EYASENTLANGO 36

₁Iinkulu zendlu yakwaGiliyadi unyana kaMakire umzukulwana kaManase unyana kaJosefu, zaya kuMosis enezinye iinkokheli. ₂Zafika zathi: “*UNdikhoyo wakuyalela ukuba amaSirayeli uwabele umhlaba *ngamaqashiso. Ngokunjalo wathi umhlaba womntakwethu uZelofehadi uze uwunike iintombi zakhe. ₃Kambe ke xa zithe zendela ndlwini yimbi, loo mhlaba wazo uwela kuloo ndlu; ngaloo ndlela ke umhlaba olilifa lethu utsho unciphe. ₄Ngonyaka wobuyiselo xa yonke imihlaba ebithengiwe ibuyiselwa kubanini bayo bamandulo, imihlaba yeentombi zikaZelofehadi ibuyela kwezo zindlu zendele kuzo; ngaloo ndlela ke uyancipha umhlaba olilifa lakowethu.”

₅Ngoko ke uMosis wathetha namaSirayeli, wawanika lo myalelo kaNdikhoyo uthi: “Le nto ithethwa ngamaManase yinyani. ₆Ngoko ke uNdikhoyo uthi: ‘Iintombi zikaZelofehadi zikhululekile ukuba zendele nakubani na, kodwa ke kube kwakule ndlu yakowazo. ₇Umhlaba olilifa lendlu yakwaSirayeli mawungadluleli kwizindlu ngezindlu. Umhlaba womSirayeli ngamnye kufuneka uhlale ungowaloo ndlu azalwa kuyo nanini na. ₈Intombi yomSirayeli efumene ilifa lomhlaba kufuneka yendele kwakuloo ndlu yakowayo. Ngale ndlela ke umhlaba wookhokho bendlu ethile uya kujikeleza kwakuloo ndlu, ₉ungaze uphuncuke uye ndlwini yimbi. Umhlaba wendlu nganye uya kuhlala ungowaloo ndlu nanini na.’ ”

_10-11Ke kaloku uMala, uTiza, uHogela, uMilika, noNoha, iintombi zikaZelofehadi, zenza ngokomlomo kaNdikhoyo kuMosis, zendela kwimizi yendlu yakowazo. ₁₂Ewe, zendela kwakwimizi yendlu kaManase unyana kaJosefu, yaza ke ngolo hlobo imihlaba kayise ayaphuma kule ndlu yakowazo.

₁₃Nantso ke imiyalelo nemimiselo eyanikwa amaSirayeli nguNdikhoyo ngoMosis, kuloo mathafa aseMowabhi phesheya kweJordan malunga neJeriko.
