11 nxa bonke abako-Israyeli bezokuma phambi kukaJehova+ uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni azayikhetha, kumele libale uMthetho lo ukuze bonke abako-Israyeli bawuzwe.+

2 Ngakho u-Ezra umphristi wabuya lalo ibhuku loMthetho phambi kwabantu+ ukuze alibalele amadoda labesifazana labo bonke ababesenelisa ukulalela bazwisise. Konke lokhu kwenzakala mhlaka 1 ngenyanga yesikhombisa.+ 3 Wabalela+ abantu ibhuku loMthetho egcekeni elaliphambi kwegedi lamanzi kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwaba semini enkulu. Kwakulamadoda labesifazana labo bonke ababesenelisa ukulalela bazwisise okukhulunywayo. Bonke abantu balalelisisa+ ngesikhathi ibhuku loMthetho libalwa.

21 Kusukela endulo abantu bebetshumayela ngoMosi kuwo wonke amadolobho futhi ngamasabatha wonke abantu bayabalelwa emasinagogeni izinto ezabhalwa nguMosi.”+
