13 Ngathi babengamashumi amané amawaka axhobele ukuphuma umkhosi, abaweláyo phambi koYehova, besiya emfazweni, ezinkqantosini zaseYeriko.
14 Ngaloo mhla uYehova wamenza mkhulu uYoshuwa emehlweni amaSirayeli onke; amoyika njengoko abemoyika uMoses yonke imihla yobomi bakhe.
15 Wathi uYehova kuYoshuwa,
16 Bawisele umthetho ababingeleli abathwele ityeya yesingqino, ukuba benyuke baphume eYordan.
17 UYoshuwa wabawisela ke umthetho ababingeleli, esithi, Nyukani niphume eYordan.
18 Kwathi, ekunyukeni kwababingeleli abathwele ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova phakathi kweYordan, ekuncothukeni kweentende zeenyawo zababingeleli zafika kowomileyo, abuyela endaweni yawo amanzi aseYordan, ahamba njengokwangaphambili, ngaphandle kweendonga zayo zonke.
19 Abantu benyuka baphuma eYordan ngolweshumi enyangeni yokuqala, bamisa eGiligali, ngecala lasempumalanga eYeriko.
