18 Ngalelolanga uJehova wenza isivumelwano lo-Abrama+ wathi: “Ilizwe leli ngizalinika izizukulwane zakho,+ kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kuze kuyefika emfuleni omkhulu, umfula uYufrathe:+

3 Hlala njengowezizweni elizweni leli.+ Ngizaqhubeka ngilawe futhi ngikubusisa ngoba wonke amazwe la ngizawanika wena lezizukulwane zakho*+ njalo ngizasigcwalisa isifungo engasenza kuyihlo u-Abrahama+ ngathi:

12 Ilizwe engalipha u-Abrahama lo-Isaka ngizakunika lona njalo ngizalinika lezizukulwane zakho ezizalandela ngemva kwakho.”+

13 Khumbula izinceku zakho u-Abrahama lo-Isaka lo-Israyeli owafunga kuzo wena ngokwakho wathi: ‘Ngizakwandisa izizukulwane* zenu zibe njengezinkanyezi zamazulu+ njalo ngizanika izizukulwane* zenu lonke ilizwe leli ukuze zilithathe libe ngelazo kokuphela.’”+
