4 Abantwana bakwaJosefa, oManase no-Efrayimi, base belidla ifa labo.
5 Umkhawulo wabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi ngemindeni yabo wawunje: umkhawulo wefa labo ngasempumalanga wawuyi-Atharoti Adari kuze kube seBeti Horoni laseNhla;
6 umkhawulo waphuma ngasentshonalanga ngaseMikemetha ngasenyakatho; umkhawulo wawusujika ngasempumalanga, waya eTawanati Shilo, walidlula ngasempumalanga kwaseJanowa;
7 wehla eJanowa, waya e-Atharoti naseNahara, wafika eJeriko, waphumela eJordani.
8 Kusukela eTaphuwa umkhawulo waya ngasentshonalanga, wafika emfudlaneni iKhana; ukuphuma kwawo kwakuselwandle. Lelo liyifa lesizwe sabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi ngemindeni yabo
9 kanye nemizi eyahlukaniselwa abantwana bakwa-Efrayimi phakathi kwefa labantwana bakwaManase, yonke imizi nemizana yayo.
10 Kodwa abawaxoshanga amaKhanani ahlala eGezeri, kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kuka-Efrayimi kuze kube namuhla, aba yizinceku zokusebenza.
