U-Eksodusi 19:3-6

UMose wakhuphukela kuNkulunkulu; uJehova esentabeni wamemeza kuye, wathi: “Yisho kuyo indlu kaJakobe, ubatshele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Nibonile lokhu engikwenzile kwabaseGibithe nokuthi nganithwala ngamaphiko okhozi, nganisondeza kimi. Kalokhu uma nilalela nokulalela izwi lami, nigcine isivumelwano sami, niyakuba yigugu kimi kunazo zonke izizwe, ngokuba umhlaba wonke ungowami, nibe ngumbuso wabapristi kimi, nesizwe esingcwele. Yilawo mazwi ozakuwakhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.’ ”
