UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
Khuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Uba umkamuntu ephuma enze isono kuye,
Futhi indoda yalala naye, futhi kufihliwe emehlweni endoda yakhe futhi kugcinwe eduze, futhi ungcolile, kungekho fakazi ngokumelene naye, futhi akathathwanga ngokulunga;
Umoya wesikhwele wamfikela, waba nesikhwele ngomkakhe, wangcola; noma uma umoya wesikhwele umfikela, abe nesikhwele ngomkayo, kepha yena angangcoliswa;
Khona-ke indoda kumelwe ilethe umkayo kumpristi, futhi kumelwe ilethe umnikelo wakhe, okweshumi kwe-efa likafulawa webhali; akayikuthela amafutha kuwo, angafaki nampepho phezu kwawo; ngoba kungumhlatshelo wokutshiseka, umnikelo wesikhumbuzo okhumbuza ububi.
Umpristi kumelwe amsondeze ammise phambi kukaJehova.
Umpristi kumelwe athathe amanzi angcwele embizeni yobumba; umpristi athabathe othulini oluphansi kwetabernakele, aluphonse emanzini.
Umpristi kumelwe ambeke owesifazane phambi kukaJehova, embule ikhanda lowesifazane, abeke umnikelo wesikhumbuzo womhawu esandleni sakhe, futhi umpristi abe namanzi ababayo esiqalekiso esandleni sakhe.
Umpristi amfungise ngesifungo, athi kowesifazane: ‘Uma kungekho muntu olale nawe, futhi uma ungangcoliswanga ngomunye esikhundleni sendoda yakho, khululeka kulawa manzi ababayo ayisiqalekiso;
Kodwa uma uye kwenye indawo yendoda yakho, futhi uma uzingcolisile, futhi othile ulala nawe eceleni kwendoda yakho;
Khona-ke umpristi kumelwe afungise owesifazane ngesifungo sesiqalekiso, futhi umpristi kumelwe athi kowesifazane: “UJehova uyokwenza isiqalekiso nesifungo phakathi kwabantu bakini, uma uJehova evusa inqulu yakho nesisu sakho.
Lawa manzi esiqalekiso ayakungena ezibilinini zakho, avuvukalise isisu sakho, abolise okhalweni lwakho. Futhi owesifazane kumelwe athi: Amen, amen.
Umpristi kumelwe azilobe encwadini lezi ziqalekiso, futhi kumelwe azesule ngamanzi ababayo.
Kumelwe aphuzise owesifazane amanzi ababayo esiqalekiso, futhi amanzi abangela isiqalekiso ayongena kuye abe ababa.
Umpristi uyakuthabatha umnikelo esandleni sowesifazane, awusondeze umhlatshelo phambi kukaJehova, awulungise e-altare.
Umpristi kumelwe agcwalise isandla somnikelo, umnikelo wawo wesikhumbuzo, awuthungele ngomlilo e-altare, ngemva kwalokho aphuzise owesifazane la manzi.
Uma emphuzise la manzi, kuyakuthi, uma engcolisiwe, umyeni wakhe ephinga, amanzi esiqalekiso ayakungena kuye, abe ababa, isisu sakhe sivuvukele, abole inyonga yakhe; owesifazane uyakuba yisiqalekiso phakathi kwabantu bakubo.
Futhi uma owesifazane engangcolile, kodwa ehlanzekile; khona-ke uzokhululeka futhi akhulelwe.
Lona ngumthetho wesikhwele lapho owesifazane engena esikhundleni somyeni wakhe, angcoliswe;
Noma uma kufika kuye umoya wesikhwele, abe nesikhwele ngomkayo, amlethe owesifazane phambi kukaJehova, umpristi enze kuye wonke lo mthetho;
Khona-ke indoda iyakuba msulwa ebubini, futhi lona wesifazane uyothwala ububi bakhe.
