Simuka usimudze mukomana, umubate noruoko rwako, nokuti ndichamuita rudzi rukuru.” Ipapo Mwari akasvinudza meso ake, akaona tsime remvura; akaenda, akazadza guchu nemvura, akanwisa mukomana. Mwari akava nomukomana, akakura, akagara murenje, akava munhu anopfura nouta. Akagara murenje reParani, mai vake vakamutorera mukadzi kunyika yeIjipiti.
