ULevitikusi 16:1-19

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose emva kokufa kwamadodana amabili ka-Aroni, enikela imihlatshelo phambi kukaJehova, afa; UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Yisho u-Aroni umfowenu ukuthi angangeni njalo endlini engcwele ngaphakathi kwesihenqo ngaphambi kwesihlalo somusa esiphezu komphongolo; funa afe, ngokuba ngiyakubonakala efwini phezu kwesihlalo somusa. Ngakho u-Aroni kumelwe angene endlini engcwele: neduna libe ngumnikelo wesono nenqama ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa. Uyakwembatha ingubo engcwele yelineni, abe nebhulukwe lelineni emzimbeni wakhe, abhince ibhande lelineni, abhince nomshuqulo welineni; lezi ziyizingubo ezingcwele; ngakho-ke kufanele ageze umzimba wakhe ngamanzi futhi awugqoke kanje. Kumelwe athathe enhlanganweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli izinqama ezimbili njengomnikelo wesono nenqama eyodwa njengomnikelo wokushiswa. U-Aroni kumelwe alungise inkunzi yakhe yomnikelo wesono azenzele yena nendlu yakhe isihlawulelo. Kumelwe athathe izimbuzi ezimbili azibeke phambi kukaJehova emnyango wetende lokuhlangana. U-Aroni kumelwe enze inkatho ngalezi zimbuzi ezimbili; enye inkatho ngekaJehova, enye ngeka-Azazeli. U-Aroni kumelwe alethe impongo inkatho kaJehova ewele phezu kwayo, ayenze ibe ngumnikelo wesono. Kodwa impongo ewele phezu kwayo inkatho ka-Azazeli kufanele ilethwe iphila phambi kukaJehova ukuze enze ukubuyisana nayo, ayikhulule njengempongo ehlane. U-Aroni kumelwe alethe inkunzi yakhe yomnikelo wesono azenzele yena nendlu yakhe isihlawulelo, ahlabe inkunzi yomnikelo wesono eyakhe. Kumelwe athathe umcengezi womlilo ogcwele amalahle avuthayo avela e-altare phambi kukaJehova, futhi izandla zakhe zigcwele impepho ecolisiweyo, akungenise ngaphakathi kwesihenqo. Kumelwe abeke impepho emlilweni phambi kukaJehova, ukuze ifu lempepho lisibekele isihlalo somusa esiphezu kobufakazi, ukuze angafi. Kumelwe athathe igazi lenkunzi alifafaze ngomunwe esihlalweni somusa esingasempumalanga; futhi phambi kwesihlalo somusa kumelwe afafaze elinye igazi ngomunwe wakhe kasikhombisa. Khona-ke kumelwe ahlabe imbuzi yomnikelo wesono eqondene nabantu, alethe igazi layo evelini enze kulelo gazi njengoba enzile ngegazi lenkunzi, alifafaze phezu kwesihlalo somusa naphambi kwesihe isihlalo: Kumelwe enzele indlu engcwele isihlawulelo ngenxa yokungcola kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli nangenxa yeziphambeko zabo kuzo zonke izono zabo; enze njalo etendeni lokuhlangana elihlezi phakathi kwabo phakathi kokungcola kwabo. Makungabikho muntu etendeni lokuhlangana, lapho engena ukwenza ukubuyisana endlini engcwele, aze aphume, azenzele yena nendlu yakhe, nebandla lonke lika-Israyeli ukubuyisana. Kumelwe aphume aye e-altare eliphambi kukaJehova, alenze isihlawulelo; uthathe igazi lenkunzi nasegazini lempongo, ulisakaze ezimpondweni ze-altare. Kumelwe afafaze elinye legazi ngomunwe wakhe phezu kwalo kasikhombisa futhi alihlanze futhi alingcwelise ekungcoleni kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
