Walungisa igumbi phakathi endlini ukuba kubekwe khona umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova.

Khona uSolomoni wabutha amalunga akwa -Israyeli nezinhloko zezizwe , izikhulu zawoyise babantwana bakwa -Israyeli enko sini uSolomoni eJerusalema, ukuba bakhuphule umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova emzini kaDavide oyiSiyoni.

Bakhuphula umphongolo kaJehova , netende lokuhlangana , nazo zonke izinto ezingcwele ezazisetendeni, kwakhushulwa ngabapristi namaLevi.

Abapristi bawungenisa umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova endaweni yawo egumbini lendlu , indawo engcwelengcwele , phansi kwamaphiko amakherubi.

Ngokuba a makherubi ayewelula amaphiko awo phezu kwendawo yomphongolo, amakherubi asibekela umphongolo nezinti zawo ngaphezulu.

UDavide wamesaba uNkulunkulu ngalolo suku; wathi: Ngizakuletha kanjani umphongolo kaNkulunkulu kimi na?

UDavide akawuyisanga umphongolo kuye emzini kaDavide , kepha wawubuyisela eceleni endlini ka-Obede Edomi umGiti.

Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wahlala nabendlu ka -Obede Edomi endlini yakhe izinyanga ezintathu; uJehova wayibusisa indlu ka-Obede Edomi nakho konke anakho.

sibuyisele kithi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba asiwufunanga ezinsukwini zikaSawule.

UDavide wayesebutha wonke u -Israyeli kusukela eSihori laseGibithe kuze kube sekuyeni eHamati ukususa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eKiriyati Jeharimi.

UDavide wenyukela kanye naye wonke u -Israyeli e Bahala, okungukuthi iKiriyati Jeharimi elalingelakwaJuda , ukukhuphula khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uJehova ohlezi phezu kwamakherubi , owawubizwa ngegama lakhe.

Bawuhambisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngengqukumbane entsha , bewukhipha endlini ka-Abinadaba; o-Uza no-Ahiyo bashayela ingqukumbane.

Ekufikeni kwabo esibuyeni sikaKidoni u-Uza welula isandla sakhe ukubamba umphongolo, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela.

Wazakhela izindlu emzini kaDavide ; walungisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu indawo, wawumisela itende.

Nina niyizinhloko zezindlu zawoyise bamaLevi ; zingcweliseni nina nabafowenu ukuba niwukhuphulele umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka- Israyeli endaweni engiyilungisele wona.

Base bezingcwelisa abapristi namaLevi ukuba bawukhuphule umphongolo kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

Abantwana bamaLevi bawuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu emahlombe abo ngezinti zawo njengokuyala kukaMose ngezwi likaJehova.

Khona uDavide wathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nga ungathwalwa muntu, ngamaLevi kuphela , ngokuba yiwona akhet hwe nguJehova ukuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nokumkhonza kuze kube phakade.

UDavide namalunga akwa -Israyeli nezinduna zezinkulungwane baya ukuwukhuphula umphongolo wesivumelwano sika Jehova endlini ka -Obede Edomi ngokuthokoza;

kwathi lapho uNkulunkulu esesizile amaLevi awuthwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova , anikela ngezinkunzi eziyisikhombisa nangezinqama eziyisikhombisa.

UDavide wayembethe ingubo yelineni elicolekileyo kan ye nawo onke amaLevi ayethwala umphongolo , nabahlabeleli, noKhenaniya induna yokuthwala kwabahlabeleli; uDavide wayenengubo yamahlombe yelineni.

Wonke u -Israyeli wawukhuphula kanjalo umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova ngokukhamuluka nangezwi lomtshingo , nangamacilongo, nangamasimbali, ebetha izingubhu namahabhu.

Kwathi lapho umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova usungena emzini kaDavide, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni , wabona inkosi uDavide isina, idlala; wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.

UDavide wabuthela wonke u -Israyeli eJerusalema ukukhuphulela umphongolo kaJehova endaweni yawo awulungisele yona.

Bawungenisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , bawubeka phakathi netende uDavide ayelimisele wona ; banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

Kwathi lapho uDavide esehlezi endlini yakhe , uDavide wathi kuNathani umprofethi: Bheka, mina ngihlala endlini yemisedari , kepha umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uphansi kwezilenge.

Kalokhu nikelani inhliziyo yenu nomphefumulo wenu ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ; sukani nakhe indlu en gcwele kaJehova uNkulunkulu ukuba kungeniswe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova nezinto ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakwakhelwa igama likaJehova.

UDavide inkosi wayesema ngezinyawo , wathi: Ngizweni, bafowethu nabantu bakwethu : mina-ke, kwakusenhliziyweni yami ukwakhela umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova indlu yokuphumula neyesena belo sikaNkulunkulu wethu; ngangizilungiselele ukwakha.

Nampa uDavide abamisela ukuhola ukuhlabelela endlini kaJehova , umphongolo usubekiwe khona.

USawule wathi ku -Ahiya: Letha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu . Ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wawukhona ngaleso sikhathi kwabakwa-Israyeli.

isibani sikaNkulunkulu sasingakacimi , uSamuweli elele ethempelini likaJehova, lapho kwakukhona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu,

Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wathathwa ; amadodana omabili ka -Eli, oHofini noFinehasi, abulawa.

Kwathi esaphatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , wawa nyovane esihlalweni sakhe ngaseceleni kwesango , kwaphuka intamo yakhe , wafa, ngokuba wayengumuntu omdala, esinda. Wayebahlulele abakwa-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amane.

Umalokazana wakhe , umkaFinehasi, wayekhulelwe esezakubeletha ; esezwile umbiko wokuthi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe nokuthi kufile uyisezala nomyeni wakhe , wakhonkobala, wabeletha, ngokuba wafikelwa yimihelo.

Wathi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe.

Kwathi abantu bengena ekamu , amalunga akwa -Israyeli athi : UJehova usibulaleleni phambi kwamaFilisti na ? Masithathe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova eShilo , siwulethe kithi , ufike phakathi kwethu , usisindise esandleni sezitha zethu.

Kwathi umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJeh ova ufika ekamu , wonke u - Israyeli wakhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu, kwaze kwaduma umhlaba.

AmaFilisti esezwa umsindo wokukhamuluka athi: Uthini umsindo walokhu kukhamuluka okukhulu ekamu lamaHeberu na ? Aqonda ukuthi umphongolo kaJehova ufikile ekamu.

AmaFilisti athatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , awususa e-Ebeni Ezeri , awuyisa e-Ashidodi.

Base bethuma umphongolo kaNkulunkulu e -Ekroni. Kwathi ekufikeni komphongolo kaNkulunkulu e -Ekroni abase -Ekroni bakhala bathi : Balethile umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli kithi ukuba usibulale thina nabantu bakithi.

Bathuma babutha onke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Wususeni umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ubuyele endlini yawo , ukuba ungasibulali thina nabantu bakithi, ngokuba kwakukhona ukungquzuka okokufa emzini wonke; isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasinzima kakhulu khona.

AmaFilisti awuthatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , awungenisa endlini kaDagoni, awubeka ngakuye uDagoni.

Abantu base -Ashidodi sebebona ukuthi kunjalo bathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli awuyikuhlala kithi , ngokuba isandla sakhe silukhuni phezu kwethu naphezu kukaDagoni unkulunkulu wethu.

Bathuma babuthela kubo on ke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Siyakwenzani ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli na ? Athi: Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli mawususelwe eGati . Bawususela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli khona.

Umphongolo kaJehova wawusezweni lamaFilisti izinyanga eziyisikhombisa.

bawubeka umphongolo kaJehova enqoleni kanye nebhokisi lamagundane egolide nemifanekiso yamathumba abo.

AbaseBeti Shemeshi babevuna ukolweni esigodini, baphakamisa amehlo abo, bawubona umphongolo, bathokoza ukuwubona.

AmaLevi ayethulile umphongolo kaJehova nebhokisi elalinawo , okwakukulo impahla yegolide , akubeka etsheni elikhulu ; abantu baseBeti Shemeshi banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa , bahlabela uJehova imihlatshelo ngalolo suku.

namagundane ego lide ayenjengomumo wemizi yonke yamaFilisti yamakhosi ayisihlanu , imizi ebiyelweyo nemizana yasemaphandleni , okubufakazi bakho kuyitshe elikhulu abawubeka kulo umphongolo kaJehova, elikhona nanamuhla ensimini kaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemeshi.

Wabulala abantu baseBeti Shemeshi , ngokuba babebukile umphongolo kaJehova; wabulala kubantu amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa emadodeni ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisihlanu ; abantu balila , ngokuba uJehova wabulala abantu ngokubulala okukhulu.

Bathuma izithunywa kwabakhileyo eKiriyati Jeharimi , bathi: AmaFilisti awubuyisele umphongolo kaJehova; yehlani, niwukhuphulele kini.

Bathi: Uma nimukisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ningawumukisi ze, kepha anobuyisela nokubuyisela kuye umnikelo wecala ; khona niyakuphiliswa, kwazeke kini ukuthi isandla sakhe asisuswa ngani kini.

nithathe umphongolo kaJehova, niwubeke enqoleni, nifake impahla yegolide eniyibuyisela kuye ibe ngumnikelo wecala ebhokisini eliseceleni kwawo , niyimukise, ihambe.

Abantu baseKiriyati Jeharimi bafika , bakhuphula umphongolo kaJehova , bawungenisa endlini ka -Abinadaba entabeni , bamngcwelisa u -Eleyazare indodana yakhe ukuba agcine umphongolo kaJehova.

Kwathi kusukela osukwini umphongolo owahlala ngalo eKiriyati Jeharimi , kwaba yisikhathi eside , ngokuba saba yiminyaka engamashumi amabili ; yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli yakhalela uJehova.

UJehoyada, umpristi, wayesethatha umphongolo , wabhoboza imbobo esivalweni sawo , wawubeka eceleni kwe -altare ngakwesok unene lapho umuntu engena endlini kaJehova ; abapristi abalinda umbundu bafaka khona yonke imali eyalethwa endlini kaJehova.

Kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uDavide wayewukhuphulile eKiriyati Jeharimi, wawuyisa endaweni uDavide ayewulungisele yona , ngokuba wayewumisele itende eJerusalema.

Kwathi ngesikhathi umphongolo owayiswa ngaso ezinduneni zenkosi ngesandla samaLevi , nalapho zibona ukuthi imali iningi , umbhali wenkosi nenduna yompristi omkhulu beza , bawuthulula umphongolo , bawuthatha, bawubuyisela endaweni yawo . Benze njalo imihla ngemihla , baqoqa imali eningi.

Yayisikhuluma inkosi , benza umphongolo , bawubeka ngaphandle ngasesangweni lendlu kaJehova.

Washo kumaLevi afundisa wonke u-Israyeli, ayengcwele kuJehova, wathi: Bekani umphongolo ongcwele endlini ayakhayo uSolomoni indodana kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli; akusayikubakho mthwalo emahlombe enu ; khonzani manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.

Khona uSolomoni wabutha amalunga akwa -Israyeli, nazo zonke izinhloko zezizwe, izikhulu zawoyise babantwana bakwa -Israyeli eJerusalema ukuba bakhuphule umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova emzini kaDavide oyiSiyoni.

Esefikile onke amalunga akwa-Israyeli, amaLevi aphakamisa umphongolo.

Akhuphula umphongolo , netende lokuhlangana , nazo zonke izinto ezingcwele ezazisetendeni, kwakhushulwa ngabapristi namaLevi.

Abapristi ba wungenisa umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova endaweni yawo egumbini lendlu , indawo engcwelengcwele , phansi kwamaphiko amakherubi.

Ngokuba amakherubi awelula amaphiko awo phezu kwendawo yomphongolo, amakherubi asibekela umphongolo nezinti zawo ngaphezulu.

Ngiwumisile lapho umphongolo okukuwo isivumelwano sikaJehova asenza nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

USolomoni wakhuphula indodakazi kaFaro emzini kaDavide , wayiyisa endlini ayakhele yona , ngokuba wathi : Akuyikuhlala owesifazane endlini kaDavide inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, ngokuba ingcwele , lapho kufike khona umphongolo kaJehova.

U-Uriya wathi kuDavide : Umphongolo, no-Israyeli, noJuda bahlezi emadokodweni; inkosi yami uJowabe nezinceku zenkosi yami zimisile endle ; mina-ke, pho, ngingene endlini yami, ngidle, ngiphuze, ngilale nomkami na? Kuphila kwakho nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikuyenza leyo nto.

Bheka, kwafika noSadoki nawo onke amaLevi enaye , ethwele umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu; abeka phansi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, u- Abiyathara wenyuka, baze baphuma bonke abantu emzini.

Inkosi yathi kuSadoki : Buyisela emzini umphongolo k aNkulunkulu; uma ngiyakufumana umusa emehlweni kaJehova , uyakungibuyisa, angibonise wona nendlu yawo;

Ngalokho oSadoki no-Abiyathara bawubuyisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, bahlala khona.

Ngalokho uDavide akavumanga ukuwuletha umphongolo kaJehova kuye emzini kaDavide , kepha uDavide wawubuyisela eceleni endlini ka -Obede Edomi umGiti.

Umphongolo kaJehova wahlala endlini ka -Obede Edomi umGiti izinyanga ezintathu; uJehova wambusisa u-Obede Edomi nendlu yakhe yonke.

Kwatshelwa inkosi uDavide ukuthi uJehova ubusisile indlu ka -Obede Edomi nakho konke okwakhe ngenxa yomphongolo kaNkulunkulu . UDavide wahamba wenyusa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu endlini ka -Obede Edomi , wawuyisa emzini kaDavide ngokujabula.

Kwakuthi ababethwele umphongolo kaJehova sebehambile izinyathelo eziyisithupha, wahlaba inkabi nethole elikhuluphalisiweyo.

Kanjalo uDavide nayo yonke indlu ka -Israyeli benyusa umphongolo kaJehova ngokukhamuluka nangokukhala kwecilongo.

Kwathi umphongolo kaJehova ungena nje emzini kaDavide , uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni , wabona inkosi uDavide itshekula, isina phambi kukaJehova; wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.

Bawungenisa umphongolo kaJehova , bawubeka endaweni yawo phakathi kwetende uDavide alimisele wona ; uDavide wanik ela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaJehova.

UDavide wahamba nabo bonke abantu ababe naye , besuka eBali Juda ukwenyusa khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu obizwa ngeGama , lona igama likaJehova Sebawoti ohlala phezu kwamakherubi.

Bawuhambisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngengqukumbane entsha , bewukhipha endlini ka -Abinadaba eyayisegqumeni ; o-Uza no -Ahiyo amadodana ka-Abinadaba bashayela leyo ngqukumbane entsha.

UDavide wamesaba uJehova ngalolo suku . Wathi: Umphongolo kaJehova uyakuza kanjani kimi na?

inkosi yathi kuNathani umprofethi : Bheka, mina ngihlala endlini yemisedari, kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uhlala phakathi kwezilenge.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuza kuJehova ngokuba umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawulapho ngalezo zinsuku;

Kwase kuvulwa ithempeli likaNkulunkulu elisezulwini , kwabonakala umphongolo wesivumelwano sakhe ethempelini lakhe ; kwase kuba khona imibani, namazwi, nokuduma, nokuzamazama komhlaba , nesichotho esikhulu.

Bayakuwenza umphongolo ngomuthi wom tholo, ubude bawo bube yizingalo ezimbili nenxenye , ububanzi bawo bube yingalo nenxenye , nokuphakama kwawo kube yingalo nenxenye.

Njengakho konke engikutshengisa khona njengesifanekiso setabernakele nangesifanekiso sempahla yonke yalo, anoyenza njalo-ke. Umphongolo wesivumelwano

Uyakuphanyeka isihenqo phansi kwezinkibaniso , uwungenise umphongolo wobufakazi khona phakathi kwesihenqo , isihenqo sinahlukanisele indawo engcwele nendawo engcwelengcwele.

umphongolo nezinti zawo, nesihlalo somusa, nesihenqo seveli;

UBesaleli wawenza umphongolo ngomuthi womtholo ; ubude bawo babuyizingalo ezi mbili nenxenye, ububanzi bawo babuyingalo nenxenye , nokuphakama kwawo kwakuyingalo nenxenye.

Wazifaka izinti emasongweni asezinhlangothini zomphongolo ukuba umphongolo uthwalwe ngazo.

Wangenisa umphongolo etabernakele , wamisa isihenqo seveli , wahenqela umphongolo wobufakazi, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

Wofaka khona umphongolo wobufakazi , uwuhenqele umphongolo ngesihenqo.

Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wathi kimi: Zibazele izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezokuqala, ukhuphukele kimi entabeni, uzenzele umphongolo womuthi.

Ngase ngenza -ke umphongolo womuthi womtholo , ngabaza izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezokuqala, ngakhuphukela entabeni nginezibhebhe zombili esandleni sami.

Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wahlukanisa isizwe sakwaLevi ukuba sithwale umphongolo we sivumelwano sikaJehova , sime phambi kukaJehova ukumkhonza nokubusisa egameni lakhe, kuze kube namuhla.

uMose wawayala amaLevi ay ethwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, wathi:

UMose waloba lowo mthetho, wabanika wona abapristi, amadodana kaLevi, ababethwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova namalunga onke akwa- Israyeli.

Bhekani, umphongolo wesivumelwano seNkosi yomhlaba wonke uwela iJordani phambi kwenu.

Kuyakuthi lapho amathe ezinyawo zabapristi abath wala umphongolo kaJehova, iNkosi yomhlaba wonke , eyakuma emanzini aseJordani , amanzi aseJordani anqamuke, amanzi avela ngenhla, eme nqwabanye.

Kwathi lapho abantu besuka ematendeni abo ukuba bawele iJordani , abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano bephambi kwabantu,

nalapho abathwala umphongolo sebefikile eJordani , izinyawo zabapristi abathwala umphongolo zicwilile onqenqemeni lwamanzi aseJordani eligcwele phezu kwalo lonke ugu lwalo izinsuku zonke zokuvuna,

Abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova bema baqi na emhlabathini owomileyo nga phakathi neJordani , abantu bonke bawela emhlabathini owomileyo, saze sawela iJordani isizwe sonke saphelela.

Zayala abantu, zathi: Nxa nibona umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nabapristi bamaLevi bewuthwala , niyakusuka endaweni yenu, niwulandele.

UJoshuwa wakhuluma kubapristi , wathi: Phakamisani umphongolo wesivumelwano, niwele phambi kwabantu . Baphakamisa-ke umphongolo wesivumelwano, bahamba phambi kwabantu.

Wobayala abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano , uthi: Nxa senifikile onqenqemeni lwamanzi aseJordani, niyakuma ngaseJordani.

Abapristi abathwala umphongolo babemi phakathi neJordani , kwaze kwaphelela konke uJehova amyale ngakho uJoshuwa ukuba akukhulume kubantu n jengakho konke uMose abemyale ngakho uJoshuwa ; abantu bashesha bawela.

Kwathi lapho bonke abantu sebewelile baphelela , umphongolo kaJehova wawela kanye nabapristi emehlweni abantu.

Yala abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano ukuba benyuke eJordani.

Kwathi lapho abapristi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova sebenyuke phakathi kweJordani , amathe ezinyawo zabapristi esefike emhlabathini owomileyo , amanzi aseJordani abuyela endaweni yawo , aphuphuma lonke ugu njengakuqala.

UJoshuwa wamisa amatshe ayishumi nambili phakathi neJordani, endaweni lapho izinyawo zabapristi abathwala umphongolo zazimi khona; akhona kuze kube namuhla.

Wayesenza ukuba umphongolo kaJehova uzunge ze umuzi , wawuhaqa kanye; base befika ekamu, balala ubusuku ekamu.

UJoshuwa wavuka ekuseni kakhulu , abapristi bathatha umphongolo kaJehova.

Abapristi abayisikhombisa , bethwele amacilongo ayisikhombisa ejubili phambi komphongolo kaJehova , bahamba njalo bewabetha amacilongo ; abahlomileyo bahamba phambi kwabo , nesigaba sasemuva sawulandela umphongolo kaJehova, bebetha amacilongo besahamba.

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wabiza abapristi , wathi kubo : Phakamisani umphongolo wesivumelwano, abapristi abayisikhombisa bathwale amacilongo ayisikhombisa ejubili phambi komphongolo kaJehova.

Kwathi lapho uJoshuwa esekhulumile kubantu , abapristi abay isikhombisa bethwele amacilongo ayisikhombisa ejubili phambi kukaJehova badlula , babetha amacilongo, umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova wabalandela.

Abahlomileyo bahamba phambi kwabapristi ababetha amacilongo , nesigaba sasemuva sawulandela umphongolo, bebetha amacilongo besahamba.

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli namalunga abo , nezinduna zabo , nabahluleli babo babemi ngalapha nangalapha komphongo lo phambi kwabapristi bamaLevi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova , abafokazi nabokuzalwa ekhaya, inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yaseGerizimu , inxenye yabo ibhekene nentaba yase-Ebali, njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova ebeyalile , ukuba babusise abantu bakwa-Israyeli kuqala.

Basuka entabeni kaJehova , bahamba ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu; umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova wahamba phambi kwabo ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu ukubafunela indawo yokuphumula.

Ngokuzidla bakhuphukela nokho esiqo ngweni sentaba, kepha umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova noMose awuphumanga ekamu.

Nxa ikamu lisuka , u-Aroni uyakungena kanye namadodana akhe , behlise iveli lesihenqo, basibekele umphongolo wobufakazi ngalo,
