ULevi

8 UJehova waqhubeka ekhuluma loMosi wathi: 2 “Biza u-Aroni lamadodana akhe+ uthathe lezigqoko zabo+ zokwenza umsebenzi, lamafutha angcwele,+ lenkunzi yomnikelo wesono, lenqama ezimbili kanye lebhasikiti elesinkwa esingelamvubelo,+ 3 ubusubuthanisa bonke abantu emnyango wetende lokuhlangana.”

4 UMosi wenza khona kanye uJehova ayemtshele khona. Wabuthanisa abantu emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, 5 wasekhuluma labo wathi: “Nanku uJehova athe sikwenze.” 6 Ngakho wasondeza u-Aroni lamadodana akhe eduze wabagezisa ngamanzi.+ 7 Ngemva kwalokho wamgqokisa isigqoko eside,+ wamfaka lebhanti,+ wamgqokisa lejazi elingelamikhono,+ wamgqokisa le-efodi*+ waseyibopha yaqina ngebhanti layo elelukiweyo.*+ 8 Wamgqokisa lesikhwama sesifubeni,+ wasefaka i-Urimi leThumimi+ phakathi kwaso. 9 Wasemgqokisa iqhiye+ ekhanda wafaka icence legolide elicazimulayo phambi kwayo, uphawu lokuzinikela olungcwele,*+ njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.

10 UMosi wasethatha amafutha okugcoba wagcoba ithabanikeli lakho konke okukulo+ wakungcwelisa. 11 Ngemva kwalokho wathatha amanye wawafafaza kasikhombisa phezu kwe-alithare njalo wagcoba i-alithare lazo zonke izitsha zalo lenditshi lesisekelo sayo ukuze akungcwelise konke. 12 Ekucineni wathela amanye amafutha ekhanda lika-Aroni wamgcoba ukuze amngcwelise.+

13 UMosi wasesondeza amadodana ka-Aroni eduze wawagqokisa izigqoko ezinde, wawabopha ngamabhanti njalo wawagqokisa lamaqhiye+ njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuye.

14 Ngemva kwalokho waletha inkunzi yomnikelo wesono, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo ekhanda lenkunzi yomnikelo wesono.+ 15 UMosi waseyihlaba inkunzi leyo wathatha igazi+ ngomunwe waligcoba empondweni ze-alithare kuwo wonke amacele alo njalo walihlambulula esonweni. Kodwa lonke igazi elalisele walithela phansi kwe-alithare walingcwelisa ukuze kwenzelwe kulo imihlatshelo yokuhlawulelwa. 16 Ngemva kwalokho uMosi wathatha wonke amafutha asemathunjini, lamafutha aphezu kwesibindi kanye lezinso ezimbili lamafutha azo wakutshisa kwathunqa phezu kwe-alithare.+ 17 Wasethatha inkunzi yonke lesikhumba sayo lomswane wayo wayakutshisa ngomlilo phandle kwezihonqo+ njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuye.

18 Waseletha inqama yomnikelo wokutshiswa, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo ekhanda layo.+ 19 UMosi wayihlaba wasefafaza igazi layo kuwo wonke amacele e-alithare. 20 Wayiqumaquma inqama leyo wasethatha inhloko yayo lamaqatha akhona lamafutha* wakutshisa kwathunqa phezu kwe-alithare. 21 Wasethatha amanzi wagezisa amathumbu lamangqina njalo wayitshisa yonke inqama yathunqa e-alithareni. Lo kwakungumnikelo wokutshiswa oloqhatshi olumnandi, umnikelo otshiselwa uJehova ngomlilo, njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.

22 Ngemva kwalokho uMosi waletha inqama yesibili, inqama yokubekwa kwabaphristi,+ u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo ekhanda layo.+ 23 UMosi wayihlaba wasethatha elinye igazi layo walininda endlebeni ka-Aroni esesandleni sokudla, lasesithupheni sakhe sesandla sokudla kanye lasezwaneni lwakhe olukhulu enyaweni lwesokudla. 24 Ngemva kwalokho uMosi wasondeza amadodana ka-Aroni waseninda ngamunye wabo igazi endlebeni esesandleni sokudla, lasesithupheni sesandla sokudla lasezwaneni olukhulu enyaweni lwesokudla. Elinye lonke igazi eliseleyo walifafaza kuwo wonke amacele e-alithare.+

25 Wasethatha amafutha, amafutha asemsileni, lawo wonke amafutha asemathunjini, lamafutha aphezu kwesibindi, lezinso ezimbili lamafutha azo kanye lomlenze wesokudla.+ 26 Wathatha lesinkwa esisodwa esingelamvubelo esiyisigombolozi+ lesinkwa esisodwa esiyisigombolozi esigcotshwe amafutha+ lesinkwa esiyisipatalala phakathi kwebhasikiti yesinkwa esingelamvubelo ephambi kukaJehova. Wathatha izinto lezi wazibeka phezu kwamafutha lomlenze wesokudla. 27 Ngemva kwalokho wakuthatha konke lokhu wakufaka ezandleni zika-Aroni lasezandleni zamadodana akhe basebeqalisa ukukuzunguza kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kukaJehova. 28 UMosi wasethatha izinto lezi ezandleni zabo wazitshisa zathunqa e-alithareni phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa. Kwaba ngumhlatshelo wokubekwa kwabo oloqhatshi olumnandi, umnikelo otshiselwa uJehova ngomlilo.

29 UMosi wasethatha isifuba senqama wasizunguza saba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kukaJehova.+ Saba yisabelo sikaMosi esithethwe enqameni yokubekwa njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuye.+

30 UMosi wasethatha amanye amafutha angcwele+ lelinye igazi elalise-alithareni wakufafaza ku-Aroni lasezigqokweni zakhe lasemadodaneni akhe ayelaye lasezigqokweni zawo. Ngakho wangcwelisa u-Aroni lezigqoko zakhe kanye lamadodana akhe+ lezigqoko zawo.+

31 Ngemva kwalokho uMosi wakhuluma lo-Aroni lamadodana akhe wathi: “Xhwathisani+ inyama emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, liyidlele khonapho kanye lesinkwa esisebhasikitini yokubekwa kwabaphristi njengoba nje ngitsheliwe ukuthi, ‘U-Aroni lamadodana akhe yibo abazayidla.’+ 32 Inyama lesinkwa okuzasala kumele likutshise ngomlilo.+ 33 Akumelanga lisuke emnyango wetende lokuhlangana okwamalanga ayisikhombisa, aze aphele amalanga okubekwa kwenu ngoba kuzathatha amalanga ayisikhombisa ukuthi libekwe ukuba ngabaphristi.+ 34 UJehova uthe senze lokhu esikwenzileyo lamuhla ukuze lihlawulelwe.+ 35 Kumele lihlale emnyango wetende lokuhlangana okwamalanga ayisikhombisa,+ lenze lokho uJehova akukhangelele kini+ ukuze lingafi ngoba lokhu yikho engikutsheliweyo.”

36 U-Aroni lamadodana akhe bakwenza konke uJehova ayetshele uMosi ukuthi bakwenze.
