Kuthe ke, lakuba lisondele ixesha ledinga, awalifungayo uThixo kuAbraham, bakhula abantu, banda eYiputa, kwada kwavela kumkani wumbi, ubengamazi uYosefu. Lowo wabalumkisa abakowethu, wabaphatha kakubi oobawo bethu, ngokokuze bazilahle iintsana zabo, ukuze zingabudli ubomi. Ekuthe ke kwelo xesha, kwazalwa uMoses; waye emhle kuThixo, wondliwa iinyanga zantathu endlwini kayise. Wagxothwa ke, yamchola intombi kaFaro, yazondlela ukuba abe ngunyana wayo. Waqeqeshwa ke uMoses kubo bonke ubulumko bamaYiputa; waye ke eyinkunkqele ngamazwi nangezenzo. Kwathi, kwakuba yiminyaka emashumi mane, kwafika entliziyweni yakhe ukukha aye kuvelela abazalwana bakhe, oonyana bakaSirayeli. Waza wabona omnye ephathwa kakubi, wamkhusela, wamphindezelela lowo ucinezelweyo, wambulala umYiputa. Wayeba ke yena boqonda abazalwana bakhe ukuba uThixo ebeya kubasindisa ngesandla sakhe; abaqondanga ke bona. Kwathi ngengomso wabonakala kubo besilwa, wabanyanzela ukuba baxolisane, esithi, Madoda, niyazalana nina; yini na ukuba nonane? Kodwa yena lowo wayemonile ummelwane wakhe wamgiba, esithi, Umiswe ngubani na ukuba ube ngumphathi nomahluli phakathi kwethu? Uza kundibulala na nam, njengokuba umbulele umYiputa izolo? Wasaba ke uMoses ngelo lizwi, waba ngumphambukeli ezweni lakwaMidiyan, apho wazalela khona oonyana ababini.
