Mabasa 7:1-8

Mupristi mukuru akati, “Zvinhu izvi ndizvo nhai?” Iye akati, “Varume, hama, namadzibaba, inzwai, Mwari wokubwinya akazviratidza kuna baba vedu Abhurahamu, vachiri Mesopotamia, vasati vagara Harani, akati kwavari, ‘Ibva munyika yako, nokuhama dzako, uende kunyika yandinozokuratidza.’ Ipapo akabuda munyika yavaKaridhia, akagara Harani. Zvino baba vake vakati vafa, Mwari akamutamisa ipapo kunyika ino yamugere zvino. Asi haana kumupa nhaka imomo, kunyange paangatsika norutsoka rwake, asi akamupikira kuti achamupa iyo, ive yake neyavana vake vaizomutevera, asati atongova nomwana. Mwari akataura, achiti, vana vake vachava vatorwa kunyika yavamwe; vachavaita varanda, nokuvaonesa nhamo makore ana mazana mana. Rudzi rwavachava varanda varwo, ndicharutongesa, ndizvo zvinoreva Mwari; shure kwaizvozvo vachabuda, vachandishumira panzvimbo iyi. Akamupa sungano yedzingiso. Zvino Abhurahamu akabereka Isaka, akamudzingisa nezuva rorusere; Isaka akabereka Jakobho; naJakobho akabereka matateguru ane gumi namaviri.
