5-7. Yiluphi uhlupho olwaba khona ama-Israyeli esanda kusuka eGibhithe njalo uMosi waluphatha njani udaba lolu?

⁵ Ama-Israyeli athi engakabi lenyanga ezimbili esukile eGibhithe njalo engakafiki laseNtabeni iSinayi, kwavuka inkalakatha yendaba. Abantu batshinga kwaba luthuli bekhonona ngokuswelakala kwamanzi. Yatshisa indaba uMosi waze wakhala kuJehova wathi: “Kambe ngithini ngalababantu? Sebezimisele ukuthi bangikhande ngamatshe.” (Eks. 17:4) UJehova wanika uMosi iziqondiso ezicacileyo. Wamtshela ukuthi athathe intonga yakhe aye eHorebi afike atshaye idwala njalo lizabakhuphela amanzi. IBhayibhili lisitshela ukuthi, “uMosi wenza lokho abadala bako-Israyeli bekhangele.” Abako-Israyeli banatha amanzi bakholisa njalo uhlupho lolo lwahle lwaphela.—Eks. 17:5, 6.

11. Ukutshaya ilitshe okwenziwa nguMosi kungabe kwenza ama-Israyeli acabangani?

¹¹ Kulesinye isizatho esingabe senza uJehova wamzondela uMosi. EMeribha yokuqala lapho okwavuka khona indaba yamanzi kulamadwala. Ngakho okwenziwa nguMosi endaweni le kwakuyisimanga sibili ngoba ungaze ulitshaye njani idwala akwenzakali ukuthi liphume amanzi. Ikanti endaweni yesibili lapho okwavuka khona indaba yamanzi akulamadwala aqinileyo kodwa kulomhlobo wamatshe abuthakathaka okuthiwa ngamachoba. Ichoba liyamunya amanzi futhi izikhathi ezinengi ungagebha endaweni elichoba uyawathola amanzi. Isenzo sikaMosi sokutshaya ilitshe kulokuthi akhulume lalo singabe senza ama-Israyeli afikelwa ngumcabango bani? Kambe singabe senza acabanga ukuthi amanzi kawaphumanga ngesimangaliso kodwa aphume ngendlela engokwemvelo?b Kasingeke sitsho ukuthi kwahamba njani sibisibili.
