UJakobe wayesemisa insika endaweni lapho abekhulume naye khona , insika yetshe ; wathela phezu kwayo umnikelo wokuphuzwa , wathela namafutha phezu kwayo.

Lapho sezingene eziswini zazo, akwabonakala ukuthi zingene eziswini zazo; zazisabukeka zizimbi njengakuqala. Ngase ngiphaphama.

Wathi: Bhekani, ngizwile ukuthi kukhona amabele eGibithe ; yehlani, niye lapho, nisithengele khona, ukuze siphile, singafi.

Ngiyakunika lesi sizwe umusa emehlweni abaseGibith e, kuze kuthi lapho nisuka, aniyikuhamba ningaphethe lutho,

UJehova wathi futhi kuye : Faka isandla sakho esifubeni sakho . Wayesefaka isandla sakhe esifubeni sakhe ; lapho esesikhipha , bheka, isandla sakhe sasinochoko, sinjengeqhwa.

UMose wayesethi kuJehova : Nkosi, angizange ngibe ngumuntu oyiqaphuqaphu, nakuqala namanje lapho usukhulumile encekwini yakho , ngokuba umlomo wami unzima, unamalimi.

Hambani nina , nizifunele utshani , lapho ningabuthola khona , ngokuba imisebenzi yenu ayiyikuncishiswa ngalutho.

Izinduna zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli zabona ukuthi basekuhlup hekeni, lapho kuthiwa : Aniyikunciphisa izitini zenu esilinganisweni semihla ngemihla.

Futhi ngamisa isivumelwano sami nabo ukuyobanika izwe laseKhanani, izwe lokugogobala kwabo, lapho bebegogobala khona.

Igazi liyakuba luphawu lwenu ezindlini lapho nikhona ; nanxa ngibona igazi, ngiyakudlula kini, ningehlelwa yisifo soku nibhubhisa, lapho ngibulala izwe laseGibithe.

Kuyakuthi lapho senifike ezweni uJehova azakuninika lona njengesithembiso sakhe, niyakugcina inkonzo yakhe.

UFaro wavuka ebusuku , yena nezinceku zakhe zonke , nabo bonke abaseGibithe; kwaba khona ukukhala okukhulu eGibithe , ngokuba kwakungekhondlu, lapho kungafanga muntu khona.

Kuyakuthi lapho uJehova esezakukungenisa ezweni lamaKhanani , njengalokho wafunga kuwe nakoyihlo, akuphe lona,

Kuyakuthi lapho indodana yakho ikubuza ngesikhathi esizayo , ithi: Kuyini lokhu? wothi kuyo : Ngesandla esinamandla uJehova wasikhipha eGibithe , indlu yobugqila.

Wayesekhala kuJehova ; uJehova wambonisa umuthi ; wawuphonsa emanzini, amanzi aba mtoti . Wabamisela khona isimiso nomthetho ; wabavivinya lapho,

Bafika e -Elimi, lapho kwakukhona imithombo eyishumi nambili yamanzi namasundu angamashumi ayisikhombisa; bamisa khona ngasemanzini.

Abantwana bakw a-Israyeli bathi kubo : Sengathi nga safa ngesandla sikaJehova ezweni laseGibithe , lapho sasihlezi ngasemakhanzini enyama , sidla isinkwa sisutha, ngokuba nisiphumisele kuleli hlane ukuyobulala lonke leli bandla ngendlala. Abantu basuthiswa ngezigwaca nangemana*

UMose wathi : Lokhu kuzakwenzeka , lapho uJehova eyakuninika inyama kusihlwa ukuba nidle , nasekuseni isinkwa ukuze nisuthe ; ngokuba uJehova uyezwa izinkonono zenu enikhonona ngaye ng azo; thina siyini? Izinkonono zenu azingathi, zingoJehova.

Lapho sebelinganisa ngeyomere , yena owayebut he okuningi akabanga nokuseleyo, nowayebuthe okuyingcosana akaswelanga . Yilowo nalowo wabutha njengokudla kwakhe.

Masivuke ekuseni, siye ezivinini, sibone uma umvini uqhakazile , nezimbali zawo uma zivulekile, namapomegranati uma ekhahlele. Lapho ngiyakukunika uthando lwami.

Ngubani owenyuka ehlane encike kothandiweyo wakhe na? Umakoti: Phansi komapula ngakuvusa ; lapho unyoko wayenemihelo ngawe , khona lapho wayenemihelo owakuzalayo.

Lapho nifika ukubona ubuso bami , ngubani okubize lokhu esandleni sen u ukuba ninyathele amagceke ami na?

UJetiro umukhwe kaMose wafika namadodana akhe nomkakhe kuMose ehlane, lapho wayemise khona ngasentabeni kaNkulunkulu.

Abantu bema kude ; uMose wasondela ebumnyameni obunzima , lapho ekhona uNkulunkulu. Umthetho we-altare

Wongenzela i -altare lomhlabathi , unikele phezu kwalo iminikelo yakho yokushiswa neminikelo yakho yokuthula , izimvu zakho nezinkomo zakho ; ezindaweni zonke lapho ngilenza ukuba likhunjulwe khona igama lami , ngiyakuza kuwe, ngikubusise.

nomkhosi wokuvuna wolibo lwemisebenzi yakho oyihlwanyelayo ensimini , nomkhosi wokubutha ngasekupheleni komnyaka , lapho ubutha imisebenzi yakho ensimini.

Imihla yonke wonikela ngen kunzi, ibe ngumnikelo wesono , ube ngowokubuyisana, uhlambulule i -altare, lapho ulenzela ukubuyisana , uligcobe ukuba ulingcwelise.

Lo uyakuba ngumnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke ezizukulwaneni zenu ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana phambi kukaJehova , lapho ngiyakuhlangana khona nani, ngikhulume khona kuwe.

Lapho ngiy akuhlangana nabantwana bakwa -Israyeli; liyakungcweliswa yinkazimulo yami.

Ulibeke phambi kwesihenqo esingasemphongolweni wobufakazi , ngaphambi kwesihlalo somusa esiphezu kobufakazi , lapho ngiyakuhlangana khona nawe.

Nxa ubala inani labantwana bakwa -Israyeli ngokwalabo ababalwayo , yilowo nalowo kubo makathele kuJehova ihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe , lapho ubabalayo, ukuba kungabikho sifo phakathi kwabo, nxa ubabala.

Ocebileyo akayikunika kakhulu , ompofu angatheli kancane kunenxenye yeshekeli, lapho benikela ngomnikelo kuJehova ukuba kwenzelwe ukubuyisana kwemiphefumulo yenu.

ucolisise enye , uyibeke phambi kobufakazi etendeni lokuhlangana , lapho ngiyakuhlangana khona nawe, ibe ngcwelengcwele kini.

UJehova wehla ngefu, wema naye lapho, wamemezela igama likaJehova.

Washisa lapho impepho yamakha athaphukayo , njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

Njalo lapho ifu lenyuswa etabernakele , abantwana bakwa -Israyeli baqhubekela phambili ezinkambeni zabo zonke.

yebo, yonke inkunzi uyakuyikhiphela ngaphandle kwekamu , ayiyise endaweni ehlambulukileyo lapho uthululwa khona umlotha.

lapho isono abone ngaso sesaziwe , ibandla liyakunikela ngeduna libe ngumnikelo wesono, lililethe phambi kwetende lokuhlangana.

Iyakubeka isandla sayo enhloko yembuzi , iyihlabele endaweni lapho behlabela khona iminikelo yokushiswa phambi kukaJehova ; kungumnikelo wesono.

Uyakubeka isandla sakhe enhloko yomnikelo wesono , awuhlabe, ube ngumnikelo wesono endaweni lapho behlabela khona umnikelo wokushiswa.

Uma umuntu ona lapho ezwa izwi lesifungo , engufakazi wokuthile, noma ekubonile noma ekwazi, engakusho nokho, khona wothwala ububi bakhe;

Noma ethinta ukungcola komuntu , nakuba yikuphi ukungcola kwakhe angcole ngakho, kumsithele, lapho esekwazi woba necala.

Noma umuntu efunga ngamawala ngomlomo wakhe ukwenza okubi nokuba ukwenza okuhle , noma yikuphi umuntu angaphahluka ngakho ngesifungo , kumsithele, lapho esekwazi woba necala kokunye kwalokho.

Kuyakuthi lapho enecala kokunye kwalokho, avume lokho one ngakho,

noma, lapho ethola into elahlekileyo , eyiphika, afunge amanga , noma yikuphi kukho konke lokhu umuntu akwenzayo one ngakho,

Konke okuyakuthinta inyama yawo kuyakuba ngcwele; nxa ingubo ifafazwa ngegazi lawo, lapho kufafazwe khona uyakukugeza endaweni engcwele.

Lapho nelula izandla zenu , ngiyakufihla kini amehlo ami ; yebo, lapho nenza imikhuleko eminingi, angiyikuzwa; izandla zenu zigcwele igazi.

Bayakungena emihumeni yamadwala nasemigodini yomhlab a ngokwesabeka kukaJehova nangodumo lobukhosi bakhe , lapho evuka ukushaya umhlaba ngovalo.

ukuze bangene emihumeni yamadwal a nasemifantwini yeziw a ngokwesabeka kukaJehova nangodumo lobukhosi bakhe , lapho evuka ukushaya umhlaba ngovalo.

Kepha umthombo nomgodi lapho amanzi eqoqene khona uyakube uhlambulukile, kodwa okuthinta izidumbu zazo kuyakuba ngokungcolile.

Kuyakuthi lapho senifikile ezweni laseKhanani engininika lona libe yifa lenu, ngifake isifo sochoko endlini yezwe eniliphiweyo,

Kanjalo niyakwahlukanisa abantwana bakwa -Israyeli nokungcola kwabo ukuba bangafi ekungcoleni kwabo , lapho bengcolisa itabernakele lami eliphakathi kwabo.

Uma abantu balelo zwe besitheza kancane amehlo abo kulowo muntu, lapho enikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki, bangambulali,

Ngalokho anogcina zonke izimiso zami , nazo zonke izahlulelo zami , nizenze ukuba izwe lapho nginiyisa khona ukuba nihlale kulo linganihlanzi.

bangabethwesi ububi obutholisa icala , lapho bedla izinto zabo ezingcwele ; ngokuba nginguJehova obangcwelisayo. Imithetho yemihlatshelo

Kepha ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga yesikhombisa, lapho senibuthile izithelo zezwe , anogcina umkhosi kaJehova izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; ngosuku lokuqala makube ngukuphumula okuzothileyo , nangosuku lwesishiyagalombili kube ngukuphumula okuzothileyo.

Ngesikhathi lihlezi lichithekile liyakuphumula , lokho kuphumula elalingenakho ngamasabatha enu, lapho nanisahlezi kulo.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: Nxa umuntu enza isithembiso esithile, lapho uyakulinganisa abantu kuJehova,

Nxa u -Aroni namadodana akhe sebeqedile ukusibekela indlu engcwele nempahla yonke ye ndlu engcwele, lapho ikamu liyakusuka , emva kwalokho amadodana kaKohati ayakufika ukukuthwala , kepha awayikuthinta okungcwele, funa afe . Lezo zinto zingumthwalo wamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana.

kepha ukuba baphile , bangafi, lapho besondela ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele, nenze kanje kubo : u-Aroni namadodana akhe bayakungena, babamise, kube yilowo nalowo emsebenzini wakhe nasemthwalweni wakhe;

umpristi uyakufungisa owesifazane ngesifungo sesiqalekiso , umpristi athi kowesifazane: UJehova makakwenze isiqalekiso nesifungo phakathi kwabantu bakini, lapho uJehova eshwabanisa ithanga lakho , avuvukalise isisu sakho.

Lowo ungumthetho wesikhwele, lapho umfazi esephansi kwendoda yakhe eduka, angcoliswe,

noma lapho indoda ifikelwa ngumoya wesik hwele, ibe nesikhwele ngomkayo; khona iyakumbeka owesifazane phambi kukaJehova , umpristi agcine wonke lo mthetho kuye.

Nanku umthetho womNaziri lapho izinsuku zobuNaziri bakhe seziphelele wokuthi uyakulethwa emnyango wetende lokuhlangana,

izinkomo zonke zomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula zaziyizinkunzi ezingamashumi amabili nane , nezinqama ezingamashumi ayisithupha , nezimpongo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, nezimvu zamaduna ezingamashumi ayisithupha. Lokho kwakungukwahlukaniselwa kwe -altare; lapho lase ligcotshiwe.

Ngiwanikile amaLevi abe yisipho sika -Aroni nesamadodana akhe esivela kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukusebenza umsebenzi wabantwana bakwa - Israyeli etendeni lokuhlangana nokwenzela abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ukubuyisana, ukuze kungabikho sifo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli, lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli besondela endlini engcwele.

Nalapho ifu lenyuswa etendeni , base behamba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, nasendaweni lapho ifu lalima khona, lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamisa khona.

Nangesinye isikhathi ifu lahlala kusihlwa kwaze kwaba sekuseni ; nalapho ifu lenyuswa ekusen i, bahamba; noma lahlala ubusuku nemini , bahamba lapho ifu lenyuswa.

Noma kwakuyizinsuku ezimbili , noma inyanga , noma isikhathi esingakanani ifu lisahlezi phezu kwetabernakele , abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlala ekamu, abahambanga; kepha lapho lenyuswa, bahamba.

Kepha lapho liyakubuthwa ibandla , niyakubetha, ningahlabi umkhosi kodwa.

Lapho umuntu eyakubamba umfowabo endlini kayise ethi: Wena unengubo, yiba ngumbusi wethu, le ncithakalo ibe phansi kwesandla sakho,

lapho iNkosi igezile insila yamadodakazi aseJerusalema, nalapho isihlanzile igazi laseJerusalema phakathi kwalo ngomoya wokwahlulela nangomoya wokushisa.

Nga kwenziwani futhi esivinini sami engingakwenzanga kuso na ? Kungani ukuba lapho ngithembe ukuthi siyakuthela izithelo zomvini , saveza izithelo zasendle, na?

Ifu likaJehova laliphezu kwabo emini, lapho besuka ekamu. Umkhuleko kaMose

kuyakuthi, lapho nidla isinkwa sezwe , ninikele ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova.

Uyakuzibekela etendeni lokuhlangana ngaphambi kobufakazi , lapho ngihlangana khona nawe.

Aniyikuthwala sono ngenxa yakho , lapho seniphakamisile okuhle kwakho , ningahlambalazi izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba ningafi.

Kwakungekho manzi lapho kuy o inhlangano ; babahlanganyela oMose no - Aroni.

lapho sakhala kuJehova , walizwa izwi lethu , wathuma ingelosi , wasikhipha eGi bithe; bheka sesiseKadeshi , umuzi oseceleni komkhawulo wakho;

Lapho inhlangano yonke ibona ukuthi u -Aroni ufile , bamlilela u -Aroni izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu, yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli.

UJehova wathi kuMose : Zenzele inyoka enesihlungu , uyibeke ensikeni ; kuyakuthi yilowo nalowo olunywayo, lapho eyibheka, uyakusinda.

UMose wenza inyoka yethusi , wayibeka ensikeni ; kwathi lapho inyoka imlumile umuntu, uma ebeyibheka inyoka yethusi, wasinda.

Basuka lapho, bamisa esiGodini saseZeredi.

Basuka lapho , bamisa ngaphesheya kwe -Arinoni elisehlane , elivela emkhawulweni wama -Amori, ngokuba i -Arinoni lingumkhawulo welakwaMowabi, phakathi kwelakwaMowabi nama-Amori.

Basuka lapho , baya eBeri ; lokhu kungumthom bo asho ngawo uJehova kuMose, wathi: Butha abantu, ngibaphe amanzi.

Nanxa ngiya nginilungisela indawo , ngobuye ngize , nginibuyisele kimi ukuba lapho ngikhona nibe khona nani.
