Numeri

7 Ngosuku awagqiba ngalo uMoses ukumisa intente engcwele,+ wayithambisa+ waza wayenza ngcwele, wenza loo nto kuyo, kuzo zonke izinto zayo, nakwisibingelelo nezinto zaso zonke.+ Uthe akugqiba ukuthambisa nokuzenza ngcwele zonke ezi zinto,+ 2 iinkosi zakwaSirayeli,+ iintloko zezindlu zootata bazo zanikela. Ezi nkosi zezizwe ezaziphethe ukubhaliswa kwabantu 3 zazisa umnikelo wazo phambi koYehova, iinqwelo ezinophahla ezintandathu, neenkomo eziyi-12. Iinkosi ezimbini zazisa inqwelo neenkunzi zeenkomo ezimbini, zazizisa phambi kwentente engcwele. 4 UYehova wathi kuMoses: 5 “Zithathe ezi zinto banikela ngazo kuba ziza kusetyenziswa kumsebenzi wasententeni yokuhlangana, uze unike ngamnye kubaLevi ngokomsebenzi wakhe.”

6 Ngoko uMoses wazithatha iinqwelo neenkomo waza wazinika abaLevi. 7 Oonyana bakaGershon wabanika iinqwelo ezimbini neenkomo ezine ngokwemisebenzi yabo;+ 8 waza wanika oonyana bakaMerari iinqwelo ezine neenkomo ezisibhozo ngokwemisebenzi yabo. Babephethwe nguItamare unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli.+ 9 Kodwa akazange abanike nto oonyana bakaKohati, kuba babesebenza kwindawo engcwele,+ ibe izinto ezingcwele babezithwala emagxeni.+

10 Iinkosi zanikela ngomhla wokunikezelwa*+ kwesibingelelo, ngosuku esathanjiswa ngalo. Zathi xa iinkosi zisondeza umnikelo wazo phambi kwesibingelelo, 11 uYehova wathi kuMoses: “Makuze inkosi ibe nye ngosuku, inikele umbingelelo wayo wokunikezelwa kwesibingelelo.”
