9 “Ngakho nanzelelani njalo liqaphelisise, lingazikhohlwa zonke izinto elizibone ngamehlo enu ukuze zingasuki enhliziyweni zenu kuzo zonke insuku zokuphila kwenu. Kanti njalo kumele lizifundise abantwabenu labazukulu benu.+

21 Wasekhuluma labako-Israyeli wathi: “Nxa abantwabenu sebelibuza kusasa ukuthi amatshe la ngawani,+ 22 libatshele lithi: ‘Abako-Israyeli bachapha umfula uJodani emhlabathini owomileyo+ 23 uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aze omise umfula uJodani phambi kwabo. Amanzi omfula oma baze bachapha bonke njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akwenza sichapha+ uLwandle Olubomvu. 24 Lokhu wayekwenzela ukuthi abantu emhlabeni bakwazi ukuthi isandla sikaJehova silamandla+ lokuthi lani lihlale limesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.’”
