18 Wayesehamba uMose, wabuyela kuJetiro umukhwe wakhe, wathi kuye: “Ake ngihambe, ngibuyele kubafowethu abaseGibithe, ngize ngibone ukuthi basekhona yini.”UJetiro wathi kuMose: “Hamba nokuthula.”
19 UJehova wathi kuMose kwaMidiyani: “Hamba ubuyele eGibithe, ngokuba sebafa abantu bonke abafuna ukukubulala.”
20 UMose wayesethatha umkakhe namadodana akhe, wabakhwelisa embongolweni, wabuyela ezweni laseGibithe; uMose waphatha induku kaNkulunkulu ngesandla sakhe.
21 UJehova wathi kuMose: “Ekuhambeni kwakho usubuyela eGibithe bhekisisa ukuba wenze ebusweni bukaFaro zonke izimangaliso engizibeke esandleni sakho; kepha mina ngiyakuyenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe; akayikubayeka abantu ukuba bahambe.
22 Uyakuthi kuFaro: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: U-Israyeli uyindodana yami, uyizibulo lami.
23 Ngiyakutshela: “Yiyeke indodana yami ukuba ihambe ingikhonze,” kepha awuyiyekanga; bheka, sengiyakubulala indodana yakho, izibulo lakho.’ ”
24 Kwathi endleleni endlini yezihambi uJehova wahlangana naye, wafuna ukumbulala.
