Oil, Bread, and Blasphemy

¹Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,"

²Bawisele umthetho oonyana bakaSirayeli, bathabathe bazise kuwe ioli eqaqambileyo yeminquma engqushiweyo yesikhanyiso, ukuba kumiswe isibane samaxesha onke."

³Nganeno komkhusane wesingqino, ententeni yokuhlangana, wohlala ezicwangcisa uAron izibane phambi koYehova, kuthabathela ngokuhlwa kuzise ekuseni: ngummiselo ongunaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu."

⁴Wohlala ezicwangcisa izibane esiphathweni sezibane esicocekileyo phambi koYehova."

⁵Uze uthabathe umgubo ocoliweyo, uwose ube yimiqhathane elishumi elinamibini, umqhathane omnye ube zizahlulo ezibini zesishumi."

⁶Uze uyikrozise ngemikrozo emibini, ibe mithandathu mkrozweni mnye, etafileni ecocekileyo ephambi koYehova;"

⁷ubeke intlaka emhlophe eqaqambileyo phezu komkrozo ngamnye, ibe sisikhumbuzo sesonka, ukudla kwasemlilweni kuYehova."

⁸Wohlala eyicwangcisa phambi koYehova ngemihla yonke yesabatha, ivela koonyana bakaSirayeli: ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade."

⁹Yoba yeka-Aron noonyana bakhe, bayidle endaweni engcwele; kuba yingcwele kangcwele kuye, ivela ekudleni kwasemlilweni kukaYehova: ngummiselo ongunaphakade."

¹⁰Ke kaloku kwaphuma unyana womSirayelikazi phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli; waye engunyana womYiputa. Lo nyana womSirayelikazi nomfo wakwaSirayeli bantlalana eminqubeni,"

¹¹unyana womSirayelikazi lowo walithuka iGama, watshabhisa. Bamzisa kuMoses (igama lonina lalinguShelomiti, intombi kaDibri, wesizwe sakwaDan)."

¹²Bamfaka elugcinweni, bade babahlulele loo nto ngokomlomo kaYehova."

¹³Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,"

¹⁴Mkhupheni lowo utshabhisileyo, abe ngaphandle kweminquba; bonke abo bamvileyo bacinezele ngezandla zabo entlokweni yakhe, limxulube ngamatye lonke ibandla."

¹⁵Uze uthethe koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi, Umntu ngomntu, xa athe wamtshabhisa uThixo wakhe, wosithwala isono sakhe."

¹⁶Olithukayo igama likaYehova makabulawe afe. Lonke ibandla lomxuluba okunene ngamatye, kwanomphambukeli, kwanozalelwe ekhaya; ekulithukeni kwakhe iGama makabulawe."

¹⁷Umntu othe wabetha umntu wafa, nokuba nguwuphi, makabulawe afe."

¹⁸Obethe inkomo yafa, woyimisela; umphefumlo ngomphefumlo."

¹⁹Umntu xa athe wamlimaza ummelwane wakhe, njengoko enze ngako, makwenziwe ngako kuye:"

²⁰ukwaphulwa ngokwaphulwa, iliso ngeliso, izinyo ngezinyo. Njengoko amlimazileyo umntu, makwenziwe ngoko kuye."

²¹Obethe inkomo yafa, woyimisela; ke obethe umntu wafa makabulawe."

²²Masibe sinye isigwebo senu kumphambukeli nakozalelwe ekhaya; ngokuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu."

²³Wathetha uMoses koonyana bakaSirayeli; bamkhuphela phandle kweminquba lowo utshabhisileyo, bamxuluba ngamatye. Benza oonyana bakaSirayeli njengoko uYehova wamwisela umthetho uMoses."
