23 UJehova wathi kuye: “Esiswini sakho kulezizwe ezimbili+ njalo izizwe lezi ezimbili eziphakathi kwakho zizakwehlukaniswa.+ Esinye isizwe sizakuba lamandla ukwedlula esinye+ futhi omdala uzasebenzela omncane.”+

26 Ngemva kwalokho kwalandela umfowabo njalo isandla sakhe sasibambe isithende sika-Esawu,+ yikho wanikwa ibizo kwathiwa nguJakhobe.*+ URabheka wathi ebeletha abantwana laba u-Isaka wayeseleminyaka engu-60.

29 Abantu abakusebenzele, lezizwe zikukhothamele, ube yinkosi phezu kwabafowenu njalo amadodana kanyoko kawakukhothamele.+ Wonke umuntu okuqalekisayo kaqalekiswe futhi wonke umuntu okubusisayo kabusiswe.”+

37 U-Isaka wasephendula u-Esawu wathi: “Manje sengimenze waba yinkosi phezu kwakho,+ ngamupha bonke abafowabo ukuthi babe yizisebenzi zakhe njalo sengimuphe amabele lewayini elitsha ukuze angasweli.+ Pho kuyini okuseleyo engingakwenzela khona ndodana yami?”
