Nje-ke u-Abramu wamnikela koke kwetjhumi.+

22 Nje-ke ilitje engilibeke itshwayo lizokuba yindlu kaZimu+ begodu ngiyathembisa ukuthi ngizokunikela kwetjhumi kwakho koke ongiphe khona.”

21 “Nginikele amadodana kaLevi yoke ingcenye yetjhumi+ kwa-Israyeli bona ibe lilifa lawo ngebanga lomsebenzi awenza etendeni lokuhlangana.

26 “Tjela amaLevi uthi kiwo, ‘Nizokufumana ingcenye yetjhumi engininikela yona ivela kuma-Israyeli bona ibe lilifa lenu+ begodu kufuze nikhuphe ingcenye yetjhumi ninikele ngayo ibe mnikelo oya kuJehova.+

22 “Kufuze nikhuphe kwetjhumi kwaso soke isivuno senu umnyaka nomnyaka.+

5 Kwathi ngemva kokuthi kukhutjhwe umyalo, ama-Israyeli aletha okunengi kweenthelo zawo zokuthoma, zeenthoro, iwayini elitjha, amafutha,+ iliju nakho koke okufumaneka emasimini.+ Aletha kwetjhumi okunengi kwakho koke.+

12 Woke amaJuda aletha ngeenlulwini kwetjhumi+ kweenthoro, kwewayini elitjha nekwamafutha.+

10 Lethani koke kwetjhumi ngesilulwini,+ bona kube nokudla ngendlinami+ begodu ngibawa ningilinge kilokhu,” kutjho uJehova wamabutho “khona nizokubona ukuthi angeze nganivulela amasango weenkhukhula wezulwini,+ nginikghuthulele iimbusiso bekube kulapho ningasatlhogi litho.”+

42 Maye! Kini baFarisi ngombana ninikela kwetjhumi kweminti neruwe neminye imirorho+ kodwana nidelela ubulungiswa nethando lakaZimu. Bekutlhogeka ninikele kwetjhumi kodwana lokho akutjho ukuthi kufuze ningabi nandaba nezinye izinto.+

5 Ngokuvumelana nomThetho, labo abavela emadodaneni kaLevi+ ababaphristi banomyalo wokubuthelela kwetjhumi okuvela ebantwini,+ okutjho kubafowabo, ngitjho nanyana abantwabo baziinzukulwana zaka-Abrahama.
