1. UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bheka, ngikwenze ube njengonkulunkulu kuFaro; u-Aroni umfowenu uyakuba ngumprofethi wakho.
2. Wena uyakukhuluma konke engikuyala ngakho; u-Aroni umfowenu uyakukhuluma kuFaro ukuba abavumele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuphuma ezweni lakhe.
3. Mina ngiyakuyenza inhliziyo kaFaro ibe lukhuni, ngandise izibonakaliso zami nezimangaliso zami ezweni laseGibithe.
4. Kepha uFaro akayikunilalela; ngiyakubeka isandla sami phezu kweGibithe, ngikhiphe amabandla ami, isizwe sami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ezweni laseGibithe ngezahlulelo ezinkulu.
5. AbaseGibithe bayokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, nxa ngelula isandla sami phezu kweGibithe, ngikhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli phakathi kwabo.”
6. OMose no-Aroni benze njalo; njengalokho uJehova ebayalile, benze njalo-ke.
7. UMose wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili, u-Aroni eneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nantathu, mhla bekhuluma kuFaro.
8. UJehova wakhuluma koMose no-Aroni, wathi:
9. “Nxa uFaro ekhuluma kini, ethi: ‘Zifakazeleni ngesimangaliso,’ uyakusho ku-Aroni ukuthi: ‘Thatha induku yakho, uyiphonse phansi phambi kukaFaro,’ ukuze iphenduke inyoka.”
