7 Jehova wabese ubonakala ku-Abrama, futsi watsi kuye: “Lelive ngitalinika bantfwana* bakho.”+ Ngako Abrama wakhela Jehova li-al’thare kuleyo ndzawo, ngobe kulapho abonakala khona kuye.

13 Ngemuva kwaloko, Nkulunkulu watsi ku-Abrama: “Yati kutsi bantfwana* bakho batawuba bantfu bekuhamba eveni lelingasilo labo, futsi bantfu bakulelo live batabagcilata baphindze babahluphe iminyaka lengu-400.+

17 Ngesikhatsi Abrama asaneminyaka lengu-99, Jehova wabonakala kuye watsi: “NginguNkulunkulu Somandla. Hlala wetsembekile kimi futsi ube msulwa.*

8 Lonkhe lelive laseKhenani lebewuhlala kulo njengesihambi+ ngitalinika wena nentalelwane* yakho letakuta emvakwakho, futsi litawuhlala lingelenu. Mine ngitawuba nguNkulunkulu walentalelwane yakho.”+

9 Ngekukholwa wahlala njengesihambi eveni lesetsembiso kwaba shengatsi kukulelinye live,+ futsi wahlala emathendeni+ na-Isaka kanye naJakobe, labatindlalifa letikanye naye tesetsembiso lesifanako.+
