Yamthatha, yamyisa kunina ; wahlala emathangeni akhe kwaze kwaba semini, wafa.

Wamlalisa ubuthongo emathangeni akhe , wabiza umuntu , waphucula amagoda ayisikhombisa ekhanda lakhe ; waqala ukumhlupha, amandla akhe amuka kuye.

Inkatho yenzelwa emathangeni , kepha ukwahlulela kwayo kungokukaJehova.

Ubenzele namabhulukwe elineni ukuba kusitshekelwe inyama yobunqunu babo, aqale okhalweni, afike emathangeni;

Wathi: Nansi incekukazi yami uBiliha ; ngena kuye , ukuze azalele emathangeni ami, ngakheke nami ngaye.

UJosefa wawakhipha emathangeni akhe ; wakhothama, ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.

UJosefa wabona abantwana bakwa -Efrayimi besizuk ulwane sesithathu ; nabantwana bakwaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalelwa emathangeni kaJosefa.
