7 “ ‘Okungokwesikhulu kuyakuba ngalapha nangalapha komnikelo wokungcwele nefa lomuzi, phambi komnikelo wokungcwele naphambi kwefa lomuzi, ngasohlangothini lwasentshonalanga kubheke entshonalanga, nangasohlangothini lwasempumalanga kubheke empumalanga, ngobude kulingane nesinye sezabelo zezizwe, kusukela emkhawulweni wasentshonalanga kuze kube semkhawulweni wasempumalanga. 8Kuyakuba yifa laso ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, izikhulu zami zingasacindezeli abantu bami, kepha zinike indlu yakwa-Israyeli njengezizwe zayo.
9 “ ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Makwanele kini nina zikhulu zakwa-Israyeli; susani ubudlova nokuphanga, nenze ukwahlulela nokulunga, niyeke ukuxosha abantu bami, isho iNkosi uJehova. 10Niyakuba nezilinganiso ezilungileyo, ne-efa* elilungileyo, nebhati* elilungileyo. 11I-efa nebhati kuyakuba yisilinganiso sinye, ukuze ibhati lifumbathe okweshumi kwehomere,* ne-efa okweshumi kwehomere, isilinganiso salo sibe ngokwehomere. 12 Ishekeli* liyakuba ngamagera* angamashumi amabili; amashekeli angamashumi amabili, namashekeli angamashumi amabili nanhlanu, namashekeli ayishumi nanhlanu ayakuba yimane* kini.
13“ ‘Lokhu kungumnikelo eniyakunikela ngawo: inxenye yesithupha ye-efa lehomere likakolweni nenxenye yesithupha ye-efa lehomere lebhali,* 14namafutha anqunyiweyo, ibhati lamafutha: inxenye yeshumi yebhati lekhori* elingamabhati ayishumi njengehomere, ngokuba amabhati ayishumi ayihomere, 15newundlu linye ezimvini ezingamakhulu amabili zasemadlelweni anamanzi akwa-Israyeli, libe ngumnikelo wempuphu, nomnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wokuthula ukubenzela ukubuyisana, isho iNkosi uJehova. 16Bonke abantu bezwe bayakuba kulo mnikelo wesikhulu sakwa-Israyeli. 17Kuyakuba phezu kwesikhulu ukunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa, nangeminikelo yempuphu, nangeminikelo yokuphuzwa emikhosini, nasekwethwaseni kwenyanga, nangamasabatha emikhosini yonke emisiweyo yendlu yakwa-Israyeli, silungise umnikelo wesono, nomnikelo wempuphu, nomnikelo wokushiswa, neminikelo yokuthula ukwenzela indlu yakwa-Israyeli ukubuyisana.
18 “ ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, uyakuthatha inkunzi, iduna elingenasici, uhlambulule indlu engcwele. 19Umpristi uyakuthatha kulo igazi lomnikelo wesono, alibhece ezinsikeni zendlu, nasemagumbini omane onqenqema lwe-altare, nasezinsikeni zesango legceke elingaphakathi. 20 Uyakwenze njalo ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga ngaye wonke umuntu odukayo nongenalwazi, nenzele indlu ukubuyisana.
21 “ ‘Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga, niyakuba nephasika, umkhosi wezinsuku eziyisikhombisa, kudliwe isinkwa esingenamvubelo. 22 Ngalolo suku isikhulu siyakuzilungisela sona nabantu bonke bezwe inkunzi ibe ngumnikelo wesono. 23Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa zomkhosi siyakulungisela uJehova umnikelo wokushiswa, izinkunzi eziyisikhombisa nezinqama eziyisikhombisa ezingenasici imihla ngemihla ngalezo zinsuku eziyisikhombisa, kanye nempongo imihla ngemihla ibe ngumnikelo wesono. 24Siyakulungisela inkunzi umnikelo wempuphu, i-efa,* ne-efa ngenqama, nehini* lamafutha nge-efa.
25 “ ‘Ngenyanga yesikhombisa ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga emkhosini siyakwenza okunjengalezo zinsuku eziyisikhombisa, kunjengomnikelo wesono, nomnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wempuphu, namafutha.
