Iminikelo Ekubusisweni KweThabanikeli
1 Kwathi uMosi eseqedile ukumisa ithabanikeli, waligcoba njalo walibusisa kanye lempahla yalo yonke. Wabuye wagcoba njalo wabusisa i-alithari kanye lezitsha zalo zonke. 2 Kwasekusithi abakhokheli bako-Israyeli, inhloko zezimuli ezazingabakhokheli zensendo ziphethe labo ababebalwa, zanikela. 3 Zaletha izipho zazo kuThixo, izinqola eziyisithupha ezembesiweyo lenkabi ezilitshumi lambili, kuyikuthi umkhokheli munye anikele ngenkabi eyodwa kuthi ababili bahlanganyele inqola eyodwa. Lokhu bakuletha ethabanikeleni.
4 UThixo wathi kuMosi, 5 “Yamukela izipho ezivela kubo ukuze zisetshenziswe ethenteni lokuhlangana. Yabela abaLevi kusiya ngomsebenzi wendoda yinye ngayinye.”

Bonke babelawulwa ngu-Ithamari indodana ka-Aroni, umphristi. 9 Kodwa uMosi kazange aphe lokukodwa kumaKhohathi, ngenxa yokuthi kwakungumlandu wabo wokuthwala ngamahlombe abo zonke izinto ezingcwele.
10 Ekugcotshweni kwe-alithari, abakhokheli baletha phambi kwalo iminikelo yabo yokulahlukanisela. 11 Ngoba uThixo wayethe kuMosi, “Umkhokheli oyedwa ngelanga uzaletha umnikelo wakhe wokwahlukaniselwa kwe-alithari.”
