18. Wathi uYoshuwa, Qengqelani amatye amakhulu emlonyeni womqolomba, nimise amadoda phezu kwawo ukuba abalinde.
19. Ke nina musani ukuma; zisukeleni iintshaba zenu, niwubethe umqosheliso wazo. Musani ukuwuvumela ungene emizini yawo, kuba uYehova uThixo wenu uwunikele esandleni senu.
20. Kwathi, akugqiba uYoshuwa noonyana bakaSirayeli ukuzibulala kakhulu kunene zada zagqitywa, zathi eziseleyo kuzo, zaya kungena emizini enqatyisiweyo.
21. Babuye ke bonke abantu, baya emkhosini kuYoshuwa eMakeda ngoxolo; akwabakho nja ibavungamelayo oonyana bakaSirayeli, kwanabani.
22. Wathi uYoshuwa, Vulani umlomo womqolomba, nibakhuphe emqolombeni abaa kumkani bobahlanu, beze kum.
23. Benjenjalo ke; babakhupha emqolombeni, beza kuye abo kumkani bobahlanu, ukumkani waseYerusalem, nokumkani waseHebron, nokumkani waseYarmuti, nokumkani waseLakishe, nokumkani wase-Eglon.
