20 fir yakub ne parmeshvar se yah mannat maani: “agar tu har kadam par mera saath de, safar mein meri hifazat karta rahe, mujhe khaane ke liye roti aur pehanne ke liye kapde deta rahe 21 aur agar main sahi-salamat apne pita ke ghar laut aaya, to hey yahova, main jaan jaaunga ki toone khud ko mera parmeshvar saabit kiya hai. 22 aur yah patthar jise mainne yaadgar ke taur par khada kiya hai, parmeshvar ka ghar thehrega.+ aur main vaada karta hoon ki teri di hui har cheez ka dasvaan hissa tujhe zaroor arpit karoonga.”

30 tab yiptah ne yahova se ek mannat maani+ aur kaha, “agar tu ammoniyon ko mere haath kar dega, 31 to meri jeet ki khushi mein jo sabse pehale mujhse milne mere ghar se baahar aayega, woh yahova ka ho jaayega+ aur main use hom-bali* ke taur par parmeshvar ko arpit kar doonga.”+
