₉“ ‘Ngosuku lwesabatha izimvu zamaduna ezimbili ezinomnyaka munye ezingenasici, nokweshumi okubili kwempuphu ecolekileyo kube ngumnikelo wempuphu exovwe namafutha kanye nomnikelo wawo wokuphuzwa: ₁₀lokhu kungumnikelo oshiswa amasabatha onke ngaphandle komnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke nomnikelo wawo wokuphuzwa.

₁₁“ ‘Ekwethwaseni kwenyanga niyakunikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova: amaduna amabili, nenqama ibe nye, nezimvu zamaduna eziyisikhombisa ezinomnyaka munye ezingenasici, ₁₂kanye nokweshumi okuthathu kwempuphu ecolekileyo ibe ngumnikelo wempuphu exovwe namafutha ngaleyo naleyo nkunzi, kanye nokweshumi okubili kwempuphu ecolekileyo kube ngumnikelo wempuphu exovwe namafutha ngenqama inye, ₁₃nokweshumi kwempuphu ecolekileyo exovwe namafutha kube ngumnikelo wempuphu ngaleyo naleyo mvu, umnikelo wokushiswa wephunga elimnandi, umnikelo womlilo kuJehova. ₁₄Umnikelo wabo wokuphuzwa uyakuba yinxenye yehini* lewayini ngenkunzi, nokwesithathu kwehini* ngenqama, nokwesine kwehini ngemvu; lokhu kungumnikelo wokushiswa wezinyanga zonke kuzo zonke izinyanga zomnyaka. ₁₅Nempongo ibe nye, ibe ngumnikelo wesono kuJehova; kuyakunikelwa ngayo kanye nomnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke nomnikelo wawo wokuphuzwa.
