Leyo ndoda uJerobowamu yayiyiqhawe elinamandla; uSolomoni wayibona leyo nsizwa ukuthi ikhuthele emsebenzini wayo , wayibeka phezu kwawo wonke umsebenzi wendlu kaJosefa.

Amadodana kaRubeni , izibulo lika -Israyeli ngokuba wayeyizibulo ; kepha njengokuba wangcolisa umbhede kayise , ubuzibulo bakhe banikwa amadodana kaJosefa indodana ka -Israyeli, futhi akabhalwa ngezizukulwane njengezibulo.

Ngokuba inceku yakho iyazi ukuthi yonile ; bheka, ngifikile namuhla ngingowokuqala wendlu yonke kaJosefa , ngehle ukuhlangabeza inkosi yami , inkosi.

Kwenyukela eBethele nabendlu kaJosefa; uJehova wayenabo.

Abendlu kaJosefa bathuma bahlola iBethele ; igama lomuzi laliyiLuze kuqala.

Kepha ama-Amori aphumelela ukuhlala entabeni yaseHeresi , nase-Ajaloni, naseShahalabimi; kodwa isandla sendlu kaJosefa sahlula, aze asetshenziswa.

Yalahla indlu kaJosefa, ayikhethanga isizwe sakwa-Efrayimi.

kwathi ngokwesibili uJosefa waziwa ngabafowabo ; kwabonakala kuFaro isizwe sakubo kaJosefa.

Ngokukholwa uJakobe esezakufa wabusisa leyo naleyo yamadodana kaJosefa, wakhuleka encikile esihlokweni sodondolo lwakhe.

UFiliphu wafumana uNathanayeli , wathi kuye : Simfumene lowo aloba ngaye emthethweni uMose kanye nabaprofet hi, uJesu waseNazaretha , indodana kaJosefa.

Bathi-ke: Lona akusiye uJesu indodana kaJosefa , uyise nonina sibazi na ? Usesho kanjani, pho, ukuthi: Ngehle ezulwini, na?

Yena uJesu , ukuqala kwakhe , wayeneminyaka engaba ngamashumi amathathu, eyindodana, njengokushiwoyo, kaJosefa ka-Eli

kaMathati kaLevi kaMeliki kaJanayi kaJosefa

kaMati, kaMatathiya kaSemeyini kaJosefa kaJuda

kaSimeyoni kaJuda kaJosefa kaJonamu ka-Eliyakimi

Bonke bamfakazela bemangala ngamazwi omusa aphuma emlonyeni wakhe, bathi: Lo akasiyo indodana kaJosefa na?

Funani uJehova , niphile, funa afikele indlu kaJosefa njengomlilo, udle, kungekho owucimayo eBethele.

UMose wathatha amathambo kaJosefa , wahamba nawo , ngokuba wayebafungisile nokubafungisa abakwa -Israyeli, ethi: Impela uNkulunkulu uyakunihambela nokunihambela , nikhuphule lapha amathambo ami kanye nani.

Indlu yakwaJakobe iyakuba ngumlilo , indlu kaJosefa ibe yilangabi , indlu ka-Esawu ibe ngamabibi, bawashise, bawaqede; akuyikubakho oseleyo endlini ka-Esawu, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile.

Base bethatha ingubo kaJosefa, bahlaba impongo, bacwilisa ingubo egazini.

Inkosi kaJosefa yamthatha, yamfaka etilongweni, indawo lapho iziboshwa zenkosi zaziboshwa khona; waba khona etilongweni.

Kusukela kuleso sikhathi embeke ngaso ukuba abe yinduna phezu kwendlu yayo naphezu kwakho konke okwayo, uJehova wabusisa indlu yowaseGibithe ngenxa kaJosefa ; isibusiso sikaJehova sasikukho konke okwayo endlini nasensimini.

Kepha uBenjamini umfowabo kaJosefa uJakobe akamthumanga nabafowabo, ngokuba wathi: Angahle ehlelwe ngokubi.

Lowo muntu wenza njengalokho eshilo uJosefa ; inceku yawangenisa amadoda endlini kaJosefa.

Amadoda esaba , ngokuba angeniswa e ndlini kaJosefa , athi: Singeniswe lapha ngenxa yemali eyabuyiselwa emasakeni ethu kuqala ukuba asizume , asehlele, asenze izigqila kanye nezimbongolo zethu.

Asondela-ke encekwini yendlu kaJosefa , akhuluma kuyo ngasemnyango wendlu,

Inceku yayisingenisa amadoda endlini kaJosefa , yawanika amanzi ; ageza izinyawo zawo; yazipha izimbongolo zawo ukudla.

UJuda nabafowabo bafika endlini kaJosefa ; wayesekhona lapho ; bawa phansi phambi kwakhe.

Bamlandisa onke amazwi kaJosefa abewashilo kubo; lapho esebona izinqola abezithumile uJosefa zokumthwala, umoya kaJakobe uyise wavuselelwa.

Amadodana kaJosefa azalelwa wona eGibithe ayengabantu ababili ; bonke abantu bendlu kaJakobe abeza eGibithe babe ngamashumi ayisikhombisa. UJakobe uhlangana noJosefa

U-Israyeli wabona amadodana kaJosefa, wathi: Ngobani laba na?

UJosefa wabona abantwana bakwa -Efrayimi besizuk ulwane sesithathu ; nabantwana bakwaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalelwa emathangeni kaJosefa.

nendlu yonke kaJosefa , nabafowabo, nendlu kayise ; bashiya ezweni laseGosheni izingane zabo, nezimvu zabo, nezinkomo zabo kuphela.

khuluma kubo , uthi: Isho kan je iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuyithatha induku kaJosefa esesandleni sika -Efrayimi nezizwe zakwa - Israyeli, abangane bakhe , ngiyibeke endukwini kaJuda , ngizenze zibe yinduku inye, babe munye esandleni sami.

UJoshuwa wayesekhuluma kuyo indlu kaJosefa , naku-Efrayimi, nakuManase, ethi: Uyisizwe esikhulu , unamandla amakhulu ; awuyikuba nasabelo esisodwa nje;

Abanye abantwana bakwaManase babelwa nabo ngemindeni yabo : abantwana bakwa-Abiyezeri, nabantwana bakwaHeleki, nabantwana bakwa- Asiriyeli, nabantwana bakwaShekemi, nabantwana bakwaHeferi, nabantwana bakwaShemida; labo babe ngabantwana besilisa bakwaManase indodana kaJosefa ngemindeni yabo.

Ayakwahlukanisa izabelo eziyisikhombisa: uJuda uyakuhlala emkhawulweni wakhe ngaseningizimu , indlu kaJosefa ihlale emkhawulweni wayo ngasenyakatho.

Amathambo kaJosefa akhushulwa eGibithe ngabantwana bakwa -Israyeli, bawembela eShekemi esiqeshini sezwe asithengayo uJakobe kumadodana kaHamori uyise kaShekemi ngamakesita ayikhulu , laba ifa labantwana bakwaJosefa.

Owesizwe sakwa-Isakare: u-Igali indodana kaJosefa.

Amadodana kaJosefa ngemindeni yawo: ngoManase no-Efrayimi.

Yileyo eyimindeni yamadodana ka-Efrayimi ngokwababalwayo kubo , izinkulungwane ezingama shumi amathathu nambili namakhulu ayisihlanu . Lawo angamadodana kaJosefa ngemindeni yawo.

Kwase kusondela amadodakazi kaSelofehadi kaHeferi kaGileyadi kaMakiri kaManase, awemindeni kaManase indodana kaJosefa ; lawa angamagama amadodakazi akhe: oMahela, noNowa, noHogila, noMilka, noTirisa.

UMose wayesebanika abantwana bakwaGadi nabantwana bakwaRubeni nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase indodana kaJosefa umbuso kaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori nombuso ka -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , izwe nemizi yalo namaphethelo ayo, imizi yezwe nxazonke.

Izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise bomndeni wabantwana bakwaGileyadi kaMakiri kaManase , abemindeni yamadodana kaJosefa , zasondela, zakhuluma phambi kukaMose naphambi kwezikhulu, izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise babantwana bakwa-Israyeli,

Agana emindenini yamadodana kaManase indodana kaJosefa , nefa lawo lahlala esizweni somndeni kayise.

UMose wabayala abantwana bakwa -Israyeli njengezwi likaJehova , wathi: Isizwe samadodana kaJosefa sikhulume kahle.
