11 “ ‘Emikhosini nasemihlanganweni umnikelo wempuphu uyakuba yi-efa* ngenkunzi ne-efa ngenqama, ngamawundlu ube njengamandla aso, kube yihini* lamafutha nge-efa. 12Lapho isikhulu siyakulungisa umnikelo wesihle, umnikelo wokushiswa neminikelo yokuthula ibe ngumnikelo wesihle kuJehova, siyakuvulelwa isango elibheke ngasempumalanga, silungise umnikelo waso wokushiswa neminikelo yaso yokuthula njengokwenza kwaso ngosuku lwesabatha, bese siphuma; nalapho sesiphumile, isango liyakuvalwa.

13 “ ‘Uyakulungisa iwundlu elinomnyaka munye elingenasici libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova imihla ngemihla, ulilungise ekuseni njalo. 14Uyakuwulungisela umnikelo wempuphu ekuseni njalo, inxenye yesithupha ye-efa* nenxenye yesithathu yehini* lamafutha ukugcoba impuphu ecolekileyo, kube ngumnikelo wempuphu kuJehova njalonjalo ngesimiso esiphakade. 15Bayakulungisa-ke iwundlu, nomnikelo wempuphu, namafutha ekuseni njalo, kube ngumnikelo wokushiswa imihla yonke.

16“ ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Uma isikhulu sinika enye yamadodana aso isipho, kuyifa layo, yimfuyo yayo ngokobufa. 17 Kepha uma sinika enye yezinceku zaso isipho sasefeni laso, siyakuba ngesayo kuze kube semnyakeni wokukhululeka, bese sibuyela esikhulwini; kepha ifa laso liyakuba ngelamadodana aso. 18 Isikhulu asiyikuthatha efeni labantu ukubaphuca imfuyo yabo; sithatha emfuyweni yaso siyakuwanika amadodana aso ifa ukuze abantu bami bangahlukani, kube yilowo nalowo nemfuyo yakhe.’ ”

19Wayesengingenisa ngendawo yokungena eseceleni kwesango emakamelweni angcwele abapristi, abheke ngasenyakatho; bheka, kwakukhona lapho indawo ngasemuva ngasentshonalanga. 20Wathi kimi: “Nansi indawo lapho abapristi beyakuphekela khona umnikelo wecala nomnikelo wesono, nalapho beyakwenza khona umnikelo wempuphu, ukuze bangawuphumiseli egcekeni elingaphandle, bangcwelise abantu.”

21Wayesengiphumisela egcekeni elingaphandle, wangidlulisa ezingosini zozine zegceke; bheka, ezingosini zonke zegceke kwakukhona ibala. 22Ezingosini zozine zegceke kwakukhona amabala ahlukanisiweyo, ubude buyizingalo ezingamashumi amane, nobubanzi bungezingamashumi amathathu; lawa omane asezingosini ayeyisilinganiso sinye. 23Phakathi kwawo nxazonke, nxazonke zawo omane, kwakukhona ugange olwenziwe lunamaziko phansi ogangeni nxazonke. 24Wathi kimi: “Nazi izindlu zokuphekela izikhonzi zendlu eziyakuphekela kuzo imihlatshelo yabantu.”
