Kana ari mwari, ngaazvirwire, sezvo mumwe munhu aputsa aritari yake.” ³²Zuva iro Gidheoni akatumidzwa kuti Jerubhbhaari—kureva kuti “Bhaari ngaarwe naye”—nokuti akaputsa aritari yaBhaari.

⁴⁰Usiku ihwohwo Baba vedu vakaita saizvozvo. Mvere chete ndidzo dzakanga dzakaoma; dova rakafukidza pasi pose.
