20 UMosi wawaphendula wathi: “Nakhu enizokwenza: Hlomani niyokulwa ipi njengombana uJehova atjhwile,+ 21 nange omunye nomunye wenu ahloma alungele ipi, niyame iJordani phambi kwakaJehova njengombana aqotha amanabakhe phambi kwakhe+ 22 bekube kulapho inarha ihlulwa phambi kwakaJehova.+ Ngemva kwalokho, ningabuya+ begodu angekhe nibe mlandu phambi kwakaJehova nama-Israyeli. Inarha le izokuba lilifa lenu phambi kwakaJehova.+

25 Amadodana kaGadi namadodana kaRubeni athi kuMosi: “Iinsebenzi zakho zizokwenza njengombana ikosethu itjhwile. 26 Abantwabethu, abafazi bethu, imihlambethu nayo yoke ifuywethu kuzokuhlala emadorobheni weGiliyadi+ 27 kodwana iinsebenzi zakho zizokuyama, woke amadoda ahlomele ipi azokulwela uJehova+ njengombana kutjho ikosethu.”

28 UMosi wakhupha umyalo, wawutjela u-Elazara umphristi, uJotjhuwa indodana kaNuni neenhloko zeenkoro zakwa-Israyeli. 29 UMosi wathi kibo: “Nange amadodana kaGadi namadodana kaRubeni ayama iJordani nani, woke amadoda ahlomele ipi phambi kwakaJehova begodu inarha ihlulwe, nizowanikela inarha yeGiliyadi bona ibe lilifa lawo.+
