2. Baphindezele kumaMidiyan oonyana bakaSirayeli, ngento awayenza kubo; emveni koko wòhlanganiselwa ebantwini bakowenu.

4. iwaka esizweni, iwaka esizweni, ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli, nòwathuma aphume umkhosi.
5. Kwakhutshwa ke emawakeni akwaSirayeli iwaka esizweni, iwaka esizweni, alishumi elinamabini amawaka, exhobele ukuphuma umkhosi.
