Base behlabelela uMose nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli leli gama, bekhuluma bethi:
“Ngizakuhlabelela kuJehova,
ngokuba uphakeme kakhulu;
ihhashi nenkweli yalo ukuphonse elwandle.
UJehova ungamandla ami nehubo lami;
waba yinsindiso kimi;
unguNkulunkulu wami: ngizakumdumisa,
noNkulunkulu kababa: ngizakumphakamisa.
UJehova uyindoda yempi;
nguJehova igama lakhe.
Izinqola zikaFaro nempi yakhe
ukuphonse elwandle;
izinduna zakhe ezikhethiweyo
zaminza eLwandle Olubomvu.
Izintwa ziyabasibekela;
bashona ezinzulwini njengetshe.
“Isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi,
sidumisekile ngamandla aso;
esokunene sakho, Nkosi, siyaphahlaza isitha.
Ngobukhulu bobukhosi bakho
uyachitha abakuvukelayo;
uyathuma intukuthelo yakho,
ibaqede njengamabibi.
Ngokufutha kwamakhala akho
amanzi anqwabeleka;
izifufula zema njengenqwaba,
amadlambi ashuqa phakathi kolwandle.
“Isitha sathi: ‘Ngiyakubaxosha, ngibafice,
ngahlukanise impango,
inhliziyo yami idele ngabo;
ngiyakuhosha inkemba yami,
isandla sami sibachithe.’
Waphephetha ngomoya wakho,
ulwandle lwabasibekela;
baminzisa okomthofu emanzini anamandla.
“Ngubani onjengawe Jehova
phakathi kwawonkulunkulu;
ngubani onjengawe okhazimula ngobungcwele,
owesabeka ngezibongo,
owenza izimangaliso, na?
Welula isandla sakho sokunene,
umhlaba wabagwinya.
“Ngomusa wakho wabahola abantu obahlengileyo;
ngamandla akho wabayisa
endlini yakho engcwele.
Izizwe zizwile; ziyakuthuthumela;
abakhe eFilistiya behlelwe luvalo.
Khona aphaphatheka amakhosi akwa-Edomi;
izikhulu zakwaMowabi zabanjwa yitwetwe;
bonke abakhe eKhanani baphelile amandla.
Bayehlelwa luvalo nokwesaba;
ngokobukhulu bengalo yakho bathulisa okwetshe,
baze bawele abantu bakho, Jehova,
baze bawele abantu bakho obathengileyo.
Uzakubangenisa, ubatshale entabeni yefa lakho,
indawo ozenzele yona, Jehova, ukuba uhlale kuyo,
indlu engcwele, Nkosi, eziyimisile izandla zakho.
UJehova uyakubusa kuze kube phakade.”
Ngokuba amahhashi kaFaro angena elwandle kanye nezinqola zakhe nabamahhashi bakhe, uJehova wabuyisela amanzi olwandle phezu kwabo; kepha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo ngaphakathi kolwandle. UMiriyamu umprofethikazi, udadewabo ka-Aroni, waphatha isigubhu ngesandla sakhe; bonke abesifazane baphuma emva kwakhe bephethe izigubhu, besina. UMiriyamu wabaphendula ngokuthi
