16 Kanti njalo kumele linanze uMkhosi Wokuvuna* izithelo zomsebenzi wenu ezivuthwa kuqala, owalokho elakuhlanyela emasimini enu.+ Ekupheleni komnyaka kumele linanze uMkhosi Wokubutha* nxa selibutha konke elikusebenzeleyo okuphume emasimini enu.+

12 “‘Mhlaka 15 ngenyanga yesikhombisa kumele lenze umhlangano ongcwele. Akumelanga lenze loba yiwuphi umsebenzi onzima njalo kufanele lenzele uJehova umkhosi okwamalanga ayisikhombisa.+

13 “Nxa selibutha lokho okusezizeni zenu lasezikhamelweni zenu zamafutha lezewayini kumele linanze uMkhosi Wezihonqo*+ okwamalanga ayisikhombisa.

4 Benza loMkhosi Wezihonqo* belandela lokho okubhaliweyo,+ futhi nsuku zonke babenikela imihlatshelo yokutshiswa eyayifuneka usuku ngalunye.+

14 Ebhukwini loMthetho bathola kubhalwe ukuthi uJehova wayetshele uMosi ukuthi abako-Israyeli kumele bahlale ezihonqweni ngesikhathi somkhosi wenyanga yesikhombisa,+ 15 lokuthi kwakumele bamemezele+ kuwo wonke amadolobho abo lakulo lonke idolobho laseJerusalema bathi: “Hambani ezintabeni liyegamula ingatsha zezihlahla zama-oliva, lezezihlahla zephayini, lezommethile, lezelala kanye lezinye nje ezilamahlamvu, beselizokwakha izihonqo njengoba nje kubhaliwe eMthwethweni.”

16 Abantu bathi sebekutsheliwe lokhu, basuka bayagamula ingatsha zokwenza izihonqo babuya lazo. Benza izihonqo ephahleni lwezindlu lasemagumeni emizi yabo, lasemagumeni endlu kaNkulunkulu weqiniso,+ lasegcekeni legedi lamanzi+ kanye lasegcekeni legedi lako-Efrayimi.+ 17 Bonke ababebuye bevela ekuthunjweni bakha izihonqo bahlala kuzo. Abako-Israyeli babengakaze bawenze ngalindlela umkhosi lo kusukela ngensuku zikaJoshuwa+ indodana kaNuni kuze kube ngalelolanga. Abantu bathokoza kakhulu.+ 18 Ibhuku loMthetho kaNkulunkulu weqiniso lalibalwa nsuku zonke,+ kusukela ngelanga lokuqala kwaze kwaba lilanga lokucina. Umkhosi lo bawenza okwamalanga ayisikhombisa, kwasekusiba lomhlangano ongcwele ngelanga lesi-8 belandela okutshiwo nguMthetho.+
