UNumeri 4 Imisebenzi yenkonzo yamaLevi

¹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi:

² Bala inani lamadodana kaKohati emadodaneni kaLevi, ngensendo zawo, ngezindlu zawoyise,

³ kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu langaphezulu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu, bonke abangena empini ukwenza umsebenzi ethenteni lenhlangano.

⁴ Lena iyakuba yinkonzo yamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana mayelana nezinto ezingcwelengcwele.

⁵ Lapho ikamu lisuka, u-Aroni namadodana akhe kumelwe beze, bakhumule isembozo bamboze umphongolo wobufakazi ngaso.

⁶ Ubeke phezu kwayo isigubungelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, wendlala phezu kwayo indwangu ebubende yodwa, ufake izinti zayo.

⁷ Phezu kwetafula lesinkwa sokubukwa kumelwe bendlala indwangu ebubende babeke phezu kwalo izitsha nezinkezo nezitsha nezitsha zokubeka phezu kwazo; nesinkwa saphakade kumelwe sibe phezu kwayo.

⁸ Bayakwendlala phezu kwayo indwangu ebomvu, bayimboze ngesigubungelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, bafake izinti zayo.

⁹ Bayakuthatha indwangu ebubende bamboze uthi lwesibani lwesibani, nezibani zalo, nezindlawu zalo, nezitsha zalo, nezitsha zalo zamafutha abakhonza ngazo kulo.

¹⁰ Bazakubeka kanye nazo zonke izinto zaso eyisibekelelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, bakubeke phezu kodondolo.

¹¹ Phezu kwe-altare legolide bayakwendlala indwangu ebubende balimboze ngesikhumba samatahasi, balinamathisele ezintini zalo.

¹² Kumelwe bathathe zonke izinto zokukhonza abakhonza ngazo endlini engcwele bazifake endwangwini ebubende bazimboze ngesembozo sezikhumba zamatahasi bazibeke odondolweni.

¹³ Kumelwe basuse umlotha e-altare futhi bendlala indwangu ebubende phezu kwalo.

¹⁴ Kumelwe babeke zonke izinto zakhe abakhonza ngazo phezu kwalo, imicengezi yomlilo, namakhona enyama namafosholo nezitsha, zonke izinto ze-altare; bayakwendlala phezu kwalo isembozo sezikhumba zamatahasi, balinamathisele ezintini zalo.

¹⁵ Lapho u-Aroni namadodana akhe sebeqedile ukumboza indlu engcwele nazo zonke izinto zendlu engcwele lapho ikamu kumelwe lisuke; emva kwalokho amadodana kaKohati ayakufika ukulithwala; kodwa akumelwe bathinte lutho olungcwele, funa bafe. Lezi zinto zingumthwalo wamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana.

¹⁶ Esikhundleni sika-Eleyazare indodana ka-Aroni umpristi, amafutha othi lwesibani, nempepho yamakha, nomnikelo wokudla wansuku zonke, namafutha okugcoba, nokuqondisa kwetabernakele lonke, nakho konke okukulo ethempelini. Indawo engcwele nasezintweni zayo.

¹⁷ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi:

¹⁸ Ungasinqumi isizwe semindeni yamaKohati phakathi kwamaLevi.

¹⁹ Kodwa yenzani njalo kubo, ukuze baphile, bangafi, ekusondeleni kwabo ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele: uAroni lamadodana akhe bazangena, babamise, kube yilowo lalowo emsebenzini wakhe lomthwalo wakhe.

²⁰ Kodwa akumelwe bangene ukuze babone lapho izinto ezingcwele zisitshekelwe, funa bafe.

²¹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

²² bala amadodana kaGereshoni ngemindeni yawo ngezizukulwane zawo;

²³ kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amathathu kuya phezulu kuya kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amahlanu kumelwe uwabale; bonke abangena ukwenza inkonzo, ukwenza umsebenzi etendeni lokuhlangana.

²⁴ Lona ungumsebenzi wezizukulwane zamaGereshoni ukukhonza nokuthwala.

²⁵ Bayakuthwala izindwangu zetabernakele, netende lokuhlangana, nesembozo salo, nesembozo sezikhumba eziphezu kwalo, nesifulelo somnyango wetende lokuhlangana,

²⁶ nezilenge zegceke, nezilenge zomnyango wesango legceke elingasetabernakele nase-altare nxazonke, nezintambo zazo, nezinto zonke zenkonzo yabo, nakho konke okwakhelwe kona. Bona: kanjalo bayakukhonza.

²⁷ Ngokumisa kuka-Aroni namadodana akhe, yonke inkonzo yamadodana amaGereshoni iyakuba kuyo yonke imithwalo yawo nakuyo yonke inkonzo yawo;

²⁸ Lona ngumsebenzi wenkonzo ezizukulwaneni zamadodana kaGereshoni etendeni lokuhlangana; inkonzo yawo ingaphansi kwesandla sika-Itamari indodana ka-Aroni umpristi.

²⁹ Ngokuqondene namadodana kaMerari, kumelwe niwabale ngezizukulwane zawo ngemindeni yawo;

³⁰ kusukela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, kuya phezulu, kuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu ezelwe, wobabala bonke abangena enkonzweni ukwenza umsebenzi wetende lokuhlangana.

³¹ Lena yinkonzo yomthwalo wabo ngokwenkonzo yabo yonke etendeni lokuhlangana; izinsika zetabernakele, nemishayo yalo, nezinsika zalo, nezinyawo zalo;

³² nezinsika zegceke nxazonke, nezinyawo zazo, nezikhonkwane zazo, nezintambo zazo, nazo zonke izinto zazo, nawo wonke umsebenzi wazo wenkonzo;

³³ Lena yinkonzo yezizukulwane zamadodana kaMerari ngomsebenzi wawo wonke etendeni lokuhlangana ngaphansi kwesandla sika-Ithamari indodana ka-Aroni umpristi.

³⁴ OMose no-Aroni nezikhulu zenhlangano babala amadodana amaKohati ngemindeni yawo nangezindlu zawoyise;
