Iivesi zeBhayibhile ezithandwayo ezisuka UGenesise 7

Yabelana

Wayesethi uJehova kuNowa: “Ngena emkhunjini wena nendlu yakho yonke; ngoba ngikubonile ulungile phambi kobuso bami kulesisizukulwana.

Amanzi aba namandla phezu komhlaba izinsuku eziyikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu.

Ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha wokuphila kukaNowa, ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lweshumi nesikhombisa lwenyanga, ngalona lolo suku yonke imithombo kazamcolo omkhulu yagqashuka, namafasitele asezulwini avuleka.

Zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezazisemhlabeni zabhujiswa, abantu, nezinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu; futhi zabhujiswa emhlabeni, kwasala uNowa kuphela nalabo ababenaye emkhunjini.

Lana emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane.
