12 UJehova wasesithi ku-Abrama: “Suka elizweni lakini lasezihlotsheni zakho lakwabendlu kayihlo uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.+ 2 Ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu, ngikubusise, ngenze ukuthi ibizo lakho libe likhulu njalo uzakuba yisibusiso.+

7 Abantu bako-Israyeli bazalana baba banengi njalo baqhubeka besanda kakhulu futhi besiba lamandla amangalisayo baze bagcwala elizweni.+

5 Ngemva kwalokho kumele ukhulume phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uthi, ‘Ubaba wayengum-Aramu ozulazulayo+ njalo waya eGibhithe+ wayahlala khona engowezizweni, elabantu abalutshwana emulini yakhe+ kodwa esekhonale waba yisizwe esikhulu, esilamandla futhi esilabantu abanengi.+
