2 Ngiyakukwenza isizwe esikhulu, ngikubusise, ngenze igama lakho libe likhulu, wena ube yisibusiso.
3 Ngiyakubabusisa abakubusisayo, nokuqalekisayo ngiyakumqalekisa; imindeni yonke yomhlaba iyakubusiswa kuwe.”
4 Wayesesuka u-Abrama, njengalokho uJehova emtshelile; uLoti wahamba naye; u-Abrama wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu mhla ephuma eHarana.
5 U-Abrama wathatha uSarayi umkakhe, noLoti indodana yomfowabo, nempahla yonke ababeyibuthile, nezinceku ababezitholile eHarana; basuka ukuya ezweni laseKhanani; bafika-ke ezweni laseKhanani.
6 U-Abrama wadabula izwe, waze wafika endaweni yaseShekemi nase-okini* laseMore; amaKhanani ayesekhona ezweni.
7 UJehova wabonakala ku-Abrama, wathi: “Leli zwe ngiyakulinika inzalo yakho.” Wamakhela khona i-altare uJehova owayebonakele kuye.
8 Wayesesuka lapho, waya entabeni ngasempumalanga kwaseBethele, wamisa itende lakhe, iBethele lingasentshonalanga ne-Ayi lingasempumalanga; wamakhela khona uJehova i-altare, wakhuleka egameni likaJehova.
