7 UFaro wathumela; bheka, emfuyweni yakwa-Israyeli akufanga neyodwa; kepha inhliziyo kaFaro yayilukhuni, kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe.
8 UJehova wayesethi kuMose naku-Aroni: “Caphunani izinkweshe zomlotha waseziko uMose awusakazele ngasezulwini phambi kukaFaro.
9 Uyakuba yibhuqu ezweni lonke laseGibithe, uphenduke amathumba ayakuqhamuka nezilonda kubantu nasezinkomeni ezweni lonke laseGibithe.”
10 Base bethatha umlotha waseziko, bema phambi kukaFaro; uMose wawusakazela ngasezulwini, waphenduka amathumba aqhamuka nezilonda kubantu nasezinkomeni.
11 Izanusi zazingenakuma phambi kukaMose ngenxa yamathumba, ngokuba amathumba ayekhona kuzo izanusi nakubo bonke abaseGibithe.
12 UJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, kabalalelanga, njengalokho uJehova eshilo kuMose.
13 UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Vuka ekuseni kusasa, ume phambi kukaFaro, uthi kuye: ‘UJehova, uNkulunkulu wamaHeberu, usho kanje, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, bangikhonze.
