UGenesise 15:1-6

Emva kwalokho kwafika izwi likaJehova ku-Abrama ngombono, lithi: “Ungesabi, Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho; umvuzo wakho uyakuba mkhulu kakhulu.” Kepha u-Abrama wathi: “Nkosi Jehova, uyakungiphani na? Ngihamba ngingenamntwana; indlalifa yendlu yami ingu-Eliyezeri waseDamaseku.” U-Abrama wathi futhi: “Bheka, awunginikanga nzalo; bheka, inceku yendlu yami iyakuba yindlalifa yami.” Bheka, izwi likaJehova leza kuye, lathi: “Lona akayikudla ifa lakho, kepha oyakuphuma ezibilinini zakho uyakudla ifa lakho.” Wamphumisela ngaphandle, wathi: “Bheka ngasezulwini, ubale izinkanyezi, uma ungazibala.” Wathi kuye: “Kuyakuba njalo inzalo yakho.” Wakholwa nguJehova; wambalela lokho kwaba ngukulunga.
