UGenesise 12:1-5

UJehova wathi ku-Abrama: “Suka ezweni lakini, nasezihlotsheni zakho, nasendlini kayihlo, uye ezweni engiyakukukhombisa lona. Ngiyakukwenza isizwe esikhulu, ngikubusise, ngenze igama lakho libe likhulu; futhi uzakuba yisibusiso. Ngiyakubusisa okubusisayo, ngiqalekise okuqalekisayo; futhi ziyobusiswa ngawe zonke izizukulwane zomhlaba. U-Abrama wayesesuka, njengalokho uJehova eshilo kuye; uLoti wahamba naye, u-Abrama wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu ekuphumeni kwakhe eHarana. U-Abrama wathatha uSarayi umkakhe, noLoti, indodana yomfowabo, nempahla yabo yonke ababeyiqoqile, nemiphefumulo ababeyifumene eHarana; basebesuka ukuya elizweni leKhanani; bafika ezweni laseKhanani.
