26 “Kumele lenze ithabanikeli+ ngamalembu etende alitshumi enziwe ngelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo, lohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende,* kanye lohali olubomvu. Kumele liwathungele umceciso+ wamakherubhi.+
2 Ilembu ngalinye lokwenza itende kumele libe zingalo* ezingu-28 ubude njalo libe zingalo ezine ububanzi. Wonke amalembu la kumele alingane.+
3 Amalembu etende amahlanu kumele ahlanganiswe wonke abe lilembu elilodwa elikhulu futhi lamanye amahlanu kumele ahlanganiswe.
4 Kumele lenze izihitshela ngohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphethweni welembu elisekucineni emalenjini ahlanganisiweyo, lenze njalo laselenjini elisekucineni kwamanye ahlanganisiweyo, lapho azahlanganiswa khona womabili.
5 Lizakwenza izihitshela ezingu-50 kwelinye ilembu letende, lezihitshela ezingu-50 emphethweni welinye ilembu letende ukuze izihitshela lezi ziqondane lapho amalembu la ahlangana khona.
6 Kumele lenze ingwegwe zegolide ezingu-50 beselihlanganisa amalembu etende ngazo ukuze ithabanikeli libe yintonye.+
7 “Kumele lenze amanye amalembu etende ngoboya bembuzi+ ukuze afakwe phezu kwethabanikeli. Amalembu+ la kumele abengu-11.
8 Ilembu ngalinye kumele libe zingalo ezingu-30 ubude lengalo ezine ububanzi. Wonke amalembu la angu-11 kumele alingane.
9 Kumele lihlanganise amalembu etende amahlanu abe lilembu elilodwa, lihlanganise lamanye ayisithupha abe lilembu elilodwa. Elesithupha kumele lilipheqe emhlubulweni wetende ophambili.
10 Kumele lenze izihitshela ezingu-50 emphethweni welembu ngalinye elisekucineni emalenjini ahlanganisiweyo, kanye lezihitshela ezingu-50 emphethweni welembu letende lapho amalembu la ahlangana khona.
11 Kumele lenze ingwegwe zekhopha ezingu-50 beselizifaka ezihitsheleni lihlanganise amalembu etende abe lilembu elilodwa.
12 Ingxenye eseleyo yelembu letende liyitshiye ilenga. Kumele isale ilenga ngemva kwethabanikeli.
13 Ingxenye eseleyo yamalembu etende elingana lengalo eyodwa kumele ilengele ngapha langapha ukuze yembathise ithabanikeli.
14 “Kanti njalo kumele lenze isembeso setende ngezikhumba zenqama ezidaywe zaba bomvu njalo phezu kwaso kumele lifake izikhumba zenyamazana yolwandle.+
15 “Kumele libaze lamapulanka*+ ngezigodo zesinga elizalungisa ngawo ithabanikeli futhi kumele amiswe aqonde.+
16 Ipulanka ngalinye kumele libe zingalo ezilitshumi ubude njalo libe yingalo eyodwa lengxenye ububanzi.
17 Ngaphansi kwepulanka ngalinye kumele kube lezigxingi ezimbili eziqondeneyo. Le yiyo indlela okumele ulungise ngayo wonke amapulanka ethabanikeli.
18 Kumele libaze amapulanka angu-20 azangena eceleni lethabanikeli elikhangele eningizimu.
19 “Kumele lenze izisekelo zesiliva ezingu-40 ezilezikhala+ futhi yizo ezizafakwa ngaphansi kwamapulanka angu-20. Izisekelo ezimbili kazibe ngaphansi kwepulanka elilodwa ukuze kungeniswe izigxingi zalo ezimbili, ezinye izisekelo ezimbili zibe ngaphansi kwepulanka ngalinye elilandelayo ukuze kungeniswe izigxingi+ zalo ezimbili.
20 Kumele libaze amapulanka angu-20 azangena eceleni lethabanikeli elisenyakatho.
21 njalo lenze lezisekelo zawo zesiliva ezingu-40 ezilezikhala, izisekelo ezimbili zibe ngaphansi kwepulanka elilodwa, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka ngalinye elilandelayo.
22 Kumele libaze amanye amapulanka ayisithupha+ azangena engxenyeni yethabanikeli engemuva ekhangele entshonalanga.
23 Bazani lamanye amapulanka amabili azasekela amakhona amabili ethabanikeli angemuva.
24 Amapulanka la kumele ahlanganiswe abe mabili kusukela phansi kuze kuyefika phezulu lapho okulesongo lokuqala khona.* Lokhu kumele likwenze kuwo womabili njalo yiwo azasekela amakhona womabili.
25 Kuzakuba lamapulanka angu-8 lezisekelo zesiliva ezingu-16 ezilezikhala, izisekelo ezimbili kumele zifakwe ngaphansi kwepulanka elilodwa njalo ezinye izisekelo ezimbili zibe ngaphansi kwepulanka ngalinye elilandelayo.
26 “Kumele lilungise imithando ngezigodo zesinga, emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka aseceleni elilodwa lethabanikeli,+
27 eminye imithando emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka akwelinye icele lethabanikeli, njalo eminye emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka aseceleni elisentshonalanga, ngemuva kwethabanikeli.
28 Umthando ophakathi laphakathi kwamapulanka kumele usuke ekuqaliseni uze uyefika ekucineni.
29 “Amapulanka okulungisa ithabanikeli kumele liwahuqe ngegolide+ njalo liwenzele amaringi egolide azabamba imithando futhi layo kumele liyihuqe ngegolide.
30 Kumele umise ithabanikeli ulandela iplani oyitshengiswe entabeni.+
31 “Kumele lenze ikhetheni+ ngohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende, lohali olubomvu kanye lelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo njalo lithungele kulo imiceciso yamakherubhi.
32 Kumele lilifake phezu kwensika ezine ezenziwe ngezigodo zesinga ezihuqwe ngegolide. Amawuka azo kumele abe ngawegolide. Insika lezi kumele zibe phezu kwezisekelo zesiliva ezine ezilezikhala.
33 Ikhetheni lizalifaka ngaphansi kwezingwegwe njalo lingenise ibhokisi loBufakazi+ khonapho phakathi endaweni evalwe ngekhetheni. Ikhetheni leli yilo elizakwehlukanisa iNdawo eNgcwele+ leNgcwelengcwele.+
34 Kumele lifake isivalo phezu kwebhokisi loBufakazi eliseNgcwelengcwele.
35 “Lizafaka itafula phandle kwekhetheni eceleni elisenyakatho phakathi kwethabanikeli. Kumele ikhangelane loluthi lwesibane+ olungaseningizimu phakathi kwethabanikeli.
36 Lizakwenza elinye ikhetheni lokuvala umnyango wetende ngohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende, lohali olubomvu kanye lelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo.+
37 Lizakwenzela elinye ikhetheni insika ezinhlanu ngezigodo zesinga, beselizihuqa ngegolide. Amawuka azo kumele abe ngawegolide njalo lizazenzela izisekelo ezinhlanu ezilezikhala, ezenziwe ngekhopha.
