18 USimakade uNkulunkulu wathi: “Akukuhle ukuba umuntu ahlale yedwa. Ngizomenzela umsizi omfaneleyo.”
19 USimakade uNkulunkulu wathatha umhlabathi wabumba zonke izilwane zasendle, nazo zonke izinyoni zezulu. Waziletha kumuntu ukuze abone ukuthi uzoziqamba athini; lawo magama umuntu aziqamba ngawo zonke izilwane eziphilayo, kwaba ngamagama azo. 20 Umuntu waziqamba ngamagama zonke izilwane ezifuyiweyo, izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zasendle. Kepha asikho phakathi kwalezo zilwane esatholakala sifanele ukuba ngumsizi wakhe.

23 Umuntu wathi:
“Manje lo useyithambo
lamathambo ami
nenyama yenyama yami.
Lona uzobizwa ngokuthi ngumfazi
ngoba uthathwe endodeni.”
24 Ngakho-ke indoda iyoshiya uyise nonina inamathele kumkayo babe nyamanye.
25 Indoda nomfazi babehamba ze, futhi bengenamahloni.
