Wayesethi uJehova kuye : Hamba wehle, uze ubuye ukhuphuke , wena no- Aroni enawe ; kepha abapristi nabantu mabangafohli , bakhuphukele kuJehova, funa abadumele.

UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa : Ungesabi, ungabi naluvalo ; suka nabo bonke abantu bempi, ukhuphuke uye e-Ayi; bheka, nginikele esandleni sakho inkosi yase-Ayi, nabantu bayo, nomuzi wayo, nezwe layo;

Kepha ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku -Eliya waseThishibi : Suka ukhuphuke ukuhlangabeza izithu nywa zenkosi yaseSamariya , uthi kuzo : Kungokuba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa -Israyeli ukuba niye nibuze kuBali Zebubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni na?

ngalokho bheka , iNkosi iyabakhuphulela amanzi omfula anamandla namaningi -- yinkosi yase-Asiriya nabo bonke ubukhosi bayo -- ukhuphuke phezu kwazo zonke izingu zawo, weqe nazo zonke izindonga zawo,
