nasemadodaneni ami onke , ngokuba uJehova ungiphe amadoda na amaningi, ukhethe uSo lomoni indodana yami ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso kaJehova kwa-Israyeli.

Susa kimi indlela yamanga, ungiphe ngomusa umthetho wakho.

Kodwa yaphendula, yathi kuyise: Bheka, iminyaka engaka ngikukhonzile ; angizange ngeqe umyalo wakho , kepha mina awuzange ungiphe nazinyane lembuzi ukuba ngijabule nabahlobo bami,

Yakhawuleza yangena masinyane enkosini , yacela yathi: Ngithanda ukuba ungiphe khona manje ngoqwembe ikhanda likaJohane uMbhapathizi.

U-Esawu wathi kuJakobe : Ake ungiphe ukuba ngidle kokubomvu , kulokho okubomvu, ngokuba sengidiniwe, ngalokho igama lakhe lathiwa u-Edomi.

Ngesikhathi sokuvuna ukolweni uRubeni waya wafumana amamandragora endle, wawayisa kunina uL eya. URaheli wayesethi kuLeya : Ake ungiphe amamandragora endodana yakho.

Wayesethi uLeya: UNkulunkulu ungiphe isipho esihle ; manje umyeni wami useyakuhlala kimi , ngokuba ngimzalele amadodana ayisithupha , waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uZebuloni.
