ʻOku poupouʻi ʻe he kau keli fakatotoló ʻa e lēkooti ʻa e Tohi Tapú?

Naʻe pehē ʻi ha kupu naʻe pulusi ʻi he Biblical Archaeology Review ko e ʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻe “toko 50 nai” naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he Ngaahi Konga Tohi Tapu Faka-Hepeluú ʻoku lava ke fakamoʻoniʻi ʻi he taimí ni ʻe he ngaahi fekumi ʻa e kau keli fakatotoló.

Naʻe puli fakakū ʻa e fanga laioné mei he ngaahi fonua ʻo e Tohi Tapú?

Neongo ʻoku ʻikai ha fanga laione ʻi he vaotā ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻi he ʻahó ni, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e fakamatala Fakatohitapu ʻe 150 nai fekauʻaki mo e fanga manu ko ení ʻo fakahaaʻi naʻe anga-maheni ia ki he kau hiki Tohi Tapú.

Ko e fakatataá, naʻe fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sāmisoni, Tēvita mo Penaia ʻi heʻenau tāmateʻi ʻa e fanga laioné. (Fakamaau 14:5, 6; 1 Sāmiuela 17:34, 35; 2 Sāmiuela 23:20) Naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehe ʻe he fanga laioné.—1 Tuʻi 13:24; 2 Tuʻi 17:25.
