Nhaka yavo vakaigamuchira nokukanda mijenya, sezvakarayirwa naBaba vedu kubudikidza naMozisi, kumarudzi mapfumbamwe nehafu yorudzi. Nokuti Mozisi akanga apa marudzi maviri nehafu yorudzi nhaka yavo mhiri kweJorodhani, asi haana kupa vaRevhi nhaka pakati pavo. Nokuti vanakomana vaJosefa vakanga vari marudzi maviri, Manase naEfuremu. VaRevhi havana kuwana mugove wenyika, asi maguta chete okugara, nemafuro ezvipfuwo zvavo nepfuma yavo. Saka vanhu vaIsraeri vakaita sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naBaba vedu, vakagova nyika.

Karebhu Anogamuchira Vimbiso yaBaba

Vanhu veJudha vakauya kuna Joshua paGirigari, Karebhu mwanakomana waJefune muKenizi akati kwaari, “Munoziva zvakataurwa naBaba vedu kuna Mozisi, munhu waBaba vedu, pamusoro pangu nepenyu paKadheshi-bhaneya. Ndakanga ndina makore makumi mana pandakatumwa naMozisi, muranda waBaba vedu, kubva paKadheshi-bhaneya kundosora nyika, ndikadzoka ndikamuvigira shoko sezvazvaiva mumwoyo mangu. Asi vasori vandakaenda navo vakanyungudutsa mwoyo yavanhu nokutya, asi ini ndakatevera Baba vangu zvizere. Zuva iroro Mozisi akandipikira achiti, ‘Zvirokwazvo nyika yakatsikwa norutsoka rwako ichava nhaka yako neyavana vako nokusingaperi, nokuti wakatevera Baba vangu zvizere.’

Zvino Baba vedu vakandichengeta ndiri mupenyu kwamakore makumi mana namashanu, sezvavakavimbisa, kubvira pavakataura shoko iri kuna Mozisi, panguva yakadzungaira vaIsraeri murenje. Tarirai, nhasi ndava namakore makumi masere namashanu. Nhasi ndichakasimba sezuva randakatumwa naMozisi; simba rangu razvino rakaenzana nesimba rangu renguva iyoyo—rokurwa, rokubuda nokupinda. Saka ndipei nyika iyi ine zvikomo yakataurwa naBaba vedu zuva iroro. Imi makanzwa panguva iyoyo kuti vaAnaki vakanga varipo, vane maguta makuru akakomberedzwa namasvingo. Zvimwe Baba vedu vachava neni, uye ndichavadzinga, sezvavakataura.”

Ipapo Joshua akaropafadza Karebhu mwanakomana waJefune, akamupa Hebhuroni kuti ive nhaka yake. Saka Hebhuroni rakava nhaka yaKarebhu mwanakomana waJefune muKenizi kusvikira nhasi, nokuti akatevera Baba vedu, Mwari waIsraeri, zvizere. Hebhuroni kare rainzi Kiriati-abha, nokuti Abha ndiye akanga ari munhu mukuru kupfuura vose pakati pavaAnaki. Ipapo nyika yakazorora pakurwa.
