9 UMosi wasesithi kuJoshuwa:+ “Sikhethele amadoda beseliphuma liyekulwa lama-Amaleki. Kusasa ngizakuma phezu koqaqa ngiphethe intonga kaNkulunkulu weqiniso ngesandla sami.”

13 Ngakho uMosi wasuka lenceku yakhe uJoshuwa,+ wakhwela entabeni kaNkulunkulu weqiniso.+

11 UJehova wayekhuluma loMosi ubuso ngobuso+ njengoba nje umuntu engakhuluma lomunye umuntu bekhangelene. UMosi wayesithi nxa esephendukile ezihonqweni, inceku yakhe uJoshuwa+ indodana kaNuni, eyayingumsizi+ wakhe yayiqhubeka isetendeni.

18 Ngakho uJehova wasesithi kuMosi: “Thatha uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, indoda efaneleyo, ubeke izandla phezu kwakhe.+ 19 Ngemva kwalokho ummise phambi kuka-Eliyazari umphristi laphambi kwabo bonke abantu, umbeke ukuthi abe ngumkhokheli phambi kwabo.+ 20 Kumele umnike amanye amandla olawo*+ ukuze bonke abantu bako-Israyeli bamlalele.+

3 UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nguye ozachapha phambi kwenu njalo yena ngokwakhe uzatshabalalisa izizwe lezi phambi kwenu futhi lizazidudula.+ UJoshuwa nguye ozalikhokhela ukuze lichaphe+ njengoba nje uJehova etshilo.
