18 Ngalelolanga, Jehova wenta sivumelwane+ na-Abrama watsi: “Bantfwana* bakho ngitabanika lelive,+ kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kuze kuyofika emfuleni lomkhulu, iYufrathe:+

8 Ngitakuya kubo kuze ngibakhulule kulabantfu baseGibhithe,+ ngibakhiphe kulelo live futsi ngibayise eveni lelihle nalelikhulu, live leligeleta lubisi neluju,+ lokulive lemaKhenani, lemaHethi, lema-Amori, lemaPheresi, lemaHivi nelemaJebhusi.+

24 Kungako ngitsite kini: “Lelive lato leligeleta lubisi neluju nitawulitsatsa, futsi ngitaninika lona libe lenu.+ NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, lonente nehluka kuletinye tive.”+

3 Kufanele nilalele nine ma-Israyeli, niyigcine ngekucophelela lemitsetfo kute nitewuphumelela futsi nandze kulelive leligeleta lubisi neluju, njengobe nje Jehova Nkulunkulu wabokhokho benu anetsembisile.
