₁Ke kaloku kwathi amaSirayeli eselapho kwintlango yeSinayi *uNdikhoyo wathetha noMosis *esesibingelelweni. Lo ke yayingumhla wokuqala wenyanga yesibini kunyaka wesibini amaSirayeli andulukayo eJiputa. Wamyalela wenjenje: _2-3“Wena noAron yenzani ubalo, niwabale onke amaSirayeli ngokwezindlu nemizi yawo. Ewe, balani onke amadoda ayintanga yokuphuma aye emfazweni, oko kukuthi lawo akumashumi amabini eminyaka nangaphezulu. ₄Kwindlu nganye thathani inkulu inincedise.”

_5-15Nanga ke amagama ezo nkulu zakhethelwa lo msebenzi:

₁₆Ngawo ke la amadoda âkhethwáyo ebandleni beziinkulu zezindlu zakowawo, izindlu zakwaSirayeli ukutsho.

Ngabo abaya kusichitha xa nindulukayo, baze baphinde basakhe apho nimise khona. Ngoko ke umntu ongomnye osondela esibingelelweni makabulawe. ₅₂Amanye amaSirayeli la aya kuma ngokwezindlu zawo, amathile ephantsi kwembasa yawo. ₅₃Ke bona abaLevi ukuma kwabo baya kuphahla isibingelelo esiqulethe ubungqina bomnqophiso, basaluse, khon' ukuze kungabikho bani usondelayo kuso, avusele amaSirayeli umsindo wam.” ₅₄Ngenene ke amaSirayeli enza ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo kuMosis.
