וְעַתָּ֞ה לֵ֣ךְ ׀ נְחֵ֣ה אֶת־הָעָ֗ם אֶ֤ל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּ֙רְתִּי֙ לָ֔ךְ הִנֵּ֥ה מַלְאָכִ֖י יֵלֵ֣ךְ לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וּבְי֣וֹם פָּקְדִ֔י וּפָקַדְתִּ֥י עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם חַטָּאתָֽם׃
Sekarang pergilah, tuntunlah bangsa itu ke tempat yang telah Kufirmankan kepadamu. Sesungguhnya, malaikat-Ku akan berjalan di depanmu. Tetapi pada hari Aku mendatangkan hukuman, Aku akan membalaskan dosa mereka ini kepada mereka.”
