“Banduluka eSukoti, balalisa eEtam, enyeleni ye-ntlango. UYehova wahambha phambhi kwabo ngomqulu welifu emini, ebakhokela ngendlela; ngomqulu womlilo ebusuku, ebakhanyisela, ukuze bahambhe imini nobusuku.” “Awusukanga umqulu welifu emini, nomqulu womlilo ebusuku, phambhi kwabo.”IL 107.4

UYehova wayesazi ukuba amaFilisti aya kukuchasa ukuphumela kwawo ezweni lawo. Ayeza kuthi ngawo, Azimele kwiinkosi zawo eJiputa, aza kwenza imfazwe kunye nawo. Ngako oko ke uThixo, ngokuwajikelisa ngendlela yaselwandle, wazibonisa ukuba unguThixo onemfesane kwanjengokuba enguThixo onengqondo entle. UYehova wamxelela uMoses ukuba uFaro uya kubasukela, wamyalela kanye indawo amakamise kuyo phambhi kolwandle. Wamxelela uMoses ukuba uyakuzukiseka phambhi koFaro nayo yonke impi yakhe.IL 108.1

Kwa kuyilahleko enkulu kuwo ukulahlekwa yinkonzo yawo, azisola ukuba evumile ukuwayeka ahambhe. Kuko konke ukubandezeleka kwawo zizigwebo zikaThixo, enziwa lukhuni iintliziyo luvukelo lwawo oluthe roqo ngangokuba agqibe ukuba alusukele usapho lukaSirayeli alubuyisele ngamandla eJiputa.

“Wasondela uFaro. Bawaphakamisa amehlo abo oonyana bakaSirayeli, naango amaJiputa efake emva kwabo. Booyika kunene, bakhala oonyana bakaSirayeli kuYehova. Bathi kuMoses, Kungokuba bekungekho manchwaba na eJiputa, lento usithabathileyo ukuba sifele entlango apha? Yini na ukuba usenze into enje, usikhuphe eJiputa? Asililo na eli ilizwi ebesilithetha kuwe eJiputa, sisithi, Siyeke, siwakhonze amaJiputa? Kuba kube kusilungele kanye ukuba sikhonze amaJiputa, kunokuba sifele entlango apha. Wathi uMoses ebantwini, Musani ukoyika; misani, nilubone usindiso lukaYehova aya kunenzela Iona namhla; kuba amaJiputa lawo niwabonileyo namhlanje, anisayi kuphinda niwabone naphakade. UYehova uya kunilwela, ke nina niya kuthi cwaka.”IL 108.3
