መጽሐፈ ኩፋሌ 25:3
አሁንም ልጄ ሆይ ቃሌን ስማ ፈቃዴንም አድርግ፤ ከዚህ መሬት ሴቶች አታግባ ነገር ግን ከአባቴ ቤትና ከአባቴ ዘመድ ውስጥ አግባ፤ ከአባቴ ቤት አንዲትን ሴት ውሰድ። እግዚአብሔር ልዑል ይባርክህ፤ ቤተሰብህ ቤተ ጽድቅ ይሁን፣ ዘርህም ቅዱስ ይሁን።

Now, my son, listen to me. Do as your mother wishes. Do not marry any of the women of this land but (someone) from my father's house and from my father's clan. Marry someone from my father's house. The most high God will bless you; your family will become a righteous family and your descendants (will be) holy'.
