8 Akyiri yi, Debora+ a na ɔhwɛ Rebeka no wui, na wosiee no odum kɛse bi ase wɔ Betel anaafo. Enti ɔtoo hɔ din Alon-Bakut.*
9 Onyankopɔn san yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Yakob bere a ofi Padan-Aram reba no, na ohyiraa no.
10 Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Wo din de Yakob.+ Nanso wɔremfrɛ wo Yakob bio, na mmom wɔbɛfrɛ wo Israel.” Enti ofii ase frɛɛ no Israel.+
11 Afei Onyankopɔn san ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Mene ade nyinaa so Tumfo Nyankopɔn.+ Monwo na monnɔɔso.+ Aman ne aman asafodɔm ne ahemfo befi wo mu aba.*+
12 Na asaase a mede ama Abraham ne Isak no, mede bɛma wo ne w’asefo*+ a wobedi w’akyi aba no.”
13 Ɛno akyi no, Onyankopɔn fii baabi a ɔne no kasae no kɔɔ soro.

21 Ɛno akyi no, Israel fii hɔ kosii ne ntamadan wɔ Eder aban no akyi baabi.
