6. Anoloba izwe kube yizabelo eziyisikhombisa, nikulethe lapha kimi, nginenzele inkatho lapha phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.
7. Ngokuba amaLevi awanasabelo phakathi kwenu, lokhu ubupristi bukaJehova buyifa lawo; oGadi noRubeni nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase sebamukela ifa labo ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga abanika lona uMose inceku kaJehova.”
8. Amadoda ayesesuka, ahamba; uJoshuwa wayala abahambayo ukuba balobe izwe, wathi: “Sukani nihambe ezweni, nililobe, nibuyele kimi, nginenzele inkatho phambi kukaJehova eShilo.”
9. Ayesehamba amadoda, adabula izwe, aliloba ngemizi, kwaba yizabelo eziyisikhombisa encwadini; afika kuJoshuwa ekamu* laseShilo.
10. UJoshuwa wawenzela inkatho eShilo phambi kukaJehova; uJoshuwa wababela khona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli izwe njengezabelo zalo.
11. Inkatho yadla isizwe sabantwana bakwaBenjamini ngemindeni yabo; umkhawulo wesabelo sabo waphuma phakathi kwabantwana bakwaJuda nabantwana bakwaJosefa.
