Kutoka 17:5

Bwana akamjibu Mose, “Pita mbele ya watu. Wachukue pamoja nawe baadhi ya wazee wa Israeli, ichukue mkononi mwako ile fimbo uliyopiga nayo Mto Naili, nawe uende.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
