1Wathi kuMose: “Khuphukela kuJehova, wena no-Aroni, noNadabi, no-Abihu, namalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa akwa-Israyeli, nikhuleke nikude.
2UMose yedwa uyakusondela kuJehova, kepha bona abayikusondela; nabantu abayikukhuphuka naye.”
3UMose weza wabatshela abantu onke amazwi kaJehova nezahlulelo zonke; abantu bonke baphendula ngazwi linye, bathi: “Onke amazwi uJehova awakhulumileyo siyakuwenza.”
4UMose wabhala onke amazwi kaJehova, wavuka ekuseni ngakusasa, walakha i-altare phansi kwentaba, nezinsika eziyishumi nambili njengokwezizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli.
5Wathuma izinsizwa zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, zanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa, zahlabela uJehova imihlatshelo yokuthula yezinkunzi.
6UMose wathatha inxenye yegazi, wayithela ezitsheni; inxenye yegazi wafafaza ngayo i-altare.
7Wathatha incwadi yesivumelwano, wayifunda ezindlebeni zabantu; bathi: “Konke akukhulumileyo uJehova siyakukwenza, silalele.”
8UMose wayesethatha igazi, wafafaza ngalo abantu, ethi: “Bheka, nanti igazi lesivumelwano uJehova asenze nani ngawo onke lawa mazwi.”
9Khona bakhuphuka oMose, no-Aroni, noNadabi, no-Abihu, namalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa akwa-Israyeli.
10Bambona uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; phansi kwezinyawo zakhe kwakungathi kugandayiwe ngamatshe amasafire,* kungathi yizulu uqobo ngokucweba.
11Akasibekanga isandla sakhe kuzo izikhulu zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; sebembonile uNkulunkulu badla, baphuza.
12UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Khuphukela kimi entabeni, uhlale khona, ngikunike izibhebhe zamatshe, nomthetho, nemiyalelo engiyibhalile ukuba ubafundise yona.”
13Wasuka uMose nenceku yakhe uJoshuwa; uMose wakhuphukela entabeni kaNkulunkulu.
14Wathi kumalunga: “Manisihlalele lapha, size sibuyele kini; bhekani, o-Aroni noHure bakini; yilowo nalowo onendaba makaye kubo.”
15UMose wayesekhuphukela entabeni, ifu lasibekela intaba.
16Inkazimulo kaJehova yahlala entabeni yaseSinayi, ifu layisibekela izinsuku eziyisithupha; ngosuku lwesikhombisa esefwini wambiza uMose.
17Ukubonakala kwenkazimulo kaJehova kwakunjengomlilo oqedayo esiqongweni sentaba emehlweni abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
18UMose wangena efwini, wakhuphukela entabeni; uMose wayesentabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane.
