1. UJehova wayesekhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni ezweni laseGibithe, ethi:
2. “Le nyanga iyakuba kini inhloko yezinyanga, ibe yinyanga yokuqala emnyakeni kini.
3. Khulumani kuyo inhlangano yonke yakwa-Israyeli, nithi: ‘Ngolweshumi lwale nyanga yilowo nalowo makazithathele iwundlu ngokwezindlu zawoyise, kube yiwundlu ngendlu;
4. uma abomuzi bengalaneli iwundlu, wolithatha nomakhelwane wakhe oseduze nomuzi wakhe njengenani labantu; kulelo nalelo wundlu anobala inani elithile njengokudla kwalowo nalowo muntu.
5. Iwundlu malingabi nasici, libe ngeleduna, libe nomnyaka munye, nilithathe ezimvini noma ezimbuzini;
6. niyakuligcina kuze kube sosukwini lweshumi nane lwaleyo nyanga; ibandla lonke lenhlangano yakwa-Israyeli liyakulihlaba ngakusihlwa.
