7 UJehova wasebonakala ku-Abrama wathi: “Ilizwe leli ngizalipha+ izizukulwane zakho.”*+ Ngakho u-Abrama wakha i-alithare kuleyondawo, elakhela uJehova owayebonakale kuye.

7 Wena unguJehova uNkulunkulu weqiniso owakhetha u-Abrama+ wamkhipha e-Uri+ idolobho lamaKhaledi, wamnika ibizo elithi Abrahama.+ 8 Wabona ukuthi uthembeke ngenhliziyo yonke kuwe+ yikho wenza laye isivumelwano wamthembisa ukuthi uzamnika ilizwe lamaKhenani, lamaHithi, lama-Amori, lamaPherizi, lamaJebusi lamaGirigashi ukuze libe ngelezizukulwane zakhe.+ Wazigcina izithembiso zakho ngenxa yokuthi ulungile.

23 kwagcwaliseka umbhalo othi: “U-Abrahama wakholwa kuJehova* kwathiwa ulungile,”+ wasebizwa ngokuthi ngumngane kaJehova.*+
