Uye ibwe guru ravakagadzika areka yaJehovha pamusoro paro, richiripo pamunda waJoshua muBhetishemeshi kusvikira nhasi.
19Zvino Jehovha akauraya vamwe vavarume veBhetishemeshi, nokuti vakanga vatarira mukati meareka yaJehovha; akauraya varume vane zviuru zvina makumi mashanu namakumi manomwe pakati pavanhu avo; vanhu vakachema, nokuti Jehovha wakanga auraya vanhu nokuuraya kukuru.
