18 Ngalelolanga uJehova wenza isivumelwano lo-Abrama+ wathi: “Ilizwe leli ngizalinika izizukulwane zakho,+ kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kuze kuyefika emfuleni omkhulu, umfula uYufrathe:+

31 “Ngizabeka umngcele wenu kusukela eLwandle Olubomvu kuze kuyefika elwandle lwamaFilisti, kusukela enkangala kuze kuyefika emfuleni*+ ngoba ngizanikela izakhamizi zelizwe esandleni senu njalo lizazisusa phambi kwenu.+

2 “Tshela abantu bako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nxa selingenile elizweni leKhenani,+ lelo yilo ilizwe elizaliphiwa ukuthi libe lilifa lenu, ilizwe leKhenani kusiya ngemingcele yalo.+

3 “‘Umngcele wenu oseningizimu uzasukela enkangala yeZini eceleni kwe-Edomi futhi umngcele wenu weningizimu ngasempumalanga uzasukela emaphethelweni oLwandle Lwesawudo.+

7 Sukani liqonde emangweni wama-Amori+ osezintabeni laseduze kwazo zonke indawo akhelane lazo e-Arabha,+ lasezintabeni, laseShefela, laseNegebhi, lasendaweni eziseduze kolwandle,+ laselizweni lamaKhenani kanye laseLebhanoni*+ lize liyefika emfuleni omkhulu, umfula uYufrathe.+

15 Ilizwe elanikwa+ isizwana sakoJuda ngezimuli zaso lalitshaya lize liyefika emngceleni wako-Edomi+ lasenkangala yaseZini, lifike lasekucineni kweNegebhi ngaseningizimu.

4 uqonde e-Azimoni+ udlule uze uyefika esihotsheni* seGibhithe,+ utshaye uze uyephelela elwandle.* Lo yiwo owawungumngcele wabo ngaseningizimu.
