Lapho uJakobe esefikile eGibithe , oyihlo bakhala kuJehova , uJehova wathuma oMose no -Aroni abakhipha oyihlo eGibithe , babahlalisa kule ndawo.

U-Israyeli wayesefika eGibithe, uJakobe wagogobala ezweni likaHamu.

Ngokuba uJehova uzikhethele uJakobe , no-Israyeli ukuba abe yimfuyo yakhe.

Sengathi ukusindiswa kuka -Israyeli kungavela eSiyoni . Mhla uJehova ebuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabant u bakh e uJakobe uyakwethaba , u-Israyeli ajabule.

Sengathi kungavela u kusindiswa kuka -Israyeli eSiyoni. Kuyakuthi lapho uNkulunkulu eguqula ukuthunjwa kwabantu bakhe , uJakobe ethabe , u- Israyeli ajabule.

Esalandele izimvukazi ezenyisayo , yamthabatha ukuba abeluse abantu bayo uJakobe, nefa layo u-Israyeli.

Ngokuba sebemdlile uJakobe, umuzi wakhe sebewuchithile.

Jehova, wabusisa izwe lakho, wambuyisa uJakobe ekuthunjweni.

UJakobe, inceku kaNkulunkulu neyeNkosi uJesu Kristu , uyakhonza kuzo izizwe eziyishumi nambili ezihlakazekileyo. Ukuyala ngezilingo

Yanquma ngokufutheka kolaka lway o zonke izimpondo zakwa -Israyeli, yabuyisela emuva isandla sayo sokunene ebusweni bezitha , yashisa uJakobe ngomlilo wamalangabi odla nxazonke.

Wayesebaqhweba ngesandla ukuba bathule , wabalandisa ukuthi iNkosi imkhiphe kanjani etilongweni , wathi: Bikelani uJakobe nabazalwane lokhu . Wayesephuma, waya kwenye indawo.

Wabulala uJakobe umfowabo kaJohane ngenkemba.

Kepha sebethulile , uJakobe wathatha wathi : Madoda, bazalwane, ngilaleleni.

UJakobe esezwile ukuthi kukhona ukudla eGibithe , wathuma obaba ngokokuqala;

UJakobe wehlela eGibithe; wafa yena nawobaba.

Wayesemnika isivumelwano sokusoka; kanjalo-ke wazala u-Isaka, wamsoka ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili ; u-Isaka wazala uJakobe , uJakobe wazala okhokho abayishumi nambili.

Ngokukholwa uJakobe esezakufa wabusisa leyo naleyo yamadodana kaJosefa, wakhuleka encikile esihlokweni sodondolo lwakhe.

Kepha angibonanga omunye wabaphostoli , kuphela uJakobe umnawe weNkosi.

njengalokho kulotshiwe ukuthi : UJakobe ngamthanda , kepha u-Esawu ngamzonda.

Kanti wena umkhulu yini kunobaba uJakobe owasinika lo mthombo , waphuza kuwo, yena kanye namadodana akhe nemihlambi yakhe, na?

Khona wafika emzini waseSamariya ogama lawo yiSikhari, eduze nesiqinti uJakobe asinika uJosefa indodana yakhe.

Eseqhubekile ingcosana wabona uJakobe kaZebedewu noJohane umfowabo besemkhunjini, belungisa amanetha.

u-Eliyudi wazala u -Eleyazare, u-Eleyazare wazala uMathani , uMathani wazala uJakobe;

uJakobe wazala uJosefa , indoda kaMariya , azalwa nguye uJesu othiwa uKristu.

U-Abrahama wazala u -Isaka, u-Isaka wazala uJakobe , uJakobe wazala uJuda nabafowabo;

Esedlulela phambili wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili , uJakobe kaZebedewu, noJohane umfowabo, besemkhunjini kanye noZebedewu uyise , belungisa amanetha abo; wababiza.

Ngase ngithi: Nkosi Jehova, mawuyeke; uJakobe uyakuma kanjani, ngokuba mncane.

Ngokuba uJehov a uyakumhawukela uJakobe , abuye amkhethe u -Israyeli, ababeke ezweni lakubo ; nabafokazi bayakuzihlanganisa nabo , banamathele endlini kaJakobe.

Ngezinsuku ezizayo uJakobe uyakugxila , u-Israyeli akhahlele , aqhakaze, bagcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngezithelo.

Ngalokho ngendlu kaJakobe usho kanje uJehova owamhlenga u-Abrahama, uthi: UJakobe akasayikuba namahloni, nobuso bakhe abusayikuphaphatheka.

Ngubani owanikela uJakobe ukuba aphangwe , no-Israyeli kubo abaphangi, na? Angithi nguJehova , esonile kuye , nabangavumanga ukuhamba ngezindlela zakhe, nabangawulalelanga umthetho wakhe?

Ngidumazile izikhulu zendlu engcwele , ngimenzile uJakobe abe yisiqalekiso, no-Israyeli abe yisithuko.

Thokozani, mazulu, ngokuba uJehova ukwenzile, nijabule nina zindawo eziphansi zomhlaba , niqhumuke ngokuhlabelela nina zintaba , nawe hlathi nayo yonke imithi ekuwe , ngokuba uJehova umhlengile uJakobe , ngokuhlabelela wazidumisa ngo-Israyeli. UKoresi umalusi

Ngenxa yendluzula eyenziwa kumfowenu uJakobe , amahloni ayakukusibekela, unqunywe kuze kube phakade.

Ngokuba isabelo sikaJehova singabantu bakhe ; uJakobe uyisiqephu sefa lakhe.

Bafundisa uJakobe izahlulelo zakho , no-Israyeli umthetho wakho ; babeka impepho phambi kwamakhala akho , nomnikelo oshiswa wonke e -altare lakho.

Emva kwalokho kwaphuma umfowabo , isandla sakhe sibambelele esithendeni sika -Esawu; igama lakhe labizwa ngokuthi uJakobe ; u-Isaka wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.

Abafana bakhula; u-Esawu waba yiphisi , umuntu wasendle; uJakobe waba yibeka, ehlala ematendeni.

U-Isaka wamthanda u-Esawu, ngokuba wayedla inyama yenyamazane yakhe; uRebeka wamthanda uJakobe.

Kwathi uJakobe wapheka ukudla, kwafika u-Esawu evela endle, ediniwe.

Wayesethi uJakobe: Thengisa kimi namuhla ngefa lobuzibulo bakho.

UJakobe wathi: Funga kimi namuhla. Wayesefunga kuye, wathengisa ngefa lobuzibulo bakhe kuJakobe.

UJakobe wamupha u -Esawu isinkwa nokudla kwembumba ; wadla, waphuza, wavuka, wahamba; wadelela kanjalo u-Esawu ubuzibulo bakhe.

UJakobe wathi kuRebeka unina: Bheka, umnewethu ungumuntu oyinundu, mina ngiluqwatha.

URebeka wayesethatha izingubo ezinhle zika-Esawu indodana yakhe enkulu ezazikuye endlini, wamembathisa zona uJakobe indodana yakhe encane.

UJakobe wathi kuyise : Ngingu-Esawu izibulo lakho ; ngenze njengalokho ungitshelile; mawuvuke, uhlale, udle ukuba umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.

UJakobe waso ndela ku -Isaka uyise ; wamphatha, wathi: Izwi liyizwi likaJakobe, kepha izandla ziyizandla zika-Esawu.

Kwathi u -Isaka eseqede ukumbusisa uJakobe , uJakobe esand ukuphuma ebusweni buka -Isaka uyise , wafika u-Esawu umnewabo evela ekuzingeleni kwakhe.

Wathi: Aliqanjwanga kahle igama lakhe ngokuthi uJakobe na ? Ngokuba sekukabili engiqinela ; wathatha ubuzibulo bami ; bheka, manje usethathe isibusiso sami. Wathi: Mina, awungigodlelanga sibusiso na?

U-Esawu wayesemzonda uJakobe ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ambusise ngaso; u-Esawu wathi enhliziyweni yakhe : Izinsuku zokulilela ubaba sezisondele ; khona ngiyakumbulala umfowethu uJakobe.

URebeka watshelwa amazwi ka -Esawu indodana yakhe enkulu ; wathuma wambiza uJakobe indodana yakhe encane , wathi kuye: Bheka, umnewenu u- Esawu uyaziduduza ngawe ngokuthi uyakukubulala.

U-Isaka wambiz a uJakobe , wambusisa, wamyala, wathi kuye : Awuyikuthatha umfazi kuwo amadodakazi aseKhanani.

UJakobe wayesemuka eBeri Sheba, waya eHarana.

Wayesephaphama uJakobe ebuthongweni bakhe , wathi: Imbala uJehova ukule ndawo, mina-ke bengingakwazi.

UJakobe wavuka ekuseni , walithatha itshe abelibeke phansi kwekhanda lakhe, walimisa laba yinsika, wathela amafutha esihlokweni salo.

UJakobe wenza isithembiso , wathi: Uma uNkulunkulu eyakuba nami , angilondoloze kule ndlela engihamba ngayo , angiphe isinkwa sokudliwa nezingubo zokwembatha,

U-Isaka wayesemmukisa uJakobe , waya ePhadani Aramu kuye uLabani indodana kaBe tuweli umAramu , umfowabo kaRebeka unina kaJakobe no- Esawu.

UJakobe wamthanda uRaheli ; wathi: Ngizakukusebenzela iminyaka eyisikhombisa ngoRaheli indodakazi yakho encane.

UJakobe wayesesebenzela uRaheli iminyaka eyisikhombisa ; yayisemehlweni akhe njengezinsuku eziyingcosana nje ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe.

UJakobe wathi kuLabani : Nginike umkami , ngokuba izinsuku zami seziphelile, ngize ngingene kuye.

Ngosuku lwesithathu uLabani watshelwa ukuthi uJakobe ubalekile.

ULabani wayesemfica uJakobe. UJakobe wayemisile itende lakhe entabeni ; uLabani nabafowabo bamisa entabeni yakwaGileyadi.
