KuJeremiya 31:15 siyafundza: “Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze, utsi: ‘Kuvakala livi lekukhala eRama, yebo, livi lekulila nekukhala lokukhulu, Rakheli akhalela bantfwabakhe angasavumi nekudvudvutwa, ngobe bantfwabakhe bebangasekho.’”

Kunobe ngukuphi, emavi aJeremiya lamayelana nekukhala kwaRakheli akhalela emadvodzana akhe abesiphrofetho saloko lokwenteka emashumini eminyaka leyalandzela ngesikhatsi kuphila kwaJesu kusengotini. INkhosi Herodi yakhipha umyalo wekutsi kubulawe bonkhe bafana labangephansi kweminyaka lemibili budzala labaseBhetlehema, lebeyiseningizimu yeJerusalema. Ngako-ke, lamadvodzana abengasekho; abesafile. Cabanga ngekukhala lokubuhlungu kwalabomake labashonelwa ngemadvodzana abo! Umsindvo wekukhala kwabo bekungatsi uvakala naseRama, lesenyakatfo neJerusalema.​—Mat. 2:16-18.

Ngako-ke, ngesikhatsi saJeremiya nangesikhatsi saJesu, kukhala kwaRakheli akhalela emadvodzana akhe bekuyindlela lekahle yekukhombisa lusizi bomake bemaJuda labebanalo ngekubulawa kwebantfwana babo. Kuliciniso kutsi labo labafa futsi baya “eveni lesitsa” bangaphindze baphile ngesikhatsi kuvuswa labafile.​—Jer. 31:16; 1 Khor. 15:26.
