²⁰ Na mawe alya ikumi na avii valeoota alya mnang'ani ya Yordan, Yosua kaasalesa alya Gilgali.

²¹ Kavia vana va Israeli, “Numa elyi vana vany vashevesa vandeye, A mawe yaa ni eekyi?”

²² Llyo mushevarouwaa, “Vana va Israeli mmbo valekillya mura wa Yordan veeshiiraa ando kwaarutu.

²³ Mashika Nndumi Iruva, Iruva waany mmbo aleumisa mura wa Yordan alya mwekeeyiira kutani mwamaa iruuka, nakyo kyikava shaasa Nndumi Iruva waany etanya Yeeve lya Shamu, llya eumisa mura kutani vandu valemaa iruuka.
