The Building of the City

1 The City was built and grew; the houses increased to 500.

2 But they eventually exceeded that number, because the people had become very many.

3 No one knew their total number anymore, because the work continued to grow.

4 That is when it was revealed by the Spirit that this is the City of God .

5 The Spirit also said that it was necessary for all pregnant women to be dressed in Mateneti; all this was then organized by the Spirit as spoken by Matenga .

6 All the women were dressed in Mateneti every Sunday.

7 But a place was prepared where all visitors would arrive before they were laid hands on.

8 This place was called Matara or Duriro.

9 After this, a market was established for selling vegetables to the people who came to be healed there.

10 They were sold to by other people who came from the reserves.

11 Then a house was built for binding demons and evil spirits in people.

12 The evil spirits that were removed from people included: Ngozi , mashavi, mhondoro, madonha, witchcraft, mangoromera, and various other spirits, and various other charms.

13 Ritual charms and horns were burnt with fire by Beta, who had been chosen by Matenga .

14 Each person confessed how they had sinned against God in the world while they were still alive.
