3 Nje-ke ama-Israyeli ahlanganyela ekulotjheni uBhali wePewori,+ uJehova wasilingeka khulu ngebanga lama-Israyeli.

8 Singaziphathi kumbi ngokomseme* njengombana abanye babo benza njalo, kwafa abantu abazii-23 000 ngelanga linye.+ 9 Asingamlingi uJehova*+ njengombana abanye babo bamlinga, balunywa ziinyoka bafa.+ 10 Singabi babantu abanghonghoyilako njengombana abanye babo banghonghoyila,+ babulawa mtjhabalalisi.+
