39 Nje-ke u-Elazara umphristi wathatha izinto zokuphatha umlilo zekoporo labo ebatjhiswe ngomlilo ebebanikele ngazo, wazikghadlha wanameka ngazo i-aldara, 40 wenza njengombana uJehova ayale ngoMosi. Kwaba sikhumbuzo kuma-Israyeli ukuthi akunamuntu ovumeleke ukutjhisa ipepho phambi kwakaJehova ngaphandle kokuthi abe sizukulwana saka-Aroni,+ begodu akunamuntu okufuze afane noKhorarhi nalabo egade bamsekela.+

27 Umuntu kaZimu weza ku-Eli wathi: “Naku okutjhiwo nguJehova: ‘Akhenge na ngiziveze endlini kayihlo ngesikhathi baseGibhide baziingqila zendlu kaFaro?+ 28 Ukhokhwakho wakhethwa phakathi kwazo zoke iintjhaba zakwa-Israyeli+ bona abe mphristami, akhuphukele e-aldareni lami+ ayokwenza imihlatjelo, atjhise ipepho,* bekambathe i-efodi phambi kwami; nganikela nendlu kakhokhwakho yoke iminikelo yama-Israyeli eyenziwe ngomlilo.+

9 ngokwekambiso yabaphristi, kwafika isikhathi sakhe sokutjhisa ipepho+ nakangena endaweni ecwengileko kaJehova.*+
