UNumeri 14:40-45

Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, bakhuphukela esiqongweni sentaba, bathi: “Bheka, silapha, senyukela endaweni uJehova ayithembisayo, ngokuba sonile.” Wayesethi uMose: “Neqelani izwi leNkosi na?” kodwa ngeke liphumelele. Ningakhuphuki, ngokuba uJehova akakho phakathi kwenu; funa nihlulwe phambi kwezitha zenu. Ngokuba ama-Amaleki namaKhanani akhona phambi kwenu, niyakuwa ngenkemba; ngoba seniphambukile eNkosini, ngakho iNkosi kayikuba lani. Kodwa baba nesibindi sokukhuphukela esiqongweni sentaba; nokho umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova noMose abasukanga ekamu. Khona-ke ama-Amaleki kanye namaKhanani ayehlala kuleyo ntaba ehla, futhi bawanqoba, abadungadulisa kwaze kwaba seHorma.
