17 UMose wabathuma ukuhlola izwe laseKhanani, wathi kubo: “Yenyukani ngalapha, niye ngaseningizimu, nikhuphukele ezintabeni,
18 nibone izwe ukuthi linjani, nabantu abakhe kulo ukuthi banamandla noma babuthakathaka, bayingcosana noma baningi yini,
19 nokuthi izwe abakhe kulo linjani, noma lihle noma libi, nokuthi imizi abahlala kuyo injani, noma ngamakamu* noma yizinqaba,
20 nokuthi izwe linjani, noma livundile noma limpofu, noma linezinkuni noma qha. Yibani nesibindi, nibuye nezithelo zezwe.” Kwase kuyisikhathi sezithelo zokuqala zomvini.
21 Base behamba-ke, bahlola izwe kusukela ehlane laseSini kuze kube seRehobe ekuyeni ngaseHamati.
22 Benyukela ngaseningizimu, bafika eHebroni; o-Ahimani, noSheshayi, noTalimayi, abantwana bakwa-Anaki, babelapho. IHebroni lakhiwa iminyaka eyisikhombisa lingakakhiwa iSowani laseGibithe.
23 Bafika esiGodini sase-Eshikoli,* banquma khona igatsha elinehlukuzo lezithelo zomvini, balithwala ngothi phakathi kwababili, kanye namapomegranati* namakhiwane.
