9 bese uphumela eZifroni, wedlulele eHazari Enani; uyoma kanjalo-ke umngcele wenu enyakatho.
10 “ ‘Umngcele wenu empumalanga uyoma kanje: niyoziklamela umngcele empumalanga usuke eHazari Enani uze ufike eShefamu;
11 wehle eShefamu, uye eRibhila empumalanga e-Ayini, wehle njalo uze ufinyelele emmangweni ongasolwandle iKhinerethi, empumalanga.
12 Umngcele wehlele eJordani, uphume ngasoLwandle Lukasawoti. Yilelo-ke izwe lenu ngokwemingcele yalo, nxazonke.’ ”
13 UMose wabayala abakwa-Israyeli, wathi: “Leli yizwe eniyolaba ngonkatho, uSimakade ayale ngalo ukuba linikwe izizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye nengxenye,

15 Lezi zizwe ezimbili nengxenye zalithola ifa lazo phesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga yeJerikho, lapho kuphuma khona ilanga.”
16 USimakade wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
17 “Nanka amagama amadoda ayoklama izwe eliyifa lenu: u-Eleyazare, umphristi noJoshuwa, indodana kaNuni.
18 Niyothatha umholi ngamunye kuleso naleso sizwana ukuba abe izwe libe yifa lenu.
19 Nanka amagama amadoda aqokwa: esizwaneni sakwaJuda: nguKhalebhu indodana kaJefune.
