Kepha uJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro , kabavumelanga abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe. Inhlupheko yesishiyagalolunye: ubumnyama

Eyesishiyagalolunye ngenyanga yesishiyagalolunye kwakungu -Abiyezeri umAnathoti wabakwaBenjamini ; esigabeni sakhe kwakukhona izinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nane.

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBenjamini babuthana eJerusalema ngezinsuku ezintathu ; kwakuyinyanga yesishiyagalolunye , ngolwamashumi amabili lwenyanga ; bonke abantu bahlala esigcawini ngaphambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu bethuthumela ngale ndaba nangemvula enkulu.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda, ngenyanga yesishiyagalolunye bonke abantu baseJerusalema nabo bonke abantu ababevela emizini yakwaJuda beza eJerusalema , bamemezela ukuzila ukudla phambi kukaJehova.

Inkosi yayihlezi endlini yobusika ngenyanga yesishiyagalolunye , iziko elivuthayo liphambi kwayo.

Ngolwamashumi amabili nane lwenyanga yesishiyagalolunye ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu izwi likaJehova lafika kuHagayi umprofethi, lathi:

Ake nikubeke ezinhliziyweni zenu , kusukela kulolu suku nangaphambili , kwasosukwini lwamashumi amabili nane lwenyanga yesishiyagalolunye, kwasosukwini okwabekwa ngalo isisekelo sethempeli likaJehova , yebo, nikubeke ezinhliziyweni zenu.
