2 “Nxa kungatholakala indoda loba owesifazana phakathi kwenu, kwelinye lamadolobho enu uJehova uNkulunkulu alinika wona, owenza okubi phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, esephula isivumelwano sakhe,+ 3 abesephambuka ayekhonza abanye onkulunkulu abakhothamele kumbe akhothamele ilanga loba inyanga kumbe lonke nje ibutho elisemazulwini,+ esenza lokho engingazange ngililaye khona,+

16 Baqhubeka bephambuka kuyo yonke imilayo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo. Benza amathole amabili ngensimbi,+ benza lesithombe sika-Ashera,*+ bakhonza uBhali+ futhi bakhothamela lonke ibutho elisemazulwini.*+

16 Wasengithatha wangisa egumeni lendlu kaJehova elingaphakathi.+ Emnyango wethempeli likaJehova phakathi laphakathi komphotshongo le-alithare, kwakulamadoda angaba ngu-25 ayefulathele ithempeli likaJehova ekhangele empumalanga, ekhothamele ilanga.+
