyawo zalo zazizine zethusi; izingwegwe zaziyisiliva, ukunamekwa kwezihloko nokwezibopho kwakuyisiliva. ₂₀Zonke izikhonkwane zetabernakele* nezegceke nxasonke zaziyithusi.

₂₁Lokhu kuyimali yetabernakele,* itabernakele lobufakazi, njengokubalwa kwayo ngesiyalezo sikaMose, ngokubala kwamaLevi ngesandla sika-Itamari indodana ka-Aroni umpristi. ₂₂UBesaleli indodana ka-Uri kaHure, owesizwe sakwaJuda, wakwenza konke uJehova amyale ngakho uMose. ₂₃Wayeno-Oholiyabe indodana ka-Ahisamaki, owesizwe sakwaDani, umqophi nengcweti nomfekethisi ngokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo. ₂₄Lonke igolide okwasetshenzwa ngalo, wonke umsebenzi wendlu engcwele, igolide lomnikelo lalingamatalenta* angamashumi amabili nesishiyagalolunye namashekeli* angamakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amathathu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele.

₂₅Isiliva lababebalwa esizweni lalingamatalenta* ayikhulu namashekeli* ayinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, ₂₆kwaba yilowo nalowo wanikela ngebeka* eliyinxenye yeshekeli* ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele kubo bonke abadlulela kwababaliweyo abaneminyaka engamashumi amabili nangaphezulu, abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha nantathu namakhulu ayisihlanu namashumi ayisihlanu. ₂₇Amatalenta* ayikhulu esiliva ayengawokukhanda izinyawo zendlu engcwele, nezinyawo zesihenqo, izinyawo eziyikhulu ngamatalenta ayikhulu, italenta ngonyawo. ₂₈Ngamashekeli* ayinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu wenza izingwegwe zezinsika, wanameka izihloko zazo, wazenzela izibopho.

₂₉Ithusi lomnikelo laba ngamatalenta* angamashumi ayisikhombisa namashekeli* ayizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amane. ₃₀Wenza ngalo izinyawo zomnyango wetende lokuhlangana, ne-altare lethusi, nehele lalo lethusi, nezinto zonke ze-altare, ₃₁nezinyawo zegceke nxazonke, nezinyawo zesango legceke, nazo zonke izikhonkwane zetabernakele, nazo zonke izikhonkwane zegceke nxazonke.
