Imizi eyisithupha yokuphephela
1 UJehova wakhuluma kuJoshuwa, wathi: 2“Khuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngokuthi: ‘Zimiseleni imizi yokuphephela engakhuluma ngayo kini ngesandla sikaMose 3ukuba umbulali obulala umuntu ngesiphosiso kungengamabomu abalekele khona, yona ibe yisiphephelo kumphindiseli wegazi.
4“ ‘Obalekelayo komunye waleyo mizi uyakuma ngasesikhaleni sesango lomuzi, akhulume indaba yakhe ezindlebeni zamalunga alowo muzi, angene naye emzini, amuphe indawo ukuba ahlale phakathi kwabo. 5Uma umphindiseli wegazi emxosha, awayikumnikela umbulali esandleni sakhe, ngokuba wambulala umakhelwane wakhe kungengamabomu ebekade engamzondi. 6Uyakuhlala kulowo muzi aze eme phambi kwenhlangano ukuba kuthethwe icala, kuze kufe umpristi omkhulu okhona ngalezo zinsuku, andukuba umbulali abuye, afike kowakhe umuzi, nakweyakhe indlu, yebo, kulowo muzi abaleka kuwo.’ ”
7Bangcwelisa iKedeshi laseGalile ezintabeni zakwaNafetali, neShekemi ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, neKiriyati Araba eliyiHebroni ezintabeni zakwaJuda. 8 Phesheya kweJordani ngaseJeriko ngasempumalanga bamisa iBeseri ehlane ethafeni esizweni sakwaRubeni, neRamoti kwaGileyadi esizweni sakwaGadi, neGolanu eBashani esizweni sakwaManase. 9Leyo yayiyimizi emiselwe bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabafokazi ababegogobele phakathi kwabo, ukuze yilowo nalowo obulele umuntu ngesiphosiso abalekele khona, angafi ngesandla somphindiseli wegazi, aze eme phambi kwenhlangano.
