18 Ngakho uJehova wasesithi kuMosi: “Thatha uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, indoda efaneleyo, ubeke izandla phezu kwakhe.+

7 Ngemva kwalokho uMosi wabiza uJoshuwa wakhuluma laye phambi kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli wathi: “Qina ube lesibindi+ ngoba nguwe ozangenisa abantu laba elizweni uJehova afunga ngalo kubokhokho babo ukuthi uzabanika lona futhi nguwe ozabanika lona libe lilifa labo.+

6 Ngakho qina+ ube lesibindi ngoba nguwe ozakhokhela abantu laba ukuze bathathe ilizwe engathembisa okhokho babo ukuthi ngizabanika lona.+

9 Angikutshelanga yini ukuthi uqine ube lesibindi? Ungesabi njalo ungatshaywa luvalo ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uzakuba lawe loba ngaphi lapho oya khona.”+
