13 UMoses wabawisela umthetho oonyana bakaSirayeli, esithi, Lilo elo ilizwe enolabelwa ngeqashiso, awisé umthetho ngalo uYehova wokuba linikwe izizwe ezisithoba ezinesiqingatha sesizwe.
14 Ngokuba isizwe soonyana bakaRubhen ngokwezindlu zooyise, nesizwe soonyana bakaGadi ngokwezindlu zooyise, nesiqingatha sesizwe sikaManase, sisesilizuzile ilifa laso.
15 Izizwe ezibini nesiqingatha sesizwe zilizuzile ilifa lazo nganeno kweYordan, malunga neYeriko ngasempumalanga phambili.
16 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
17 Ngawo la amagama amadoda aya kunabela ilizwe ukuba libe lilifa: uElazare umbingeleli, noYoshuwa unyana kaNun.
18 Nothabatha isikhulu sibe sinye, isikhulu sibe sinye esizweni, nilabe ilizwe ukuba libe lilifa.
