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

5 Mina ngokwami sengikuzwile ukububula kwabantu bako-Israyeli abenziwa izigqili ngamaGibhithe futhi ngiyasikhumbula isivumelwano+ sami.

8 Kanti njalo ngizalisa elizweni engafunga* ukuthi ngizalipha u-Abrahama lo-Isaka loJakhobe, ngiliphe lona libe ngelenu.+ NginguJehova.’”+
