U-Abrama wasemnika okwetshumi kwakho konke.+

22 Ilitshe leli engilimise laba njengensika lizakuba yindlu kaNkulunkulu+ futhi loba sekutheni ngizakunika okwetshumi kukho konke ozanginika khona.”

21 “Khathesi-ke senginike amadodana kaLevi konke okwetshumi+ okuvela ko-Israyeli ukuthi kube lilifa lawo ngenxa yenkonzo ayenzayo, inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana.

26 “Khuluma lamaLevi uthi kuwo, ‘Lizakwamukela okwetshumi okuvela ebantwini bako-Israyeli engilinike khona ukuthi kube lilifa lenu+ njalo lani kumele likhiphe okwetshumi kokwetshumi elikutholileyo linikele ngakho kuJehova.+

22 “Kumele ube leqiniso lokuthi uyakhipha okwetshumi kuzo zonke izithelo zenhlanyelo yakho oyihlanyela emasimini akho minyaka yonke.+

5 Umlayo wathi usanda kubekwa, ama-Israyeli ahle aletha iminikelo eminengi kakhulu. Aletha izithelo zokuqala zamabele, lewayini elitsha, lamafutha,+ loluju, lakho konke ababekuthole emasimini.+ Baletha lokwetshumi kwakho konke ababelakho njalo kwakukunengi kakhulu.+

12 Bonke abakoJuda baletha okwetshumi+ kwamabele abo lokwewayini elitsha lokwamafutha, kwafakwa eziphaleni.+

10 Lethani konke okwetshumi esiphaleni sami+ ukuze kube lokudla endlini yami.+ Ngicela lingilinge kulokhu, libone ukuthi ngeke yini ngilivulele amagedi asemazulwini+ ngilithululele izibusiso ezinengi lize liswele lokuthi lizifake ngaphi,”+ kutsho uJehova wamabutho.

42 Maye kini baFarisi ngoba linikela okwetshumi kweminti lokweruwi* kanye lokwezilimo zonke elizilima engadini,+ kodwa alizihluphi ngokuthanda uNkulunkulu lokwahlulela kwakhe okuhle! Bekufanele sibili linikele okwetshumi, kodwa lalokhu okunye bekumele likuqakathekise.+

5 UMthetho uyatsho sibili ukuthi abangamadodana kaLevi,+ abaphiwa umsebenzi wokuba ngabaphristi balaywa ukuthi baqoqe okwetshumi ebantwini,+ kulabo abangabafowabo, lanxa beyizizukulwane zika-Abrahama.*
