Kwakali lwiindano kuli bamwi mbuli Aroni (123), Musa (120) alimwi a Joshua (110). (Myeelwe 33:39; Deuteronomo 34:7; Joshua 14:6, 10, 11; 24:29) Pele kujatikizya zyalani litasyomeki lyakazwa ku Egepita lyabaabo bakalililembesyede kutalikila kulibaabo ibakajisi myaka yakuzyalwa iisika ku 20 kuyaambele, bakafwa kabajisi myaka iili 40.

(Matayo 24:45-47; 1 Ba-Korinto 2:10; 2 Timoteo 3:16, 17) Ikuba bantu basongo kutupa kuti ‘tuyandaule Bwami bwa Leza kusaanguna’ akwaabelesya mazubeesu munzila iikonzya kuleta bulemu kuli Jehova alimwi akupa kuti moyo wakwe ukkomane.
