¹⁵ nokuti zvirokwazvo, ndakabiwa kunyika yavaHebheru; napano handina kuita chinhu chakafanira kuti vandiise mugomba iri.”

¹⁶ Zvino mukuru wavabiki akati aona kuti dudziro yakanaka, akati kuna Josefa, “Neniwo ndakanga ndiri pakurota kwangu, ndikaona tswanda nhatu dzechingwa chichena dzakanga dziri pamusoro wangu;

¹⁷ mutswanda yapamusoro makanga mune zvokudya zvamarudzi ose zvakabikwa zvaFarao; shiri dzikazvidya mutswanda yaiva pamusoro wangu.”

¹⁸ Ipapo Josefa akapindura, akati, “Kududzirwa kwadzo ndiko: Tswanda nhatu mazuva matatu;

¹⁹ mazuva matatu agere kupera, Farao achasimudza musoro wako akaubvisa pamusoro pako, akusungirire pamuti; shiri dzichadya nyama yako dzichiibvisa kwauri.”
