UMose wayeselusa umhlambi kaJetiro umukhwe wakhe, umpristi wakwaMidiyani; wahola umhlambi emva kwehlane, wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu kuze kufike eHorebe.
Kwabonakala kuye ingelosi kaJehova elangabini lomlilo esihlahleni somunga;
Wayesethi uMose: “Mangiphambuke, ngibone lo mbono omkhulu, ukuthi isihlahla somunga asishiswanga ngani.”
Kwathi uJehova ebona ukuthi uphendukile ukuthi abone, uNkulunkulu wambiza esesihlahleni somunga, wathi: “Mose, Mose! Wathi: “Ngilapha.”
Wathi: “Ungasondeli; khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.
Futhi wathi: NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe. UMose wafihla ubuso bakhe; ngoba wayesaba ukubuka uNkulunkulu.
UJehova wathi: “Ngikubonile nokukubona ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibithe, nokukhala kwabo ngezinceku zabo ngikuzwile; ngokuba ngiyazazi izinsizi zabo;
Futhi ngehla ukuze ngibasindise esandleni sabaseGibhithe futhi ngibaqeqeshe baphume kulelo zwe ngibayise ezweni elihle nelikhulu, ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi; endaweni yamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi;
Manje, bheka, ukukhala kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwafika kimi, futhi ngabona ukucindezela abaseGibhithe ababebacindezela ngakho.
Woza manje, ngizakuthuma kuFaro, ukhiphe eGibithe abantu bami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngiye kuFaro, ngikhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe na?”
Wathi: “Impela ngiyakuba nawe; lokhu kuyoba yisibonakaliso kuwe sokuthi ngikuthumile: Uma uhole abantu eGibhithe, kumelwe nikhonze uNkulunkulu kule ntaba.
