12 UJehova wasesithi ku-Abrama: “Suka elizweni lakini lasezihlotsheni zakho lakwabendlu kayihlo uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.+

3 Ngizababusisa labo abakubusisayo njalo umuntu okuqalekisayo ngizamqalekisa.+ Zonke imuli ezisemhlabeni zizabusiswa* ngawe.”+

28 Ngakho u-Isaka wabiza uJakhobe wambusisa, wasemlaya wathi: “Akumelanga uthathe umfazi kumadodakazi aseKhenani.+

3 UNkulunkulu uSomandla uzakubusisa akuphe abantwana abanengi, akwandise futhi wena uzakuba yisizwe esilabantu abanengi.+

42 Aluba uNkulunkulu kababa,+ uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, lowo owesatshwa ngu-Isaka+ ubengekho eceleni kwami, ubuzangikhipha emzini wakho ngilengise izandla. UNkulunkulu ukubonile ukuhlupheka kwami lokusebenza nzima kwami, yikho ekukhuzile izolo ebusuku.”+

12 “Nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi Enkulu uJehova: ‘Abako-Edomi baphindisele ebantwini bakoJuda, bazidalela icala elikhulu.+ 13 Ngakho iNkosi Enkulu uJehova ithi: “Ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwelizwe lako-Edomi ngibulale abantu lezifuyo, ngilitshiye liyinkangala.+ Abantu bazabulawa ngenkemba kusukela eThemani kuze kuyefika eDedani.+
