4UBaba wethu wayesethi kuye: “Yileli izwe engalifungela u-Abrahama, u-Isaka, noJakobe, ngathi: ‘Ngiyakulinika inzalo yakho.’ Ngikuvumele ukuba ulibone ngamehlo akho, kodwa ngeke uwelele kulo.”
5Wafela khona lapho uMose, inceku kaBaba wethu, ezweni lakwaMowabi, njengoba uBaba wethu wayeshilo. 6UBaba wethu wammbela esigodini sakwaMowabi esibhekene neBeti-Pheyori, kodwa akekho owaziyo indawo yokungcwatshwa kwakhe kuze kube namuhla. 7UMose wayeneminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili ubudala ngesikhathi efa; amehlo akhe ayengakafiphali, namandla akhe ayengakapheli. 8Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamkhalela uMose emathafeni akwaMowabi izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu, kwaze kwaphela izinsuku zokukhala nezokulila. 9UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wayegcwele umoya wokuhlakanipha, ngokuba uMose wayebeke izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamlalela benza njengoba uBaba wethu wayeyale uMose. 10Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi akuvelanga mprofethi kwa-Israyeli onjengoMose, lowo uBaba wethu amazi ubuso nobuso, 11ngazo zonke izibonakaliso nezimangaliso uBaba wethu amthuma ukuba azenze eGibhithe—kuFaro, nakuzo zonke izinceku zakhe, nakulo lonke izwe lakhe, 12nangaso sonke isandla esinamandla, nangayo yonke imisebenzi emikhulu eyesabekayo uMose ayenza phambi kwamehlo abo bonke abakwa-Israyeli.
