Mthetho kaMoses

UThixo wanika imithetho ngoMoses endlwini kaSirayeli ekubuyiseleni umthetho omkhulu ngakumbi abathi basilela ukuwuthobela (Eks. 34; GJS, Eks. 34:1–2; GJS, Dut. 10:2 [Isihlomelo]). Umthetho kaMoses wawuqulathe imigaqo emininzi, imithetho, amasiko, iinkqubo, nemiqondiso ekhumbuza abantu ngemisebenzi yabo namaxanduva. Wawubandakanya umthetho wesimilo, ngokwemikhwa esesikweni, ngokwenkolo, nemiyalelo yemvelo nezenzo—ubandakanya namadini (Lev. 1–7)—ezazilungiselelwe ukubakhumbuza ngoThixo nomsebenzi wabo ngaKuye (Moz. 13:30). Ukholo, inguquko, ubhaptizo emanzini, noxolelo lwezono zaziyinxenye yomthetho, njengoko zaziyiMithetho eLishumi neminye emininzi imiyalelo yemikhwa emikhulu ngokwasesikweni nexabiso ngokwasesimilweni. Okuninzi komthetho ngokwesiko kwakuzalisekile ekufeni nasekuVukeni kukaYesu Kretu, eyaphelisa idini lokuphalala kwegazi (Alma 34:13–14). Umthetho wawulungiselelwa phantsi koBubingeleli buka-Aron kwaye wawuyivangeli elungiselela ukuzisa ukubambelela kwawo kuKrestu.
