Abafowabo amaLevi banikelelwa yonk e inkonzo yetabernakele lendlu kaNkulunkulu.

Nokho bayakuba yizinceku zakhe ukuba bazi inkonzo yami nenkonzo yemibuso yezizwe. UShishaki usukela iJerusalema

UHezekiya wakhuluma kahle kuwo onke amaLevi ayebonakalisa ukuqonda inkonzo kaJehova . Badla-ke iminikelo yomkhosi izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , benikela ngemihlats helo yeminikelo yokut hula, bembonga uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Yayisilungiswa-ke inkonzo kaJehova ngalusuku lunye ukwe nza iphasika nokunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa e -altare likaJehova njengesiyalezo senkosi uJosiya.

Kepha uma inkonzo yokufa , enamagama aqoshiwe ematsheni , yafika inenkazimulo, ngangokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babengenakubuka ubuso bukaMose ngenxa yenkazimulo yobuso bakhe eyayingephelayo,

pho, inkonzo kaMoya ayiyikuba nenkazimulo kakhulu kunayo na?

Ngokuba uma inkonzo yokulahlwa ibinenkazimulo , ikakhulu inkonzo yokulunga inenkazimulo enkulu kakhulu.

Kepha konke kuvela kuNkulunkulu owenza ukuba sibuyisane naye ngoKristu, wasinika inkonzo yokubuyisana,

Kwathi-ke esayenza inkonzo yobupristi phambi kukaNkulunkulu njengokuhlelwa kwesikhathi sesigaba sakubo,

Kuyakuthi lapho senifike ezweni uJehova azakuninika lona njengesithembiso sakhe, niyakugcina inkonzo yakhe.

Bamisa abapristi ngamaqembu abo namaLevi ngezigaba zawo ukuba baphathe inkonzo kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema njengokulotshiweyo encwadini kaMose.

Wathi kimi : Leli kamelo elibheke ngaseningizimu ngelabapristi abagcina inkonzo yasendlini.

Ikamelo elibheke ngasenyakatho ngelabapristi abagcina inkonzo yase - altare; bangamadodana kaSadoki aphakathi kwamadodana kaLevi , asondela kuJehova ukumkhonza.

Uma benamahloni ngakho konke abakwenzileyo, mawubazise isimo sendlu, nokubonakala kwayo , nezindawo zayo zokuphuma , nezindawo zayo zokungena, yebo, sonke isimo sayo kanye nazo zonke izimiso zayo , nazo zonke izimo zazo kanye nayo yonke imithetho yayo , ukulobe emehlweni abo ukuba bagcine sonke isimo sayo nazo zonke izimiso zayo, bazenze.

Anigcinanga inkonzo yezinto zami ezingcwele, kepha nibeke abayakunigcinela inkonzo endlini yami engcwele.

Uyakuba ngowabapristi , abangcwelisiweyo bamadodana kaSadoki , abagcine inkonzo yami; abadukanga lapho beduka abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, njengalokho aduka amaLevi.

kepha libe ngufakazi phakathi kwethu nani naphakathi kwezizukulwane zethu emva kwethu , ukuze senze inkonzo kaJehova phambi kwakhe ngeminikelo yethu yokushiswa , nangemihlatshelo ye thu, nangeminikelo yethu yokuthula , ukuba abantwana benu bangasho kubantwana bethu ngesikhathi esizayo ukuthi: Aninasabelo kuJehova.

Bhekani, ngibanikile abantwana bakwaLevi konke okweshumi kwa-Israyeli, kube yifa labo , ngomsebenzi abawusebenzayo , inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana.

Kepha amaLevi ayakugcina inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana, athwale ububi bawo; kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu ; naphakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abayikuba nafa.

Bayakuhlanganiswa nawe , bagcine inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana kuwo wonke umsebenzi wetende; umfokazi akayikusondela kuwe.

Niyakugcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele nenkonzo yase -altare, ukuze ulaka lungabe lusaba khona phezu kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

Enxenyeni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli wothabatha kube kunye emashumini ayisihlanu, awabantu, nawezinkomo, nawezimbongolo, nawezimvu, yebo, awezilwane zonke , ukunike amaLevi agcina inkonzo yetabernakele likaJehova.

nezilenge zegceke, neveli lomnyango wegceke elingasetabernakele nangase- altare nxazonke, nezintambo zalo, nayo yonke inkonzo yalokho.

Njengokomumo wabo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili namakhulu ayisithupha, begcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

Okugcinwa yibo kuyakuba ngumphongolo, netafula, nothi lwezibani, nama- altare, nezimpahla zendlu engcwele abakhonza ngazo , neveli, nayo y onke inkonzo yalokho.

U-Eleyazare indodana ka -Aroni umpristi uyakuba yisikhulu sezikhulu zamaLevi, abonise abagcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

Labo ab amisa phambi kwetabernakele ngasempumalanga , ngaphambi kwetende lokuhlangana ngasekuphumeni kwelanga , bayakuba ngoMose no - Aroni namadodana akhe, begcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele, begcina imfanelo yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; umfokazi osondelayo uyakubulawa.

Bayakugcina yonke impahla yetende lokuhlangana nezimfan elo zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukwenza inkonzo yetabernakele.

Zamukele kuzo , ukuze zenze inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana , uzinike amaLevi, kube yilowo nalowo muntu ngokomsebenzi wakhe.

Kepha amadodana kaKohati akawanikanga lutho , ngokuba inkonzo yendlu engcwele yayiyiwo eyawo; ayithwala emahlombe awo.

Emva kwalokho amaLevi ayakungena ukwenza inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana; uyakuwahlambulula, unikele ngawo abe ngu mnikelo wokuzuliswa.

Ngesiyalezo sikaJehova bamisa , nangesiyalezo sikaJehova bahamba ; bagcina inkonzo kaJehova ngesiyalezo sikaJehova ngesandla sikaMose.
