1 U-Israyeli wasuka nakho konke okwakhe, wafika eBeri Sheba, wanikela iminikelo kuNkulunkulu kayise u-Isaka.
2 UNkulunkulu wakhuluma ku-Israyeli ngemibono yasebusuku, wathi: “Jakobe, Jakobe!”Wathi: “Ngilapha.”
3 Wayesethi: “NginguNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu kayihlo; ungesabi ukwehlela eGibithe, ngokuba ngiyakukwenza khona isizwe esikhulu.
4 Mina ngiyakwehla, ngiye nawe eGibithe; impela ngizakubuye ngikukhuphule futhi. UJosefa uyakubeka isandla sakhe phezu kwamehlo akho.”
5 UJakobe wayesesuka eBeri Sheba; amadodana ka-Israyeli amthwala uJakobe uyise, nezingane zawo, nawomkawo ezinqoleni abezithumile uFaro zokumthwala.
6 Bathatha imfuyo yabo nempahla yabo ababeyizuze ezweni laseKhanani, bafika eGibithe, uJakobe nayo yonke inzalo yakhe kanye naye.
