7 “Phezu kwetafula lezinkwa zobukhona, bayakwendlala indwangu eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, babeke kuyo izingqwembe, izinkezo, izinkamba, nezindebe zomnikelo wokuphuzwayo; kuhlale kunesinkwa phezu kwalo. 8Bayakwendlala phezu kwazo indwangu ebomvu, bayemboze ngesikhumba samahlengethwa, bese befaka izingongolo zalo.
9“Bayakuthatha indwangu eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bamboze uthi lwezibani, nezibani zalo, izindlawu zalo, izitsha zalo zomlotha, nazo zonke izitsha zamafutha abazisebenzisa kulo; 10bayakulufaka nezinto zalo zonke esikhumbeni samahlengethwa, bese bekubeka konke ohlakeni.
11“Phezu kwe-althare legolide bayokwendlala indwangu eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bayemboze ngesikhumba samahlengethwa, bese befaka izingongolo zalo.
12“Bayothatha zonke izimpahla zokukhonza abakhonza ngazo endaweni engcwele, bazifake endwangwini eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bazemboze ngesikhumba samahlengethwa, bazibeke ohlakeni.
13 “Bayakususa umlotha e-althare, bendlale phezu kwalo indwangu ebukhwebezane, 14babeke kuyo zonke izimpahla zalo abakhonza ngazo kulo, imicengezi yempepho, izimfologo, amafosholo, nezimpahla zonke ze-althare, bendlale phezu kwazo isembozo sesikhumba samahlengethwa, bese befaka izingongolo zalo.
15 “Nxa u-Aroni namadodana akhe sebeqedile ukwemboza indawo engcwele nempahla yonke yendawo engcwele, lapho inkambu seyithutha, kuyakuza abozalo lukaKhohathi ukuzokuthwala, kodwa abayukuthinta lutho olungcwele ngokuba bayokufa. Lezi zinto zingumthwalo wabozalo lukaKhohathi ethendeni lokuhlangana.
16 “U-Eleyazare, indodana ka-Aroni umphristi, uyakulungisa amafutha okukhanyisa impepho ethaphukayo, umnikelo wokusanhlamvu wemihla ngemihla, namafutha okugcoba futhi anakekele ithabanakeli lonke nakho konke okukulo; indawo engcwele nempahla yayo.”
