Baragenda; ubwoba buturutse kuri Data wa twese butera imijyi yabakikije, ku buryo nta wakurikiranye abahungu ba Yakobo. Yakobo agera i Luzi (ari yo Beteli) mu gihugu cya Kanāni, we n'abantu be bose. Aho ahubakira urutambiro, awita Eli-Beteli—inzu ya Data wa twese—kuko ari ho yiyeretse Yakobo igihe yahungaga mukuru we.

Igihugu nahaye Aburahamu na Izaki, nzagiha wowe; nzanagiha urubyaro rwawe nyuma yawe.”
