9 Kwathi izinto lezi sezenziwe zaphela, iziphathamandla zahle zangilanda zathi kimi: “Abantu bako-Israyeli labaphristi lamaLevi kabazehlukanisanga labantu bezinye izizwe njalo balokhu belandela imikhuba eyenyanyekayo+ yamaKhenani, lamaHithi, lamaPherizi, lamaJebusi, lama-Amoni, lamaMowabi, lamaGibhithe+ kanye lama-Amori.+ 2 Bathethe abafazi phakathi kwamadodakazi abantu laba, bathathela lamadodana abo+ abafazi kubo. Khathesi abantu abangcwele+ sebehlangene* labantu bezinye izizwe+ njalo abaphambili esonweni lesi yiziphathamandla labasekeli bababusi.”

28 Enye indodana kaJoyada+ indodana ka-Eliyashibhi+ umphristi omkhulu yayingumkhwenyana kaSanibhalathi+ umHoroni, yikho ngayixotsha.

22 Umphristi akufanelanga athathe umfelokazi loba owesifazana owadivosa lomkakhe.+ Kodwa kumele athathe intombi egcweleyo yako-Israyeli kumbe umfelokazi owayethethwe ngumphristi.’+

7 Umphristi kumele afundise abantu ngoNkulunkulu njalo kumele bawuzwe ngaye umthetho*+ ngoba yena uyisithunywa sikaJehova wamabutho.

8 “Kodwa lina seliphambukile endleleni lenza labanengi baphambuka* emthethweni.*+ Lisephulile isivumelwano sikaLevi,”+ kutsho uJehova wamabutho.
