Afei a asase no abɛdi Israelfoɔ nsam no, Israelfoɔ nyinaa boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Silo na wɔsii hyiadan.

Nanso, na aka mmusuakuo nson a wɔmfaa wɔn kyɛfa no mmaa wɔn.

Enti, Yosua bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Moretwɛn akɔsi da bɛn ansa na moafa asase no nkaeɛ a Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn de ama mo no?

Monyi nnipa baasa mfiri abusuakuo biara mu na mɛsoma wɔn ama wɔakɔsra baabi a wɔnnii hɔ soɔ no. Wɔsane ba a, wɔbɛtwerɛ deɛ wɔhunuiɛ agu krataa so akyerɛ me sɛdeɛ wɔbɛkyekyɛ agyapadeɛ no.

Akwansrafoɔ no bɛkyekyɛ asase no mu nson, na wɔremfa Yuda asase a ɛda anafoɔ fam ne Yosef asase a ɛwɔ atifi fam no nka ho.

Afei, mɛbɔ ntonto a ɛho te wɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn anim, apɛ baabi a wɔde bɛma abusuakuo biara.

Nanso, Lewifoɔ no rennya asase biara. Wɔn dwumadie sɛ Awurade asɔfoɔ no bɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ. Na Gad ne Ruben mmusuakuo ne Manase abusuakuo fa no nso renya asase no bi bio, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔanya wɔn agyapadeɛ a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ de maa wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no dada.”

Asase no nkyekyɛmu a ɛdi ɛkan no kɔɔ mmusua a ɛwɔ Benyamin abusuakuo no nsam. Na ɛda nsase a wɔde maa Yuda ne Yosef mmusuakuo no.

Atifi fam ɛhyeɛ no firi Asubɔnten Yordan kɔ Yeriko nsianeɛ no atifi, na afei, afa bepɔ mantam ne Bet-Awen ɛserɛ so akɔ atɔeɛ fam.
