7 UYehova wabonakala kuAbram waza wathi: “Inzala* yakho+ ndiza kuyinika eli lizwe.”+ UAbram wakhela uYehova owayebonakele kuye isibingelelo kuloo ndawo.

7 Wena unguYehova uThixo wokwenene, owakhetha uAbram,+ wamkhupha eUre+ yamaKhaledi, waza wamnika igama elinguAbraham.+ 8 Wabona ukuba intliziyo yakhe ithembekile kuwe,+ waza wenza isivumelwano kunye naye sokunika inzala* yakhe ilizwe lamaKanan,+ elamaHiti, elama-Amori, elamaPerizi, elamaYebhusi nelamaGirgashi; ibe wasigcina isithembiso sakho, kuba ulilungisa.

23 aza enzeka amazwi asezibhalweni, athi: “UAbraham wakholwa kuYehova,* wajongwa njengelungisa,”+ waza wabizwa ngokuba ngumhlobo kaYe­hova.*+
