39 Ngakho u-Eliyazari umphristi wathatha inkezwana lezo zekhopha ezazibuye lamadoda ayesetshiswe ngumlilo wazikhanda ukuze azinamathisele e-alithareni, 40 njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi. Lokhu kwakuzakhumbuza abantu bako-Israyeli ukuthi kakho umuntu ongavunyelwayo,* ongasuye wabosendo luka-Aroni okumele anikele impepha kuJehova+ lokuthi kakho umuntu okumele enze njengoKhora labasekeli bakhe.+

27 Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wafika ku-Eli wathi kuye: “UJehova uthi: ‘Kanti angizange ngiziveze egcekeni yini kukhokho wakho lemuli yakhe ngesikhathi beseGibhithe, beyizigqili endlini kaFaro?+ 28 Phakathi kwezizwana zonke zako-Israyeli, ngakhetha ukhokho wakho+ ukuthi abe ngumphristi wami, ukuze aye e-alithareni lami+ ayekwenza imihlatshelo anikele langempepha futhi agqoke i-efodi phambi kwami. Abemuli kakhokho wakho ngabanika yonke iminikelo etshiswa ngabantu bako-Israyeli.+

9 Ngokomkhuba wabaphristi, kwasekulithuba lakhe lokungena endaweni engcwele kaJehova*+ atshise impepha.+
