3 UMosi waseqansa waya kuNkulunkulu weqiniso, uJehova wambiza esentabeni+ wathi: “Nanku okumele ukutsho kwabendlu kaJakhobe, okumele ukutshele abako-Israyeli,

5 Nxa lingalalela ilizwi lami kukho konke, ligcine lesivumelwano sami, lizakuba yimpahla yami eqakathekileyo* phakathi kwabo bonke abantu,+ ngoba umhlaba wonke ngowami.+

7 Ngemva kwalokho wathatha ibhuku lesivumelwano wabalela phezulu abantu besizwa.+ Basebesithi: “Sizimisele ukulalela lokwenza konke uJehova akukhulumileyo.”+

32 Isivumelwano lesi asisoze sifanane laleso engasenza labokhokho babo ngelanga engababamba ngesandla ngibakhipha elizweni laseGibhithe.+ ‘Isivumelwano engasenza labo basephula+ lanxa kwakuyimi ngedwa inkosi yabo,’* kutsho uJehova.”

18 Lokhu yikho okuzakwenzakala ebantwini abangazange bagcine isivumelwano sami, abangawalandelanga amazwi esivumelwano abasenza phambi kwami ngesikhathi bequma ithole lisiba yiziqa ezimbili futhi bedabula phakathi kweziqa lezo.+ 19 Abakhokheli bakoJuda labeJerusalema, leziphathamandla zesigodlweni, labaphristi, labo bonke abantu abaselizweni abadabula phakathi kweziqa ezimbili zethole, 20 ngizabanikela ezitheni zabo lakulabo abafuna ukubabulala. Izidumbu zabo zizakuba yikudla kwenyoni zezulu lokwezinyamazana.+
