- Kaloku ndim okuyalelayo. Yomelela ke, ukhaliphe. Uze ungoyiki unkwantye; kaloku mna Ndikhoyo Thixo wakho ndiya kusoloko ndisecaleni kwakho naphi na apho unyathela khona.
- Kufuneka incwadi yomthetho ikukhokele kuyo yonke into oyithethayo. Uze uyifunde uyigocagoce ubusuku nemini, uzazi uzithobele izinto ezibhaliweyo kuyo. Xa wenjenjalo woba nenkqubela nempumelelo.
- Kambe maze ninyaniseke ngokupheleleyo ekuwuthobeleni umyalelo nomthetho eniwuwiselwe nguMosis isicaka sikaNdikhoyo, othi: ‘Mthande uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho; mthobele ezintweni zonke, uyigcine imiyalelo yakhe, unamathele kuye, umkhonze ngomxhelo wonke nangomoya wakho wonke.’
- Ke ukuba kubi emehlweni enu ukumkhonza uNdikhoyo, khethani ngoku, ukuba nokhonza bani na nina, phakathi koothixo baseMesopotami booyihlo noothixo bama-Amori enimi kumhlaba wawo. Kodwa mna kunye nomzi wam, siya kukhonza uNdikhoyo.
- Ngoku ke sendiza kufa. Nazi mhlophe ezintliziyweni zenu nasemiphefumlweni yenu ukuba akukho nanye into ayithembisileyo angayenzanga uNdikhoyo; ewe, akukho nanye into ayithethileyo angayiphumelelisanga.
- “Yahlukanani ke nazo ezo zithixo zasemzini ninazo,” watsho uYoshuwa, “nize ke nizinikele ngomxhelo wonke kuNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli.”
