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.+

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.”+

2 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma lo-Israyeli ngombono ebusuku wathi: “Jakhobe! Jakhobe!” yena wathi: “Ngilapha!” 3 Wasesithi kuye: “NginguNkulunkulu weqiniso, uNkulunkulu kayihlo.+ Ungesabi ukuya eGibhithe ngoba ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu+ kuleyondawo.

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

32 Laba yibo-ke abako-Israyeli ababhaliswa kusiya ngezindlu zaboyise; sebehlangene bonke ababesezihonqweni ababhalisa ukuthi babe ngamasotsha babengu-603 550.+
