Saka vanachiremba vakazora Israeri mishonga. ³Pakatora mazuva makumi mana, ndiyo nguva yaiwanzotorwa yokuzora mishonga; vaIjipiti vakamuchema kwemazuva makumi manomwe.

Vana vavo chete, nemapoka avo amakwai nemombe, ndizvo zvakasara munyika yeGosheni. ⁹Ngoro navatasvi vamabhiza vakakwirawo naye. Rakanga riri boka guru kwazvo. ¹⁰Vakasvika paburiro reAtadhi, mhiri kweJorodhani, vakachema ipapo nokuchema kukuru kunorema kwazvo; Josefa akaita mazuva manomwe okuchema baba vake. ¹¹Vagari venyika, vaKanani, vakati vaona kuchema paburiro reAtadhi, vakati, “Uku kuchema kunorwadza kwevaIjipiti.” Naizvozvo nzvimbo iyo yakatumidzwa kuti Abheri-mizraimi; iri mhiri kweJorodhani. ^a a v11 Abheri-mizraimi zvinoreva kuti “kuchema kweIjipiti” — vaKanani vakatumidza nzvimbo iyi nokuda kwokuchema kukuru kwavakaona ipapo. ¹²Vanakomana vake vakavaitira sezvavakanga vavarayira. ¹³Vanakomana vake vakavatakura vachienda kunyika yeKanani, vakavaviga mubako romunda weMakapera, uyo Abhurahama waakatenga kunaEfroni muHiti kuti rive nzvimbo yokuviga, rakatarisana neMamure. ¹⁴Shure kokuviga baba vake, Josefa akadzokera kuIjipiti nehama dzake, navose vakanga vakwira naye kundoviga baba vake.
