Zvino Bhiriha akava nemimba, akaberekera Jakobho mwanakomana. Rakeri akati, “Mwari akandiruramisira, akandipa mwanakomana”; naizvozvo akamutumidza zita rinonzi Dhani.

Zvino Mwari akanzwa Rea, akava nemimba, akaberekera Jakobho mwanakomana wechishanu. Rea akati, “Mwari akandipa mubayiro wangu, nokuti ndakapa murandakadzi wangu murume wangu;” akamutumidza zita rinonzi Isakari. Rea akava nemimbazve, akaberekera Jakobho mwanakomana wechitanhatu.

Pashure akazobereka mwanasikana, akamutumidza zita rinonzi Dhina. Zvino Mwari akarangarirawo Rakeri, Mwari akamunzwa, akazarura chizvaro chake. Iye akava nemimba, akabereka mwanakomana; akati, “Mwari akabvisa kuzvidzwa kwangu;” akamutumidza zita rinonzi Josefa, achiti, Jehovha ngaandiwedzere mumwe mwanakomana.” Zvino Rakeri akati abereka Josefa, Jakobho akati kuna Rabhani, “Ndiregei, ndiende kumusha kwangu, nokunyika yangu. Ndipei vakadzi vangu navana vangu, vandakakubatirai, ndiende hangu, nokuti imi munoziva kubata basa kwangu kwandakakubatirai nako.” Rabhani akati, “Zvino kana ndawana nyasha pamberi pako, gara hako, nokuti ndakaona kuti Jehovha akandiropafadza nokuda kwako.” Akati, “Ndiudze mubayiro wako, ndigokupa iwo.” Iye akati, “Imi munoziva mumene sezvandakakubatirai, uye kugara kwezvipfuwo zvenyu kwandiri. Nokuti zvamaiva nazvo, ndisati ndasvika, zvanga zviri zvishoma, zvikazowanda, zvikava zvizhinji; Jehovha akakuropafadzai pose pandakatsika; zvino ndichabatira imba yangu riniko?” Iye akati, “Ndokupeiko?” Jakobho akati, “Musandipa chinhu; kana mukandiitira chinhu ichi, ndichafudzazve zvipfuwo zvenyu nokuzvichengeta. Ndichafamba pakati pezvipfuwo zvenyu zvose nhasi, ndichiraura pakati pazvo zvose zvinamavara nezvinamakwapa, namatema pakati pamakwai, nedzinamavara nedzinamakwapa pakati pembudzi; ndizvozvo zvichava mubayiro wangu. Nenzira iyi kururama kwangu kuchandipupurira pashure, kana muchizouya kuona mubayiro wangu uri pamberi penyu; dzose dzisina mavara nedzisina makwapa pakati pembudzi, namatema pakati pamakwai, izvozvo kana zvikawanikwa kwandiri mungati zvabiwa neni.” Rabhani akati, “Ndizvo hazvo, ngazvive sezvawataura.” Nomusi iwoyo akaraura nhongo dzembudzi dzakanga dzine mitsetse, nedzina makwapa, nenhunzvi dzose dzembudzi dzakanga dzina mavara nedzina makwapa, dzose dzakanga dzinoruvara ruchena, napakati pamakwai ose akanga anoruvara rutema, akazvipa vana vake; akaisa runhambo rwamazuva matatu pakati pake naJakobho; Jakobho akafudza zvipfuwo zvaRabhani zvakanga zvasara. Zvino Jakobho akatora matanda omusitorakisi, noomuamanda, noomupurani, akasvuura mitaro michena paari, kuti kuchena kuonekwe kwakanga kuri maari; akaisa matanda aakanga asvuura pamberi pezvipfuwo muzvinwiro, paiuya zvipfuwo zvichinwa; zvikatora zamu kana zvouya kunwa. Zvipfuwo zvikatora zamu pamberi pamatanda, zvipfuwo zvikabereka vana vane mitsetse, navanamavara, navanamakwapa. Zvino Jakobho akaraura makwayana, akataridza zvipfuwo kune zvaiva nemitsetse, nezvitema pakati pezvipfuwo zvaRabhani; akaisa mapoka ake ari oga; haana kuzviisa kuzvipfuwo zvaRabhani. Zvino nguva imwe neimwe kana zvaiva nesimba pazvipfuwo zvichitora zamu, Jakobho akaisa matanda pamberi pezvipfuwo muzvinwiro, kuti zvitore zamu pakati pamatanda; asi kana zvipfuwo zvichishaiwa simba haana kuaisa; naizvozvo zvakanga zvisina simba zvakanga zviri zvaRabhani, asi zvaiva nesimba zvakanga zviri zvaJakobho. Murume uyu akava mukuru kwazvo, akava nezvipfuwo zvizhinji, navaranda, navarandakadzi, namakamera, namadhongi.
