12 Ngemva kwalokho uJehova wathi kuMose: “Khuphukela kule ntaba yase-Abharimi, + ubuke izwe engizolinika ama-Israyeli. + 13 Lapho usulibonile, uyofa, + njengoba nje no-Aroni umfowenu afa, + 14 ngenxa yokuthi lapho inhlangano ixabana nami ehlane laseZini, nadlubulunda emyalweni wami wokungingcwelisa ngamanzi phambi kwayo. + Lawa amanzi aseMeriba + eKadeshi + ehlane laseZini.” +

37 (Nami uJehova waze wangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, wathi, “Nawe ngeke ungene khona. +

26 Kodwa uJehova wayesangithukuthelele ngenxa yenu, + akazange angilalele. Kunalokho, uJehova wathi kimi, ‘Kwanele manje! Ungaphinde ukhulume nami ngale ndaba.

51 ngoba nobabili anithembekanga kimi phakathi kwama-Israyeli emanzini aseMeriba + laseKadeshi ehlane laseZini, ngenxa yokuthi aningingcwelisanga phambi kwama-Israyeli. + 52 Uzolibona leli zwe ukude, kodwa ngeke ungene ezweni engilinika isizwe sakwa-Israyeli.” +

4 UJehova wabe esethi kuye: “Nanti izwe engifunge ngalo ku-Abrahama, u-Isaka noJakobe, ngithi, ‘Ngiyolinika inzalo* yakho.’ + Ngikuvumele ukuba ulibone ngamehlo akho, kodwa ngeke uwelele kulo.” +

2 “UMose inceku yami ufile. + Manje sukuma, uwele iJordani, wena naso sonke lesi sizwe, uye ezweni engisinika lona, engilinika ama-Israyeli. +
