U-Eksodusi 30:22-33

UJehova wakhuluma futhi kuMose, wathi: “Zithabathele amakha amahle, imure* eliphumayo lamashekeli* angamakhulu ayisihlanu, nokinamona* othaphukayo wenxenye yalokho, okungukuthi amakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, nekalamu* elithaphukayo lamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, nekasiya* lamakhulu ayisihlanu ngokweshekeli* lendlu engcwele, nehini* lamafutha eminqumo. Uwenze amafutha angcwele okugcoba amakha athakiweyo njengokwenza komthaki, abe ngamafutha angcwele okugcoba. Wogcoba itende lokuhlangana nomphongolo wobufakazi, netafula nezitsha zalo zonke, nothi lwezibani nezitsha zalo, ne-altare lempepho, ne-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa nezitsha zalo zonke, nomcengezi nesinqe sawo. Wokungcwelisa ukuze kube ngcwele kakhulu; bonke abakuthintayo bayakuba ngcwele. “Wobagcoba u-Aroni namadodana akhe, ubangcwelise ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi. Ukhulume kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Lokhu kuyakuba kimi amafutha angcwele okugcoba ezizukulwaneni zenu. Mawangathelwa emzimbeni womuntu, ningawenzi afana nawo njengokuthakwa kwawo; angcwele, mawabe ngcwele kini. Yilowo nalowo owathaka anjengawo nalowo owathela kumfokazi uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.’ ”
