1 U-Israyeli wahlala eShithimi; abantu baqala ukuphinga namadodakazi akwaMowabi,
2 ngokuba babiza abantu ukuba beze emihlatshelweni yawonkulunkulu babo; abantu badla, bakhothamela onkulunkulu babo.
3 U-Israyeli wazihlanganisa noBali Peyori. Intukuthelo kaJehova yayisimvuthela u-Israyeli.
4 UJehova wathi kuMose: “Thabatha zonke izinhloko zabantu, uziphanyekele uJehova elangeni, ukuze intukuthelo evuthayo kaJehova ibuye ku-Israyeli.”
5 UMose wathi kubo abahluleli bakwa-Israyeli: “Bulalani, kube yilowo nalowo abantu bakhe abazihlanganisile noBali Peyori.”
