Gene Ndebele 21:19  UNkulunkulu wasevula amehlo akhe, njalo wabona umthombo wamanzi; wahamba, wagcwalisa isigxingi ngamanzi, wamnathisa umfana.
Gene Ndebele 21:20  Njalo uNkulunkulu waba lomfana, wakhula, wahlala enkangala, waba ngumtshoki.
Gene Ndebele 21:21  Wahlala enkangala iParani; unina wasemthathela umfazi elizweni leGibhithe.
Gene Ndebele 21:22  Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uAbhimeleki loFikoli, induna yebutho yakhe, wakhuluma kuAbrahama wathi: UNkulunkulu ulawe kukho konke okwenzayo.
Gene Ndebele 21:23  Ngakho-ke funga kimi lapha ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungikhohlisa mina kumbe indodana yami kumbe izizukulwana zami; njengomusa engikwenzele wona, yenza kimi, lelizweni ohlala kilo njengowemzini.

Gene Ndebele 21:26  UAbhimeleki wasesithi: Angazi owenze le into; njalo lawe kawungitshelanga, futhi lami kangizwanga ngakho, ngaphandle kwalamuhla.
Gene Ndebele 21:27  UAbrahama wasethatha izimvu lenkomo, wazinika uAbhimeleki; njalo bobabili benza isivumelwano.
Gene Ndebele 21:28  UAbrahama wabeka amawundlukazi omhlambi ayisikhombisa wodwa.
Gene Ndebele 21:29  UAbhimeleki wasesithi kuAbrahama: Ayini lapha lamawundlukazi ayisikhombisa owabeke wodwa?
Gene Ndebele 21:30  Wasesithi: Ngoba uzakwemukela esandleni sami amawundlukazi ayisikhombisa, ukuze abe yibufakazi kimi bokuthi lumthombo ngiwugebhile.
Gene Ndebele 21:31  Ngakho wabiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiBherishebha, ngoba lapho bafunga bobabili.
