1Basuka e-Elimi, inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli yafika ehlane laseSini eliphakathi kwe-Elimi neSinayi ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga yesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo ezweni laseGibithe.
2Yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli yakhonona ngoMose no-Aroni ehlane.
3Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathi kubo: “Sengathi safa ngesandla sikaJehova ezweni laseGibithe, sihlezi ngasemakhanzini enyama, sidla inala yesinkwa; ngoba nisikhiphise kuleli hlane ukuba nibulale lonke leli bandla ngendlala.
4UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Bheka, ngizakuninisela isinkwa esivela ezulwini; futhi abantu kumelwe baphume futhi baqoqe inani elithile nsuku zonke, ukuze ngibavivinye ukuthi bayohamba yini emthethweni wami noma cha.
5Futhi kuyokwenzeka ukuthi ngosuku lwesithupha bayolungisa lokho abazokuletha; futhi kuyoba ngokuphindwe kabili kunaleyo abayiqoqa nsuku zonke.
6OMose no-Aroni base bethi kubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Ngakusihlwa niyakwazi ukuthi uJehova unikhiphile ezweni laseGibhithe.
7Kusasa niyakubona inkazimulo kaJehova; ngoba uyezwa ukukhonona kwenu ngoJehova. Thina siyini ukuthi nikhonone ngathi?
8Wayesethi uMose: “Kuyakuthi uma uJehova eninika inyama kusihlwa ukuba nidle, nesinkwa ekuseni nisuthe; ngokuba uJehova uyezwa ukububula kwenu ngaye. Futhi siyini? anikhononi ngathi, kepha niphikisana neNkosi.
9UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Tshono kuyo yonke inhlanganiso yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, uthi: Sondelani phambi kweNkosi, ngoba ikuzwile ukukhonona kwenu.
10U-Aroni esakhuluma kuyo yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, babheka ngasehlane, bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yabonakala efwini.
11UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
12Ngikuzwile ukububula kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; khuluma kubo uthi: Kusihlwa niyakudla inyama, ekuseni nisuthe yisinkwa; niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
13Kwathi kusihlwa kwenyuka izigwaca, zasibekela ikamu; ekuseni kwakulele amazolo ekamu nxazonke.
14Kwathi lapho evuka amazolo alele phansi, bheka, kukhona phezu kogwadule into encane eyindilinga, encane njengongqoqwane emhlabathini.
15Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bekubona bathi omunye komunye: Leli yimana, ngoba babengazi ukuthi liyini. Wayesethi uMose kubo: “Lesi yisinkwa uJehova aninike sona ukuba nisidle.
16Nansi indaba uJehova ayala ngayo: Buthani kukho, kube yilowo nalowo njengokudla kwakhe, ihomere kulowo nalowo, ngokwesibalo somzimba wakho; yilowo nalowo athathele abasetendeni lakhe.
17Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benze njalo, abanye babutha kakhulu, abanye kancane.
18Lapho sebelinganisa ngegomere, owayebuthe okuningi akasalanga lutho, nowayebuthe okuyingcosana akaswelanga; babutha, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengokudla kwakhe.
19Wayesethi uMose: “Makungasali muntu kukho kuze kuse.”
20Kepha abamlalelanga uMose; kepha enye yasala kukho kwaze kwasa, yazala izimpethu, yanuka; uMose wabathukuthelela.
21Bakubutha ekuseni njalo, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengokudla kwakhe; kwathi ilanga selifudumala, yancibilika.
22Ngosuku lwesithupha babutha isinkwa esiphindwe kabili, amagomere amabili kumuntu munye; zonke izikhulu zenhlangano zeza zamtshela uMose.
23Wathi kubo: “Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Kusasa kuyisabatha elingcwele likaJehova; bhaka lokho ozokupheka namuhla, futhi upheke lokho ozokupheka; futhi okuseleyo, zibekeleni nina, nikugcine kuze kube kusasa.
24Bakubeka kwaze kwasa, njengalokho ebeyalile uMose; akunukanga, akwabakho zimpethu kukho.
25Wayesethi uMose: “Yidlani namuhla; ngoba namuhla kuyisabatha leNkosi; namuhla aniyikuyithola endle.
26Kumelwe ukubuthe izinsuku eziyisithupha; kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa, okuyisabatha, kakuyikuba njalo.
27Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi abanye abantu baphuma ngosuku lwesikhombisa ukuyobutha, futhi abatholanga lutho.
28INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lisala ukugcina imilayo yami lemithetho yami?
29Bhekani, ngokuba uJehova uninike isabatha, ngalokho uyaninika ngosuku lwesithupha isinkwa sezinsuku ezimbili; hlalani, kube yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe, makungaphumi muntu endaweni yakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
30Abantu basebephumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
31Indlu ka-Israyeli yaqamba igama lakho ngokuthi imana, futhi yayimhlophe njengembewu yekoriyanderi; ukunambitheka kwayo kwakunjengezinyosi ezenziwe ngoju.
32UMose wayesethi: “Nansi indaba uJehova ayale ngayo: Gcwalisani igomere kulo, ligcinelwe izizukulwane zenu; ukuze babone isinkwa enganidlisa ngaso ehlane lapho nginikhipha ezweni laseGibithe.
33UMose wathi ku-Aroni: “Thatha imbiza, ubeke kuyo imana, uyibeke phambi kukaJehova, igcinelwe izizukulwane zenu.
34Njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose, u-Aroni wawubeka phambi kobufakazi ukuba ulondolozwe.
35Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli badla imana iminyaka engamashumi amane, baze bafika ezweni elakhiweyo; badla imana baze bafika emikhawulweni yezwe laseKhanani.
36Igomeri lingokweshumi kwe-efa.
