Inyama yakhe iyezwa ubuhlungu bayo kuphela ; umphefumulo wakhe uzidabukela wona kuphela.

Uma wona, wenzani kuye na ? Uma iziphambeko zakho ziziningi , wenzani kuyena na?

Aphuma wona nawo onke amabandla awo enawo , abantu abaningi , bengangesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle ngobuningi , namahhashi nezinqola eziningi kakhulu.

Lawa angamafa abawathathayo abantwana bakwa -Israyeli ezweni laseKhanani abababela wona u -Eleyazare umpristi , noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, nezinhloko zawoyise bezizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli,

Umuzi uyakwahlukaniselwa uJehova , wona nakho konke okukuwo ; uRahabi isifebe kuphela uyakusinda , yena nabo bonke abakuye endlini , ngokuba wazithukusa izithunywa esazithumayo.

Anidlanga ngani umnikelo wesono endaweni yendlu engcwele, njengokuba ungcwelengcwele, futhi niphiwe wona ukuba nisuse ububi benhlangano , niyenzele ukubuyisana phambi kukaJehova, na?

Kepha onke amantombazana angazanga ndoda ngokulala nayo , nizisindisele wona.

Amadlelo emizi eniyakunika wona amaLevi ayakusuka ogangeni lomuzi izingalo eziyinkulungwane nxazonke.

Ngokuba mina nginikiwe wona phakathi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli; esikhundleni sakho konke okuvula isizalo , amazibulo abo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngizithabathele wona.

Ngokuba onke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli angawami, awabantu nawezilwane ; mhla ngishaya amazibulo onke ezweni laseGibithe ngazingcwelisela wona.

Ngathi enhliziyweni yami : Kungenxa yamadodana abantu ukuze uNkulunkulu awavivinye, wona azibonele ukuthi anjengezilwane nje.
