5 lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lesihlahla sesinga,

6 amafutha esibane, amakha amafutha okugcoba, lawempepha ethunqayo elephunga elimnandi,

7 amatshe athiwa ngama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa e-efodini lesembathweni sesifuba.

8 Njalo kabangenzele indawo engcwele ukuze ngihlale phakathi kwabo.

9 Njengakho konke engizakutshengisa khona, isibonelo sethabhanekele, lesibonelo sempahla yalo yonke, lenze njalo-ke.

10 Njalo bazakwenza umtshokotsho ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude bawo bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi bawo yingalo lengxenye, lokuphakama kwawo yingalo lengxenye.

11 Uwuhuqe-ke ngegolide elicwengekileyo, uwuhuqe ngaphakathi langaphandle, wenze phezu kwawo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.

12 Uwubumbele ngokuncibilikisa futhi amasongo amane egolide, uwafake emagumbini omane awo, ukuze amasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo, lamasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo.

13 Njalo uzakwenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, uyihuqe ngegolide,

14 uyifake imijabo emasongweni enhlangothini zomtshokotsho, ukuthwala umtshokotsho ngayo.

15 Imijabo izakuba semasongweni omtshokotsho, ayiyikukhutshwa kuwo.

16 Ubusufaka emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.

17 Njalo uzakwenza isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ubude baso bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, ububanzi baso yingalo lengxenye.

18 Ubususenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide, uzawenza ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, avele emaphethelweni womabili esihlalo somusa.

19 Wenze elinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lwaloluhlangothi, lelinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lolunye uhlangothi, uzakwenza amakherubhi evela esihlalweni somusa emaphethelweni womabili aso.

20 Lamakherubhi azakwelula impiko zawo ngaphezulu, ambomboze isihlalo somusa ngempiko zawo, lobuso bawo bukhangelane; ubuso bamakherubhi buzakhangela isihlalo somusa.

21 Njalo uzasibeka isihlalo somusa ngaphezulu, phezu komtshokotsho, ufake emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.

22 Ngizahlangana-ke lawe lapho, ngikhulume lawe ngingaphezu kwesihlalo somusa, ngiphakathi kwamakherubhi amabili aphezu komtshokotsho wobufakazi, konke engizakulaya khona kubantwana bakoIsrayeli.

23 Uzakwenza futhi itafula ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude balo bube zingalo ezimbili, lobubanzi balo yingalo, lokuphakama kwalo yingalo lengxenye.

24 Uzalihuqa-ke ngegolide elicwengekileyo, wenze kulo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.

25 Uzakwenza kulo inhlangothi zonke ibhanti elingangobubanzi besandla, ulenzele ibhanti lalo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.

26 Ulenzele futhi amasongo amane egolide, uwafake amasongo emagunjini amane asenyaweni zalo zozine.

27 Amasongo azakuba ngasebhantini ukuze abe zindawo zemijabo, ukuthwala itafula.

28 Njalo uzakwenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, uyihuqe ngegolide, ukuze itafula lithwalwe ngayo;

29 wenze futhi imiganu yalo lenkezo zalo lezitsha zalo lenditshi zalo abathela ngazo, uzenze ngegolide elicwengekileyo.

30 Uzabeka-ke etafuleni izinkwa zokubukiswa phambi kwami njalonjalo.

31 Uzakwenza njalo uluthi lwesibane ngegolide elicwengekileyo; uluthi lwesibane luzakwenziwa ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, isidindi salo, lezinti zalo, imbizana zalo, induku zalo, lamaluba alo, kuvele kulo.

32 Njalo izinti eziyisithupha zizaphuma enhlangothini zalo; izinti ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi, lezinti ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi.

33 Imbizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi kolunye uluthi, isiduku leluba; lembizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi kolunye uluthi, isiduku leluba; kube njalo ezintini eziyisithupha eziphuma oluthini lwesibane.

34 Oluthini lwesibane kube khona imbizana ezine ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi, iziduku zalo lamaluba alo;

35 kube lesiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, lesiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, futhi isiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, njengezinti eziyisithupha eziphuma oluthini lwesibane.

36 Iziduku zazo lezinti zazo zizavela kulo, lonke lube ngumsebenzi munye okhandiweyo wegolide elicwengekileyo.

37 Uzakwenza futhi izibane zalo eziyisikhombisa, njalo bazalumathisa izibane zalo, bazazenza zikhanyise ehlangothini oluphambi kwalo.

38 Njalo indlawu zalo lemiganu yalo yomlotha kuzakuba ligolide elicwengekileyo.

39 Kalwenziwe ngethalenta legolide elicwengekileyo, kanye lazo zonke lezizinto.
