2 Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wathuma amadoda ukuthi asuke eJerikho aye edolobheni le-Ayi+ eliseduze leBhethi-aveni empumalanga yeBhetheli.+ Wathi kuwo: “Hambani liyehlola ilizwe.” Amadoda la asehamba ayahlola i-Ayi.

11 Sekwenziwe inkatho, abakoBhenjamini baphiwa indawo yabo ngezimuli zabo. Indawo abayiphiwayo yayiphakathi kwesizwana sakoJuda+ labantu bakoJosefa.+ 12 Ngasenyakatho umngcele wabo wawuqalisela kuJodani uqanse uyefika emaqaqeni asenyakatho kweJerikho,+ uqhubeke uqonda ezintabeni ezisentshonalanga uze uyefika enkangala eseBhethi-aveni.+

23 UJehova wabakhulula abako-Israyeli ngalelolanga+ futhi balwa baze bayafika eBhethi-aveni.+
