1. Wathi kuMose: “Khuphukela kuJehova, wena no-Aroni, noNadabi, no-Abihu, namalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa akwa-Israyeli, nikhuleke nikude.

2. UMose yedwa uyakusondela kuJehova, kepha bona abayikusondela; nabantu abayikukhuphuka naye.”

3. UMose weza wabatshela abantu onke amazwi kaJehova nezahlulelo zonke; abantu bonke baphendula ngazwi linye, bathi: “Onke amazwi uJehova awakhulumileyo siyakuwenza.”

4. UMose wabhala onke amazwi kaJehova, wavuka ekuseni ngakusasa, walakha i-altare phansi kwentaba, nezinsika eziyishumi nambili njengokwezizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli.

5. Wathuma izinsizwa zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, zanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa, zahlabela uJehova imihlatshelo yokuthula yezinkunzi.

6. UMose wathatha inxenye yegazi, wayithela ezitsheni; inxenye yegazi wafafaza ngayo i-altare.

7. Wathatha incwadi yesivumelwano, wayifunda ezindlebeni zabantu; bathi: “Konke akukhulumileyo uJehova siyakukwenza, silalele.”

8. UMose wayesethatha igazi, wafafaza ngalo abantu, ethi: “Bheka, nanti igazi lesivumelwano uJehova asenze nani ngawo onke lawa mazwi.”

9. Khona bakhuphuka oMose, no-Aroni, noNadabi, no-Abihu, namalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa akwa-Israyeli.

10. Bambona uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; phansi kwezinyawo zakhe kwakungathi kugandayiwe ngamatshe amasafire, kungathi yizulu uqobo ngokucweba.

11. Akasibekanga isandla sakhe kuzo izikhulu zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; sebembonile uNkulunkulu badla, baphuza.

12. UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Khuphukela kimi entabeni, uhlale khona, ngikunike izibhebhe zamatshe, nomthetho, nemiyalelo engiyibhalile ukuba ubafundise yona.”

13. Wasuka uMose nenceku yakhe uJoshuwa; uMose wakhuphukela entabeni kaNkulunkulu.

14. Wathi kumalunga: “Manisihlalele lapha, size sibuyele kini; bhekani, o-Aroni noHure bakini; yilowo nalowo onendaba makaye kubo.”

15. UMose wayesekhuphukela entabeni, ifu lasibekela intaba.

16. Inkazimulo kaJehova yahlala entabeni yaseSinayi, ifu layisibekela izinsuku eziyisithupha; ngosuku lwesikhombisa esefwini wambiza uMose.

17. Ukubonakala kwenkazimulo kaJehova kwakunjengomlilo oqedayo esiqongweni sentaba emehlweni abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

18. UMose wangena efwini, wakhuphukela entabeni; uMose wayesentabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane.
