Masenzeni izitini sizigagade ngokuzishisa.” Ngakho isitini saba itshe labo, kodwa ibitume laba udaka lwabo.+ 4 Base bethi: “Wozani! Masizakheleni umuzi kanye nombhoshongo onesiqongo esisemazulwini,+ sizenzele igama lodumo,+ funa sihlakazeke phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba.”+ 5 UJehova wabe esehla ukuze abone lo muzi nombhoshongo abantwana babantu ababewakhile.+ 6 Ngemva kwalokho uJehova wathi: “Bheka! Bayisizwe esisodwa futhi bonke banolimi olulodwa,+ futhi yilokhu asebeqala ukukwenza. Phela, manje akukho lutho abangacabanga ukulwenza abangenakulufinyelela.+ 7 Wozani! Masehle+ siphithanise+ ulimi lwabo ukuze bangaluzwa ulimi lomunye nomunye.”+ 8 Ngakho ukusuka lapho uJehova wabahlakazela phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba,+ kancane kancane bayeka ukuwakha lowo muzi.+ 9 Yingakho igama lawo kwathiwa yiBhabhele,+ ngenxa yokuthi uJehova wayeluphithanise khona ulimi lomhlaba wonke, futhi uJehova wabahlakaza+ basuka lapho baya kuwo wonke umhlaba. 10 Lona ngumlando kaShemi.+ UShemi wayeneminyaka eyikhulu ubudala lapho ezala u-Arpakishade+ eminyakeni emibili ngemva kukazamcolo. 11 Ngemva kokuzala u-Arpakishade, uShemi waphila iminyaka engamakhulu amahlanu.

Igama lomka-Abrama kwakunguSarayi,+ igama lomkaNahori kunguMilka,+ indodakazi kaHarana, uyise kaMilka noyise kaJiska. 30 Kodwa uSarayi wahlala eyinyumba;+ engenamntwana. 31 Ngemva kwalokho uThera wathatha u-Abrama indodana yakhe, noLoti umzukulu wakhe,+ indodana kaHarana, noSarayi+ umalokazana wakhe, umka-Abrama indodana yakhe, baphuma naye e-Uri lamaKhaledi baya ezweni laseKhanani.+ Ngemva kwesikhathi bafika eHarana+ bahlala khona. 32 Izinsuku zikaThera zaba yiminyaka engamakhulu amabili nanhlanu. Khona-ke uThera wafa eHarana.Genesise 11
