15. Ukuba ùndenjenjalo, sewundibulala kanye, ukuba undibabále; mandingabuboni ububi bam.
16. Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Hlanganisela kum amadoda abe ngamashumi osixhenxe kumadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, owaziyo ukuba ngamadoda amakhulu abantu, ababhali babo; uwazise ententeni yokuhlangana, eme khona nawe.
