UMose wathi kumukhwe wakhe: “Kungokuba abantu beza kimi ukuzobuza okushiwo nguNkulunkulu. Uma kunodaba phakathi kwabo, beza kimi ukuba ngahlulele phakathi komuntu nomakhelwane wakhe, bese ngibatshela imithetho nezimiso zikaNkulunkulu.”
Umukhwe kaMose wathi kuye: “Lokhu okwenzayo akukuhle. Uzozikhandla uzikhathaze wena nalaba bantu onabo, ngokuba lo msebenzi mkhulu kakhulu kunawe, awunakukwazi ukuwenza uwedwa. Manje ngilalele, ngizokweluleka, uNkulunkulu abe nawe. Ufanele ukukhulumela abantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ulethe izindaba zabo kuNkulunkulu; bafundise izimiso nemithetho, ubenze bayiqonde indlela okumele bahambe ngayo, nomsebenzi okufanele bawenze. Zifunele phakathi kwabo amadoda ahloniphekile, amesabayo uNkulunkulu, amadoda athembekile, akuzondayo ukuthola inzuzo ngokungalungile, uwabeke abe yizinduna zezinkulungwane, zamakhulu, zama-50, nezeshumi.

Uma ukwenza lokhu, noNkulunkulu ekuyala kanjalo, uyokwazi ukuma, nabantu bonke babuyele emizini yabo benokweneliswa.”
