1 Ngasemuva oMose no-Aroni bafika, bathi kuFaro: “Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangenzele umkhosi ehlane.’ ”
2 Wathi uFaro: “Ngubani uJehova ukuba ngilalele izwi lakhe, ngimyeke u-Israyeli ukuba ahambe na? Angimazi uJehova, futhi angiyikumvumela u-Israyeli ukuba ahambe.”
3 Base bethi: “UNkulunkulu wamaHeberu uhlangene nathi; ake sihambe ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu, siye ehlane, sihlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, funa asehlele ngesifo nangenkemba.”
4 Inkosi yaseGibithe yathi kubo: “Nibakhumulelani abantu emithwalweni yabo nina Mose no-Aroni na? Hambani, niye emisebenzini yenu.”
5 UFaro wathi: “Bheka, abantu sebebaningi ezweni, nokho niyabaphumuza emithwalweni yabo.”
