3 Ndamthabatha uyihlo uAbraham phesheya koMlambo, ndamhambisa ezweni lonke lakwaKanan, ndayandisa imbewu yakhe, ndamnika uIsake.
4 UIsake ndamnika uYakobi noEsawu; uEsawu ndamnika iintaba zakwaSehire, ukuba azimé; ke uYakobi noonyana bakhe behla baya eYiputa.
5 Ndathuma uMoses noAron, ndayihlisela izibetho iYiputa, njengoko ndenzayo phakathi kwayo; emveni koko ndanikhupha.
6 Ndabakhupha ooyihlo eYiputa, nafika elwandle; amaYiputa abasukela ooyihlo ngeenqwelo zokulwa nangabamahashe, beza kuLwandle oluBomvu.*
7 Bakhala kuYehova; wabeka isithokothoko phakathi kwenu namaYiputa, wawazisela ulwandle, wawagubungela; amehlo enu akubona oko ndakwenzayo eYiputa.Nahlala entlango imihla emininzi.
8 Ndaningenisa ezweni lama-Amori, abehleli phesheya kweYordan, alwa nani; ndawanikela esandleni senu, nalihlutha ilizwe lawo; ndawatshabalalisa phambi kwenu.
9 Wesuka uBhalaki unyana kaTsipore, ukumkani wakwaMowabhi, walwa namaSirayeli; wathuma, wabiza uBhileham unyana kaBhehore, ukuba aniqalekise.
