16 UJehova waphendula uMosi wathi: “Ngiqoqela amadoda angu-70 phakathi kwabadala bako-Israyeli, amadoda okwaziyo ukuthi angabadala futhi angabakhokheli babantu.+ Hamba lawo etendeni lokuhlangana ufike ume lawo khonapho. 17 Ngizakwehla+ ngizokhuluma lawe khonapho+ njalo ngizathatha omunye umoya wami+ ophezu kwakho ngiwufake kuwo, futhi amadoda la azakuncedisa ukuthwala umthwalo wabantu laba ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.+

13 Khethani phakathi kwezizwana zenu amadoda ahlakaniphileyo alokuqedisisa futhi alolwazi, ngizawabeka ukuthi abe ngabakhokheli benu.’+

3 Ngakho bafowethu, zikhetheleni phakathi kwenu amadoda ayisikhombisa adume ngokwenza okuhle*+ njalo agcwele umoya lokuhlakanipha+ ukuze siwabeke ukuthi akhangele indaba le eqakathekileyo.+
