1. UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
2. “Yala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Umnikelo wami, isinkwa sami seminikelo yami yomlilo yephunga elimnandi kimi, niyakuqaphela ukunikela ngawo kimi ngesikhathi sawo.’
3. Wothi kubo: ‘Lo ungumnikelo womlilo eniyakunikela ngawo kuJehova: izimvu zamaduna ezinomnyaka munye ezingenasici, zibe zimbili njalo ngosuku, zibe ngumnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke.
4. Enye imvu uyakunikela ngayo ekuseni, enye imvu unikele ngayo kusihlwa,
5. kanye nokweshumi kwe-efa* lempuphu ecolekileyo ibe ngumnikelo wempuphu, exovwe nokwesine kwehini* lamafutha agxotshelweyo.
6. Kungumnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, owamiswa entabeni yaseSinayi ube yiphunga elimnandi, umnikelo womlilo kuJehova.
7. Umnikelo wawo wokuphuzwa uyakuba ngokwesine kwehini* ngemvu inye; endaweni engcwele uyakuthululela uJehova umnikelo wokuphuzwa wophuzo olunamandla.
