UNumeri 10:1-10

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: Zenzele amacilongo amabili esiliva; wowenza ube ngocezu lonke, ulusebenzisele ukubiza umhlangano, nokukhipha amabhoro. Lapho ziwashaya, inhlangano yonke kumelwe ibuthane kanye nawe emnyango wetende lokuhlangana. Uma beshaya icilongo elilodwa kuphela, khona-ke izikhulu eziyizinhloko zezinkulungwane zakwa-Israyeli kumelwe zibuthene kuwe. Lapho uhlaba umkhosi, amabhodi asohlangothini lwasempumalanga kumelwe aye phambili. Uma uhlaba umkhosi ngokwesibili, amakamu asohlangothini lwaseningizimu ayakusuka; kumele bakhalele bona phela. Kodwa lapho inhlangano ibuthana, kumelwe nibethe, kodwa akumelwe nihlabe umkhosi. Amadodana ka-Aroni, abapristi, kumelwe abethe amacilongo; kuyakuba yisimiso kini kuze kube phakade ezizukulwaneni zenu. Futhi uma nilwa ezweni lakini ngokumelene nesitha esinicindezelayo, kufanele nihlabe umkhosi ngamacilongo; uyakukhunjulwa phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ukhululwe ezitheni zakho. Ngosuku lokuthokoza kwenu nangezinsuku zemikhosi yenu nasekuqaleni kwezinyanga zenu niyakuvuthela amacilongo phezu kweminikelo yenu yokushiswa naphezu kweminikelo yenu yokubonga; ukuze zibe yisikhumbuzo kini phambi kukaNkulunkulu wenu; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
