2 Bonke abako-Israyeli baqalisa ukukhonona ngoMosi lo-Aroni+ njalo bonke bakhuluma kubi ngabo besithi: “Ngabe sahle sazifela elizweni laseGibhithe kumbe ngabe sihle safela khonapha enkangala! 3 Kungani uJehova esilethe endaweni le ukuthi sizobulawa ngenkemba?+ Abantwabethu lamakhosikazi ethu bazathunjwa.+ Kungcono sizibuyelele eGibhithe.”+ 4 Basebesithi komunye lomunye: “Asikhetheni umkhokheli sibuyele eGibhithe!”+

3 Ngakho abako-Israyeli baqalisa ukukhonza uBhali wasePheyori+ futhi uJehova wabathukuthelela kakhulu.

8 Kasingafebi* njengabanye babo abafebayo* kwacina kufe abangu-23 000 ngelanga elilodwa.+ 9 Kasingamlingi uJehova*+ njengabanye babo abamlingayo bacina belunywe zinyoka bafa.+ 10 Lingakhononi njengabanye babo abakhononayo+ bacina bebulewe ngumbhubhisi.+
