 Amaqabunga alesi sitshalo agoqeka abe yibhola, elivumela ukuthi liphephetheze emoyeni njengokhula. Izimpande zawo zihlala zinjalo, futhi lapho sithola umthombo wamanzi lesi sitshalo siyavuleka ngokushesha futhi sibe luhlaza kuze kube yilapho amanzi engasekho.

 I-rose yaseJeriko inezinganekwane zobuKristu ezihlotshaniswa nayo. Kwenye indaba, ezinsukwini ezingamashumi amane uJesu ehlala ehlane wahamba nesitshalo. Yayiwa eduze kwakhe zonke izinsuku. Kwathiwa rose laseJeriko  “yayipheshulwe Imimoya Yemimoya Emine ethunyelwe nguNkulunkulu.”  Wakwazi ukuphila ngokuqoqa amazolo asekuseni esitshalweni futhi awaphuze ukuze angabulawa ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni. Ngenxa yalokhu, uJeshua wasibusisa lesi sitshalo futhi wasimemezela siwumlingo ukuze sidlule ebunzimeni.
 
 Enye indaba yobuKristu ithi i-rose yaseJeriko yaqhakaza futhi yachuma ngenkathi uJeshua esaphila, kodwa yashwabana ngesikhathi nangemva kokubethelwa kwakhe. Nokho, lapho uJeshua evusa, kanjalo nesitshalo.
