3 UMose wakhuphukela kuNkulunkulu; uJehova esentabeni wamemeza kuye, wathi: “Yisho kuyo indlu kaJakobe, ubatshele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi:
4 ‘Nibonile lokhu engikwenzile kwabaseGibithe nokuthi nganithwala ngamaphiko okhozi, nganisondeza kimi.
5 Kalokhu uma nilalela nokulalela izwi lami, nigcine isivumelwano sami, niyakuba yigugu kimi kunazo zonke izizwe, ngokuba umhlaba wonke ungowami,
6 nibe ngumbuso wabapristi kimi, nesizwe esingcwele. Yilawo mazwi ozakuwakhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.’ ”
7 UMose wafika, wabiza amalunga abantu, wabeka phambi kwabo onke lawo mazwi uJehova amyale ngawo.
8 Bonke abantu baphendula kanyekanye, bathi: “Konke akukhulumileyo uJehova siyakukwenza.” UMose wabuyisela kuJehova amazwi abantu.
9 UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bheka, ngiza kuwe ngefu elinzima ukuba abantu bezwe, nxa ngikhuluma nawe, bakholwe nguwe kuze kube phakade.” UMose walandisa uJehova amazwi abantu.
