Owesizwe sakwaJuda: uKalebi indodana kaJefune.

UKalebi wathulisa abantu phambi kukaMose , wathi: Masenyuke khona manje, silidle, ngokuba sinamandla okulinqoba.

kepha inceku yami uKalebi , lokhu wayenomunye umoya , wangilandela ngokupheleleyo, yena n giyakumngenisa ezweni aya kulo ; inzalo yakhe iyakulidla.

AbakwaJuda basondela kuJoshuwa eGiligali ; uKalebi indodana kaJefune , umKhenizi, wathi kuye : Uyalazi wena izwi uJehova alikhuluma kuMose umuntu kaNkulunkulu ngami nangawe eKadeshi Barineya.

UJoshuwa wambusisa, wamnika uKalebi indodana kaJefune iHebroni libe yifa lakhe.

Wamnika uKalebi indodana kaJefune isabelo phakathi kwabantwana bakwaJuda njengesiyalezo sikaJehova kuJoshuwa , umuzi ka-Araba uyise ka- Anaki, oyiHebroni.

UKalebi waxosha khona amadodana amathathu ka -Anaki, oSheshayi, no- Ahimani, noTalimayi, abantwana bakwa-Anaki.

UKalebi wathi : Onqoba iKiriyati Seferi , alithathe, yena ngiyakumnika u - Akisa indodakazi yami abe ngumkakhe.

Kwathi ekufikeni kwakhe wamnxusa ukuba acele insimu kuyise ; wehla embongolweni yakhe; uKalebi wathi kuye: Ukhala ngani?

Kepha amasimu omuzi nemizana yawo bamnika khona uKalebi indodana kaJefune kube yifa lakhe.

UKalebi wathi : Onqoba iKiriyati Seferi , alithathe, yena ngiyakumnika u - Akisa indodakazi yami abe ngumkakhe.

Kwathi ekufikeni kwakhe wamnxusa ukuba acele insimu kuyise ; wehla embongolweni yakhe; uKalebi wathi kuye: Ukhala ngani?

Wathi kuye : Ngiphe isipho ; lokhu unginike izwe laseningizimu ngiphe nemithombo yamanzi. UKalebi wamupha imithombo yasenhla nemithombo yasenzansi.

Bamnika uKalebi iHebroni , njengalokho ebekhulumile uMose ; waxosha khona amadodana amathathu ka-Anaki.

UKalebi indodana kaHesironi wazala ku -Azuba umkakhe nakuJeriyoti ; amadodana akhe: ngoJesheri, noShobabi, no-Aridoni.

Wafa u-Azuba; uKalebi wathatha u-Efrati, owamzalela uHure.

Kodwa amasimu omuzi nemizana yawo bakunika uKalebi , indodana kaJefune.
