22. UAron waphendula wathi: “Ungakhathazeki, mntakwethu; kaloku nawe uyabazi aba bantu ukuba baqinel' enyaleni ngesono.
23. Basuka bathi kum: ‘Senzele uThixo oza kusikhokela, kuba asiyazi into emhleleyo laa Mosis osikhuphe eJiputa.’
24. Ndithe ke kubo: ‘Ndinikeni izinto zegolide eninazo,’ baza ke benjenjalo. Ndasuka ke ndaziphosa emlilweni, kwee gqi le nkunzi.”

28. AbaLevi abo ke benza ngokwaloo myalelo, baza ke babulala amawaka amathathu amadoda ngaloo mini.
29. UMosis ke wathi kubaLevi: “Niyabona ke, namhlanje, ngokubulala abantakwenu noonyana benu, niye naba ngababingeleli bokubusa uNdikhoyo. Ngoko ke uNdikhoyo unithamsanqele.”

32. Ngoku ke ndiyakubongoza, baxolele; ukuba akunakuba njalo wosewulicima igama lam encwadini yakho oyibhalileyo.”
33. UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis: “Abantu abamagama ndiwacimayo encwadini yam, ngabo bandonileyo bodwa.
34. Ngoko ke hamba, ukhokele aba bantu, ubase kulaa ndawo ndandithethe ngayo kuwe. Ke sona isithunywa sam siya kukukhokela. Kambe ke lakufika ixesha ndiya kubohlwaya aba bantu ngenxa yesi sono.”
