7 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Hamba wehle, ngoba abantu bakho owabakhuphula elizweni leGibhithej bonakalisilek; 8 baphambukile masinyane endleleni engabalaya ngayol; bazenzele ithole elibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa, balikhonza, balihlabela, bathi: Laba ngonkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphule elizweni leGibhithem. 9 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngibabonile lababantu, khangela-ke, bangabantu abantamo zilukhunin. 10 Khathesi-ke ngiyekelao ukuze ulaka lwami lubavuthele, ngibaqedep; kodwa wena ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhuluq. 11 Kodwa uMozisi wancenga ubuso beNkosi uNkulunkulu wakher wathi: Kungani, Nkosi, ulaka lwakho lubavuthela abantu bakho owabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe ngamandla amakhulu langesandla esiqinileyo? 12 Kungani amaGibhithe ezakhuluma athi: Wabakhuphela ububi ukubabulala ezintabeni, lokubaqeda ebusweni bomhlaba?s Phenduka ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho, uzisole ngobubi obumelene labantu bakhot. 13 Khumbula uAbrahama, uIsaka loIsrayeli, inceku zakho, owazifunga wena kizo wathi kuzou: Ngizakwandisa inzalo yenu njengezinkanyezi zamazuluv, lalelilizwe lonke engikhulume ngalo, ngizalipha inzalo yenu, njalo bazalidla ilifa lalo kuze kube nininini. 14 INkosi yasizisola ebubini eyayisithi izabenza ebantwini bayow.

15 UMozisi wasetshibilika wehla entabenix, lezibhebhe ezimbili zobufakazi esandleni sakhe; izibhebhe zazibhalwe inhlangothi zazo zombili; zibhalwe ngapha langapha. 16 Lezibhebhe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, lombhalo wawungumbhalo kaNkulunkulu, ubazwe ezibhebheniy. 17 Kwathi uJoshuwaz esezwile umsindo wabantu beklabalala, wathi kuMozisi: Kulomsindo wempi enkambeni. 18 Kodwa wathi: Kakusumsindo wokuklabalala kokunqoba, njalo kakusumsindo wokuklabalala kokunqotshwa; ngizwa umsindo wokuhlabelelaa.

Basebenginika lona. Ngasengiliphosela emlilweni, kwasekuphuma lelithole.

25 Kwathi uMozisi esebonile abantu ukuthi babengabambeki (ngoba uAroni wabayekela bangabambeki ukuze bayangeke kwababengabavukelag), 26 uMozisi wasesima esangweni lenkamba, wathi: Loba ngubani ongoweNkosi, keze kimi!
