17 U-Abrama wathi eseleminyaka engu-99 uJehova wabonakala kuye wathi: “NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla. Hamba ezindleleni zami, utshengise ukuthi umsulwa.* 2 Ngizakwenza isivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe+ futhi ngizakwandisa kakhulukazi.”+

15 Ingilosi kaJehova yaphinda yabiza u-Abrahama okwesibili isemazulwini, 16 yathi: “‘Ngifunga ngami uqobo,’ kutsho uJehova,+ ‘ngithi ngenxa yokuthi ukwenzile lokhu, wavuma ukungipha indodana yakho eyiyo yodwa,+ 17 ngizakubusisa sibili njalo ngizakwandisa inzalo yakho* loba sekutheni, ibe njengezinkanyezi zamazulu lanjengetshebetshebe ekhunjini lolwandle+ njalo inzalo yakho izathatha* amadolobho* ezitha zayo.+ 18 Ngenzalo yakho*+ zonke izizwe zomhlaba zizazitholela isibusiso ngenxa yokuthi ulalele ilizwi lami.’”+
