₁“Sondeza kuwe u-Aroni umfowenu namadodana akhe phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi, o-Aroni, noNadabi, no-Abihu, no-Eleyazare, no-Itamari, amadodana ka-Aroni. ₂Umenzele u-Aroni umfowenu izambatho ezingcwele, ezobukhosi nezokuhlobisa. ₃Wokhuluma kubo bonke abahlakaniphile ngenhliziyo engibagcwalisile ngomoya wokuhlakanipha ukuba bazenze izambatho zika-Aroni zokumngcwelisa, ukuze angikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi. ₄Yilezi izambatho abayakuzenza: isihlangu sesifuba, nengubo yamahlombe, nejazi, nebhantshi elifekethisiweyo, nesigqoko, nebhande,* bamenzele u-Aroni umfowenu namadodana akhe izambatho ezingcwele ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi. ₅Makathathe igolide, nokuluhlaza nokububende nokubomvu, nelineni elicolekileyo.

₆“Bayakwenza ingubo yamahlombe ngegolide, nangokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo, kube ngumsebenzi wengcweti. ₇Iyakuba neziziba ezimbili zasemahlombe, zihlangene emaceleni ayo omabili, ukuba ihlanganiswe. ₈Ibhande* elalukiweyo elikuyo lokuyikhwica liyakuba njengomsebenzi wayo, libe kunye nayo, ngegolide, nangokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo.

₉“Wothatha amatshe amabili amashohamu,* uqophe kuwo amagama abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ₁₀amagama ayisithupha abo kwelinye itshe namagama abayisithupha abaseleyo kwelinye itshe njengokuzalwa kwabo. ₁₁Ngomsebenzi womqophi ematsheni, njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho, woqopha amatshe omabili njengokwamagama abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uwafake azungezwe yizisekelo zegolide. ₁₂Wobeka amatshe omabili ezizibeni zombili zengubo yamahlombe, abe ngamatshe esikhumbuzo sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; u-Aroni uyakuphatha amagama abo emahlombe akhe omabili phambi kukaJehova kube yisikhumbuzo. ₁₃Wozenza izisekelo zegolide, ₁₄namaketanga amabili egolide elicwengekileyo, uwenze abe njengamagoda, umsebenzi othandelweyo ezisekelweni.

₁₅“Uyakwenza isihlangu sesifuba sokwahlulela, kube ngumsebenzi wengcweti, usenze njengokusetshenzwa kwengubo yamahlombe ngegolide, nangokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu, nangelineni elicolekileyo lemicu ephothiweyo. ₁₆Masibe nezinhlangothi ezine ezilingeneyo, siphindwe kabili; ubude baso bube njengokudazuluka kweminwe, nobubanzi baso bube njengokudazuluka kweminwe. ₁₇Ufake kuso izisekelo zamatshe, kube yizinhla ezine zamatshe: uhla lwesardiyu,* netopazi,* nerubi,* lube luhla lokuqala; ₁₈uhla lwesibili lube yisimaragidu,* nesafire,* nedayimani;* ₁₉uhla lwesithathu lube yihiyakinte,* ne-agathe,* ne-amethiste;* ₂₀uhla lwesine lube yikrisolithe,* neshohamu,* nejaspi;* azungezwe ngegolide ezisekelweni zawo. ₂₁Amatshe ayakuba njengamagama abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abe yishumi nambili njengamagama abo; njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho yilelo nalelo liyakuba negama lesinye sezizwe eziyishumi nambili.

₂₂“Wenze kuso isihlangu sesifuba amaketanga njengamagoda, umsebenzi othandelweyo wegolide elicwengekileyo. ₂₃Wenze kuso isihlangu sesifuba amasongo amabili egolide, uwafake amasongo omabili emaceleni omabili esihlangu sesifuba. ₂₄Wowafaka amaketanga omabili athandelweyo ngegolide emasongweni omabili emaceleni esihlangu sesifuba. ₂₅Ezinye izihloko ezimbili zamaketanga athandelweyo wozifaka ezisekelweni zombili, uzibeke ngaphambili ezizibeni zengubo yamahlombe. ₂₆Uyakuwenza amasongo amabili egolide, uwafake emaceleni omabili esihlangu sesifuba, eceleni laso elibhekene nengubo yamahlombe ngaphakathi. ₂₇Wenze amasongo amabili, uwafake ezizibeni zombili zengubo yamahlombe phansi ngaphambili, eduze nokuhlangana kwayo, phezu kwebhande* elifeketshisiweyo lengubo yamahlombe. ₂₈Bayakusibopha isihlangu sesifuba ngamasongo aso emasongweni engubo yamahlombe ngentambo eluhlaza ukuba sibe phezu kwebhande* elifekethisiweyo lengubo yamahlombe, ukuze isihlangu sesifuba singakhumuki engutsheni yamahlombe.

₂₉“U-Aroni uyakuphatha amagama abantwana bakwa-Israyeli esihlangwini sesifuba sokwahlulela phezu kwenhliziyo yakhe, nxa engena endaweni engcwele, kube yisikhumbuzo phambi kukaJehova njalo. ₃₀Ufake esihlangwini sesifuba sokwahlulela i-Urimi neThumimi,* ahlale phezu kwenhliziyo ka-Aroni, nxa engena phambi kukaJehova; u-Aroni athwale ukwahlulelwa kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli phezu kwenhliziyo yakhe phambi kukaJehova njalo.

₃₁“Uyakwenza ijazi lengubo yamahlombe ngokuluhlaza lonke, ₃₂kube yimbobo yekhanda ngaphakathi kwalo, imbobo yalo ibe nomphetho oyizungezayo womsebenzi owalukiweyo njengembobo yebhantshi lensimbi ukuba lingadatshulwa. ₃₃Emiphethweni yalo wowenza amapomegranati* ngokuluhlaza nangokububende nangokubomvu, azungeze imiphetho yalo, kanye nezikhencezo zegolide phakathi kwawo nxazonke, ₃₄kube yisikhencezo segolide nepomegranati,* isikhencezo segolide nepomegranati njalo emiphethweni yejazi nxazonke. ₃₅U-Aroni makalembathe eyokhonza; ukukhenceza kwalo kuyakuzwakala, nxa engena endaweni engcwele phambi kukaJehova, nanxa ephuma, ukuze angafi.

₃₆“Uyakwenza ungcwecwe wegolide elicwengekileyo, uqophe kuye njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho ukuthi: ‘Wahlukaniselwe uJehova’. ₃₇Umfake ngentambo eluhlaza, abe sesigqokweni, abe ngaphambili esigqokweni. ₃₈Uyakuba sebunzini lika-Aroni, u-Aroni athwale ububi bezinto ezingcwele, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abayakuzingcwelisa, zibe yizipho zabo ezingcwele; uyakuba sebunzini lakhe njalo ukuba bamukeleke ebusweni bukaJehova.

₃₉“Uyakwaluka ibhantshi eliyizingovu ngelineni elicolekileyo, wenze nesigqoko selineni elicolekileyo, wenze nebhande,* ulifekethise. ₄₀Uyakuwenzela namadodana ka-Aroni amabhantshi, uwenzele namabhande,* uwenzele nezigqoko, kube ngezobukhosi nezokuhlobisa. ₄₁Wembathise zona u-Aroni umfowenu namadodana akhe, ubagcobe, ubahlukanisele, ubangcwelise ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

₄₂“Ubenzele namabhulukwe elineni ukuba kusitshekelwe inyama yobunqunu babo, aqale okhalweni, afike emathangeni; ₄₃u-Aroni namadodana akhe bawafake, nxa bengena etendeni lokuhlangana, nanxa besondela e-altare ukuyokhonza endaweni engcwele, ukuba bangathwali ububi, bafe; kuyakuba yisimiso kuye nakuyo inzalo yakhe emva kwakhe kuze kube phakade.

₁“Yilokhu oyakukwenza kubo ukubahlukanisa ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi: thabatha iduna nezinqama ezimbili ezingenasici, ₂nesinkwa esingenamvubelo, namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo, agcotshwe ngamafutha; ukwenze ngempuphu ecolekileyo kakolweni. ₃Uyakukufaka eqomeni linye, ukulethe ngeqoma kanye nenkunzi nezinqama zombili; ₄usondeze u-Aroni namadodana akhe ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, ubageze ngamanzi. ₅Wothabatha izambatho, ufake ku-Aroni ibhantshi, nejazi lengubo yamahlombe, nengubo yamahlombe, nesihlangu sesifuba, umbhincise ngebhande* elalukiweyo lengubo yamahlombe; ₆ufake isigqoko ekhanda lakhe, ubeke umqhele ongcwele esigqokweni. ₇Uthabathe amafutha okugcoba, uwathele ekhanda lakhe, umgcobe. ₈Usondeze namadodana akhe, uwembathise amabhantshi. ₉Ubabhincise amabhande* u-Aroni namadodana akhe, uzibophe izigqoko kubo, babe nobupristi, kube yisimiso esiphakade, wahlukanise u-Aroni namadodana akhe.

₁₀“Uyisondeze inkunzi ngaphambi kwetende lokuhlangana; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo enhloko yenkunzi. ₁₁Woyihlaba inkunzi phambi kukaJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana. ₁₂Uthabathe igazi lenkunzi, ulibhece ezimpondweni ze-altare ngomunwe wakho, uthulule lonke igazi phansi ngase-altare. ₁₃Uyakuthabatha wonke umhlehlo osibekela izibilini, namanoni aphezu kwesibindi, nezinso zombili namanoni akuzo, ukushise e-altare. ₁₄Kepha inyama yenkunzi, nesikhumba sayo, nomswani wayo, uyakukushisa ngomlilo ngaphandle kwekamu;* kungumnikelo wesono.

₁₅“Wothabatha inqama ibe nye; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo enhloko yenqama. ₁₆Woyihlaba inqama, uthabathe igazi layo, ufafaze ngalo i-altare nxazonke. ₁₇Uyihlahlele inqama, uzihlanze izibilini zayo namanqina ayo, ukubeke ndawonye nezitho zayo nenhloko yayo. ₁₈Woyishisa yonke inqama e-altare; kungumnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova, yiphunga elimnandi, ngumnikelo womlilo kuJehova.

₁₉“Uthabathe enye inqama; u-Aroni namadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo enhloko yayo. ₂₀Woyihlaba inqama, uthabathe igazi layo, ulibhece esicutshini sendlebe yokunene ka-Aroni, nasesicutshini sendlebe yokunene yamadodana akhe, nasesithupheni sesandla sabo sokunene, nakuqukula wonyawo lwabo lokunene, ufafaze i-altare nxazonke ngegazi. ₂₁Wothabatha igazi elise-altare namafutha okugcoba, ufafaze ngakho u-Aroni nezambatho zakhe, namadodana akhe nezambatho zamadodana akhe, abe ngcwele yena nezambatho zakhe, namadodana akhe nezambatho zamadodana akhe.

₂₂“Wothabatha amanoni enqama, nomsila ononileyo, nomhlehlo osibekela izibilini, namanoni esibindi, nezinso zombili namanoni akuzo, nomlenze wokunene, ngokuba kuyinqama yokwahlukaniselwa; ₂₃uthabathe isinkwa sibe sinye, neqebelengwane libe linye lesinkwa esinamafutha, nomqathane ube munye eqomeni lesinkwa esingenamvubelo eliphambi kukaJehova, ₂₄ubeke konke ezandleni zika-Aroni nasezandleni zamadodana akhe, ukuzulise kube ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa phambi kukaJehova. ₂₅Ubuye ukuthabathe ezandleni zabo, ukushise e-altare phezu komnikelo wokushiswa, kube yiphunga elimnandi phambi kukaJehova: kungumnikelo womlilo kuJehova. ₂₆Uyakuthabatha isifuba senqama yokwahlukaniselwa kuka-Aroni, usizulise, sibe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa phambi kukaJehova, sibe yisabelo sakho.

₂₇“Uyakusingcwelisa isifuba somnikelo wokuzuliswa nomlenze womnikelo wokuphakanyiswa, ozuliswayo nophakanyiswayo, okwenqama yokwahlukaniselwa, okuka-Aroni nokwamadodana akhe; ₂₈kuyakuba ngokuka-Aroni nokwamadodana akhe, kube yimfanelo ephakade kwabakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba kungumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa; koba ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli womhlatshelo weminikelo yabo yokuthula, umnikelo wabo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova.

₂₉“Izambatho ezingcwele zika-Aroni ziyakuba ngezamadodana akhe emva kwakhe ukuba bagcotshwe, bahlukaniselwe, bembathe zona. ₃₀Indodana yakhe engumpristi esikhundleni sakhe ayizembathe izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, nxa ingena etendeni lokuhlangana ukuyokhonza endaweni engcwele.

₃₁“Woyithabatha inqama yokwahlukaniselwa, upheke inyama yayo endaweni engcwele. ₃₂U-Aroni namadodana akhe bayakuyidla inyama yenqama nesinkwa esiseqomeni ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, ₃₃badle lezo zinto ezenza ukubuyisana ukubahlukanisela nokubangcwelisa; zingadliwa ngumfokazi, ngokuba zingcwele. ₃₄Uma kusala inyama yokwahlukaniselwa kuze kuse noma isinkwa, ukushise okuseleyo ngomlilo, kungadliwa, ngokuba kungcwele.

₃₅“Uyakwenze njalo ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe, njengakho konke engikuyale ngakho; ukwahlukanisela kuyakuba yizinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ₃₆Imihla yonke wonikela ngenkunzi, ibe ngumnikelo wesono, ube ngowokubuyisana, uhlambulule i-altare, lapho ulenzela ukubuyisana, uligcobe ukuba ulingcwelise. ₃₇Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa wolenzela i-altare ukubuyisana, ulingcwelise, i-altare libe ngcwele kakhulu, nabo bonke abalithintayo bayakuba ngabangcwele.

₃₈“Yilokhu oyakunikela ngakho e-altare: amawundlu amabili anomnyaka munye imihla ngemihla njalo. ₃₉Elinye iwundlu wonikela ngalo ekuseni, elinye iwundlu wonikela ngalo kusihlwa. ₄₀Kanye nelinye iwundlu wonikela ngokweshumi kwempuphu ecolekileyo, ixovwe nokwesine kwehini* lamafutha agxotshiweyo, nokwesine kwehini lewayini, kube ngumnikelo wokuphuzwa. ₄₁Wonikela ngelinye iwundlu ngakusihlwa, wenze kulo njengomnikelo wempuphu wasekuseni nanjengomnikelo wawo wokuphuzwa, kube yiphunga elimnandi, umnikelo womlilo kuJehova.

₄₂“Lo uyakuba ngumnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke ezizukulwaneni zenu ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana phambi kukaJehova, lapho ngiyakuhlangana khona nani, ngikhulume khona kuwe. ₄₃Lapho ngiyakuhlangana nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; liyakungcweliswa yinkazimulo yami.

₄₄“Ngiyakungcwelisa itende lokuhlangana kanye ne-altare, ngingcwelise no-Aroni namadodana akhe ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi. ₄₅Ngiyakuhlala phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo. ₄₆Bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, owabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe, ukuba ngihlale phakathi kwabo; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

₁“Uyakwenza i-altare lokushisa impepho, ulenze ngomuthi womtholo. ₂Ubude balo bube yingalo, nobubanzi balo bube yingalo, libe nezinhlangothi ezine ezilingeneyo; ukuphakama kwalo kube yizingalo ezimbili, izimpondo zalo zibe kunye nalo. ₃Wolinameka ngegolide elicwengekileyo ngaphezulu, nezinhlangothi zalo nxazonke, nezimpondo zalo, ulenzele udini lwegolide nxazonke. ₄Ulenzele amasongo amabili egolide phansi kodini lwalo nxazombili, uwenze ezinhlangothini zombili zalo, abe yizindawo zezinti zokulithwala. ₅Wenze izinti ngomuthi womtholo, uzinameke ngegolide. ₆Ulibeke phambi kwesihenqo esingasemphongolweni wobufakazi, ngaphambi kwesihlalo somusa esiphezu kobufakazi, lapho ngiyakuhlangana khona nawe.

₇“U-Aroni woshisa kulo impepho yamakha athaphukayo; njalo ekuseni, nxa elungisa izibani, uyakuyithunqisa. ₈Nalapho u-Aroni ezibeka izibani ngakusihlwa, woyishisa ibe yimpepho ephakade phambi kukaJehova ezizukulwaneni zenu. ₉Ninganikeli kulo ngempepho engeyiyo, nangomnikelo wokushiswa, nangomnikelo wempuphu, ningatheli mnikelo wokuphuzwa kulo. ₁₀U-Aroni uyakwenzela izimpondo zalo ukubuyisana kanye ngomnyaka; ngegazi lomnikelo wesono wokubuyisana kanye ngomnyaka uyakulenzela ukubuyisana ezizukulwaneni zenu; lingcwelengcwele kuJehova.”

₁₁UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: ₁₂“Nxa ubala inani labantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngokwalabo ababalwayo, yilowo nalowo kubo makathele kuJehova ihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe, lapho ubabalayo, ukuba kungabikho sifo phakathi kwabo, nxa ubabala. ₁₃Lokhu bayakukuthela, kube yilowo nalowo odlulela kwababaliweyo: inxenye yeshekeli* ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele ishekeli lingamagera* angamashumi amabili inxenye yeshekeli ibe ngumnikelo kuJehova. ₁₄Yilowo nalowo odlulela kwababaliweyo, abaneminyaka engamashumi amabili nangaphezulu, uyakunikela ngomnikelo kuJehova. ₁₅Ocebileyo akayikunika kakhulu, ompofu angatheli kancane kunenxenye yeshekeli, lapho benikela ngomnikelo kuJehova ukuba kwenzelwe ukubuyisana kwemiphefumulo yenu. ₁₆Wothabatha imali yokubuyisana kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uyimisele inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana, ibe yisikhumbuzo sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli phambi kukaJehova, ukuba kwenzelwe ukubuyisana kwemiphefumulo yenu.”
