16 Wothi kuye: ‘UJehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, ungithume kuwe, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe bangikhonze ehlane; bheka, kuze kube manje awulalelanga.
17 UJehova usho kanje, uthi: Ngalokhu uyokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova: bheka, ngenduku esesandleni sami ngiyakushaya phezu kwamanzi asemfuleni, aphenduke igazi.
18 Izinhlanzi ezisemfuleni ziyakufa, umfula unuke; abaseGibithe bayakunengwa ngukuphuza amanzi emfuleni.’ ”
19 UJehova wathi kuMose: “Yisho ku-Aroni, uthi: ‘Thatha induku yakho, welule isandla sakho phezu kwamanzi aseGibithe, naphezu kwemifula, naphezu kweminonjana yabo, naphezu kweziziba, naphezu kwamachibi amanzi abo onke ukuba aphenduke igazi,’ kube khona igazi ezweni lonke laseGibithe ezitsheni zemithi nasezitsheni zamatshe.”
20 OMose no-Aroni base bekwenza-ke njengalokho uJehova ebayalile; waphakamisa induku, washaya amanzi asemfuleni emehlweni kaFaro nasemehlweni ezinceku zakhe; onke amanzi asemfuleni aphenduka igazi.
21 Izinhlanzi zasemfuleni zafa; umfula wanuka; abaseGibithe babengenakuphuza amanzi asemfuleni; igazi lalikhona ezweni lonke laseGibithe.
22 Izanusi zaseGibithe zenze njalo ngemilingo yazo, yaze yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro; kabalalelanga, njengalokho eshilo uJehova.
