17 Kwathi, akubandulula uFaro abantu, uThixo àkabakhokela ngendlela yelizwe lamaFilisti, nakuba ibimfutshane yona: kuba wathi uThixo, hleze abantu bazohlwaye bakubona imfazwe, babuyele eYiputa.
18 UThixo wabazungulezisa abantu ngendlela yentlango yoLwandle oluBomvu.*Banyuka bexhobile oonyana bakaSirayeli, bevela ezweni laseYiputa.
19 UMoses wawathabatha wahamba nawo amathambo kaYosefu; kuba wayebafungisile nokubafungisa oonyana bakaSirayeli, esithi, UThixo uya kunivelela okunene; nize niwanyuse amathambo am, emke nani kule ndawo.
20 Banduluka eSukoti, balalisa e-Etam, enyeleni yentlango.
21 UYehova wahamba phambi kwabo ngomqulu welifu emini, ebakhokela ngendlela; ngomqulu womlilo ebusuku, ebakhanyisela, ukuze bahambe imini nobusuku.
22 Awusukanga umqulu welifu emini, nomqulu womlilo ebusuku, phambi kwabantu.
