Akaringa-ringa, zvino achiona kuti hapana munhu aripo, akauraya muIjipiti, akamuviga mujecha. Akabudazve nezuva rechipiri, akaona varume vaviri vaHebheru vachirwa; akati kuna iye waiva nemhosva, “Unorovereiko munhu wokwako?” Iye akati, “Ndianiko akakuita ishe nomutongi wedu?

Asi Mosesi akatiza pamberi paFarao, akandogara kunyika yeMidhiani, akagara pasi patsime. Zvino mupristi weMidhiani akanga ana vakunda vanomwe; ivo vakauya kuzochera mvura, vakazadza zvinwiro, kuti vanwise makwai ababa vavo. Vafudzi vakauya, vakavadzingapo, asi Mosesi akasimuka, akavabatsira, akanwisa makwai avo.
