18 Lapho esefika kuRehuweli uyise, wathi yena: “Yini ukuba nisheshe nibuye namuhla na?”
19 Athi: “OwaseGibithe usophulile esandleni sabelusi, futhi wasikhelela amanzi, waphuzisa izimvu.”
20 Wathi kuwo amadodakazi akhe: “Uphi yena? Nimshiyeleni na? Mbizeni, eze ukuzokudla.”
21 UMose wazimisela ukuhlala kulowo muntu; wamupha uMose uSipora indodakazi yakhe.
22 Wazala indodana, wayiqamba igama lokuthi uGereshomu,* ngokuba wathi: “Ngangingumfokazi ezweni elingesilo elami.”
23 Kwathi sekudlulile izinsuku eziningi, inkosi yaseGibithe yafa; abakwa-Israyeli babubula ngenxa yobugqila, bakhala; ukukhala kwabo kwenyukela kuNkulunkulu ngobugqila babo.
