8 Kamva wasuka apho waya kummandla weentaba ongakwimpuma yeBheteli+ waza wamisa intente yakhe, iBheteli ingasentshona, iAyi+ yona ingasempuma. Waza ke wamakhela khona isibingelelo uYehova,+ wabiza egameni likaYehova.+

2 Waza uYoshuwa wathumela amadoda asuka eYeriko ukuba aye eAyi,+ ekufuphi neBhete-aven,+ ngakwimpuma yeBheteli,+ yaye wathi kuwo: “Nyukani niye kuhlola ilizwe.” Ngako oko amadoda enyuka aya kuhlola iAyi.+

17 Kwaye akukho mntu wasalayo eAyi naseBheteli ongazange alandele uSirayeli, kangangokuba basishiya isixeko sivulekile baza basukela uSirayeli.
