Le ncwadi, uGenesisi, okungukuthi „iNdabuko/isiSusa“, ixoxa ngendabuko ngokuphindwé kabili – indabuko yomhlaba, indabuko yesizwe sakwaIzrayeli. Kokubili – umhlaba nesizwe – kuvela kumdali, kungumphumela womsebenzi wezandla zakhe uMdali, oPhezukonke.

Phakathi kwengxoxo ngokudalwa komhlaba nengxoxo ngokudabuka kwesizwe sakwaIzrayeli kunomlando ozama ukucacisa ukuthi uMvelingqangi yini eyamkhuthaza washisekela ukuphinda abe ngumdali, aphembe isizwe – asibabale-nje phakathi kwazo zonke ezinye ezikhona, aziqokele sona: Kwathi-nje kuqedwa ukudalwa komhlaba nendalo nesintu, isintu samfulathela umdali, sazihlangula kuye, samphika, sazinhlanhlathela ngokwaso. Umlando wesintu ngokwengxoxo yezenkolo ngumlando wobudlova, nobuqili nenkani nokwedelela.

Ngokuzibizela uAbhrahamu, uSmakade uveza ithuba lokuthatha unyawo olusha. Lo mlisa ogcina esenguyise wesizwe, kuboniswa ngaye ukuthi uMdali wayehloseni ngokudala isintu: Wayehlosé ukuthi isintu simazise oPhezukonke njengomdali waso, yilowo nalowo amthande omunye nomunye njengoba ezithanda yena luqobo. Ukufakazisa ukuthi ukuphenjwa kwesizwe kufezwa nguMdali, oAbhrahamu noSara bathola umntwana okwakungasalindelekile njengoba base bezigugele-nje.
