Niyogcina isabatha ngokuba lingcwele kini. Yilowo nalowo olingcolisayo uyobulawa, nalowo owenza umsebenzi ngalo uyonqunywa phakathi kwabantu. Uyokwenza umsebenzi ngezinsuku eziyisithupha, kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa luyisabatha lokuphumula, usuku olungcwele kuSimakade. Yilowo nalowo owenza umsebenzi ngosuku lwesabatha uyobulawa. Ngakho-ke abantu bakwa-Israyeli bayoligcina isabatha, bayoligcina izizukulwane ngezizukulwane njengesivumelwano saphakade. Liwuphawu lwaphakade phakathi kwami nabantu bakwa-Israyeli, lokuthi uSimakade wadala izulu nomhlaba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha, kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa waphumula, wahlumeleleka.’ ” USimakade eseqedile ukukhuluma noMose entabeni iSinayi, wamnika izibhebhe ezimbili zesivumelwano, izibhebhe zamatshe, zibhalwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu.
