UJehova wathi ku-Abhrahama: ‘Suka elizweni lakini lasebantwini bakini uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.’ UNkulunkulu wasemthembisa wathi: ‘Ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu njalo ngizakwenzela abantu abanengi emhlabeni izinto ezinhle ngenxa yakho.’
U-Abhrahama wathembela kuJehova lanxa wayengakwazi ukuthi ufuna aye ngaphi. Yikho u-Abhrahama, umkakhe uSara, uyise uThera lomntanomnewabo uLothi balalela bathatha impahla zabo basuka e-Uri.
