22 Naizvozvo vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakati: “Haiwa Mwari, Mwari wesimba roupenyu rezvipenyu zvenyama yemarudzi ose,+ kana munhu mumwe chete akatadza, mungatsamwira ungano yose here?”+
23 Jehovha akataurawo naMosesi, achiti:
24 “Taura neungano, uchiti, ‘Ibvai patebhenekeri dzaKora, Dhatani naAbhiramu!’”+
25 Pashure paizvozvo Mosesi akasimuka, akaenda kwaiva naDhatani naAbhiramu, uye varume vakuru+ vaIsraeri vakaenda naye.
26 Akabva ataura neungano yacho, achiti: “Ndapota, ibvai pamberi pematende evanhu ava vakaipa, musabata chero chinhu chavo chipi zvacho,+ kuti murege kuparadzwa muchivi chavo chose.”

28 Mosesi akabva ati: “Muchaziva neizvi kuti Jehovha akandituma kuti ndiite mabasa aya ose,+ kuti hazvisi zvomumwoyo mangu:+
29 Kana vanhu ava vachizofa semafiro anongoita vanhu vose uye kana vachizorangwa semarangirwo anongoitwa vanhu vose,+ haasi Jehovha akandituma.+
30 Asi kana chiri chinhu chitsva chichaitwa naJehovha,+ uye kana nyika ikashama muromo wayo, ikavamedza+ ivo nezvinhu zvavo zvose, vakaenda kuSheori+ vari vapenyu, muchabva maziva kuti varume ava havana kuremekedza Jehovha.”+

34 VaIsraeri vose vakanga vakavapoteredza vakatiza, vanhu vacho pavairidza mhere, nokuti vakati: “Tinotya kuti nyika ingatimedza!”+
35 Moto wakabva kuna Jehovha+ ukaparadza varume mazana maviri nemakumi mashanu vaipisira rusenzi.+
36 Zvino Jehovha akataura naMosesi, achiti:
37 “Udza Eriyezari mwanakomana womupristi Aroni kuti atore midziyo yokuisira moto+ iri pakati pomoto mukuru, ‘Iwe uparadzire moto wacho ipapo; nokuti midziyo yacho mitsvene,
38 iyo midziyo yokuisira moto yevarume ava vakatadzira mweya yavo.+ Vanofanira kuipfura kuti ive marata matete, ave chokufukidza nacho atari,+ nokuti vakauya nayo pamberi paJehovha, zvokuti yakava mitsvene; uye ngaive chiratidzo kuvanakomana vaIsraeri.’”+
