14 Kwathi uLothi esesukile, uJehova wasesithi ku-Abrama: “Ngicela uphakamise amehlo akho ulapho omi khona, ukhangele enyakatho laseningizimu, empumalanga lasentshonalanga,

16 Ngizakwenza izizukulwane zakho* zibe zinengi njengothuli, okokuthi nxa ekhona ongabala uthuli, lezizukulwane zakho zingabalwa.*+

15 Ngemva kwalokho ilizwi likaJehova lafika ku-Abrama embonweni lisithi: “Ungesabi+ Abrama. Ngilihawu lakho.+ Umvuzo wakho uzakuba mkhulu kakhulu.”+

5 Wasesithi kaphume phandle wathi kuye: “Ngicela ukhangele phezulu emazulwini ubale izinkanyezi nxa usenelisa ukwenza njalo.” Wasesithi kuye: “Izizukulwane zakho lazo zizakuba* njalo.”+

5 Awusoze uphinde ubizwe ngokuthi ungu-Abrama* kodwa usuzabizwa ngokuthi ungu-Abrahama* ngoba ngizakwenza ube nguyise wezizwe ezinengi.

17 ngizakubusisa sibili njalo ngizakwandisa inzalo yakho* loba sekutheni, ibe njengezinkanyezi zamazulu lanjengetshebetshebe ekhunjini lolwandle+ njalo inzalo yakho izathatha* amadolobho* ezitha zayo.+ 18 Ngenzalo yakho*+ zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizazitholela isibusiso ngenxa yokuthi ulalele ilizwi lami.’”+

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.+
