Nxa u -Abrama esezwile ukuthi umzalwane wakhe uLoti uthunjiwe , wabutha izinceku z akhe ezifundisiweyo ebezizelwe endlini yakhe , ezingamakhulu amathathu neshumi nesishiyagalombili , wabaxosha kwaze kwaba kwaDani.

Wabuyisa yonke impahla, wambuyisa noLoti umzalwane wakhe , nempahla yakhe, nabesifazane, nabantu. O-Abrama noMelkisedeki

Konke okuqondene nami uyakunazi sa khona uThikhiku , umzalwane othandekayo nesikhonzi esikholekileyo oyinceku kanye nami eNkosini,
