UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi:
Bala inani lamadodana kaKohati emadodaneni kaLevi, ngensendo zawo, ngezindlu zawoyise,
kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu langaphezulu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu, bonke abangena empini ukwenza umsebenzi ethenteni lenhlangano.
Lena iyakuba yinkonzo yamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana mayelana nezinto ezingcwelengcwele.
Lapho ikamu lisuka, u-Aroni namadodana akhe kumelwe beze, bakhumule isembozo bamboze umphongolo wobufakazi ngaso.
Ubeke phezu kwayo isigubungelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, wendlala phezu kwayo indwangu ebubende yodwa, ufake izinti zayo.
Phezu kwetafula lesinkwa sokubukwa kumelwe bendlala indwangu ebubende babeke phezu kwalo izitsha nezinkezo nezitsha nezitsha zokubeka phezu kwazo; nesinkwa saphakade kumelwe sibe phezu kwayo.
Bayakwendlala phezu kwayo indwangu ebomvu, bayimboze ngesigubungelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, bafake izinti zayo.
Bayakuthatha indwangu ebubende bamboze uthi lwesibani lwesibani, nezibani zalo, nezindlawu zalo, nezitsha zalo, nezitsha zalo zamafutha abakhonza ngazo kulo.
Bazakubeka kanye nazo zonke izinto zaso eyisibekelelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, bakubeke phezu kodondolo.
Phezu kwe-altare legolide bayakwendlala indwangu ebubende balimboze ngesikhumba samatahasi, balinamathisele ezintini zalo.
Kumelwe bathathe zonke izinto zokukhonza abakhonza ngazo endlini engcwele bazifake endwangwini ebubende bazimboze ngesembozo sezikhumba zamatahasi bazibeke odondolweni.
Kumelwe basuse umlotha e-altare futhi bendlala indwangu ebubende phezu kwalo.
Kumelwe babeke zonke izinto zakhe abakhonza ngazo phezu kwalo, imicengezi yomlilo, namakhona enyama namafosholo nezitsha, zonke izinto ze-altare; bayakwendlala phezu kwalo isembozo sezikhumba zamatahasi, balinamathisele ezintini zalo.
Lapho u-Aroni namadodana akhe sebeqedile ukumboza indlu engcwele nazo zonke izinto zendlu engcwele lapho ikamu kumelwe lisuke; emva kwalokho amadodana kaKohati ayakufika ukulithwala; kodwa akumelwe bathinte lutho olungcwele, funa bafe. Lezi zinto zingumthwalo wamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana.
Esikhundleni sika-Eleyazare indodana ka-Aroni umpristi, amafutha othi lwesibani, nempepho yamakha, nomnikelo wokudla wansuku zonke, namafutha okugcoba, nokuqondisa kwetabernakele lonke, nakho konke okukulo ethempelini. Indawo engcwele nasezintweni zayo.
UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi:
Ungasinqumi isizwe semindeni yamaKohati phakathi kwamaLevi.
Kodwa yenzani njalo kubo, ukuze baphile, bangafi, ekusondeleni kwabo ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele: uAroni lamadodana akhe bazangena, babamise, kube yilowo lalowo emsebenzini wakhe lomthwalo wakhe.
Kodwa akumelwe bangene ukuze babone lapho izinto ezingcwele zisitshekelwe, funa bafe.
