¹ Lapho abantu bebona ukuthi uMose wayengehli entabeni, abantu babuthana ku-Aroni, bathi kuye: “Sukuma, usenzele onkulunkulu abaya kuhamba phambi kwethu; ngoba uMozisi lo, indoda eyasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.

² U-Aroni wayesethi kubo: “Khumulani amacici egolide asezindlebeni zabafazi benu, amadodana enu namadodakazi enu, niwalethe kimi.

³ Bonke abantu bagqabula amacici egolide ayesezindlebeni zabo, bawaletha ku-Aroni.

⁵ U-Aroni wakubona, walakhela i-altare; u-Aroni wamemeza wathi: Kusasa kungumkhosi weNkosi.

⁶ Bavuka ekuseni ngakusasa banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa, banikela ngeminikelo yokubonga; isixuku sahlala phansi ukuba sidle, siphuze, sasukuma ukuba sidlale.

⁷ UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Hamba, wehle; ngoba abantu bakho owabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe bazichithile.

⁸ Baphambuka masinyane endleleni engabayala ngayo, bazenzela ithole elibunjiwe, balikhonza, balihlabela, bathi: “Naba onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphulile.” izwe laseGibhithe.

⁹ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngibabonile lababantu; khangela, bangabantu abanenkani.

¹⁰ Ngakho ake ngime, ukuze intukuthelo yami ibavuthele, ngibaqede; ngiyakukwenza isizwe esikhulu.

¹¹ UMose wamncenga uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, wathi: “Jehova, ulaka lwakho luvuthelani abantu bakho owabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe ngamandla amakhulu nangesandla esinamandla na?

¹² Kungani amaGibhithe azakhuluma athi: Nguye owabakhupha ebubini ukuze ababulalele ezintabeni futhi abaqede emhlabeni? Phenduka olakeni lwakho futhi uphenduke kulobu bubi obumelene nabantu bakho.

¹³ Cabanga ngezinceku zakho o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, no-Israyeli, owazifunga kubo, wathi kubo: ‘Ngiyakwandisa inzalo yenu ibe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu, ngininike lonke leli zwe engakhuluma ngalo inzalo. Bayakulidla ifa kuze kube phakade.

¹⁴ UJehova wazisola ngobubi ayecabanga ukubenza kubantu bakhe.

¹⁵ UMose waphenduka wehla entabeni, izibhebhe zombili zobufakazi zisesandleni sakhe; amatafula ayechazwe nhlangothi zombili; kulotshiwe ngalapha nangalapha.

¹⁶ Izibhebhe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, nombhalo wawungumbhalo kaNkulunkulu, uqoshwe ezibhebheni.

¹⁷ Lapho uJoshuwa ezwa umsindo wabantu bekhamuluka, wathi kuMose: “Kukhona impi ekamu.

¹⁸ Wathi: “Leli akulona izwi lalabo abamemeza ngokubusa, futhi leli akulona izwi lalabo abakhala ngoba bekhungathekile; kodwa ngizwa umsindo wabahlabelelayo.

¹⁹ Wathi esondela ekamu, wabona ithole nokusina, intukuthelo kaMose yavutha, waphonsa izibhebhe ezandleni zakhe, waziphihliza phansi kwentaba.

²⁰ Wathatha ithole ababelenzile, walishisa ngomlilo, walichoboza, walifafaza phezu kwamanzi, wabaphuzisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

²¹ UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Lababantu benzeni kuwe ukuthi uzehlisele phezu kwabo isono esikhulu kangaka?

²² U-Aroni wathi: “Intukuthelo yenkosi yami mayingavuthi;

²³ Ngoba bathi kimi: Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu; ngoba uMozisi lo, indoda eyasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.

²⁴ Ngasengisithi kubo: Bonke abanegolide kabalidilize. Base benginika yona; ngase ngiwuphonsa emlilweni, kwaphuma leli thole.

²⁵ Lapho uMose ebona ukuthi abantu babenqunu; ngokuba u-Aroni wabanqunula, kwaba yihlazo phakathi kwezitha zabo.

²⁶ UMose wema esangweni lekamu, wathi: “Ngubani ongakuJehova na? akeze kimi. Wonke amadodana kaLevi abuthana kuye.

²⁷ Wathi kubo: “Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ithi: ‘Bekani, kube yilowo nalowo inkemba yakhe eceleni kwakhe, ningene, niphume esangweni, niye esangweni, phakathi kwekamu lonke, nibulale, kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo, kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo. Umngane, ngulowo lalowo umakhelwane wakhe.

²⁸ Abantwana bakwaLevi benza njengezwi likaMose; kwawa ngalolo suku kubantu kungathi izinkulungwane ezintathu.

²⁹ Ngokuba uMose wathi: “Zibonakaliseni namuhla kuJehova, kube yilowo nalowo endodaneni yakhe nakumfowabo; ukuze akuphe isibusiso lamuhla.

³⁰ Kwathi ngangomuso uMose wathi kubantu: “Nenze isono esikhulu; manje ngizokhuphukela eNkosini; mhlawumbe ngizakuhlawulela isono senu.

³¹ UMose wabuyela kuJehova, wathi: “Awu, laba bantu benzile isono esikhulu, bazenzela onkulunkulu begolide.

³² Kodwa manje, uma ufuna ukubathethelela isono sabo—; uma kungenjalo, ngesule encwadini yakho oyilobile.

³³ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Wonke owonayo kimi, ngizamesula encwadini yami.

³⁴ Hamba manje, uhole abantu, ubayise endaweni engakhuluma ngayo kuwe; bheka, iNgelosi yami ihamba phambi kwakho; kepha mhla ngibahambela, ngiyakubahambela ngesono sabo.

³⁵ INkosi yasibahlupha abantu, ngoba belenzile ithole uAroni alenzileyo.
