22 Wavuka ebusuku, wathatha omkakhe ababili, nezincekukazi zakhe ezimbili, nabantwana bakhe abayishumi nanye, wawela ezibukweni elithiwa iJaboki.

25 Esebona ukuthi akamahluli, wathinta esikhoxeni senyonga yakhe, waphinyazeka uJakobe esikhoxeni senyonga esebambene naye.
26 Wayesethi: “Angihambe, ngokuba sekuyasa.”Kepha wathi: “Anginakukuyeka ukuba uhambe ungangibusisanga.”
27 Wathi kuye: “Ungubani igama lakho na?”Wathi: “NginguJakobe.”
