| 1. | Ngenyanga yesithathu emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe, ngalelolanga bafika enkangala yeSinayi. |
| 2. | Sebesukile eRefidimi, bafika enkangala yeSinayi, bamisa inkamba enkangala; uIsrayeli wamisa-ke inkamba khona phambi kwentaba. |
| 3. | UMozisi wasesenyukela kuNkulunkulu. I Nkosi yasimemeza kuye esentabeni isithi: Uzakutsho njalo kuyo indlu kaJakobe, ubatshele abantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: |
| 4. | Lina libonile lokho engikwenze kumaGibhithe, lokuthi ngalithwala phezu kwempiko zenkozi, ngaliletha kimi. |

| 6. | njalo lizakuba ngumbuso wabapristi lesizwe esingcwele kimi. Yiwo lamazwi ozawatsho kubantwana bakoIsrayeli. |
| 7. | UMozisi wasesiza wabiza abadala babantu, wabeka phambi kwabo wonke lamazwi i Nkosi emlaye wona. |
| 8. | Bonke abantu basebephendula kanyekanye bathi: Konke i Nkosi ekukhulumileyo sizakwenza. UMozisi wasebuyisela amazwi abantu e Nkosi ni. |

| 10. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Hamba uye ebantwini, ubangcwelise lamuhla lakusasa, bawatshe izembatho zabo, |
| 11. | babe sebelungele usuku lwesithathu; ngoba ngosuku lwesithathu i Nkosi izakwehla phambi kwamehlo abantu bonke phezu kwentaba yeSinayi. |
| 12. | Uzabamisela abantu umngcele inhlangothi zonke uthi: Ziqapheleni ukukhwela entabeni, lokuthinta ewatheni layo. Wonke othinta intaba uzabulawa lokubulawa; |
| 13. | Kakulasandla esizayithinta, kodwa sibili uzakhandwa ngamatshe loba sibili uzatshokwa; loba inyamazana loba umuntu, kakuyikuphila. Lapho uphondo lwenqama lukhala isikhathi eside bazakwenyukela entabeni. |
| 14. | UMozisi wasesehla entabeni waya ebantwini, wangcwelisa abantu, njalo bawatsha izembatho zabo. |
| 15. | Wathi ebantwini: Lungelani usuku lwesithathu; lingasondeli kowesifazana. |
| 16. | Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu sekusile, kwakulemidumo lemibane leyezi elinzima phezu kwentaba, lelizwi lophondo olulamandla amakhulu; kwaze kwathi bonke abantu ababesenkambeni bathuthumela. |
| 17. | UMozisi wasebakhupha abantu enkambeni ukuyamhlangabeza uNkulunkulu; basebesima ngaphansi kwentaba. |
| 18. | Intaba yonke-ke yeSinayi yathunqa intuthu, ngoba i Nkosi yehlela phezu kwayo ngomlilo; njalo intuthu yayo yenyuka njengentuthu yesithando somlilo; intaba yonke yasizamazama kakhulu. |
| 19. | Kwathi ilizwi lophondo liqhubeka lisiba lamandla amakhulu, uMozisi wakhuluma; njalo uNkulunkulu wamphendula ngelizwi. |
| 20. | I Nkosi yasisehlela entabeni yeSinayi, engqongeni yentaba; i Nkosi yambizela uMozisi engqongeni yentaba; uMozisi wenyuka-ke. |
| 21. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yehla, ubaxwayise abantu hlezi bafohlele e Nkosi ni ukubona, njalo abanengi babo bawe. |
| 22. | Labapristi labo abasondela e Nkosi ni kabazingcwelise hlezi i Nkosi ibadumele. |
| 23. | UMozisi wasesithi e Nkosi ni: Abantu bangenyukele entabeni yeSinayi, ngoba wena usixwayisile usithi: Misa umngcele wentaba, uyingcwelise. |
| 24. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuye: Hamba wehle, ubuye wenyuke, wena loAroni elawe; kodwa abapristi labantu kabangafohli benyukele e Nkosi ni, hlezi ibadumele. |
| 25. | UMozisi wasesehlela ebantwini, wabatshela. |
