17 Lapho u-Abrama eneminyaka engu-99 ubudala, uJehova wabonakala kuye wathi: “NginguNkulunkulu uMninimandla Onke. Hamba phambi kwami ungabi naphutha.*

8 Wena nenzalo* yakho ngiyoninika izwe enanihlala kulo njengezifiki—lonke izwe laseKhanani +—libe elenu unomphela futhi ngiyoba uNkulunkulu wayo.” +

9 UJehova uyoxosha izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla phambi kwenu, + ngoba akekho noyedwa oye wakwazi ukumelana nani kuze kube yilolu suku. +

18 UJehova waxosha zonke izizwe kanye nama-Amori ayehlala ezweni ngaphambi kokuba sifike. Ngakho-ke, nathi sizokhonza uJehova, ngoba unguNkulunkulu wethu.”
