13 USirayeli wathi kuYosefu, Abakhuluwa bakho àbalusi eShekem na? Yiza, ndikuthume kubo.
14 Wathi yena kuye, Ndilapha. Wathi kuye, Khawuye kukhangela ukuphila kwabakhuluwa bakho, nokuphila kwempahla emfutshane; ubuye uze kundixelela. Wamthuma ke, emsusa entilini yaseHebron, waya eShekem.
15 Wafunyanwa ngumfo, ebhadula endle; umfo lowo wambuza wathi, Ùfuna ntoni na?
16 Wathi, Ndifuna abakhuluwa bam; khawundixelele apho balusa khona.
17 Wathi umfo, Bandulukile apha, kuba khendeva besithi, Masiye eDotan. UYosefu wabalandela abakhuluwa bakhe, wabafumana eDotan.
18 Bambona ke esekude, engekasondeli kubo, benza iyelenqe lokumbulala.
