INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngibuthele amadoda angamatshumi ayisikhombisa kubadala bakoIsrayeli, owaziyo ukuthi bangabadala babantu lezinduna zabo; uwalethe etendeni lokuhlangana, ukuze ame khona nawe.
Ngiyakwehla, ngikhulume nawe khona; ngiyakuthatha okukaMoya ophezu kwakho, ngikubeke phezu kwazo; futhi bayothwala umthwalo wabantu kanye nawe, ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.
Uzakuthi ebantwini: Zingcweliseni kusasa, lizakudla inyama; ngoba nakhala phambi kukaJehova, lathi: Ngubani ozasipha inyama sidle? ngoba kwakusihambela kuhle eGibhithe; ngalokho uJehova uyakuninika inyama, nidle.
Aniyikudla usuku olulodwa noma izinsuku ezimbili noma ezinhlanu noma izinsuku eziyishumi noma izinsuku ezingamashumi amabili;
Kodwa inyanga yonke, ize iphume emakhaleni enu, ibe yisinengiso kini, ngoba layidelela iNkosi ephakathi kwenu, lakhala phambi kwayo, lathi: Saphumelani eGibhithe?
Wathi uMose: “Abantu engiphakathi kwabo bayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha abahamba ngezinyawo; wathi: Ngizabanika inyama, ukuze badle inyanga yonke.
Umhlambi wezimvu lezifuyo uzahlatshelwa bona ubanele yini? Noma bayobuthwa zonke izinhlanzi zolwandle ukuze zibanele?
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Isandla seNkosi sifitshane yini? manje uzobona ukuthi izwi lami lizakuza kuwe noma qha.
UMose waphuma, wakhuluma amazwi kaJehova kubantu, wabutha amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga abantu, ahlala ezungeza itabernakele.
INkosi yehla ngefu, yakhuluma kuye, yathatha okoMoya ophezu kwakhe, yakunika amalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa; lapho uMoya uhlezi phezu kwabo, baprofetha, kodwa abazange bayeke.
Kwasala amadoda amabili ekamu, igama lenye lalingu-Elidadi, igama lenye lalinguMedadi; umoya wahlala phezu kwabo; bangababala, kepha babengaphumi ukuya etabernakele; baprofetha ekamu.
Kwasekugijima ijaha, lamtshela uMozisi, lathi: OElidadi loMedadi baprofetha enkambeni.
UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku kaMose, omunye wezinsizwa zakhe, waphendula wathi: “Nkosi yami, Mose, banqabele.”
UMozisi wasesithi kuye: Ulobukhwele ngenxa yami yini? Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angabapha bonke abantu beNkosi babe ngabaprofethi, futhi uJehova abeke uMoya wakhe phezu kwabo!
UMose wamngenisa ekamu, yena namalunga akwa-Israyeli.
Kwasekuphuma umoya ovela eNkosini, waletha izagwaca ezivela elwandle, zawela enkambeni, njengohambo losuku ngapha langapha, ikamu inkamba, lanjengohambo losuku ngalapha. Ukuphakama kwawo kwakuyizingalo ezimbili ebusweni bomhlaba.
Abantu bavuka ngalolo suku lonke nobusuku bonke, nalo lonke usuku olulandelayo, babutha izigwaca; owabutha okuncane wabutha amahomere ayishumi, bawabela ngasekamu nxazonke.
Inyama isaphakathi kwamazinyo abo, ingakahlafunwa, intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela abantu, uJehova wabashaya abantu ngokushaywa okukhulu kakhulu.
Wabiza leyondawo ngokuthi iKibrothathava, ngokuba bambela khona izinkanuko.
Abantu basuka eKibroti-Hathava baya eHaseroti; wahlala eHaseroti.
