Intente Engcwele Abaza Kukhonza Kuyo

Ngoxa uMoses wayekwincopho yeNtaba YeSinayi, uYehova wamxelela ukuba akhe intente ekhethekileyo ekuthiwa yintente engcwele, apho amaSirayeli ayeza kukhonza khona. Kwakufuneka akwazi ukuhamba nayo.

UYehova wathi: ‘Xelela abantu banikele ngezinto abanazo kuze kwakhiwe intente engcwele.’ AmaSirayeli anikela ngegolide, isilivere, ikopolo, amatye axabisekileyo, amacici, iiringi, iintsimbi zomqala nezesihlahla. Anikela nangoboya, ilinen, izikhumba zezilwanyana nezinye izinto. Anikela de uMoses wathi: ‘Sekwanele! Phezani ngoku.’

Amadoda namabhinqa amaninzi angamachule ancedisa ekwakheni. UYehova wawapha ubulumko bokwenza imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo. Abanye babesonta, abanye besaluka. Ukanti abanye babesebenza ngamatye, ngegolide okanye ngemithi.

Abantu bayakha intente engcwele kanye ngendlela uYehova abaxelele ngayo. Benza ikhethini eyayisahlula intente engcwele ibe ngamacala ayi-2, iNgcwele neYona Ngcwele. KweYona Ngcwele kwakukho ityeya yesivumelwano, eyayenziwe ngomthi womnga negolide. KwiNgcwele kwakukho isiphatho sesibane segolide, itafile nesibingelelo sesiqhumiso. Eyadini kwakukho isitya sekopolo nesibingelelo esikhulu. Ityeya yesivumelwano yayikhumbuza amaSirayeli ngesithembiso awasenzayo sokuba aza kuthobela uYehova. Uyasazi isivumelwano? Sisithembiso esikhethekileyo.

UYehova wakhetha uAron noonyana bakhe ukuba babe ngababingeleli kwintente engcwele. Babefanele bawunyamekele baze banikele kuYehova. YayinguAron, umbingeleli omkhulu, kuphela owayevumelekile ukuba angene kweYona Ngcwele. Wayengena kanye ngonyaka ukuze enze umbingelelo wezono zakhe, wezentsapho yakhe nowezono zalo lonke uhlanga lwamaSirayeli.

AmaSirayeli agqiba ukwakha intente engcwele kwisithuba esingangonyaka emva kokuba emkile eYiputa. Ngoku ayenendawo yokukhonza uYehova.

UYehova wagcwalisa intente engcwele ngobuqaqawuli bakhe kwaza kwabonakala ilifu phezu kwayo. Xa ilifu liphezu kwayo, amaSirayeli ayehlala kuloo ndawo. Kodwa xa lisuka, ayesazi ukuba kufuneka ahambe. Ayehamba nentente engcwele alilandele.
