Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bavuka , bakhuphukela eBethele , babuza kuNkulunkulu, bathi: Ngubani oyakusik huphukelela kuqala ukulwa nabantwana bakwaBenjamini na? UJehova wathi: NguJuda kuqala.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuphuka, bakhala phambi kukaNkulunkulu kwaze kwahlwa ; babuza kuJehova , bathi: Siyakuphinda sisondele ukulwa nabantwana bakwaBenjamini umfowethu na ? UJehova wathi : Yenyukelani kuye.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuza kuJehova ngokuba umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawulapho ngalezo zinsuku;

Babuye babuza uJehova ukuthi : Usezakufika lowo muntu na ? UJehova waphendula wathi: Bheka, ucashile empahleni.

Ofakazi abangalungile bayasukuma, babuza kimi engingakwaziyo.

Nokho bangifuna izinsuku zonke , bathanda ukwazi izindlela zami ; njengesizwe esenza ukulunga, singashiyi ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu waso, babuza kimi izahlulelo zokulunga, bathanda ukusondela kuNkulunkulu.

Abantu bami babuza emthini, induku yabo ibatshele , ngokuba umoya wobufebe ubadukisile, basuka phansi kukaNkulunkulu wabo ngokufeba.
