6 UMozisi wasesithi: Le into iNkosi elilaye ngayo lizayenza; lenkazimulo yeNkosi izabonakala kini.

7 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Sondela elathini, wenze umnikelo wakho wesono lomnikelo wakho wokutshiswa, uzenzele wena inhlawulo yokuthula lokwabantu; ubususenza umnikelo wabantu, ubenzele inhlawulo yokuthula, njengokulaya kweNkosi.

8 UAroni wasesondela elathini, walihlaba ithole lomnikelo wesono owawungowakhe.

9 Amadodana kaAroni aseletha igazi kuye, wasegxamuza umunwe wakhe egazini, walifaka phezu kwempondo zelathi, legazi walithululela kungaphansi yelathi;

10 kodwa amahwahwa, lezinso, lamahwahwa esibindi omnikelo wesono wakutshisa elathini, njengalokho iNkosi imlayile uMozisi.

13 Amnika lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngezitho zawo lenhloko; wasekutshisa phezu kwelathi.

14 Wagezisa imibilini lemilenze, wayitshisa phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa elathini.

15 Wasesondeza umnikelo wabantu, wathatha impongo yomnikelo wesono eyayingeyabantu, wayihlaba, wayinikela yaba ngumnikelo wesono, njengowokuqala.

16 Wasondeza umnikelo wokutshiswa, wawulungisa njengokwesimiso.

17 Wasondeza umnikelo wokudla, wagcwalisa isandla sakhe ngokwawo, wakutshisa phezu kwelathi, ngaphandle komnikelo wokutshiswa wekuseni.

18 Wahlaba inkabi lenqama zibe ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula owawungowabantu; lamadodana kaAroni amnika igazi, owalifafaza phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.

19 Lamahwahwa enkabi lawenqama, umsila ononileyo, ledanga elisibekelayo, lezinso, lamahwahwa esibindi,

20 asebeka amahwahwa phezu kwezifuba; wasetshisa amahwahwa elathini;

21 kodwa izifuba lomlenze wokunene uAroni wakuzunguza kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi, njengokulaya kukaMozisi.

22 UAroni wasephakamisela isandla sakhe ebantwini, wababusisa. Wehla ekunikeleni umnikelo wesono lomnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula.

23 UMozisi loAroni basebengena ethenteni lenhlangano; baphuma bababusisa abantu, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala kubo bonke abantu.

24 Kwasekuphuma umlilo uvela phambi kweNkosi, watshisa phezu kwelathi umnikelo wokutshiswa lamahwahwa. Bonke abantu bathi bekubona lokhu bamemeza, bawa ngobuso babo.
