Bheka, ifu lalisibekela, inkazimulo kaSimakade yabonakala kulo. UMose no-Aroni beza ngaphambi kwethende lokuhlangana. USimakade wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: “Khuphuka, uqhele phakathi kwale nhlangano ukuze ngiyibhubhise ngokuphazima kweso.” Bawa ngobuso babo. UMose wathi ku-Aroni: “Thatha isitsha sempepho, ufake kuso amalahle avuthayo ase-althare, nempepho, uphuthume uye ebandleni uyolenzela ukubuyisana, ngokuba intukuthelo kaSimakade isiphumile, seluqalile ubhubhane.” U-Aroni wasithatha njengalokhu ekhulumile uMose, wagijima waya phakathi kwebandla.
