ukuba ubudlo va obenziwe kuwo amadodana angamashumi ayisikhombisa kaJerubali bufike , negazi labo libekwe phezu kuka -Abimeleki umfowabo owababulala, naphezu kwabaseShekemi abaqinisa izandla zakhe ukuba abulale abafowabo.

Wayesethi kuwo: Usho njalo uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Akube yilowo nalowo kini abhince inkemba yakhe ethangeni lakhe, adabule ekamu, aye emuva , aye phambili , kusukela kwelinye isango kuze kube kwelinye isango lekamu, yilowo nalowo abulale umfowabo , nalowo umngane wakhe , nalowo umakhelwane wakhe.

Kepha uyakwahlulela abampofu ngokulunga , anqume ngokufaneleyo abathobileyo bomhlaba , awushaye umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe , abulale ababi ngokuphefumula kwezindebe zakhe.

Ngalolo suku uJehova uyakuhambel a ngenkemba yakhe elukhuni enkulu nenamandla uLeviyathani, inyoka esheshayo , uLeviyathani, inyoka ethandelayo, abulale udrako oselwandle.

Makaqalekiswe owamukela umvuzo ukuba abulale ongenacala , achithe igazi lakhe. Bonke abantu bayakusho ukuthi: Amen.

Ngalokho uyakuthulula inetha lakhe , abulale njalo izizwe ngokunganqamukiyo, na?

Ngezinselo zamahhashi akhe uyakunyathela zonke izitaladi zakho , abulale abantu bakho ngenkemba, kuwe phansi izinsika zemandla akho.

Umbulali uvuka ekuseni, abulale ompofu noswelayo; ebusuku unjengesela.
