7Ungaliphathi ngeze igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; ngoba uJehova kayikumyekela osebenzisa ibizo lakhe ngeze.
8Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ulungcwelise.

15Ungebi.
16Ungafakazi amanga ngomakhelwane wakho.
17Ungafisi indlu yomakhelwane wakho, ungafisi umfazi womakhelwane wakho, nenceku yakhe, nencekukazi yakhe, nenkabi yakhe, nembongolo yakhe, nokunye okomakhelwane wakho.
18Bonke abantu babona ukuduma, nemibani, nomsindo wecilongo, nentaba ethunqayo; abantu sebekubona bahlehla bamela khatshana.
19Basebesithi kuMozisi: Khuluma wena kithi, sizakuzwa; kepha uNkulunkulu makangakhulumi kithi, funa sife.
20UMose wayesethi kubantu: “Ningesabi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uze ukunivivinya, ukumesaba kube phambi kwenu, ukuze ningoni.
21Abantu bema kude, uMose wasondela ebumnyameni obukhulu lapho uNkulunkulu ekhona.
22UJehova wathi kuMose: “Uzakusho kanje kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Nibonile nina ukuthi ngikhulume kini ngisezulwini;
23Ningangenzeli onkulunkulu besiliva, ningazenzeli onkulunkulu begolide.
24Ungenzele i-altare lomhlabathi, unikele phezu kwalo iminikelo yakho yokushiswa neminikelo yakho yokubonga, izimvu zakho nezinkomo zakho phezu kwalo; kuzo zonke izindawo lapho engichaza khona igama lami, ngizoza kuwe futhi ngikubusise.
25Futhi uma nifuna ukungenzela i-altare lamatshe, akumelwe nilakhe ngamatshe abaziweyo; ngoba uma uphakamisa ithuluzi lakho phezu kwalo, ungcolisile.
26Ungenyukeli futhi izitebhisi ukuya e-altare lami, ukuze ubuze bakho bungabonakali kulo.
