funa umphindiseli wegazi amxoshe umbulali isashisa inhliziyo yakhe , amfice, ngokuba indlela inde , amshaye aze afe , noma ebengafanele ukufa , lokhu ebekade engamzondi.

ukuba umbulali abalekele khona , obulala umakhelwane wakhe kungengamabomu, ebekade engamzondi , wothi aphile uma ebalekela komunye waleyo mizi:

U-Efrayimi, njengalokho ngibone eTire, utshalwe endaweni emnandi, kepha u-Efrayimi uyakukhiphela umbulali abantwana bakhe.

Umbulali uvuka ekuseni, abulale ompofu noswelayo; ebusuku unjengesela.

Uma umphindiseli wegazi emxosha , awayikumnikela umbulali esandleni sakhe, ngokuba wambulala umakhelwane wakhe kungengamabomu ebekade engamzondi.

Uyakuhlala kulowo muzi aze eme phambi kwenhlangano ukuba kuthet hwe icala, kuze kufe umpristi omkhulu okhona ngalezo zinsuku , andukuba umbulali abuye, afike kowakhe umuzi, nakweyakhe indlu, yebo, kulowo muzi abaleka kuwo.

niyakumisela imizi ibe yimizi yokuphephela ukuba umbulali obulala umuntu kungengamabomu abalekele khona.

Iyakuba yimizi yenu yokuphepha kumphindiseli , ukuze umbulali angafi engakemi phambi kwenhlangano, ahlulelwe.

Kepha uma umuntu eshaya omunye ngento yensimbi aze afe , ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa.

Uma emshaya ngetshe elises andleni sakhe, umuntu angafa ngalo , aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa.

Uma emshaya ngesikhali somuthi esisesandleni sakhe , umuntu angafa ngaso, aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa.

noma emshaya ngesandla sakhe ngobutha aze afe , omshayileyo wobulawa nokubulawa; ungumbulali; umphindiseli wegazi uyakumbulala umbulali , lapho ehlangana naye.

inhlangano imophule umbulali esandleni somphindiseli wegazi, inhlangano imbuyisele emzini wakhe wokuphephela lapho ebebalekele khona , ahlale kuwo aze afe umpristi omkhulu owayegcotshiwe ngamafutha angcwele.

Kepha uma umbulali edlula ngesikhathi esithile umkhawulo womuzi wakhe wokuphephela lapho ebalekele khona,

umphindiseli wegazi emfica ngaphandle komkhawulo womuzi wakhe wokuphephela, umphindiseli wegazi embulala umbulali , akayikuba nacal a legazi,

ngokuba nga ehlalile emzini wakhe wokuphephela waze wafa umpristi omkhulu; kepha emva kokufa kompristi omkhulu umbulali uyakubuyela ezweni eliyifa lakhe.

Noma ubani obulala umuntu , umbulali uyakubulawa ngemilomo yawofakazi; kepha ufakazi oyedwa akayikufakazela muntu aze afe.

Imizi eniyakuyinika amaLevi iyakuba yimizi eyisithupha yokuphephela , eniyakuyinika umbulali ukuba abalekele kuyo ; ngaphandle kwayo niyakuwanika imizi engamashumi amane nambili.
