U-Abimeleki wayesethi : Kuyini okwenzile kithina na ? Bekulula ukuba kufike omunye wabantu, alale nomkakho; ubususibangele icala.

Kwathi esakhuluma kuJosefa izinsuku ngezinsuku , akamlalelanga ukuba alale naye, nokuba abe naye.

wabiza abantu bendlu , wakhuluma kubo , wathi: Bonani usilethele umHeberu ukuba adlale ngathi ; uze kimina ukuba alale nami ; ngamemeza ngezwi elikhulu;

Nxa abantu belwa , omunye ashaye omunye ngetshe noma ngenqindi yakhe, angafi kepha alale embhedeni,

Uma umuntu eyenga intombi engesiyo ingoduso, alale nayo, uyakuyilobola ibe ngumkakhe.

Ungalali nesilwane ukuzingcolisa ngaso; nowesifazane makangemi phambi kwesilwane ukuba alale naso; kuyichilo.

Uma owesifazane esondela esilwaneni , alale n aso, wobulala owesifazane nesilwane; bobulawa nokubulawa, igazi labo libe phezu kwabo.

alale nenye indoda kusithekile emehlweni endoda yakhe , kufihlwe, angcoliswe, kungekho fakazi nokho ngaye, futhi engabanjwanga,

Uma ikhona intombazana eyintombi iyingoduso yendoda , umuntu ayifumane emzini, alale nayo,

kepha uyakukubuyisela nokukubuyisela kuye ukushona kwelanga ukuba alale ngengubo yakhe , akubusise; lokho kuyakuba kuwe ukulunga phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

kuze kuthi uma onecala efanele ukushaywa, umahluleli amenze alale phansi, ashaywe phambi kwakhe, ubuningi bemivimbo bube njengokwecala lakhe.

Uyakuganwa ngumfazi , omunye umuntu alale naye ; uyakwakha indlu , ungahlali kuyo; uyakutshala isivini, ungazikhi izithelo zaso.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakukuvusela okubi okuvela endlini yakho, ngithathe abafazi bakho phambi kwamehlo akho , ngibanike umakhelwane wakho, alale nabafazi bakho ekukhanyeni kwaleli langa.

Akakho oyakukhathala, akhubeke kuso; akakho oyakozela, alale; ibhande lezinkalo zabo aliyikuthukuluka, nomchilo wezicathulo zabo awuyikugqabuka,

Ubuthongo besisebenzi bumnandi , noma sidla okuyingcosana noma okuningi, kepha ukusutha kocebileyo akumvumeli ukuba alale.

alale, avuke ubusuku nemini, imibewu imile, ikhule, engazi ukuthi kanjani.
