8 Bathi, Asinako, ide ihlanganiswe yonke imihlambi, liqengqwe ilitye, lisuke emlonyeni wequla, siyiseze ke impahla emfutshane.
9 Ke kaloku esathetha nabo, wafika uRakeli nempahla emfutshane kayise; kuba ubeyalusa.
10 Kwathi, uYakobi akumbona uRakeli intombi kaLabhan, uninalume, nempahla emfutshane kaLabhan uninalume, wasondela uYakobi, waliqengqa ilitye lesuka emlonyeni wequla, wayiseza impahla emfutshane kaLabhan uninalume.
11 UYakobi wamanga uRakeli, waliphakamisa izwi lakhe, wasitsho isililo.
12 UYakobi wamxelela uRakeli ukuba ungumzalwana kayise, nokuba ungunyana kaRebheka.
13 Wagidima yena waxelela uyise. Kwathi, uLabhan akuluva udaba lukaYakobi, unyana wodade wabo, wagidima waya kumkhawulela, wamwola, wamanga, wamngenisa endlwini yakhe. Yena wambalisela uLabhan ngezo ndawo zonke.
14 Wathi uLabhan kuye, Okunene ulithambo lam, uyinyama yam. Wahlala naye inyanga iphela.
