Akaenderera mberi nokuporofita kwake achiti, “Chirevo chaBhiriamu mwanakomana waBheori, chirevo chomurume akapengenutswa meso ake. Chirevo chomunhu anonzwa mashoko aMwari, anoona chiratidzo chaSamasimbaose, anoti pasi zvambarara meso ake achipengenutswa. A-a manakiroi akaita matendhe ako Jakobho, naiwoka madzikiro ako matendhe iwe Isiraeri! Akaita samapani anoenda uko nokoko, samapindu ari munhivi dzerwizi samagavakava, akasimwa naTenzi, semisidhari iri padeketeke remvura. Zvirongo zvavo zvichafashukira nemvura, mbesa dzavo dzichawana mvura yakawanda. Kukudzwa kwamambo wavo kuchadarika kwaAgagi, ushe hwake huchaita mukurumbira. Mwari akavaburitsa kuIjipiti, achivarwira nesimba semvumba, ndudzi dzavanhu dzinovavenga vachadziparadza, mapfupa avavengi vavo vachaati bwabwabwa vachivabvoora nemiseve yavo. Seshumba vaIsiraeri vanoti hwata vachivata pasi, vanoita seshumba hadzi, ndianiko angavadenhe. Wose anokukomborera, ngaakomborerwe.
