¹ Kwonka Abaisraeli baacumura omu byabiikiirwe MUKAMA; ahakuba Akani, mwene Karumi, mwijukuru wa Zabudi, mwene Zeera, ow'omu ruganda rwa Yuda, akatwara aha bibiikirwe; MUKAMA yaagirira Abaisraeli ekiniga, kyayaka nk'omuriro.

² Yoshua yaatuma abantu ari Yeriko kuza Ai haihi na Besaveeni, aha rubaju rw'oburugwa-izooba bwa Beseeli, naabagira ati: Mwinamukye mutate egyo nsi. Abashaija abo baagyenda baatata Ai.
