Nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, naphezu kwezinyoni zezulu, nazo zonke izilwane ezinwabuzela emhlabeni.” UNkulunkulu wathi: “Bhekani, ngininika izinhlobo zonke zezitshalo ezithela imbewu ezimila emhlabeni wonke, nezihlahla ezithela izithelo ezinembewu ukuba nikudle. Kepha zonke izilwane zasendle, nazo zonke izinyoni emkhathini, nakho konke okuhuquzelayo emhlabeni, nakho konke okunomphefumulo, ngikunike konke okuluhlaza okumilayo ukuba kukudle.” Kwaba njalo.
