Mazano eKunzvera Magwaro Matsvene Kwako Wega

Joshua 1:1–9

Mwari vachava neni kana ndakatendeka kwaVari.

Fungidzira kuti zvingange zvaiva zvakaita sei kuna Joshua kudaidzwa kuti atsive Mosesi. Cherechedza zvakataurwa naIshe muna Joshua 1:1–9 kumukurudzira. Funga pamusoro pezvinetso zvakaoma zvaunosangana nazvo; chii mundima idzi chinokupa ushingi?

Zvingava zvinonakidza kucherechedza kuti zita rokuti Joshua (Yehoshua kana Yeshua muchiHeberu) rinoreva kuti “Jehova anoponesa.” Uye zita rekuti Jesu rinobva pane rekuti Yeshua. Saka apo paunoverenga nezva Joshua, funga pamusoro pokuti basa rake rekutungamirira vana veIsraeri kupinda munyika yechipikirwa rinokuyeuchidza sei basa reMuponesi.
