UNkulunkulu wamuzwa uLeya ; wakhulelwa, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesihlanu.

U-Aroni umpristi wakhuphukela entabeni yaseHori ngesiyalezo sikaJehova, wafela khona ngomnyaka wamashumi amane emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe, ngenyanga yesihlanu ngolokuqala lwenyanga.

Inkatho yesihlanu yadla isizwe sabantwana bakwa-Asheri ngemindeni yabo.

Ngenyanga yesihlanu ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga okwakungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalolunye wenkosi uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi , inceku yenkosi yaseBabele , eJerusalema.

Eyesihlanu ngenyanga yesihlanu kwakunguShamhuti umJizirahi ; esigabeni sakhe kwakukhona izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nane.

Wafika eJerusalema ngenyanga yesihlanu ngomnyaka wesikhombisa wenkosi.

Ngokuba ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala waqala ukukhuphuka eBabele; ngolokuqala lwenyanga yesihlanu wafika eJer usalema ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wakhe esasiphezu kwakhe,

lafika futhi ezinsukwini zikaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda, kuze kube sekupheleni komnyaka weshumi nanye kaSedekiya indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda , kuze kube sekuthunjweni kweJerusalema ngenyanga yesihlanu.

Kwathi ngawona lowo mnyaka ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda ngomnyaka wesine , ngenyanga yesihlanu , uHananiya indodana ka-Azuri, umprofethi waseGibeyoni , wakhuluma kimi endlini kaJehova phambi kwabapristi nabantu bonke, wathi:

Ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngolweshumi lwenyanga okwakungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyag alolunye wenkosi uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi , inceku yenkosi yaseBabele , eJerusalema.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesikhombisa , ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngolweshumi lwenyanga kwafika amadoda athile amalunga akwa -Israyeli ukuba abuze kuJehova; ahlala phambi kwami.

nokukhuluma kubapristi abasendlini kaJehova Sebawoti nakubaprofethi ngokuthi: Ngikhale ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngizile, njengalokho ngenzile le minyaka eminingi, na?

Khuluma kubo bonke abantu bezwe nakubo abapristi, uthi: Ekuzileni kwenu nasekulileni ngenyanga yesihlanu nangeyesikhombisa le minyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa nangizilela nokungizilela mina na?

Ingelosi yesihlanu yayisibetha ; ngase ngibona inkanyezi ivela ezulwini , iwela emhlabeni, yanikwa isihluthulelo somgodi wakwalasha.
