¹Laphuma iqashiso noonyana bakaYosefu, lathabathela eYordan malunga neYeriko ngasemanzini aseYeriko ngasempumalanga, kwintlango enyuka eYeriko, eya ezintabeni ngaseBheteli."

²Waphuma umda eBheteli, wasinga eLuzi, wegqitha waya emdeni wama-Arki eAtaroti; wehla waya entshonalanga emdeni wamaYafeleli,"

³wesa emdeni weBhete-horon yasezantsi, wesa eGezere; ukuma kwawo waya wema ngolwandle."

⁴Balabelwa ke ilifa labo oonyana bakaYosefu, uManase noEfrayim."

⁵Umda woonyana bakaEfrayim wenjenje: umda welifa labo ngasempumalanga wayiAtaroti-adare, wesa eBhete-horon engasentla;"

⁶waphuma umda waya elwandle, eMikemetati ngasentla; wajika umda waya empumalanga eTahanati-shilo, wegqitha khona ngasempumalanga eYanowa;"

⁷wehla eYanowa waya eAtaroti, naseNaharati, weza eYeriko, wema ngeYordan;"

⁸umda wesuka eTapuwa waya entshonalanga, eMlanjaneni weeNgcongolo; nokuma kwawo waya wema ngolwandle. Lilo elo ilifa lesizwe soonyana bakaEfrayim ngokwemizalwane yabo;"

⁹nemizi leyo yahlulelwa oonyana bakaEfrayim yayiphakathi kwelifa loonyana bakaManase; yonke imizi yayinemizana yayo."
