URabega waya eKanana no-Eliyezeri wayokutjhada no-Isaka
U-Eliyezeri wakhamba nezinye iinceku zaka-Abrahamu. Bekulikhambo elide khulu. Bakhamba namakamela alitjhumi athwele ukudla nezipho. U-Eliyezeri bekazokwazi njani bona ngimuphi umfazi azomkhethela u-Isaka? U-Eliyezeri nezinye iinceku nebafika eHarana, bajama emthonjeni ngombana bebazi bona msinyana abantu bazokuza bazokukha amanzi. Wathandaza kuJehova wathi: ‘Nengibawa intombi bona ingiphe amanzi bese ingipha wona begodu inikele namakamelami amanzi, ngizokwazi bona ngiyo leyo oyikhethileko.’
Ngemva kwalokho intombi enguRabega yafika emthonjeni. IBhayibheli ithi bekamuhle khulu. U-Eliyezeri wambawa amanzi, yena wathi: ‘Akunamraro. Ngizokupha amanzi begodu ngiphe namakamelakho.’ Cabanga! Amakamela omileko asela amanzi amanengi khulu, ngalokho uRabega kwatlhogeka abuyele kanengi emthonjeni. Uyambona esithombeni bona usebenza budisi kangangani?— U-Eliyezeri warareka ukubona indlela uJehova awuphendula ngayo umthandazwakhe.
U-Eliyezeri wanikela uRabega izipho ezinengi ezihle. Wamema u-Eliyezeri nezinye iinceku bona bakhambe naye ekhabo. U-Eliyezeri wahlathulula bona kubayini u-Abrahamu amthumela lapho nokobana uJehova uwuphendule njani umthandazwakhe. Umndeni kaRabega wakuthabela ukumvumela bona atjhade no-Isaka.
URabega bekazimisele ukusebenza budisi bona aphe amakamela amanzi
Kodwana ucabanga bona uRabega yena bekafuna ukutjhada no-Isaka?— URabega bekazi bona nguJehova othume u-Eliyezeri lapho. Ngalokho umndeni kaRabega newumbuza bona uyafuna na ukuya eKanana ayokutjhada no-Isaka, wathi: ‘Iye, ngiyafuna.’ Khonokho, wakhamba no-Eliyezeri. Nebafika eKanana, watjhada no-Isaka.
