1Ifumbe yesabelo sekoro yakwaJuda ukuya ngokwemindenayo yafikelela ngesewula yomkhawulo wakwa-Edomu ukuyela erhalawumbeni leTsini ekugcineni kwamaphethelo wenarha ngesewula. 2Umkhawulwayo wangesewula wawuthoma ekugcineni kwelwandle leTswayi ukusuka eligwini eliqalene nesewula, 3urhubalale njalo uye ngesewula yomkghotha we-Akhirabhimu udlulele eTsini bese ukhuphukela ngesewula yeKhadetjhi-Bharineya, udlule eRhetsironi ukhuphukele e-Adari bese ujikela eKharakha, 4udlulele e-Atsimoni urhubalale ngomlanjana weGibhide bese ugcine elwandle. Lowo-ke mkhawulo wangesewula.
5Umkhawulo wangepumalanga lilwandle leTswayi ukuya ekugcineni kweJordani.
Umkhawulo ongetlhagwini uthoma eligwini lelwandle, lapha iJordani igcina khona, 6ukhuphukele eBhethe-Rhogila, udlulele ngetlhagwini yeBhethe-Araba bese ukhuphukele elitjeni lakaBhohani. (UBhohani lo bekusizukulwana sakaRubeni.) 7Umkhawulo lowo wenyukela eDebhiri udabule emrhobeni we-Akori unqombe ngetjingalanga nca ngeGiligali emalungana nomkghotha we-Adumimi ongehlangothini langesewula yomlanjana. Ukusuka lapho udlulele emanzini womthombo iTjhemetjhi bese uyokutjhayisa emthonjeni iRogeli. 8Ukusuka lapho wenyuke ngomrhoba weBheni-Hinomu ugege nehlangothi langesewula yentaba yamaJebusi (okutjho iJerusalema), uye esiqongolweni sentaba elinganisene nomrhoba weHinomu ngetjingalanga okumaphethelo womrhoba weRafa, 9bese ujike ukusuka esiqongolweni sentaba leyo uye emthonjeni weNefitowarhi, ukusuka lapho unqombe emizaneni engentabeni i-Efroni, ujikele nca ngemzini weBhala (okutjho iKhiriyathi-Jeyarimu). 10Ukusuka lapho ujikela ngetjingalanga uye entabeni iSeyiri, unqombe ngehlangothini elingetlhagwini yentaba iJeyarimu (okutjho iKesaloni) bese wehlele eBhethe-Tjhemetjhi, udabule eTimna. 11Ukusuka lapho umkhawulo udlula ehlangothini elingetlhagwini yentaba i-Ekhironi, ujikele nca ngeTjhikeroni udlulele entabeni iBhala bese utjhinga nca ngeJabiniyeli ubhoduluke uzokuphelela ekupheleleni kwelwandle. 12Umkhawulo wangetjingalanga kwakulilwandle elikhulu kanye neligu lalo. Leyo-ke mikhawulo ebegade izombeleze abantu bakwaJuda ukuya ngokwemindenabo.
13Ukuya ngokomyalo kaSomnini kuJotjhuwa, uKalebi umsa kaJefune wanikelwa isabelo hlangana nabantu bakwaJuda. Isabelweso bekuyiKhiriyathi-Ariba, okutjho iRhebroni (u-Ariba gade kunguyise ka-Anakhi). 14UKalebi waqotjha lapho amadodana amathathu ka-Anakhi okunguTjhetjhayi, u-Arhimani noTalimayi. 15Wasuka lapho wenyuka wayokusahlela abahlali beDebhiri. Ekuthomeni iDebhiri bekuthiwa yiKhiriyathi-Seferi. 16UKalebi wathi: “Nanyana ngubani omadlha iKhiriyathi-Seferi, ayithumbe, ngizamnikela u-Akisa indodakazami abe mkakhe.”
17U-Otiniyeli umsa kaKhenazi, ongumfowabo omncani kaKalebi, wayithumba. UKalebi wamnikela indodakazakhe u-Akisa bona abe mkakhe. 18Ekufikeni kwaka-Akisa ku-Otiniyeli gade amyenge bonyana akhombele uyise isimu. Kodwana kuthe nabafika kuyise, u-Akisa asehla kudumbanakhe, uKalebi wathi kuye: “Ufuna ngikwenzeleni?”
19Yena waphendula wathi: “Ngibawa isipho. Ubaba ungibeke ngesewula yenarha eyomileko, yeke akangiphe indawo enamanzi.” Nje-ke uKalebi wamnikela indawo enamanzi emibundwini nangemirhobeni.
