Kwathi eseneminyaka engamashumi amane ezelwe, kwafika enhliziyweni yakhe ukuhambela abafowabo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
Ebona omunye ephathwa kabi, wamvikela, wamphindisela ocindezelweyo, wamshaya owaseGibithe;
Ngokuba wayethi abazalwane bakhe bazoqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezobakhulula ngesandla sakhe, kepha abaqondanga.
Kwathi ngangomuso wabonakala kubo belwa, wafuna babuyisane, wathi: “Madoda, ningabazalwane; niphathana kabi ngani na?
Kepha lowo owayemonile umakhelwane wakhe wamsunduza, wathi: ‘Ubekwe ngubani umbusi nomahluleli phezu kwethu na?
Usufuna ukungibulala mina, njengalokho ubulele owaseGibithe izolo na?
Ngalelo zwi uMose wabaleka, waba ngowezizwe ezweni lakwaMidiyani, lapho azala khona amadodana amabili.
Kwathi isiphelile iminyaka engamashumi amane, kwabonakala kuye ehlane lentaba yaseSinayi ingelosi yeNkosi elangabini lomlilo esihlahleni.
UMose ekubona wamangala ngalowo mbono;

obaba bethu abavumanga ukumlalela, kodwa bamxotsha kibo, babuyela eGibhithe ngezinhliziyo zabo.
Besithi kuAroni: Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu, ngoba uMozisi lo owasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.
Benza ithole ngalezo zinsuku, banikela ngomhlatshelo esithombeni, bathokoza ngemisebenzi yezandla zabo.
UNkulunkulu wayesephenduka, wabanikela ukuba bakhonze ibandla lezulu; njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lwabaprofethi ukuthi: Lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, lanikela kimi yini iminikelo lemihlatshelo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala?
Nathwala itabernakele likaMoloki, nenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRefani, imifanekiso enayenza ukuba nikhuleke kuyo;
Okhokho bethu babelethabhanekele lobufakazi enkangala njengokulaya kwakhe ekhuluma loMozisi ukuthi alenze njengomfanekiso ayewubonile.
Okhokho bethu abayilandela bayingenisa kanye loJesu empahleni yabezizwe, uNkulunkulu abaxotshayo phambi kobuso babokhokho bethu, kwaze kwaba semihleni kaDavida;
