17 Ngesikhatsi Abrama asaneminyaka lengu-99, Jehova wabonakala kuye watsi: “NginguNkulunkulu Somandla. Hlala wetsembekile kimi futsi ube msulwa.*

8 Lonkhe lelive laseKhenani lebewuhlala kulo njengesihambi+ ngitalinika wena nentalelwane* yakho letakuta emvakwakho, futsi litawuhlala lingelenu. Mine ngitawuba nguNkulunkulu walentalelwane yakho.”+

9 Ngekukholwa wahlala njengesihambi eveni lesetsembiso kwaba shengatsi kukulelinye live,+ futsi wahlala emathendeni+ na-Isaka kanye naJakobe, labatindlalifa letikanye naye tesetsembiso lesifanako.+

13 Bonkhe laba bafa banekukholwa nanobe bangazange bakutfole kugcwaliseka kwaletetsembiso,+ kodvwa batibona tisekhashane,+ batemukela futsi bavuma kutsi batihambi netakhamuti tesikhashana eveni.
