| 23. | Lelizwe kaliyikuthengiswa lanininini, ngoba ilizwe ngelami; ngoba lingabemzini labahlala njengabezizwe lami. |
| 24. | Lelizweni lonke lelifa lenu lizavumela uhlengo lwelizwe. |
| 25. | Uba umfowenu esiba ngumyanga, athengise okwelifa lakhe, umhlengi wakhe uzafika, isihlobo sakhe, ahlenge lokho umfowabo akuthengisileyo. |
| 26. | Njalo umuntu, uba engelaye umhlengi, kodwa isandla sakhe sifinyelele, athole okwenele uhlengo lwakhe, |
| 27. | kabale iminyaka yokuthengiswa kwalo, abuyisele okuseleyo kulowomuntu owamthengisela lona, abuyele elifeni lakhe. |
| 28. | Kodwa uba isandla sakhe singatholanga okwenele ukubuyisela kuye, okuthengisiweyo kuzakuba sesandleni sokuthengileyo kuze kufike umnyaka wejubili; kodwa ngejubili kuzaphuma, njalo uzabuyela elifeni lakhe. |
| 29. | Umuntu, uba ethengisa-ke indlu yokuhlala emzini olomthangala, ilungelo lohlengo lwayo lizakuba kuze kuphele umnyaka wokuthengiswa kwayo; ilungelo lohlengo lwayo lizakuba ngumnyaka wonke. |

| 50. | Uzabalisana lowamthengayo, kusukela emnyakeni owazithengisa kuye ngawo kuze kufike umnyaka wejubili; ukuze imali yentengiso yakhe izakuba njengenani leminyaka, njengensuku zoqatshiweyo kuzakuba njalo ngaye. |
| 51. | Uba kuseleminyaka eminengi, ngokungayo uzabuyisela uhlengo lwakhe, emalini yokuthengwa kwakhe. |
| 52. | Uba-ke kusele iminyaka emilutshwana kuze kufike umnyaka wejubili, uzabalisana laye; njengokweminyaka yakhe uzabuyisela uhlengo lwakhe. |
| 53. | Uzakuba laye njengoqatshiweyo iminyaka ngeminyaka; kayikumbusa nzima phambi kwamehlo akho. |
| 54. | Kodwa uba engahlengwanga ngalokhu, uzaphuma ngomnyaka wejubili, yena labantwana bakhe kanye laye. |
| 55. | Ngoba kimi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazinceku, bazinceku zami engazikhupha elizweni leGibhithe. Ngiyi Nkosi uNkulunkulu wenu. |
