Izinsuku esahamba ngazo sisuka eKadeshi Barineya saze sawela umfula iZeredi zaziyiminyaka engamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili , kwaze kwaphela isizukulwane samadoda empi phakathi kwekamu , njengalokho uJehova afunga kuwo.

Nasi isizathu uJoshuwa abasoka ngaso : bonke abantu abaphuma eGibithe ababengabesilisa, onke amadoda empi , bafa ehlane ngasendleleni , sebephumile eGibithe.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane , saze saphela isizwe sonke , yiwo amadoda empi aphuma eGibithe, lokhu engalalelanga izwi likaJehova , afunga kuwo uJehova ukuthi akayikuwabonisa izwe uJehova alifungela oyise ethi uyakusinika lona , izwe elivame ubisi nezinyosi.
