Ikhalselai, Joshua hmunah Bawipa’i ralkap kherkher hlat i. Pathian in a thutiam hnak ram ai umtu Canaan mite tawng tuh in Israel mite hmang tum ai Israel mipi hotu (ralkap hotu tiin khai ruat / lang thil i) “Joshua thape hnak in Bawipa ralkap Joshua hnenah lar i” tiin, ruat selai dikcang ber tuhin ngaisung thil i.

Cia heh Pathian in a thu tiamhnak khim ruai, amah rori in Israel mite heh kong hoi in tawng tuh ti heh Israel mipi hotu Joshua hnenah thazang pehnak in Pathian amah lar dun ruai i, tiin, lang selai cangthil thai ber tuh i, tiin ngaisung thil i.

Pathian in Canaan ram zem tuhin Joshua hnenah thu a pe fangin a tawng lailo hnak, a lang lailo hnak ramte khai tel cih in zem ruai i (Joshua 13:1-6). Cen, ciami a tawng lailo, a lang lailo hnak khuate heh amah Pathian in hnawt tuh sio in thu khai tiam i (Joshua 13.6). Pathian in a thu tiam hnak bangin ciami ramte heh tawng in lang peupeu i (Thukhantute 1.1-27). Ikhalselai, Israel mite in Pathian thupehnak bangin (Exo. 20:10-12) Canaan mite heh hnawt siolo i (Joshua 1.27-36). Cetihai, a hnawtsiolo hnak thu heh Joshua chapter 2 thawn kop cih in, phundang in zir leh tuh hnak i.

A siartu ning veksen vumah Pathian in hmuifu ning pe tu sinsin seh.
