Wenyuka uThixo esuka kuAbraham. 23uAbraham wamthabatha uIshmayeli unyana wakhe, nabo bonke ababezalelwe endlwini yakhe, nabo bonke abazuzwe ngemali yakhe, yonke into eyindoda phakathi kwamadoda endlu ka-Abraham; aza abalusa inyama yokuqala yobudoda ngaloo mini kanye njengoko uThixo wayemyalele. 24uAbraham ubeminyaka imashumi asithoba anesithoba ezelwe, ukwaluka kwakhe. 25uIshmayeli unyana wakhe ebeminyaka ilishumi elinamithathu ezelwe, ukwaluka. 26Kwangaloo mini, boluka uAbraham, noIshmayeli unyana wakhe. 27Onke amadoda endlu yakhe, azalelwe endlwini yakhe, nazuzwe ngemali kubani wolunye uhlanga, aluswa kunye naye.
