23 “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Akumelanga lidle loba yiwaphi amafutha+ kungaba ngawenkunzi kumbe awemvana enduna kumbe awembuzi.

15 Umuntu owayezonikela umhlatshelo wayesithi engakatshisi lamafutha,+ inceku yomphristi ifike kuye ithi: “Nika umphristi inyama yokosa. Kafuni inyama ephekiweyo, ufuna eluhlaza kuphela.” 16 Umuntu owayenikela umhlatshelo wayephendula athi: “Mana baqale batshise amafutha,+ ubusuthatha konke okufunayo,” kodwa inceku yomphristi yona iphendule isithi: “Hatshi, ngipha khathesi, nxa ungafuni ngizayithatha ngenkani!” 17 Isono sezinceku zabaphristi saba sikhulu kakhulu kuJehova+ ngoba amadoda lawo ayengasayihloniphi iminikelo kaJehova.
