24 Abantu bakhalaza* kuMoses,+ besithi: “Sisele ntoni ke ngoku?”

2 Xa lilonke ibandla lamaSirayeli, laqalisa ukumkhalazela uMoses noAron kuloo ntlango.+ 3 AmaSirayeli ayesithi kubo: “Ngekungcono ukuba besife ngesandla sikaYehova kwilizwe laseYiputa, sihleli ngasezimbizeni zenyama,+ sisitya isonka sihluthe. Khawujonge ngoku, nisizise kule ntlango ukuze nilibulale lonke eli bandla ngendlala.”+

7 Ngoko wayithiya loo ndawo ngokuba yiMasa*+ neMeribha,*+ ngenxa yokuba amaSirayeli axambulisana naye nangenxa yokuba amlinga uYehova,+ esithi: “Ukho na okanye akekho uYehova phakathi kwethu?”
