14. Abantwana bakwaJosefa bakhuluma kuJoshuwa, bathi: “Unginikeleni isabelo sibe sinye nje nesinqamu sibe sinye kuphela, kube yifa lami, lokhu ngiyisizwe esikhulu, njengokuba uJehova ungibusisile kuze kube manje, na?”
15. UJoshuwa wathi kubo: “Uma uyisizwe esikhulu, khuphukela ehlathini, uzicabele khona ezweni lamaPherizi nakwelamaRefa, lokhu izintaba zakwa-Efrayimi ziminyene kuwe.”
