Dlulisela

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa: “Bheka, nginikela esandleni sakho iJeriko nenkosi yalo namaqhawe anamandla

Lapho bebetha uphondo lwenqama isikhathi eside, lapho nizwa ukukhala kwecilongo, bonke abantu bayakukhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu; ugange lomuzi luyakuwa, abantu bakhuphuke, kube yilowo nalowo phambi kwakhe.

Kumelwe nizungeze umuzi, wonke amadoda enu empi, nizungeze umuzi kanye. Ngakho kufanele wenze izinsuku eziyisithupha.

Abapristi abayisikhombisa bayakuthwala izimpondo zezinqama eziyisikhombisa phambi komphongolo; ngosuku lwesikhombisa niyakuwuzungeza umuzi kasikhombisa, abapristi bashaye amacilongo.

IJeriko lalivaliwe ngenxa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; akuphumi muntu kungangeni muntu.

Kwathi ngokwesikhombisa abapristi sebevuthela amacilongo, uJoshuwa wathi kubantu: “Khamulukani! ngoba uJehova uninikile umuzi.

Umuzi uyakuqalekiswa, wona nakho konke okukuwo, kuJehova; uRahabi isifebe kuphela oyakuphila, yena nabo bonke abanaye endlini, ngokuba wafihla izithunywa esazithumayo.
