11 Wafika endaweni ethile, wahlala khona ubusuku bonke, ngokuba ilanga lase lishonile; wathatha elinye lamatshe aleyondawo, walibeka phansi kwekhanda lakhe, walala kuleyo ndawo.
12 Waphupha, bheka, nanko umkhwelo umiswe emhlabathini, isihloko sawo sifinyelela ezulwini; nezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu zenyuka, zehla kuwo.
13 Bheka, uJehova wayemi ngaphezu kwawo, wathi: “NginguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama uyihlo, noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka; leli zwe olele kulo ngizakulinika wena nenzalo yakho.
14 Inzalo yakho iyakuba ngangothuli lomhlabathi, wena usabalalele ngasentshonalanga, nasempumalanga, nasenyakatho, naseningizimu; ngawe nangenzalo yakho iyakubusiswa imindeni yonke yomhlaba.
15 Bheka, nginawe; ngiyakukulondoloza nakuphi lapho uya khona, ngikubuyisele kuleli zwe, ngokuba angiyikukushiya, ngingakakwenzi lokho engikushilo kuwe.”
16 Wayesephaphama uJakobe ebuthongweni bakhe, wathi: “Imbala uJehova ukule ndawo, mina-ke bengingakwazi.”
17 Washaywa luvalo, wathi: “Yeka ukwesabeka kwale ndawo! Akusikho okunye, yindlu kaNkulunkulu kuphela, yisango lezulu.”
