UNumeri 21:10-20

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba, bamisa e-Oboti. Basuka e-Oboti, bamisa e-Iye Abarimi ehlane elingaphandle kwelakwaMowabi ngasempumalanga. Basuka lapho, bamisa esiGodini saseZeredi. Basuka lapho, bamisa ngaphesheya kwe-Arinoni elisehlane, elivela emkhawulweni wama-Amori, ngokuba i-Arinoni lingumkhawulo welakwaMowabi, phakathi kwelakwaMowabi nama-Amori. Ngalokho kuthiwa eNcwadini yeziMpi zikaJehova: “IVahebi laseSufa, nezigodi zase-Arinoni, nomthambeka wezigodi othambeka ngasezweni le-Ari, oncike emkhawulweni wakwaMowabi.” Basuka lapho, baya eBeri; lokhu kungumthombo asho ngawo uJehova kuMose, wathi: “Butha abantu, ngibaphe amanzi.” U-Israyeli wayesehlabelela lesi sihlabelelo sokuthi: “Mpompoza, mthombo, nihlabelele kuwo, umthombo ezawumba izikhulu, abawugubha abakhulu babantu ngentonga yobukhosi nangezindondolo zabo.” Basuka ehlane, baya eMathana. Basuka eMathana, baya eNahaliyeli; basuka eNahaliyeli, baya eBamoti; basuka eBamoti, baya esigodini esisezweni lakwaMowabi nasesiqongweni sasePisiga, elibheke ngenzansi ngasehlane.
