Akwaba besifele nakule ntlango! Yini na ukuba uYehova asizise kweli lizwe ukuze siwe likrele, abafazi nabantwana bethu babe lixhoba? Akusilungele na kanye ukuba sibuyele eJiputa? Batshono ukuthi, Ma sizimisele umphathi, sibuyele eJiputa. Bawa ooMoses noAron ngobuso babo phambhi kwesikhungu sonke sebandla loonyana bakaSirayeli.”IL 141.1

AmaSirayeli awanelanga ukuvakalisa ukukhalazela kwawo uMoses kodwa akhalazela uYehova ngokwakhe ngokusebenza ngenkohliso nawo ngokubadinga ngelizwe awayenge nakulizuza.

Ukuba uYehova usinonelele, wosisa kwelo zwe, asinike; lilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi. Kodwa musani ukugwilika kuYehova, musani ukoboyika abantu belo zwe nina; kuba bakukudla kwethu. Umkile umthunzi wabo kubo, uYehova unathi; musani ukoyika.”IL 141.3

Endaweni yokuba lamazwi asebenze ooko kwakulindelekile ebantwini, alwandisa, uvukelo lwabo oluqinisekileyo. Baba nomsindo badanduluka ngesikhalo esikhulu nesomsindo ukuba uKalebi noYoshuwa ma baxulutywe ngamatye, enge kwakwenziwe ooko ukuba uThixo wayengalamlanga ngembhonakalaliso ebaluleke ngokukodwa yobuqaqauli bakhe oboyikekayo emnqubeni wokuhlangana phambhi kwabo bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli.IL 142.1
