Kuno kulibe chakudya, kulibe madzi ndipo chakudya cha chabechabechi tatopa nacho.”

⁶ Choncho Yehova anatumiza njoka zaululu pakati pawo. Zinaluma anthu ndipo Aisraeli ambiri anafa. ⁷ Anthuwo anabwera kwa Mose ndi kunena kuti, “Tachimwa chifukwa tayankhula motsutsana ndi Yehova komanso inu. Pempherani kwa Yehova kuti atichotsere njokazi.” Tsono Mose anapempherera anthuwo.

⁸ Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Upange njoka yaululu ndipo uyipachike pa mtengo. Aliyense amene walumidwa akangoyangʼana njokayo adzakhala ndi moyo.” ⁹ Pamenepo Mose anapanga njoka yamkuwa ndi kuyipachika pa mtengo. Ndipo aliyense wolumidwa akayangʼana njoka yamkuwayo ankakhala ndi moyo.
