Indaba ye-Easter yamaJuda

Da minadeln -

Ekupheleni kwencwadi yebhayibheli kaGenesise, uJosefa uletha umndeni wakhe eGibhithe. Eminyakeni eyikhulu eyalandelayo, inzalo yomndeni kaJoseph (amaJuda) yanda kakhulu lapho kuthi lapho kubuswa inkosi entsha, isaba okungenzeka uma amaJuda enquma ukuvukela abaseGibhithe. Unquma ukuthi indlela engcono yokugwema lesi simo ukubenza izigqila (Eksodusi 1). Ngokwesiko, lamaJuda ayizigqila angokhokho bamaJuda anamuhla.

Naphezu komzamo kaFaro wokunqoba amaJuda, ayaqhubeka nokuba nezingane eziningi. Njengoba inani labo likhula, uFaro uhlongoza elinye icebo: uzothumela amasosha ukuba abulale zonke izingane zesilisa ezizalwa omama abangamaJuda. Yilapho indaba kaMose iqala khona.

UMose
Ukusindisa uMose enhlekeleleni embi uFaro ayibekile, umama wakhe kanye nodadewabo bamfaka kubhasikidi wamphonsa emfuleni. Ithemba labo ukuthi ubhasikidi uzontanta ngokuphepha futhi noma ngubani othola ingane uzoyithatha njengeyakhe. Udadewabo, uMiriam, umlandela njengoba ubhasikidi wehla. Ekugcineni, akutholakali lutho ngaphandle kwendodakazi kaFaro. Usindisa uMose amkhulise abe ngowakhe, waze wakhula umntwana ongumJuda njengenkosana yaseGibhithe.

Lapho uMose ekhula, ubulala unogada waseGibhithe lapho embona eshaya inceku engumJuda. UMose ubalekela impilo yakhe, abheke enkangala. Ogwadule, ujoyina umndeni kaJetro, umpristi wakwaMidiyani, eshada nendodakazi kaJetro futhi abe nezingane nayo. Yiba ngumalusi womhlambi kaJetro futhi ngolunye usuku ngenkathi unakekela izimvu, uMose uhlangana noNkulunkulu ehlane. Izwi likaNkulunkulu limbiza esihlahleni esivuthayo futhi uMose uphendula athi: "Hineini!" ("Ngilapha!" NgesiHeberu.)

Unkulunkulu utshela uMose ukuthi wakhethwa ukukhulula amaJuda ebugqilini baseGibhithe. UMose akaqinisekile ukuthi angawenza lo myalo. Kepha uNkulunkulu uqinisekisa uMose ukuthi uzoba nosizo ngohlobo lomsizi kaNkulunkulu nomfowabo u-Aaron.

Izinhlupho eziyi-10
Kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho, uMose ubuyela eGibhithe futhi ucela uFaro ukuthi akhulule amaJuda ebugqilini. UFaro uyenqaba, ngenxa yalokho, uNkulunkulu uthumela izinhlupho eziyishumi eGibhithe:

  1. Igazi - Amanzi aseGibhithe aguqulwa aba yigazi. Zonke izinhlanzi ziyafa namanzi abe engajwayelekile.
  2. Amasele: izindimbane zamasele zigcwele izwe laseGibhithe.
  3. Izinsensane noma izintwala - Inqwaba yezinsensane noma izintwala zihlasela izindlu zaseGibhithe zihlukumeze abantu baseGibhithe.
  4. Izilwane zasendle - Izilwane zasendle zihlasela amakhaya kanye namazwe aseGibhithe, zidala ukubhujiswa futhi kubange usizi.
  5. Isifo sofuba - Izinkomo zaseGibhithe zithintekile ngalesi sifo.
  6. Ama-Bubbles - Abantu baseGibhithe bahlushwa ama-bubble abuhlungu amboza imizimba yabo.
  7. Isichotho - Isimo sezulu esibi sibhubhisa izilimo zaseGibhithe futhi sizishaye.
  8. Isikhonyane: Isinambuzane eGibhithe sidla izitshalo ezisele nokudla.
  9. Ubumnyama - Ubumnyama buhlanganisa izwe laseGibhithe izinsuku ezintathu.
  10. Ukufa kwamazibulo - Izibulo lomndeni ngamunye waseGibhithe liyabulawa. Ngisho namazibulo ezilwane zaseGibhithe ayafa.

Inhlupho yeshumi iyindawo lapho umkhosi wamaJuda wePhasika lamaJuda uthatha igama lawo ngoba, ngenkathi ingelosi yokufa ivakashela eGibhithe, "yadlula" izindlu zamaJuda, ezazimakwe negazi lewundlu emihlathini yejazi umnyango.

Ukuphuma
Ngemuva kwenhlupho yeshumi, uFaro unikela futhi ukhulula amaJuda. Basilungiselela ngokushesha isinkwa sabo, ngaphandle kokuma ngisho nokuvumela inhlama inyuke, yingakho amaJuda edla uMatza (isinkwa esingenamvubelo) ngesikhathi sePhasika.

Ngemuva nje kokushiya amakhaya abo, lo pharaoh ushintsha umqondo wakhe futhi athumele amasosha ukuba alandele amaJuda, kodwa lapho izigqila zangaphambili zifika eLwandle lweCanes, amanzi ahlukana ukuze akwazi ukubaleka. Lapho amasosha ezama ukubalandela, amanzi ewahlela. Ngokwenganekwane yamaJuda, lapho izingelosi ziqala ukujabula ngenkathi amaJuda ebaleka namasosha egcwala, uNkulunkulu wawakhuza, ethi: "Izidalwa zami ziyaminza futhi nina nicula izingoma!" Le midrash (umlando worabi) usifundisa ukuthi akufanele sijabule ngokuhlupheka kwezitha zethu. (I-Telushkin, uJoseph. "Literacy yamaJuda." Iphepha 35-36).

Lapho sebewelile emanzini, amaJuda aqala ingxenye elandelayo yohambo lwawo njengoba efuna iZwe Lesithembiso. Indaba yePhasika yamaJuda isitshela ukuthi amaJuda ayithola kanjani inkululeko yawo futhi aba okhokho babantu abangamaJuda.
