1409. Ukuthi izenzeko zomlando njengoba zichaziwe ziyafanekisa, kodwa onke amagama achazayo amamuthe incazelo kamoya kubasobala ngosekuphawuliwe kwabuye kwakhonjiswa malungana nezifanekiso nangezinto ezimumethe incazelo kamoya ezinombolweni 665, 920, 1361 Kodwa njengoba izifanekiso ziqala lapha, ilungile enye incazelo efuphi ngalokhu. ISonto laseMandulondulo, elaliyiSonto lezulu lamazulu, lalithatha zonke izinto zemvelo, zomhlaba, nezomzimba, okwakuvele kuyizinto ezazaziwa ngesu lezinzwa zabantu balo, njengezinto ezingelutho olunye ngaphandle kwezinto ezifileyo. Kodwa ngesizathu sokuthi zonke izinto emhlabeni ziveza umqondo othile wombuso weNkosi, nakanjalo ziveza umqondo othile wezinto zezulu lamazulu nezezulu likamoya, ngakhoke abantu baleloSonto babengacabangi ngalezozinto ababezibona phambi kwabo noma bezazi ngesu lezinzwa, kepha babecabanga ngezinto zezulu lamazulu nangezinto zezulu likamoya. Empeleni babengacabangi ngokusukela kulezozinto kepha babecabanga ngesu lazo. Ngalendlela izinto ezazifile kubo zazivuka ziphile.

[2] Lezozinto ezazigodle noma zimumethe incazelo kamoya zaziqoqwe yizizukulwane zabantu baleloSonto ezindebeni zabo mathupha, maqede izizukulwane zaguqula lezozinto zaba yizimfundiso ezaba yiZwi leSonto laseMandulo ngemuva kukaZamcolo. Lezizimfundiso eSontweni laseMandulo kwakuyizinto ezimumethe incazelo kamoya, ngokuba ngazo bafunda izinto zangaphakathi, nangokusukela kuzo babecabanga ngezinto zikamoya nangezinto zezulu lamazulu. Kepha lapho lezizimfundiso seziqala ukushabalala, nalapho abantu beSonto laseMandulo bengasazazi izinto zangaphakathi ezifundiswayo, baqala ukuthatha zona lezizinto zemvelo nezomhlaba ezinencazelo kamoya njengezinto ezingcwele, bazikhonza, bengasenawo nomncane umcabango wokuthi ziyafanekisa, lezozinto zemvelo nomhlaba zaqala ukuba yizifanekiso. Ngalokhu kwavumbuka iSonto elifanekisayo elaqala ngoAbrama nangemuva kwakhe lasungulwa ezizukulwaneni zikaJakobe. Ngokusukela kulokhu, makwaziwe ukuthi izifanekiso zasuka zavumbuka ezintweni ezazimumethe incazelo kamoya eSontweni laseMandulo, nokuthi lezozinto ezazimumethe incazelo kamoya zazisuka emiqondweni yezulu lamazulu yeSonto laseMandulondulo.

[3] Ukuthi izifanekiso zinjani kubasobala ngezingxenye zeZwi eziwumlando, lapho zonke izenzo zalabokhokho, okungukuthi, izenzo zikaAbrama, zikaIsaka, nezikaJakobe, nakamuva zikaMose, zabAhluleli, nezamakhosi akwaJuda nawakwaIsrayeli, zingelutho olunye ngaphandle kwezifanekiso. Nanjengoba sekuke kwaphawulwa ngenhla, eZwini ngo “Abrama” kufanekiswa iNkosi, nangoba ufanekisa iNkosi, ngakho-ke ufanekisa umuntu wezulu lamazulu. No “Isaka” ufanekisa iNkosi, nangalokho ufanekisa umuntu kamoya, kanti no “Jakobe” ufanekisa iNkosi, nangalokho ufanekisa umuntu wemvelo ohambisana noma ofanelene nomuntu kamoya.

[4] Kodwa ubunjalo bezifanekiso buwukuba isimilo somuntu ofanekisayo singakhankanywa noma singabhekwa, kubhekwe kuphela lokho akufanekisayo. Ngokuba onke amakhosi akwaJuda nakwaIsrayeli, noma ngabe isimilo sawo sasinjani, ayefanekisa uBukhosi beNkosi, nabobonke abaphristi, noma ngabe babenhloboni yabantu, babefanekisa uBuphristi baYo. Kanjalo abantu ababi nabantu abalungileyo babekwazi ukufanekisa iNkosi, nezinto zezulu lamazulu nezezulu likamoya zombuso waYo, ngokuba, njengoba sekuphawuliwe kwabuye kwakhonjiswa, izifanekiso zazingahlanganise lutho noma zahluke geqe kumuntu ofanekisayo. Ngakho-ke yonke imilando eseZwini iyafanekisa, nanjengoba lokhu kuyiqiniso, kuyalandela ukuthi amagama aseZwini ayaqhamisa noma amumethe incazelo kamoya, okungukuthi, asho okwahlukile engqondweni engaphakathi kokushiwo engqondweni yemvelo noma engaphandle.

Genesis 12

Study

   

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
