Iqama aliletha njengomhlabelo wehlawulo alibe nobungako besiliva obubekwa mphristi. 7Ngendlela leyo umphristi uzabe enzela umuntu loyo itethelelo kuSomnini. Ngalokho uzakuhlambuluka kinanyana ngiyiphi yezinto okuthi umuntu nakayenzileko abe nomlandu.”
Umyalo wabaphristi mayelana nomhlabelo wokutjhiswa
8USomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi 9akayale u-Aroni namadodanakhe athi: “Naku umyalo womhlabelo wokutjhiswa: Umhlabelo wokutjhiswa kufuze uhlale ezikweni le-aldari ubusuku boke, godu nomlilo uhlale uvutha phezu kwe-aldari. Ekuseni 10umphristi embathe iphuraphurakhe yelineni, athekeleze nedzeredzere ngaphasi kwayo, akhuphe umlotha womhlabelo wokutjhiswa otjhiswe mlilo phezu kwe-aldari awuthululele eqadi kwalo. 11Uzabese uhlubula izambatho zakhe afake ezinye. Nje-ke uzakuwola umlotha ayowulahlela ngaphandle kwekampa endaweni ekhethekileko. 12Awuhlale uvutha umlilo phezu kwe-aldari, ungacimi. Njalo ekuseni umphristi kufuze abaselele umlilo abese ulungisa umhlabelo wokutjhiswa phezu kwawo, godu atjhise nemihlwehlwe yemihlabelo yetjhebiswano emlilweni lowo. 13Iye, umlilo kufuze uhlale uvutha njalo phezu kwe-aldari, ungacimi.”
Umyalo wabaphristi mayelana nomnikelo weenthoro
14“Naku umyalo womnikelo weenthoro: Amadodana ka-Aroni kufuze alethe umnikelo lowo kuSomnini ngaphambi kwe-aldari. 15Umphristi uzakunghwatha isandla seflowuru esefiweko enamafutha we-oliva kanye namakha woke aphezu komnikelo weenthoro. Koke uzakutjhisa e-aldarini kube sisabelo sesikhumbuzo. Lokho kumnikelo owamukeleka kuSomnini. 16U-Aroni namadodanakhe bazakudla koke okuseleko. Kufuze kudliwe kunganangumelo endaweni ecwengileko ngesirhodlweni setende lokuhlanganela. 17Kungaphekwa ngengumelo. Ngikunikele abaphristi bona kube sisabelo sabo. Njengomhlabelo wehlambululo newehlawulo umnikelo lowo ungocwenge khulu ngombana bewulethwa njengomnikelo okhethekileko kuSomnini. 18Boke abaduna baka-Aroni bangakudla. Eminikelweni ekhethekileko kuSomnini lokhu kuzakuba sisabelo sabo sanini nanini eenzukulwaneni ezizako. Nanyana yini ethinta umnikelo lowo izakuba ngecwengileko.”
19Godu uSomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi: 20“Naku umnikelo ekufuze ulethwe ngu-Aroni namadodanakhe kuSomnini ngelanga azeswa ngalo: isitjhutjana seflowuru esefiweko kube mnikelo weenthoro wangemihla, ingcenye ekuseni nengcenye ngamarhwaqela. 21Awuhlanganiswe kuhle namafutha we-oliva, ubhagwe phezu kwedengela. Awuhletjhulwe ube ziinquqwana kube mnikelo owamukeleka kuSomnini. 22Awulungiswe yindodana ezakulandela u-Aroni esikhundleni sokuba mphristi ozesiweko. Umnikelo lowo utjhiswe woke ngombana ungokaSomnini isiphelani. 23Woke uminikelo weenthoro olethwa mphristi uzakutjhiswa ngokupheleleko, awungadliwa.”
