UGali indodana ka-Ebedi wathi: Ngubani u-Abimeleki, ngubani uShekemi, ukuba simkhonze, na? Akasiyo indodana kaJerubali, noZebule yinduna yakhe na? Khonzani abantu bakaHamori uyise kaShekemi. Thina siyakumkhonzelani yena na?

UShekemi wayesethi kuyise nakubanewabo : Ake ngifumane umusa emehlweni enu; lokho eniyakukusho kimi, ngiyakuninika khona.

UShekemi indodana kaHamori umHivi, inkosi yezwe, wambona, wamthatha, walala naye, wamona.

UShekemi wakhuluma kuyise uHamori , wathi: Ngithathele le ntombazana , ibe ngumkami.

UHamori wakhuluma nabo , wathi: Inhliziyo yendodana yami uShekemi iyabambelela endodakazini yenu; ake nimuphe yona, ibe ngumkakhe.
