Zvino akati: “Ngaarumbidzwe Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, uyo ashandisa ruoko rwake kuzadzisa zvaakavimbisa nomuromo wake kuna baba vangu Dhavhidhi. Nokuti akati, ‘Kubvira pazuva randakabudisa vanhu vangu Israeri kubva muIjipiti, handina kusarudza guta rorudzi rupi rweIsraeri kuti ndivake temberi, kuti Zita rangu rive ipapo, asi ndakasarudza Dhavhidhi kuti atonge vanhu vangu Israeri.’ “Baba vangu Dhavhidhi, mumwoyo mavo vaida kuvakira Zita raJehovha, Mwari weIsraeri, temberi. Asi Jehovha akati kuna baba vangu Dhavhidhi, ‘Nokuti zvakanga zviri mumwoyo mako kuti uvakire Zita rangu temberi, wakaita zvakanaka kuva naizvozvo mumwoyo mako. Kunyange zvakadaro, iwe hausi kuzovaka temberi iyi, asi mwanakomana wako, wauchabereka ndiye achavakira Zita rangu temberi.’ “Jehovha achengeta chivimbiso chaakaita: ini ndatevera panzvimbo yababa vangu Dhavhidhi, uye zvino ndigere pachigaro chokutonga chaIsraeri, sokuvimbisa kwakaita Jehovha, uye ndavakira Zita raJehovha, Mwari weIsraeri, temberi. Imomo ndakagadzira nzvimbo yeareka, iyo ine sungano yaJehovha yaakaita namadzibaba edu paakavabudisa kubva muIjipiti.”
