2 UJeshuwa+ indodana kaJehozadakhi labanye abaphristi kanye loZerubhabheli+ indodana kaSheyalithiyeli+ labafowabo, basukuma bakha i-alithare likaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuze banikele kulo imihlatshelo yokutshiswa njengoba nje kwakulotshiwe eMthethweni kaMosi,+ umuntu kaNkulunkulu weqiniso.

11 Kumele uthathe isiliva legolide wenze umqhele uwufake ekhanda likaJoshuwa+ indodana kaJehozadakhi umphristi omkhulu,
