UNumeri 14:40-45

Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, benyukela esiqongweni sentaba, bathi: “Bhekani, sesilapha, kepha siyakuya endaweni ayithembisile uJehova, ngokuba sonile.” UMose wathi: “Neqelani izwi likaJehova na? Akuyikuphumelela. Ningenyuki, ngokuba uJehova akakho phakathi kwenu, ukuba ningashaywa ebusweni bezitha zenu. Ngokuba ama-Amaleki namaKhanani alapho ngaphambi kwenu; niyakuwa ngenkemba, lokhu nibuyele emuva ekumlandeleni uJehova; ngalokho uJehova akayikuba khona phakathi kwenu.” Ngokuzidla bakhuphukela nokho esiqongweni sentaba, kepha umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova noMose awuphumanga ekamu.* Ayesehla ama-Amaleki kanye namaKhanani ayehlala kuleyo ntaba, abashaya, abaqothula kwaze kwaba seHorma.
