4 Ngakho wathatha igolide ababelilethe kuye wenza ngalo isithombe sethole+ esebenzisa itshizela. Abantu basebeqalisa ukuthi: “Lo nguye uNkulunkulu wakho Israyeli owakukhipha elizweni laseGibhithe.”+

8 Baphambuke masinyane endleleni engabalaya ukuthi bahambe ngayo,+ bazenzela isithombe sethole njalo baqhubeka bekhothama kuso, benikela lemihlatshelo kuso besithi, ‘Lo nguye uNkulunkulu wakho Israyeli owakukhipha elizweni laseGibhithe.’”

15 UJerobhowami wabeka abakhe abaphristi ezindaweni eziphakemeyo*+ njalo yibo ababezakhokhela nxa kukhonzwa amadimoni anjengembuzi+ lezithombe zamathole ayezenzile.+ 16 Abantu bezizwana zonke zako-Israyeli ababezimisele ngenhliziyo yonke ukukhonza uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, balandela abaphristi lamaLevi eJerusalema besiyanikela imihlatshelo kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.+
