11 namafutha okugcoba, nempepho yamakha athaphukayo yendawo engcwele, yebo, zenze njengakho konke engikuyale ngakho.”
12 UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
13 “Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Anogcina amasabatha, ngokuba aluphawu phakathi kwami nani ezizukulwaneni zenu ukuba nazi ukuthi nginguJehova oningcwelisayo.
14 “ ‘Gcinani isabatha, ngokuba lingcwele kini; yilowo nalowo olonayo uyakubulawa nokubulawa, ngokuba osebenza umsebenzi ngalo uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.
15 Izinsuku eziyisithupha kosetshenzwa, kepha ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuyisabatha lokuphumula, lingcwele kuJehova: bonke abasebenza umsebenzi ngosuku lwesabatha bayakubulawa nokubulawa.
16 Ngalokho abakwa-Israyeli bayakuligcina isabatha, balilonde ezizukulwaneni zabo libe yisivumelwano esiphakade.
17 Liluphawu phakathi kwami nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade, ngokuba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova walenza izulu nomhlaba, kepha ngosuku lwesikhombisa waphumula, waqabuleka.’ ”
