14 UJehova wayesephenduka ebubini abethi uzakubenza kubantu bakhe.
15 UMose waphenduka, wehla entabeni enezibhebhe zombili zobufakazi esandleni sakhe, izibhebhe ezazilotshwe nxazombili, zalotshwa ngalapha nangalapha.
16 Izibhebhe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, nokuloba kwakungukuloba kukaNkulunkulu, kuqoshiwe ezibhebheni.
17 UJoshuwa wezwa umsindo wabantu bekhamuluka, wathi kuMose: “Kukhona umsindo wempi ekamu.”*
18 Wathi: “Akusilo izwi labahalalisa ngokunqoba, akusilo izwi lokukhala ngokunqotshwa, kepha ngizwa umsindo wabahlabelelayo.”
19 Kwathi esasondela ekamu,* wabona ithole nokusina; ulaka lukaMose lwase luvutha, wazilahla izibhebhe ezandleni zakhe, wazaphula phansi kwentaba.
20 Wayeselithatha ithole ababelenzile, walishisa ngomlilo, walicolisisa laze laba luthuli, walivumvuzela emanzini, wabaphuzisa wona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
