UEksodusi 14:10-18

UFaro esesondela, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphakamisa amehlo abo, bheka, abaseGibithe babebalandela; besaba kakhulu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuleka kuJehova. Base bethi kuMose: “Ngokuba kwakungekho mathuna eGibithe wasisusa ukuba sifele ehlane na?” wasenzelani kanje, wasikhipha eGibithe na? Leli akulona yini izwi esalikhuluma kuwe eGibhithe ukuthi: Ake sime, ukuze sikhonze abaseGibhithe? Ngokuba kwakungcono kithi ukukhonza abaseGibithe kunokuba sifele ehlane. UMose wayesethi kubantu: “Ningesabi; yimani, nibone ukusindiswa kweNkosi ezonenzela khona namuhla; ngokuba abaseGibithe enibabonile namuhla anisayikubabona kuze kube phakade. UJehova uyakunilwela, nina nithule; UJehova wathi kuMose: “Ungibizelani na? khuluma nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuthi baqhubeke. Kepha wena phakamisa udondolo lwakho, welule isandla sakho phezu kolwandle, uluhlukanise, ukuze abantwana bakwa-Israyeli badabule ulwandle emhlabathini owomileyo. Mina, bheka, ngiyakuzenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabaseGibithe, bawalandele; ngizakhazimulisa uFaro lakulo lonke ibutho lakhe, lezinqola zakhe, labagadi bamabhiza bakhe. AbaseGibithe bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, uma ngimdumise uFaro, nezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.
