1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2 “Yala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba balethe kuwe amafutha eminqumo acwengekileyo agxotshelwe ukukhanyisa, ukuba izibani zivuthe njalonjalo. 3Ngaphandle kwesihenqo sobufakazi etendeni lokuhlangana u-Aroni uyakuzilungisa njalo phambi kukaJehova, aqale kusihlwa kuze kuse; kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, 4alungise njalo izibani othini olucwengekileyo phambi kukaJehova.

10Indodana yowesifazane wakwa-Israyeli, uyise wayo engowaseGibithe, yaphuma yaya phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; indodana yowesifazane wakwa-Israyeli nomuntu wakwa-Israyeli baxabana ekamu;* 11indodana yowesifazane wakwa-Israyeli yahlambalaza iGama, yathuka; yalethwa kuMose. Igama likanina lalinguShelomiti indodakazi kaDibiri, owesizwe sakwaDani. 12Bayifaka etilongweni ukuba batshelwe ngomlomo kaJehova.
13UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 14 “Mkhiphele ngaphandle kwekamu* lowo othukile; bonke abamuzwa mababeke izandla zabo ekhanda lakhe, inhlangano yonke imkhande ngamatshe. 15Uyakukhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Yilowo nalowo oqalekisa uNkulunkulu wakhe uyakuthwala isono sakhe. 16 Ohlambalaza igama likaJehova wobulawa nokubulawa, yonke inhlangano imkhande nokumkhanda ngamatshe; umfokazi noma owokuzalwa ekhaya, nxa ehlambalaza igama likaJehova, wobulawa.

17 “ ‘Oshaya umuntu aze afe wobulawa nokubulawa. 18Oshaya inkomo ize ife uyakuyikhokha, kube ngukuphila ngokuphila. 19 Uma umuntu elimaza umakhelwane wakhe, njengalokho enzile yena kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kuye, 20 kube ngukwaphuka ngokwaphuka, neso ngeso, nezinyo ngezinyo; njengalokho elimazile umuntu, kanjalo kuyakwenziwa kuye. 21Obulala inkomo woyikhokha; obulala umuntu wobulawa. 22Niyakuba nomthetho munye kumfokazi nakowokuzalwa ekhaya; ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.’ ”
23UMose wakhuluma-ke kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli; bamkhiphela othukileyo ngaphandle kwekamu,* bamkhanda ngamatshe. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.
