IiPentateuch Makabongwe uThixo Osenyangweni, onikele iintshaba zakho esandleni sakho. Waza wamnika isishumi sezinto zonke. Genesis 14:20 Isishumi sonke somhlaba, nokuba sembewu yomhlaba, okanye sesiqhamo somthi, sesikaYehova; singcwele kuYehova. Ukuba umntu ufuna ukukhulula isishumi sakhe, wongeza kuso isahlulo sesihlanu saso. Ke ngoko malunga nesishumi seenkomo, okanye sempahla emfutshane, kuyo yonke into edlula phantsi kwentonga, isishumi soba ngcwele kuYehova. Levitikus 27:30-32 Isishumi soonyana bakaSirayeli, abasinikelayo njengomnikelo kuYehova, ndisinika abaLevi njengelifa; ngenxa yoko ndithe kubo, Phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli abayi kuba nalifa. Thetha nabaLevi, uthi kubo, Xa nithabatha koonyana bakaSirayeli isishumi endininike sona kubo njengelifa lenu, nonikela kuso umnikelo kuYehova, isishumi sesishumi. Ngokunjalo nani niya kunikela umnikelo kuYehova kuzo zonke izishumi zenu, enizamkelayo koonyana bakaSirayeli; nize ninikele kuso umnikelo kaYehova kuAron umbingeleli. Numeri 18:24,26,28 Uze urhumele uYehova inani kumadoda okulwa aphume umkhosi: umphefumlo ube mnye kumakhulu amahlanu, kubo bonke abantu, nakuzo iinkomo, nakuwo amaesile, nakuwo onke amagusha. Numeri 31:28 Irhafu kaYehova kwiigusha yayiyikhulu elinamashumi amathandathu anamashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu. Iinkomo zazingamashumi amathathu anesithandathu amawaka; kuzo irhafu kaYehova yayingamashumi asixhenxe anesibini. Amaesile ayengamashumi amathathu amawaka anamakhulu amahlanu; kuzo irhafu kaYehova yayingamashumi amathandathu ananye. Imiphefumlo yayilishumi elinesithandathu lamawaka; kuzo irhafu kaYehova yayingamashumi amathathu anesibini amawaka. UMoses wayinika uEleyazare umbingeleli irhafu, eyayingumnikelo kaYehova, njengoko uYehova wamwiselayo umthetho uMoses. Numeri 31:37-41 Nize nizise apho amadini enu anyukayo, nemibingelelo yenu, nezishumi zenu, neminikelo yenu yokuzithandela, namazibulo eenkomo zenu naweegusha zenu; kuya kubakho indawo aya kuyinyula uYehova uThixo wenu ukuba ahlalise igama lakhe kuyo; nizise apho konke endiniwisela umthetho ngako; amadini enu anyukayo, nemibingelelo yenu, nezishumi zenu, nomnikelo wesandla senu, nezibhambathiso zenu zonke ezikhethiweyo enizibhambathisela kuYehova; Aninakudlela emasangweni enu isishumi sengqolowa yenu, nesewayini yenu, neseoli yenu, nesamazibulo eenkomo zenu, nesempahla yenu emfutshane, nesinye isibhambathiso enizibhambathiselayo, neminikelo yenu yokuzithandela, neminikelo yenu yokuzithandela, neminikelo yenu yokuzithandela; Duteronomi 12:6, 11, 17

Irhafu kunye neshumi
...Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Mateyu 22:21
Uze ngokwenene unikele isishumi sayo yonke inzala yembewu yakho, eveliswa yintsimi iminyaka ngeminyaka. Uze udle phambi koYehova uThixo wakho, endaweni aya kuyinyulela ukulibeka kuyo igama lakhe, isishumi sengqolowa yakho, sewayini yakho, neseoli yakho, namazibulo eenkomo zakho nawempahla yakho emfutshane; ukuze ufunde ukumoyika uYehova uThixo wakho rhoqo. Ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu wozisa sonke isishumi semveliso yakho ngaloo nyaka, usigcine emasangweni akho; UmLevi, (kuba engenasabelo nalifa nawe), nomphambukeli, nenkedama, nomhlolokazi, abasemasangweni akho, baya kuza, badle, bahluthe; ukuze uYehova uThixo wakho akusikelele kuyo yonke imisebenzi yesandla sakho oyenzayo. Duteronomi 14:22-23,28-29 Uze wenze umthendeleko weeveki kuYehova uThixo wakho ngokomrhumo womnikelo wokuqhutywa yintliziyo wesandla sakho, owunika uYehova uThixo wakho, njengoko uYehova uThixo wakho akusikelele ngako; Duteronomi 16:10 Xa usondela kwisixeko usiya kulwa naso, memeza uxolo kuso, uze uthi, ukuba siphendule ngoxolo, sikuvulele, bonke abantu abafunyenwe kuso babe ngabakhonzi bakho, bakukhonze. Duteronomi 20:10-11 Xa uthe wagqiba ukunikela isishumi sonke sesivuno sakho ngonyaka wesithathu, ongunyaka wokunikela isishumi, wasinika umLevi, umphambukeli, inkedama, nomhlolokazi, ukuze badle emasangweni akho, bahluthe; Duteronomi 26:12
Imbali Abawagxothanga amaKanan abemi eGezere; ahlala amaKanan phakathi kwamaEfrayim unanamhla, akhonza efakwa uviko. Yoshuwa 16:10 Kwathi, bakuba bomelele oonyana bakaSirayeli, bawafaka uviko amaKanan, abawagxothanga ngokupheleleyo. Yoshuwa 17:13 Kwathi, akuba omelele amaSirayeli, awafaka amaKanan emsebenzini, akabagxotha ngokupheleleyo. UZebhulon akabagxothanga abemi baseKitron, nabemi baseNahaloli; kodwa amaKanan ahlala phakathi kwawo, aba ngabasebenzi bemisebenzi yezandla. UNafetali akabagxothanga abemi baseBhete-shemeshe, nabemi baseBhete-anati; kodwa wahlala phakathi kwamaKanan, abemi belo zwe; kodwa abemi baseBhete-shemeshe nabaseBhete-anati baba ngabasebenzi bemisebenzi yezandla zabo. Ama-Amori afuna ukuhlala entabeni yeHeres, eAyalon, naseShaalbhim; kodwa isandla sendlu kaYosefu saba namandla, kangangokuba aba ngabasebenzi bemisebenzi yezandla. Abagwebi 1:28,30,33,35 UAdoram wayephethe abafakwa uviko; uYehoshafati, unyana ka-Ahiludi, wayengumgcini-zincwadi. 2 Samuweli 10:24 UAhishari wayephethe indlu, uAdoniram unyana ka-Abda wayephethe abasebenzi abafakwa uviko. 1 Kumkani 4:6 oonyana babo abaseleyo emva kwabo ezweni, abo oonyana bakaSirayeli babengenako ukubatshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo, uSolomon wababiza ukuba babe ngamakhoboka asebenzayo, unanamhla. 1 Kumkani 9:21

Irhafu kunye neshumi
...Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Mateyu 22:21
Ukumkani uRehobhowam wathumela uAdoram, owayephethe umrhumo; kwaye onke amaSirayeli amxuluba ngamatye, wafa. Ukumkani uRehobhowam wakhawuleza ukukhwela enqwelweni yakhe, ukuze abalekele eYerusalem. 1 Kumkani 12:18 UFaro-neko wamfaka eRibhela ezweni laseHamati, ukuze angabi ngukumkani eYerusalem, waza walihlawulisa ilizwe ikhulu leetalente zesilivere, netalente yegolide. 2 Kumkani 23:33 UYehoyakim wanika uFaro isilivere negolide, kodwa walirhafisa ilizwe ukuze anike imali ngokomyalelo kaFaro: wabiza isilivere negolide kubantu belizwe, ngamnye ngokwerhafu yakhe, ukuze ayinike uFaro-Neko. 2 Kumkani 23:35 Bonke abantu abaseleyo kumaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPerizi, namaHivi, namaYebhusi, ababengengabo abakwaSirayeli, kodwa koonyana babo abaseleyo emva kwabo ezweni, abo bangazange batshatyalaliswe ngoonyana bakaSirayeli, uSolomon wabamisela ukuba basebenzele uviko unanamhla. 2 Kronike 8:7-8 Ukumkani uRehobhowam wathumela uHadoram owayephethe umrhumo; oonyana bakaSirayeli bamxuluba ngamatye, wafa. Ukumkani uRehobhowam wakhawuleza ukukhwela enqwelweni yakhe, ukuze abalekele eYerusalem. 2 Kronike 10:18 Uloyiko lukaYehova lwawela phezu kwazo zonke izikumkani zamazwe ajikeleze uYuda, kangangokuba azizange zilwe noYehoshafati. Amanye amaFilisti azisa izipho kuYehoshafati, nesilivere yerhafu; ama-Arabhu azisa kuye imihlambi, amawaka asixhenxe anamakhulu asixhenxe eenkunzi zeegusha, namawaka asixhenxe anamakhulu asixhenxe eenkunzi zeebhokhwe. UYehoshafati waba mkhulu kakhulu; wakha iinqaba nemizi yoovimba kwaYuda. 2 Kronike 17:1012 Kwakuba nje umthetho uphumile, oonyana bakaSirayeli bazisa iziqhamo zokuqala zengqolowa, iwayini, neoli, nobusi, nayo yonke imveliso yasemasimini; bazisa isishumi sezinto zonke ngobuninzi. Ke oonyana bakaSirayeli namaYuda, ababehlala emizini yakwaYuda, bazisa isishumi seenkomo, neseegusha, nesishumi sezinto ezingcwele ezazingcwalisiweyo kuYehova uThixo wabo, bazibeka ngeemfumba. Bazisa iminikelo, nezishumi, nezinto ezingcwalisiweyo ngokuthembeka; phezu kwazo uKonaniya umLevi wayengumphathi, noShimeyi umntakwabo wayengowesibini. 2 Kronike 31:56,12 Nasi ikopi yencwadi abayithumela kuye, kuArtashashta ukumkani, besithi: Abakhonzi bakho, amadoda aphesheya koMlambo, nangale xesha. Makwazeke kukumkani, ukuba amaYuda anyuke evela kuwe, eze kuthi eYerusalem, ayakha isixeko esivukelayo nesibi, amisa iindonga zaso, aqinisa iziseko zaso. Makwazeke kukumkani ngoku, ukuba lo mzi uya kwakhiwa, neendonga zakhiwa kwakhona, abayi kuhlawula rhafu, narhafu, narhafu, ngoko ke uya kuyibeka engozini ingeniso yookumkani. Ezra 4:11-13 Incwadi enasithumelela yona ifundwe ngokucacileyo phambi kwam. Ndayalela, kwaza kwaphandwa, kwafunyaniswa ukuba esi sixeko sakudala sivukele ookumkani, nokuba kwenziwe uvukelo novukelo kuso. Bekukho ookumkani abanamandla eYerusalem, ababelawula onke amazwe aphesheya koMlambo; kwaye banikwa irhafu, irhafu, nerhafu. Nika umyalelo wokuba la madoda ayeke, kwaye esi sixeko masingakhiwa, kude kukhutshwe umyalelo ovela kum. Ezra 4:18-21

Irhafu kunye neshumi
...Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Mateyu 22:21
Kananjalo ndiwisa umthetho wokuba niya kwenza ntoni na kumadoda amakhulu ala maYuda, ukuze kwakhiwe le ndlu kaThixo: ukuba la madoda anikwe iindleko kwangoko, kwimpahla yokumkani, nakwirhafu yaphesheya koMlambo, ukuze angathintelwa. Ezra 6:8 Kananjalo siyanazisa, ukuba bonke ababingeleli, nabaLevi, neemvumi, nabagcini-masango, nabalungiseleli betempile, nabalungiseleli bale ndlu kaThixo, akukho semthethweni ukubathwesa irhafu, irhafu, okanye umrhumo. Ezra 7:24 Bekukho nabathi, Siboleke imali yokuhlawula umrhumo wokumkani, naleyo siyiboleke ngamasimi ethu nezidiliya zethu. Nehemiya 5:4 Sizise iintlahlela zentlama yethu, neminikelo yethu, neziqhamo zemithi yonke, iwayini neoli, kubabingeleli, emagumbini endlu kaThixo wethu, nezishumi zomhlaba wethu kubaLevi, ukuze bona abaLevi bafumane izishumi kuzo zonke izixeko zethu zokulima. Umbingeleli unyana ka-Aron uya kuba kunye nabaLevi, xa abaLevi besamkela izishumi; kwaye abaLevi baya kuzisa izishumi zeshumi endlwini kaThixo wethu, emagumbini, endlwini yobuncwane. Nehemiya 10:37-38 Ngelo xesha kwamiselwa amadoda ukuba aphathe amagumbi okugcina ubuncwane, iminikelo, iintlahlela, nezishumi, ukuze aqokelele kuwo evela emasimini emizi izabelo zomthetho zababingeleli nabaLevi; kuba uYuda wayevuya ngababingeleli nabaLevi ababelindile. Nehemiya 12:44 Wayemlungiselele igumbi elikhulu, apho babebeka khona iminikelo yokudla, intlaka yokuqhumisa, neempahla, nezishumi zeengqolowa, iwayini entsha, neoli, ezaziyalelwe ukuba zinikwe abaLevi, neemvumi, nabalindi-masango, kunye neminikelo yababingeleli. Emva koko uYuda wonke wazisa isishumi sengqolowa, newayini entsha, neoli kwiindawo zokugcina izinto. Nehemiya 13:5,12 Ukumkani uAhaswerosi wabeka irhafu elizweni nakwiziqithi zolwandle. Estere 10:1
Abaprofeti Kuya kuvela endaweni yakhe umntu oza kunyusa irhafu ebuqaqawulini bobukumkani, kodwa ngeentsuku ezimbalwa uya kutshatyalaliswa, kungabi ngomsindo, kungabi ngemfazwe. Daniyeli 11:20 Yizani eBheteli, nityeshele; eGiligali, nandise ukreqo; nizise imibingelelo yenu kusasa, nezishumi zenu emva kweminyaka emithathu; ninyuse umbingelelo wombulelo onegwele, nibhengeze iminikelo yokuzithandela, niyivakalise; kuba nithanda njalo, nina nyana bakaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova. Amosi 4:4-5 Ngaba umntu angamphanga uThixo? Kanti nina nindiphangile? Kodwa nina nithi, 'Sikuphangile ngantoni?' Ngezishumi neminikelo. Niqalekisiwe ngesiqalekiso; ngokuba nindiphangile, nonke olu hlanga. Zisani zonke izishumi endlwini yokugcina, ukuze kubekho inyama endlwini yam, nindivavanye ngoku, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ukuba andiyi kunivulela na iingcango zezulu, ndinithululele intsikelelo, ukuze kungabikho ndawo yaneleyo yokuyifumana. Ndiya kumkhalimela umdli ngenxa yenu, angawutshabalalisi umhlaba wenu; nomdiliya wenu awuyi kuchitha iziqhamo zawo ngaphambi kwexesha, utsho uYehova wemikhosi. Zonke iintlanga ziya kuthi ninoyolo; kuba niya kuba lilizwe elimnandi, utsho uYehova wemikhosi. Malaki 3:8-12

Irhafu kunye neshumi
...Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Mateyu 22:21
IiVangeli Bakufika eKapernahum, abo bamkela imali yerhafu beza kuPetros, bathi, Umfundisi wenu akayihlawuli na irhafu yerhafu? Wathi, Ewe. Akungena endlwini, uYesu wamphendula, wathi, Ucinga ntoni na, Simon ? Ookumkani bomhlaba bamkela kubani irhafu ye ... Baza abaFarisi baya kwenza icebo lokuba bamthiyele ngentetho yakhe. Bathumela kuye abafundi babo kunye namaHerode, besithi, Mfundisi, siyazi ukuba uyinyaniso, ufundisa indlela kaThixo ngenyaniso, nokuba awukhathali nangubani; kuba awukhethi buso bamntu. Sixelele ngoko, Ucinga ntoni na? Kuvumelekile na ukumnika irhafu uKesare, okanye akunjalo? UYesu ebazi ubungendawo babo, wathi, Nindilingelani na, bahanahanisindini? Ndiboniseni imali yerhafu. Bamzisela idenariyo. Wathi kubo, Ngokabani na lo mfanekiso nombhalo? Bathi kuye, NgokaKesare. Wathi ke kubo, Nikani uKesare izinto zikaKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Mateyu 22:15-21 Yeha, nina babhali nabaFarisi, bahanahanisindini, ngokuba ninikela isishumi semint ne-anise necumin, nize nizishiye ezona zinto zibalulekileyo zomthetho, umgwebo, inceba, nokholo: ezi zinto benifanele ukuzenza, ningazishiyi ezinye. Mateyu 23:23 Befikile ke, bathi kuye, Mfundisi, siyazi ukuba unyanisekile, awukhathali mntu; kuba awukhethi buso bamntu, kodwa ufundisa indlela kaThixo ngenyaniso: Kuvumelekile na ukumnika irhafu uKesare, okanye hayi? Sinike, okanye singanikeli? Kodwa yena, esazi uhanahaniso lwabo, wathi kubo, Nindilingelani na? Ndiziseleni idenariyo, ukuze ndiyibone. Bayizisa. Wathi kubo, Ngokabani na lo mfanekiso nombhalo? Bathi kuye, NgokaKesare. Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Bamangaliswa nguye. Marko 12:14-17 UYesu wayehleli malungana nomkhumbi wokulondoloza imali, ebona indlela isihlwele esasiphosa ngayo imali emkhumbini wokulondoloza imali, kwaye uninzi lwabantu abazizityebi lwaluphosa kakhulu. Kwafika umhlolokazi olihlwempu, waphosa iimadlana ezimbini, ezenza isenti enye. Wababiza abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo, Inene ndithi kuni, Lo mhlolokazi ulihlwempu uphose ngaphezu kwabo bonke abo baphose emkhumbini wokulondoloza imali. Kuba bonke baphose bethabatha kwintabalala yabo; kodwa yena ekusweleni kwakhe uphose konke abenako, yonke impilo yakhe. Marko 12:41-44 Kwathi ngaloo mihla, kwaphuma ummiselo kuKesare Awugusto wokuba lonke ihlabathi libhaliswe. (Kwaye oku kubhaliswa kwenziwa okokuqala xa uKireniyo wayengumlawuli weSiriya.) Bonke baya kubhaliswa, ngamnye kwisixeko sakowabo. UYosefu naye wenyuka evela eGalili, ephuma kwisixeko saseNazarete, waya kwelakwaYuda, kwisixeko sikaDavide, esibizwa ngokuba yiBhetelehem; (kuba wayengowendlu nowesizwe sikaDavide:) ukuya kubhaliswa kunye noMariya, umfazi wakhe awayemthembisene naye, sele ekhulelwe. Luka 2:1-5 Yeha nina baFarisi, ngokuba ninikela izishumi zeminti nezeruwi, nezemifuno yonke, nize nidlule kumgwebo nothando lukaThixo; ezi zinto benimelwe kukwenza, ningazishiyi ezinye. Luka 11:42 Amadoda amabini enyuka aya etempileni, esiya kuthandaza; omnye engumFarisi, omnye engumqokeleli werhafu. UmFarisi wema, wathandaza esithi kuye, Thixo, ndiyabulela kuwe, ukuba andinjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangemalungisa, abakrexezi, nokuba njengalo mqokeleli werhafu. Ndizila ukudla kabini ngeveki, ndinikela izishumi zako konke endinako. Umqokeleli werhafu, emi kude, akafunanga nokuphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, kodwa wabetha esifubeni sakhe, esithi, Nkosi, yiba nenceba kum mna moni. Luka 18:10-13

Irhafu kunye neshumi
...Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Mateyu 22:21
Bambuza bathi, Mfundisi, siyazi ukuba uthetha kwaye ufundisa ngobulungisa, kwaye awukhethi buso bamntu, kodwa ufundisa indlela kaThixo ngenene: Ngaba kuvumelekile na ukuba sinikele irhafu kuKesare, okanye hayi? Kodwa eqonda ubuqhetseba babo, wathi kubo, " Nindilingelani na? Ndiboniseni idenariyo. Inomfanekiso nombhalo kabani?" Baphendula bathi, "NgokaKesare." Wathi kubo, " Ngoko ke buyiselani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nize ninikele kuThixo izinto zikaThixo." Luka 20:21-25 Waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona izityebi ziphosa iminikelo yazo emkhumbini wokulondoloza imali. Wabona nomhlolokazi othile olihlwempu ephosa apho iisenti ezimbini zeerandi. Wathi, Inene ndithi kuni, Lo mhlolokazi ulihlwempu uphose ngaphezu kwabo bonke; kuba bonke aba baphose kwiminikelo kaThixo, bethabatha kwintabalala yabo; kodwa yena ekusweleni kwakhe uphose yonke into abenayo. Luka 21:1-4 Isihlwele sonke saphakama, samsa kuPilato. Baqala ukummangalela, besithi, Simfumene lo mntu ekhohlisa uhlanga, engavumi ukuba kuhlawulwe irhafu kuKesare, esithi yena unguKristu ukumkani. UPilato wambuza wathi, UnguKumkani wamaYuda na? Waphendula wathi, Utsho nawe. Waza wathi uPilato kubabingeleli abakhulu nakubantu, Andifumani tyala kulo mntu. Luka 23:1-4 Emva kwalowo kwavela uYuda waseGalili ngemihla yobhaliso, watsalela abantu abaninzi emva kwakhe; naye watshabalala, bonke abamthobelayo bachithwachithwa. IZenzo 5:37
Iileta Kuba ngenxa yesi sizathu ninikela irhafu, kuba bangabalungiseleli bakaThixo, behlala besebenza loo nto. Ngoko ke banikeni bonke okubafaneleyo: irhafu kofanelwe yirhafu; umrhumo kofanelwe yirhafu; uloyiko kofanelwe luloyiko; imbeko kofanelwe yimbeko. KwabaseRoma 13:6-7 Ke bona abo bakoonyana bakaLevi, abamkelayo isikhundla sobubingeleli, banomthetho wokuthatha isishumi ebantwini ngokomthetho, oko kukuthi, kubazalwana babo, nangona bephuma esinqeni sikaAbraham: Kodwa lowo ungabalwanga kubo inzala yakhe, wathabatha isishumi kuAbraham, wasikelela lowo wayenamadinga. Kwaye ngaphandle kokuphikiswa, omncinci uyasikelelwa ngoyena mkhulu. Kwaye apha abantu abafayo bamkela isishumi; kodwa yena ufumana isishumi, lowo kungqinwa ngaye ukuba uphila. Kwaye ndingathi, noLevi, ofumana isishumi, wahlawula isishumi ngoAbraham. Hebhere 7:5-9
I-Apocrypha Abantu bathabatha uYehowahazi unyana kaYosiya, bamenza ukumkani esikhundleni sikaYosiya uyise, eneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesithathu ubudala. Walawula kwaYuda naseYerusalem iinyanga ezintathu; waza ukumkani waseYiputa wamsusa ebukumkanini eYerusalem. Wabeka irhafu yelizwe yekhulu leetalente zesilivere netalente enye yegolide. 1 Esdras 1:34-36 Kukumkani uArtexerxes inkosi yethu, kubakhonzi bakho, kuRathumus umbhali webali, nakuSemellius umbhali, nakuwo onke amalungu ebhunga labo, nakubagwebi abaseCelosyria naseFenike. Makwazeke ngoku enkosini kumkani, ukuba amaYuda aphuma kuwe eze kuthi, efikile eYerusalem, loo mzi uvukelayo nongendawo, ayakha iindawo zentengiso, alungise iindonga zawo, abeke isiseko setempile. Ngoku ukuba lo mzi neendonga zawo ziyakhiwa kwakhona, aziyi kwala nje ukuhlawula irhafu, kodwa ziya kuvukela nookumkani. 1 Esdras 2:17-19

Ngokunjalo ke nakwabo bangengabo amajoni, abangenanto yakwenza neemfazwe, kodwa besebenzisa ukulima, xa sele bevunile kwakhona oko bakuhlwayeleyo, bazisa kukumkani, baze banyanzelane ukuba bahlawule irhafu kukumkani. 1 Esdras 4:6 Ngaphezu koko, wabhalela onke amaYuda aphuma ebukumkanini bakhe aya kwaYuda, malunga nenkululeko yawo, ukuba kungabikho gosa, mlawuli, sekela-mphathi, okanye umgcini-mali, oya kungena ngenkani eminyango yawo; nokuba lonke ilizwe aliphetheyo lifanele likhululeke ngaphandle kwerhafu; nokuba amaEdom afanele anikele kwiilali zamaYuda awayeziphethe ngelo xesha: Ewe, kufuneka kunikwe iitalente ezingamashumi amabini ngonyaka ekwakhiweni kwetempile, kude kube lixesha lokwakhiwa kwayo; kunye nezinye iitalente ezilishumi ngonyaka, ukugcina amadini atshiswayo esibingelelweni imihla ngemihla, njengoko babenomyalelo wokunikela ngeshumi elinesixhenxe: Kwaye bonke abo baphuma eBhabheli ukuya kwakha isixeko kufuneka babe nenkululeko ekhululekileyo, kunye nabo bonke inzala yabo, kunye nabo bonke ababingeleli abamkayo. 1 Esdras 4:49-53 Amadoda alapho ayezinikele ekuvukeleni nasekulweni: nokuba ookumkani abanamandla nabanamandla babekho eYerusalem, ababelawula kwaye bebiza iminikelo eCelosyria naseFenike. 1 Esdras 2:27 Ndikwayalele ukuba yakhiwe kwakhona; nokuba bajonge ngenkuthalo ukunceda abo bangabathinjwa bamaYuda, ide indlu kaYehova igqitywe: Kwaye kwirhafu yaseCelosyria naseFenike, isabelo esiza kunikwa la madoda ngeminikelo yeNkosi, oko kukuthi, kuZerubhabheli irhuluneli, ngeenkunzi zeenkomo, nangeenkunzi zeegusha, nangeemvana; Kwanombona, netyuwa, newayini, neoli, kwaye oko rhoqo minyaka le ngaphandle kokubuzwa, njengoko ababingeleli abaseYerusalem baya kubonisa ukuba kufuneka kusetyenziswe imihla ngemihla: Ukuze kunikelwe iminikelo kuThixo oPhezukonke ngenxa yokumkani nabantwana bakhe, kwaye bathandazele ubomi babo. 1 Esdras 6:28-31 Kananjalo ndiyaniyalela ukuba ningahlawuli rhafu, okanye naluphi na olunye uxanduva, kuye nawuphi na kubabingeleli, okanye kubaLevi, okanye kwiimvumi ezingcwele, okanye kubagcinimasango, okanye kubalungiseleli betempile, okanye kubo bonke abenza imisebenzi kule tempile, kwaye akukho mntu unegunya lokubanyanzela nantoni na. 1 Esdras 8:22 Kuzo zonke izipho zakho bonisa ubuso obuchwayitileyo, kwaye unikele izishumi zakho ngovuyo. Ecclesiasticus 35:9 Waqokelela umkhosi onamandla amakhulu, walawula amazwe, neentlanga, nookumkani, ababa ngabasebenzi berhafu kuye. 1 Maccabees 1:4 Emva kweminyaka emibini iphelile ukumkani wathumela umphathi wakhe werhafu kwizixeko zakwaYuda, ezafika eYerusalem nesihlwele esikhulu, waza wathetha amazwi oxolo kubo, kodwa konke oko kwakuyinkohliso: kuba bakuba bemkholelwe, wahlasela isixeko ngequbuliso, wasibetha kabuhlungu, watshabalalisa abantu abaninzi bakwaSirayeli. 1 Maccabees 1:29-30 Nangona kunjalo, xa wabona ukuba imali yobuncwane bakhe iphelile kwaye irhafu kwilizwe yayincinci, ngenxa yengxabano nobhubhani, awayewuzise kulo ilizwe ngokususa imithetho eyayikho kudala; woyika ukuba akayi kukwazi ukuthwala ezo ndleko, nokuba abe nezipho ezinjalo zokunikela ngesisa njengangaphambili: kuba wayeninzi ngaphezu kookumkani ababengaphambi kwakhe. Ngenxa yoko, edidekile kakhulu engqondweni yakhe, wazimisela ukuya ePersi, apho ukuze athabathe irhafu yamazwe, aze aqokelele imali eninzi. 1 Maccabees 3:29-31 7

Bazisa neengubo zababingeleli, neentlahlela, nezishumi; bavuselela amaNazarete, awayegqibile imihla yawo. 1 Maccabees 3:49 Kwaye ukuba babengamadoda anobukroti obukhulu. Waxelelwa nangeemfazwe zabo nezenzo zabo ezintle ababezenzile phakathi kwamaGalati, nendlela ababeboyisile ngayo, baza babafaka phantsi kwerhafu; Nokuba ngemigaqo yabo nangomonde wabo bayoyisile yonke indawo, nangona yayikude kakhulu kubo; kunye nookumkani ababeza kubahlasela bevela eziphelweni zomhlaba, bade babachithachitha, babanika ubhukuqo olukhulu, kangangokuba abanye babebanika irhafu minyaka le: Nokuba bamthabatha njani ephila, baza bavumelana ukuba yena nabo babelawula emva kwakhe bahlawule irhafu enkulu, baze banike abathinjwa, kunye noko kwakuvunyelwene ngako, 1 Maccabees 8:2,4,7 Ngoku ke ndiyanikhulula, kwaye ngenxa yenu ndikhulula onke amaYuda, kwirhafu, nakwimirhumo yetyuwa, nakwirhafu yesithsaba, Kwaye kwinto endifanele ndiyifumane ngenxalenye yesithathu okanye imbewu, nesiqingatha seziqhamo zemithi, ndiyayikhulula ukususela namhlanje, ukuze ingathathwa kwilizwe lakwaYuda, okanye koorhulumente abathathu abongezelelwe kulo bevela kwilizwe laseSamariya naseGalili, ukususela namhlanje kuse ephakadeni. IYerusalem mayibe ngcwele kwaye ikhululeke, kunye nemida yayo, kokubini ukusuka kwishumi ukuya kwirhafu. 1 Maccabees 10:29-31 Ngaphezu koko ndikhulula ngokukhululekileyo onke amaYuda, awayethinjwe kwilizwe lakwaYuda, aye nakweyiphi na indawo yobukumkani bam, kwaye ndiya kuvumela onke amagosa am ukuba ahlawule irhafu kwaneenkomo zawo. 1 Maccabees 10:33 UYonatan wacela ukumkani ukuba akhulule uJuda kwirhafu, njengoko kunjalo nangoorhulumente abathathu, kunye nelizwe laseSamariya; waza wamthembisa iitalente ezingamakhulu amathathu. 1 Maccabees 11:28 Kwaye ngokubhekisele kwezinye izinto zethu, kwizishumi nakwirhafu eziphathelele thina, njengemigodi yetyuwa, kunye nerhafu yesithsaba, esimele siyihlawule kuzo zonke ukuze zifumane uncedo. 1 Maccabees 11:35 Ngokuphathelele naluphi na uphoso okanye isiphako esenziwe kude kube namhlanje, siyasixolela, kunye nerhafu yesithsaba, enisifaneleyo: kwaye ukuba bekukho olunye urhafu oluhlawulweyo eYerusalem, alusayi kuphinda luhlawulwe. 1 Maccabees 13:39 Ngoko ke nikelani izixeko enizithimbileyo, kunye nerhafu yeendawo enizilawule ngaphandle kwemida yakwaYuda: Okanye ndinikeni iitalente zesilivere ezingamakhulu amahlanu ngenxa yazo; kwaye ngenxa yomonakalo eniwenzileyo, kunye nerhafu yezixeko, ezinye iitalente ezingamakhulu amahlanu; ukuba akunjalo, siya kuza silwe nani. 1 Maccabees 15:30-31 Ngoko ke uNikanore wazibophelela ekufumaneni imali eninzi kumaYuda asekuthinjweni, njengoko kwakufanele ahlawule irhafu yeetalente ezingamawaka amabini, awayeza kuzihlawula ukumkani kumaRoma. 2 Maccabees 8:10 Ngaloo ndlela, lowo wathabatha imbopheleleko yokubuyisela irhafu kumaRoma ngokusebenzisa abathinjwa eYerusalem, waxelela kwamanye amazwe ukuba amaYuda ayenoThixo wokuwalwela, ngoko ke ayengenakulinyazwa, kuba ayelandela imithetho awayewanike yona. 2 Maccabees 8:36

Irhafu kunye neshumi
...Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Mateyu 22:21
IJasher UKedorlahomere, ukumkani wakwa-Elam, wemka kwiintsapho zoonyana bakaHam, walwa nabo, waboyisa, waya kwizixeko ezihlanu zethafa, walwa nabo, waboyisa, baza baba phantsi kolawulo lwakhe. Bamkhonza iminyaka elishumi elinesibini, bamnika irhafu yonyaka. UJasher 11:10-11 Ngomnyaka wesihlanu wokuhlala kuka-Abram ezweni lakwaKanan, abantu baseSodom naseGomora nazo zonke izixeko zasethafeni bavukela uKedorlahomere, ukumkani wase-Elam; kuba bonke ookumkani bezixeko zasethafeni babekhonza uKedorlahomere iminyaka elishumi elinesibini, bemnika irhafu yonyaka, kodwa ngaloo mihla kunyaka weshumi elinesithathu, bamvukela. Jasher 13:11 Siyazi ukuba lisiko lookumkani ukuqokelela irhafu yonyaka kwabaphilayo, kodwa wena awukwenzi oku kuphela, kodwa uyabiza kwabafileyo irhafu imihla ngemihla. Ukumkani waphendula wathi kuRikayon, Igama lakho alisayi kuba sabizwa ngokuba yiRikayon, kodwa igama lakho liya kuba nguFaro, kuba wena wawubiza irhafu kwabafileyo; waza wamthiya igama lokuba nguFaro. URikayon UFaro wathabatha urhulumente waseYiputa ngobuqhophololo, waza wabiza bonke abemi baseYiputa irhafu. UJasher 14:19,27,31 Wasuka uAbram nabo bonke abakhe emlanjeni iMizraim, bafika eYiputa; kwathi bengekangeni emasangweni esixeko, abalindi basukuma bathi kubo, Nikani ukumkani isishumi kwizinto eninazo, nize ningene esixekweni; uAbram nabo babenaye benjenjalo. UAbram nabantu ababenaye bafika eYiputa, bafika bazisa ibhokisi eyayifihliwe kuyo uSarayi, amaYiputa ayibona ibhokisi. Abakhonzi bokumkani basondela kuAbram, bathi, Unantoni na apha kweli bhokisi, esingayibonanga? Yivule ngoku ibhokisi, unike ukumkani isishumi sayo yonke into ekuyo. UJasher 15:8-10 Oonyana bakaYakobi babafungisa ukuba abayi kubaphazamisa, yaye bonke ookumkani bamaKanan babafungisa, baza oonyana bakaYakobi babasebenzisa njengeebhaso ukususela ngaloo mini. Kwaye lonke iYiputa laliphantsi kolawulo lukaYosefu, uYosefu walwa nazo zonke iintshaba zakhe ezazimngqongile, waza wazithoba; nalo lonke ilizwe nawo onke amaFilisti, ukuya kwimida yaseKanan, uYosefu woyisa, kwaye bonke babephantsi kolawulo lwakhe kwaye bamnika umrhumo wonyaka kuYosefu. Kwaye onke amazwe amaFilisti neKanan neSidon, naphesheya kweYordan, azisa izipho kuYosefu yonke imihla yakhe, kwaye lonke ilizwe lalisesandleni sikaYosefu, kwaye bazisa kuye umrhumo wonyaka njengoko wawumiselwe, kuba uYosefu wayelwe nazo zonke iintshaba zakhe ezazimngqongile waza wazithoba, kwaye lonke ilizwe lalisesandleni sikaYosefu, kwaye uYosefu wahlala etroneni yakhe eYiputa. UJasher 58:8,12 Kwathi ke ngonyaka wamashumi asibhozo anesine, ngumnyaka wamashumi amahlanu wolawulo lukaHadadi, unyana kaBhedadi, ukumkani wakwaEdom, uHadadi wahlanganisa bonke oonyana bakaEsawu, walungiselela umkhosi wakhe wonke, malunga namakhulu amane amawaka amadoda, waza waqondisa indlela yakhe ukuya kwilizwe lakwaMowabhi, waya kulwa namaMowabhi waza wawasebenzisa njengeebhaso kuye. Akuba onke amaMidiyan etshabalele edabini, kwaye abantwana bakwaMowabhi bebalekile, uHadadi wawenza onke amaMowabhi njengeebhaso kuye ngelo xesha, kwaye aba phantsi kwesandla sakhe, kwaye babenikela irhafu yonyaka njengoko yayimiselwe, waza uHadadi wajika wabuyela ezweni lakhe. UJasher 62:6,13 Ngoko ke uKikianus waya e-Aram nakubantu baseMpuma, walwa nabo, wababulala, baza bonke bawa belimele phambi kukaKikianus nabantu bakhe. Wathabatha abaninzi kubo wabathimba,

wabathoba njengakuqala, waza wamisa iintente kwilizwe labo ukuze athathe irhafu kubo njengesiqhelo. UKikianus walwa nama-Aram nabantwana baseMpuma, wabathoba njengangaphambili, baza bamnika irhafu yabo yesiqhelo, waza wahamba wabuyela kwilizwe lakhe. UJasher 72:4-5,11 Bonke abantu basempuma bajika babuya umva, waza uMoses nabantwana bakwaKushi babalandela, babathoba, bababeka irhafu, njengoko kwakunjalo ngokwesiko labo. Ama-Aram nawo oyiswa nguMoses nabantu bakwaKushi, kwaye nawo anikela irhafu yawo eqhelekileyo. UJasher 73:43,46 U-Abiyanus wabeka amagosa e-Edom, baza bonke oonyana baka-Edom baba phantsi kuka-Abiyanus, waza u-Abiyanus wabuyela kwilizwe lakhe, iKitim. Ngexesha lokulawula kwakhe wakhupha umkhosi, waza waya kulwa nabemi baseBritannia naseKernania, oonyana bakaElisha unyana kaYavan, waboyisa waza wabafaka emsebenzini. UJasher 90:10,29
IiJubhili UYakobi wavuka kusasa, ngomhla weshumi elinesine kule nyanga, wanikela isishumi sabo bonke ababenaye, abantu neenkomo, igolide nazo zonke iimpahla neengubo, ewe, wanikela isishumi sabo bonke. Wanikela ngesishumi kuzo zonke izilwanyana ezicocekileyo, wenza idini elitshiswayo, kodwa izilwanyana ezingahlambulukanga wazinika (hayi) uLevi unyana wakhe, waza wamnika yonke imiphefumlo yabantu. ULevi wasebenza njengombingeleli eBheteli phambi kukaYakobi uyise ngaphezu kwabazalwana bakhe abalishumi, kwaye wayengumbingeleli apho, waza uYakobi wenza isifungo sakhe: ngaloo ndlela wanikela isishumi kwakhona eNkosini waza wasingcwalisa, saba ngcwele kuye. Ngenxa yesi sizathu kumiselwe emacwecweni asezulwini njengomthetho wokuba kubuyiselwe isishumi kwakhona isishumi sokutya phambi kweNkosi unyaka nonyaka, kwindawo apho kukhethwe khona igama lakhe, kwaye kulo mthetho akukho mda weentsuku ngonaphakade. Lo myalelo ubhaliwe ukuba ungazaliseka unyaka nonyaka ekutyeni isishumi sesibini phambi kweNkosi kwindawo apho sikhethwe khona, kwaye akukho nto iya kusala kuyo ukususela kulo nyaka ukuya kunyaka olandelayo. IiJubhili 32:8-11 Zonke izishumi zeenkomo nezeegusha mazibe ngcwele kuYehova, zibe zezababingeleli bakhe, abaya kuzidla phambi kwakhe iminyaka ngeminyaka; kuba zimiselwe kwaye zikrolwe ngolu hlobo malunga nesishumi kumacwecwe asezulwini. IiJubhili 32:15 Wabanqoba, wabamisela irhafu ukuze bamnike irhafu, iziqhamo ezintlanu zomhlaba wabo, waza wakha iRobel neTamnatares. IiJubhili 34:8 UYakobi wathumela umyalezo koonyana bakhe wokuba baxolelane, baza baxolelana nabo, babeka idyokhwe yobukhoboka phezu kwabo, kangangokuba banikela irhafu kuYakobi nakoonyana bakhe rhoqo. Baqhubeka benikela irhafu kuYakobi kwada kwayimini awahla ngayo eYiputa. IiJubhili 38:12-13
Iincwadi Ezilahlekileyo ZeBhayibhile Kwathi ke, kwaphuma umyalelo kuMlawuli uAgasto wokuba onke amaYuda aseBhetelehem kwelakwaYuda abhaliswe: Wathi uYosefu, Ndiya kuqinisekisa ukuba abantwana bam babhalisiwe: kodwa ndiza kwenza ntoni ngale ntombazana? Ukuba ndiyibhalise njengomfazi wam ndiya kuba 10

neentloni; kwaye ukuba ndiyibhalise njengentombi yam, wonke uSirayeli uyazi ukuba ayintombi yam. Xa kufika ixesha lokumisela kweNkosi, makenze oko kulungileyo kuye. Wayibopha iesile, wayikhwelisa kulo, uYosefu noSimon bamlandela, bafika eBhetelehem kwiikhilomitha ezintathu. IProtevangelion 12:1-5 Ngomnyaka wamakhulu amathathu anesithoba wexesha lika-Aleksandire, u-Agasto wapapasha umthetho wokuba bonke abantu mabahambe baye kubhaliswa elizweni labo. UYosefu wasuka ke, waya eYerusalem kunye noMariya, umkakhe, waza wafika eBhetelehem, ukuze yena nosapho lwakhe babhaliswe kwisixeko sooyise. IVangeli Yokuqala Yobuntwana BukaYesu Kristu 1:4-5
Iincwadi Ezilityaliweyo zase-Eden Ngexesha apho oobawo bethu babenoxolo olukhulu ngokugcinwa koMthetho, kwaye babevuya, kangangokuba uSeleucus Nicanor, ukumkani wase-Asiya, wavuma irhafu yenkonzo yasetempileni, waza waqonda ukuba singabantu abanjani, ngoko ke, amadoda athile, enza ngokuchasene nesivumelwano, asifaka kwiintlekele ezininzi ezahlukeneyo. 4 Maccabees 2:10 Bendisoloko ndinqwenela ukwakha inqaba phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba, kwaye ndifuna undithumelele indoda elumkileyo nekrelekrele evela kuwe ukuba indakhele yona, kwaye indiphendule yonke imibuzo yam, kwaye ndifumane irhafu kunye neerhafu zerhafu zaseAsiriya kangangeminyaka emithathu. Ibali lika-Ahikar 4:2 Basicaphukisile baza basoyisa, kwaye uninzi lwabantu belizwe lethu babalekele eYiputa ngenxa yokoyika irhafu ethunyelwe ngukumkani waseYiputa ukuba ayifune kuthi. Waza wathi kukumkani: 'Musa ukucaphuka, nkosi yam! Ndiya kuya eYiputa, ndize ndibuyisele iimpendulo kuFaro, ndize ndimbonise le leta, ndize ndimphendule malunga nerhafu, ndize ndibabuyisele bonke abo babalekileyo; ndize ndizihlazise iintshaba zakho ngoncedo lukaThixo Osenyangweni, nangenxa yolonwabo lobukumkani bakho.' Ibali lika-Ahikar 5:5,7 Kodwa, nkosi yam kumkani, oko ukuthethileyo kuyo malunga nerhafu yaseYiputa iminyaka emithathu, ngoku ukuzinza kobukumkani bubulungisa obungqongqo, kwaye ukuba uyaphumelela kwaye isandla sam asinabuchule bokukuphendula, ke inkosi yam ukumkani iya kukuthumelela irhafu oyikhankanyileyo. Ibali lika-Ahikar 5:24 Akubona uFaro ukuba uHaiqâr umoyisile, waza wambuyisela iimpendulo zakhe, wakhawuleza wavuya, waza wabayalela ukuba bamqokelele irhafu yeminyaka emithathu, baze bayizise eHaiqâr. Emva koko ukumkani waqala ukumbuza ukuba wayeqhubana njani noFaro ukususela ekufikeni kwakhe okokuqala de waphuma phambi kwakhe, nendlela awaphendula ngayo yonke imibuzo yakhe, nendlela awayifumana ngayo irhafu kuye, kunye nokutshintsha kwempahla kunye nezipho. USaneribhe ukumkani wavuya kakhulu, wathi kuHaiqâr, 'Thatha nantoni na oyifunayo kule rhafu, kuba yonke into isesandleni sakho.' Ibali lika-Ahikar 6:36,46-47 Asibenzanga nto imbi kubo, baba luxanduva kuthi, saza sababuyisela amaxhoba abo kubo. Emva koko bacela uxolo kuthi, baza emva kokucebisana nobawo, sabamkela njengeerhafu. Basinike amakhulu amahlanu eekore zengqolowa, amakhulu amahlanu eebhate zeoyile, amakhulu amahlanu eekore zewayini, de kwafika indlala, xa saya eYiputa. ITestamente kaYuda 2:8-9
