> “Bara afurtamaaf waggootaaf amantii dhabuun, guungumuu fi finciluun Israa’el durii biyya Kana’aan keessaa hambisan. Cubbuuleenuma kunis Israa’el ammayyaa gara Kana’aan samii seenuu akka tursiisan godhaniiru. Haala lamaan keessatti illee waadaan Waaqayyoo dogoggora hin qabne. Amantii dhabuun, addunyaa jaallachuu, of qulqulleessuu dhabuu, fi wal loluun saba Gooftaa ofiin jedhu gidduutti jiru, nu bara baay’ee addunyaa cubbuu fi gaddaa kana keessatti akka turre kan godhe isaanuma.”

> “Nuti akka Israa’elootaa fincila isaanii irraa kan ka’e waggoota baay’ee dabalataa addunyaa kana keessatti hafuun nu barbaachisuu danda’a; garuu sababa Kiristoosiif, sabni Isaa bu’aa karaa hojii isaanii dogoggoraa ta’e sana Waaqayyoon himachuun cubbuu irratti cubbuu dabaluu hin qaban.” Evangelism, 696.

Seenaa Israa’el durii dhuma irratti, akkuma jalqaba isaatti, adeemsi qormaataa tartiibaan guddachaa deemu tokko ture; innis yeroo Israa’el durii inni dhugaa Baaabilonitti booji’amee geeffametti xumurame. Akkasuma, xumura Israa’el ammayyaa isa hafuuraa irratti, isaanis adeemsa qormaataa tartiibaan guddachaa deemu tokko ni mudatu. Adeemsi sun yeroo Adveentistoonni Laa’odiiqeyaa seera Dilbataa irratti kufanitti xumurama. Akkuma Israa’el duriitti, Israa’el ammayyaas Baaabilon hafuuraatiin booji’amee ni fudhatama.

Sochiin Miilar 1798 keessatti raajii dursee jalqabee, 1863 keessatti immoo ifatti xumurame, sochii dhibba tokkoo fi afurtamii afur kuma kan 1989 keessatti jalqabee yeroo carraan qorannaa namaa cufamuu fi dhufaatii lammaffaa Kiristoositti xumuramu fakkeenyaan mul’isa. Xumura sochii Miilar fi dhufaatii sochii jabaa ergamaa sadaffaatti gidduutti, seenaa mana amantii Laa’odiiqee Adveentistii Guyyaa Torbaffaa seeraan galmaa’eetu jira.

> “Sinayii fi Qaadesh, daangaa biyya Kana’aan irratti argamu gidduu, imalli guyyaa kudha tokko qofa ture; duultoonni Israa’el yeroo duumessi sun dhuma irratti mallattoo gara fuulduraatti imaluuf kenne, abdii yeroo gabaabaa keessatti biyya gaarii sana seenuu isaanii fuuldura isaanii jiru waliin imala isaanii irra deebi’anii jalqaban. Yihowaan yeroo inni Gibxii keessaa isaan baasu dinqiiwwan hojjete ture; amma immoo isa akka Mootii isaanii ta’u fudhachuuf waliigaltee sirriitti seenanii, akka saba filatamaa Isa Hundaa Olii ta’aniis beekamanii erga jiranii, eebba akkamii hin eegganne laata?” Abbootii Amantii fi Raajota, 376.

Imalli isaanii gabaabaa taʼuu qabu ture waggaa afurtama taʼe; kunis amantii dhabuu fi ajajamuu diduu isaanii irraa kan kaʼe dha. Osoo isaan bilisummaa guddaa garbummaa keessaa baafamaniin irratti hundaaʼe amantii mulʼisanii taʼee, yeroo gabaabaa keessatti laga Yordaanos ceʼanii Biyya Abdachiifamte sana keessa seenan turan. Sana booda gufuun isaanii inni jalqabaa gufuu isa Iyyaasuun boodarra fuudhee tajaajile sanauma taʼa ture. Waggaa afurtama booda Israaʼel inni dhugaa gammoojjii keessaa baʼee Biyya Abdachiifamte sana seene; Yerikoonis tarkaanfii isaanii isa jalqabaa ture; innis humna Waaqayyoo isa fayyinaaf nama amanu hundumaaf hojjetu agarsiisuuf mallattoo taʼee dhaabbata. Yerikoon akkasumas hojii sochiin Millerite bara 1863 keessa fuulduratti ilaaluuf dirqame sanaaf mallattoo dha; garuu isaan gara gammoojjiitti duubatti deebiʼan. Fakkeenyi Eliyaas kallattiidhaan fakkeenya Yerikoo wajjin wal qabata; walitti dhufeenya seenaa Eliyaas Yerikoo wajjin qabu ilaaluun immoo barsiisaa dha.

> Yeroo sanatti hojii Oomrii inni hojjete hafan, fi jabina isaa inni ittiin mul’ise, macaafa seenaa mootota Israa’el keessatti barreeffamanii hin jiranii ree? Oomriinis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Samaariyaa keessatti awwaalame; Akaab ilmi isaas iddoo isaa bu’ee mootummaa qabate. Waggaan soddomii saddeettaffa irratti Asa mootiin Yihudaa mootummaa isaa keessa jirutti, Akaab ilmi Oomrii Israa’el irratti mootummaa jalqabe; Akaab ilmi Oomrii Samaariyaa keessatti Israa’el irratti waggaa digdamii lama mootummaa mootummaa isaa geggeesse. Akaab ilmi Oomriis warra isa dura turan hundumaa caalaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa hojjete. Akkasumas, akka cubbuu Yerobiyaam ilma Nebaax keessa deddeebi’uun waan salphaa ta’eetti, Iizeebel intala Etba’al mootii Siidoonotaa fuudhee niitii godhate; achiis deeme Ba’aal tajaajilee isaaf sagade. Innis mana Ba’aal, isa Samaariyaa keessatti ijaare sana keessatti Ba’aaliif iddoo aarsaa dhaabe. Akaabis bosona waaqeffannaa tolfate; Akaab mootota Israa’el isa dura turan hundumaa caalaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israa’el aarsaa itti kaase. Bara isaa keessatti Hii’el nama Beet’el irraa ta’e Yerikoo ni ijaare; inni hundee isaa ilma isaa angafa Abiiraamiin kaa’e, karra isaas ilma isaa quxisuu Seguubiin dhaabe; kunis akka dubbii Waaqayyoo inni karaa Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuniin dubbateetti ta’e. Eliyaas Tishbaan, inni jiraattota Gili’aad keessaa tokko ture, Akaabiin akkana jedhe, “Akka Waaqayyo Waaqni Israa’el inni ani fuula isaa duratti dhaabadhu jiraatutti, waggoota kanneen keessatti akka dubbii kootiin ta’e malee fixeensi yookaan roobni hin jiraatu.” 1 Mootota 16:27–17:1.

Waldhabdeen Eliyaas waaqolota Ahaabii fi Iizaabeli irratti Tulluu Qarmeeloositti geggeesse, deebii gantummaa mootii mootummaa kaabaa Israa’el isa torbaffaaffaatiin ta’e; inni “mootota Israa’el isa dura turan hundumaa caalaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa Israa’el akka dheekkamu godhe.” Jechi “akka dheekkamu gochuu” jedhu kutaa kana keessatti, “guyyaa dheekkamsaa” kan lakkoofsa kudhaffaa Qormaata Lakkoobsa kudha afur keessatti argamuun bakka buufameef wabii dha. Waaqayyoon akka dheekkamu Ahaabiin godhuun, qormaata kudhan keessaa isa dhumaa kan gabaasa hamaa basaastota kudhaniin Lakkoobsa kudha afur keessatti fidame bakka bu’a. Kanaafuu, inni qormaata isa dhumaa sochii Milleriitii fi qormaata isa dhumaa nama kuma dhibba tokkoo fi afurtamii afurii bakka bu’a.

> Kanaafuu Hafuurri Qulqulluun akkana jedha: “Har’a yoo sagalee isaa dhageessitan, akka yeroo dallansiisummaa keessatti, akka guyyaa qoramaa lafa ona keessatti ta’eetti, garaa keessan hin jabeessinaa.” Ibroota 3:7, 8.

Yeroo raajii “guyyaa dallansiisaa” jechuun kan Ahaab bakka bu’u keessatti, raajichi Eliyaas, yoo barbaachisaa ta’e, Waaqayyo murtiiwwan Israa’el irratti akka fidu kadhate; kunis uummanni Isaa cubbuu isaan keessatti hirmaachaa turan irraa akka qalbii jijjiirratanif ture.

> “Uummanni Israa’el suuta suutaan Waaqaaf soda fi ulfina qaban dhabuutti turan; hamma dubbiin isaa karaa Iyaasuutti dubbate isaanii biratti ulfina tokko illee hin qabaanneetti. ‘Bara isaa [Ahaabii] keessa Hii’el nama Beet’eelii Yerikoo ijaare: inni hundee isaa ilma isaa angafa Abiraamiin kaa’e, karrawwan isaas ilma isaa quxisuu Seguubiin dhaabe; akkuma dubbii Waaqayyo karaa Iyaasuu ilma Nuun dubbateetti.’”

> “Yeroo Israaʼel gantummaa keessa seenaa turetti, Eliyaas raajii Waaqayyoo amanamaa fi dhugaa taʼee hafe. Inni lubbuun isaa amanamtuu taʼe baayʼee dhiphatte; sababni isaas inni amantii dhabuu fi amanamummaa dhabuun ilmaan Israaʼel Waaqayyo irraa saffisaan addaan baasu argaa ture; kanaafis inni Waaqayyo saba Isaa akka oolchu kadhate. Inni Gooftaan saba Isaa cubbamaa guutummaatti akka hin gatin jabeessee kadhate; garuu yoo barbaachise murtiiwwaniin isaanii qalbii jijjiirrannaatti akka dammaqsu, akkasumas cubbuu keessatti hamma caalu akka hin deemin, kanaanis Isaan saba tokkootti akka isaan balleessuuf Isa hin kakaasne akka taasisu kadhate.”

> “Waaqayyo ergaa isaa gara Eliyaasitti erge; inni cubbuu Israaʼel irraa kan kaʼe labsii firdii Isaa Ahaabitti akka geessuuf. Eliyaas hanga mootummaa Ahaabitti gaʼutti halkanii fi guyyaa imale. Seensa akka isaaf kennan hin gaafanne; akkasumas akka malaan beeksifamee seenuufis hin eegne. Ahaab osoo hin eegiin, Eliyaas uffata gogaa raafamaa kan raajonni yeroo baayʼee uffatan uffatee mooticha Samaariyaa ajaaʼibsiifame sana duratti dhaabate. Inni mulʼata isaa battaluma kana, affeerraa malee taʼeef dhiifama hin gaafanne; garuu harka isaa gara samii ol kaasuun, Waaqa jiraataa, inni samii fi lafa uume sanaan, firdii Israaʼel irratti dhufu ulfinaan mirkaneesse: ‘Waggoota kana keessatti akka dubbii kootitti malee fixeensa yookaan roobni hin jiraatu.’”

> “Kun mormiin kun murtii Israa’el cubbuu irraa kan ka’e murtii Waaqayyoo kanaan jabaatee ifate kun akka balaqqeessa onnee mooticha gantuu sanatti bu’e. Inni dinqisiifannaa fi sodaadhaan waan qabame fakkaate; akkasumas, utuu inni naasuu isaa keessaa hin bayin dura, Eliyaas ergaa isaa maal akka fide ilaaluuf utuu hin eegin, akkuma dhufe sana battalumatti bade. Hojiin isaa dubbii badiisaa Waaqayyo irraa ta’e dubbachuu qofa ture, innis yeruma sanatti of duuba deebi’e. Dubbiin isaa badhaadhina samii cufee ture; dubbiin isaa qoftis furtuu isa ammas banu danda’u ture.” Testimonies, volume 3, 273.

Israaʼel akka Iyyaasuun saboota ormoota wajjin akka hin walitti hidhannee fi Yerikoo akka gonkumaa deebisanii hin ijaarre cimsee isaan ajaje ni dagate ture. Yoo duulli Yerikoo agarsiisa guddaa humna Waaqayyoo fi mallattoo abdii Waaqayyo ummata Isaa gara Biyya Abdachiifamteetti akka geessu taʼe illee, cubbuu tokko, abaaramaa tokko, fi furamuun tokko Yerikoo wajjin walqabatee ture. “Cubbuun” sun kan Akaan isa qabeenya fi dhiibbaa Yerikoo hawwe turee dha; “abaaramaan” sun nama Yerikoo deebisee ijaaru kam iyyuu irra ture; sagaagaltuun Rahaabis immoo “furamuu” bakka buute. Akaan uffata Bareedaa Baabilon hawwa ture. Akkuma Addaamii fi Hewwaan uffata baala harbuu ofitti tolfatanii cubbuu isaanii dhoksuuf yaalan, innis cubbuu isaa dhokfachuu dandaʼa jedhee yaade. Akaan badhaadhina Yerikoon bakka buufte fedha ture; Baabilon wajjinis walqabuu hawwa ture.

Yerikoon akka fakkeenya hojii ergaa ergamaa sadaffaa gara biyya lafaa geessuu ibsuutti dhihaatti; garuu inni waaʼee cubbuu addunyaadhaaf jaalala qabaachuu fi addunyaatti amanachuu ilaalchisee akeekkachiisa of keessaa qaba. Fakkeenyi Yerikoo akkasumas deebisanii Yerikoo ijaaruu irratti abaarama of keessaa qaba; Rahabis warra ammas Baabilon keessa jiran, yeroo iyyi guddaan ergamaa sadaffaa labsamu keessaa baʼan bakka buuti.

> Lubbuun amanamaa Eliyaas baayʼee gaddite. Dheekkamsi isaa ni kaʼe, ulfina Waaqayyooofis hinaaffaa qaba ture. Inni Israaʼel gantummaa sodaachisaa keessatti kuftee akka jirtu arge. Yommuu wantoota guguddoo Waaqayyo isaaniif hojjete yaadates, gadda guddaatiin fi dinqisiifannaan ni liqimfame. Garuu wantoonni kun hundinuu uummata keessaa baayʼina isaanii biratti ni irraanfataman. Inni fuula Gooftaa dura dhaabatee, lubbuun isaa dhiphina cimaadhaan cunqurfamtee, yoo murtiiwwaniin taʼe illee akka inni saba Isaa oolchuuf kadhate. Inni Waaqayyoon akka inni saba Isaa galata hin qabne irraa fixeensa fi bokkaa, qabeenya mootummaa waaqaa, dhowwu kadhate; akka Israaʼel gantuun kun waaqolii isaanii, waaqota isaanii kanneen warqee, muka, fi dhagaa irraa hojjetaman, aduu, jiʼa, fi urjoota, akka isaan lafa obaasan, gabbisan, fi akka isheen baayʼinaan midhaan baaftuuf waaqeffatan, garuu akka isaan keessaa homaa hin arganneef. Gooftaan Eliyaasiin akka inni kadhannaa isaa dhagaʼe, fi hanga isaan qalbii jijjiirrachuudhaan gara Isaa deebiʼanitti saba Isaa irraa fixeensaa fi bokkaa akka dhowwu itti hime.

> “Waaqayyo akka garaan isaanii bosonaalee fi iddoo waaqeffannaa, mana qulqullummaa fi iddoo aarsaa haala baayʼee qaalii fi nama hawwatuun qindaaʼan sanaan gowwoomfamee, miirri isaanii jalʼifamee Waaqayyo sammuu saba keessatti bakka buqqaʼu irraa eeguuf, sabni Isaa saboota naannoo isaanii waaqa tolfamaa waaqeffatan wajjin akka hin makamne addatti eegaa ture.

> “Magaalaan Yerikoo waaqeffannaa waaqota sobaaf baayʼee garmalee kennamee ture. Jiraattonni ishee baayʼee sooressa turan; garuu qabeenya hundumaa Waaqayyo isaaniif kenne kennaa waaqota isaanii akka taʼeetti lakkaaʼu turan. Isaan warqee fi meetii baayʼinaan qabu turan; garuu, akkuma namoota Bishaan Badiisaa dura turanii, mancaʼoo fi arrabsoo dubbatan turan; hojii isaanii hamaadhaanis Waaqa samii arrabsanii ni aarsan turan. Murtiin Waaqayyoo Yerikoo irratti dammaqe. Isheen iddoo jabaa turte. Garuu Ajajaan loltoota Waaqayyoo mataan Isaa mootummaa samii keessaa dhufee waraana mootummaa samii magaalaa sana irratti duuluuf geggeesse. Ergamoonni Waaqayyoo dallaawwan guguddoo sana qabatanii gara lafaatti gad buusan. Waaqayyo akka magaalaan Yerikoo abaarsamtu, Rahabii fi warri mana ishee malee hundinuu akka badu dubbatee ture. Isaan kun immoo sababii gaarummaa Rahabiin ergamoota Gooftaaaf argisiifteef ni fayyu turan. Dubbiin Gooftaa inni sabaaf kenname akkana ture: ‘Isin garuu waan abaarsame sana irraa of eeggadhaa, akka isinis yeroo waan abaarsame sana keessaa fudhattan of abaarsitanii qubata Israaʼel abaarsa gootanii isa rakkiftan hin taʼineef.’ ‘Yeroo sana Iyyaasuun akkana jedhee isaan kakachiise: Namichi magaalaa Yerikoo kana kaʼee ijaaru kam iyyuu Gooftaa duratti abaarsamaa haa taʼu; inni angafa ilma isaatiin hundee ishee ni kaaʼa; ilma isaa isa quxisuutiinis karrawwan ishee ni dhaaba.’”

> “Waaqayyo waaʼee Yerikoo irratti baayʼee of eeggannoo qaba ture; akka sabichi waan warri achi keessa jiraatan waaqeffatanitti hin hawwoofneef, garaan isaaniis Waaqayyorraa akka hin garagalleef. Inni ajajawwan baayʼee ifaa fi jajjaboo taʼaniin saba Isaa eege; taʼus, akeekkachiisa ulfina qabeessa Waaqayyo afaan Iyyaasuun kenne sana utuu jiruu, Akaan seera sana cabsuuf ija jabeeffate. Dooniin isaa qabeenya Waaqayyo akka inni hin tuqne dhowwe keessaa akka fudhatu isa geesse; sababni isaas abaarsi Waaqayyoo isaanii irra ture. Cubbuu namicha kanaatiin Israaʼel Waaqayyoo diinoota isaanii duratti akka bishaanitti laafaa taʼan.”

> “Yaaʼoonnii fi maanguddoonni Israa’el rakkina guddaa keessa turan. Waaqayyo saba Isaa irratti aaree waan tureef, isaan gad of qabuun hunda caalaa gad-aanaa ta’een Taabota Waaqayyoo duratti ciisan. Isaan Waaqayyo duratti kadhatanii boo’an. Gooftaan Yaaʼoonniidhaan akkana jedhe: ‘Ka’i; maaliif akkana fuula kee irratti ciista? Israa’el cubbuu hojjeteera; isaan kakuu Koo isa Ani isaanitti ajaje illee cabsaniiru; waan abaarame keessaa illee fudhataniiru, akkasumas hattaniiru, sobaniirus; isaanis qabeenya ofii isaanii gidduutti illee kaa’aniiru. Kanaaf ijoolleen Israa’el diinota isaanii dura dhaabachuu hin dandeenye, garuu waan abaaramoo ta’aniif diinota isaanii duraa dugda deebisanii baqatan; isin waan abaarame sana gidduu keessan keessaa balleessitan yoo ta’e malee, Ani deebi’ee isin wajjin hin ta’u.’”

> “Ani Waaqayyo asitti akka inni cubbuu warra uummata isaa warra ajajawwan isaa eegan jedhamanii of himatan gidduutti akkamitti ilaalu natti agarsiifameera. Warri inni addumaan ulfina kennuufiin mul’ata humna isaa dinqisiisaa ta’e dhugaa ba’uun argan, akkuma Israa’el isa durii, garuu yoos qajeelfama isaa ifatti kenne tuffachuuf iyyuu ija jabinaan ka’an, dheekkamsa isaa jala ni galu. Inni uummata isaa barsiisuu barbaada; ajajamuu diduunii fi cubbuun isa duratti baay’ee jibbisiisaa akka ta’an, salphaatti ilaalamuu akka hin qabnes.” Testimonies, volume 3, 263, 264.

Seenaan Yerikoo keessatti humnaa fi ulfina magaalaa hamaa fi badhaadhaa fakkaatanii mul’atan irratti akka hin amanamne akeekkachiisni ni jira. Raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessatti “magaalaan” mootummaa dha, Akaanis uffata Baabilonii tokko fudhate. Uffanni karaa raajiitiin amala bakka bu’a; kanaaf, “guyyoota dhumaa” keessatti Akaan uffata Baabilonii dhoksuun isaa hawwii dhokataa amala Baabilon hafuuraa qabaachuu agarsiisa. Amalli, yookaan fakkiin Baabilon hafuuraa, waan Ameerikaan Yunaayitid Isteetis yommuu waldaa fi mootummaa walitti fiddu hawwitu dha.

Dargaggoota sochii warra sochii Miileraayitii keessaa keessaa waraana biyya keessaa keessatti galmeeffamuu dandaʼuu isaanii wajjin fuulduratti dhaabbatanii, akkasumas barbaachisummaa gurmaaʼinaas hubatanii, hoggantoonni sochii sanaa sabicha badhaadhaa isa isaan matumaa itti fakkaachuu hin qabne wajjin karaa seeraatiin walitti hidhatan. Seerri Buʼuuraa biyya badhaadhaa sanaa iyyuu waldaan mootummaa wajjin walqabuu akka isaaf barbaachisaa hin taane qopheeffamee ture. Yeroo Miileraayitii keessatti amantii-gareewwan turan keessaa kanneen harʼas jiran jiru; amantii-gareewwan sana keessaa muraasni mootummaa Ameerikaa Yunaayitid Isteets wajjin hariiroo seeraa sana keessatti gonkumaa hin seenne, filannoon isaanii hariiroo sana hundeessuu dhiisuu isaaniis waldoota isaanii garaagaraa gurmeessuu keessatti kara mootummaa kamiinuu isaan hin dhowwine.

Erga Iyyaasuun waraana Yerikoo erga loltee yeroo dheeraa booddee, bara Ahaab keessatti, akeekkachiisonni hundinuu waa’ee gantummaa Akaanii fi badiisa Yerikoo ilaalchisee kennaman saba Waaqayyoo gantummaa keessa seene sana biratti ni irraanfataman. Eliyaas, yoo barbaachisaa ta’e, murtiin Waaqayyoo saba Isaa gara qalbii jijjiirrannaatti deebisuuf akka hojjatu kadhatee Waaqayyootti ni kadhate. Yommuu Milkiyaas dubbii dhumaa Kakuu Moofaa galmeessu, abdichi keessatti haala Gooftaan addunyaa abaaradhaan rukutu keessatti kaa’ama. Abaarri Yerikoo wajjin walqabate sun, nama kamiinuu Yerikoo deebi’ee ijaaru irra ture. Abaarrichi nama kam iyyuu akka Akaanitti qabeenya fi badhaadhina Yerikoo wajjin walqabate irratti amanamummaa kaa’uu barbaadu irra ture. “Cubbuun” Akaanii fedhii keessaa dhokataa fi hin qulqulloofne uffata Baabilon uffachuuf hawwu sana bakka bu’a. “Abaarsi” immoo hojii fedhiiwwan keessaa sana gochaan raawwachuu irratti ture.

Ergaan Millers ergaa Eliyaas ergaa yeroo isaa ture; waraanni Siviiliis immoo murtiiwwan ergaa Eliyaas wajjin dhufan bakka buʼe. Giddu-gala waraana Siviilii keessa, bara 1863tti, Adventizimiin Millerite Yerikoo deebisee ijaare; kunis bal’ina abaarsa Iyyaasuun nama akkas godhu kamiyyuu irratti dubbateen ragaa baʼeera.

> Yaaʼoshuun yeroo sana isaan kakachiisee, akkana jedhe: Namni magaalaa Yerikoo kana kaʼee deebisee ijaaru, Waaqayyo duratti abaaramaa haa taʼu; inni hundee ishee ilma isaa angafaatiin ni kaaʼa, balbala ishees ilma isaa quxisuutiin ni dhaaba. Yaaʼoshuu 6:26.

Jechi ajaja Iyyaasuu keessa jiru “kakachiise” jedhu kakuu fi abaarsa lamaanidha. Yoo ati ajaja Iyyaasuu cabsitu, abaarsamaadha; yoo kakuu sana eegde immoo eebbifamaadha. Jechi “kakachiise” jedhamee hiikame kun Leewwota digdamii jaha keessatti “yeroo torba” jedhamees hiikama. Akkuma Daani’el boqonnaa sagal keessatti ibsuutti, kakuu fi abaarsi Musee deebisanii ijaarsa Yerikoo wajjin walitti hidhata qaba.

> Eeyyee, Israa’el hundinuu seera kee irra daddarbaniru, irraa garagaluudhaan sagalee kee akka hin ajajamneef; kanaafis abaarsi sun nu irratti dhangala’eera, kakuu Seera Musee garbicha Waaqayyoo keessatti barreeffames, sababni isaa isatti cubbuu hojjenneerra. Daani’el 9:11.

ସିଷ୍ଟର ହ୍ୱାଇଟ୍ କହିଥିଲେ, “ଇଶ୍ୱର ଯିରିହୋ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସତର୍କ ଥିଲେ, କାହିଁକିନା ଲୋକମାନେ ସେଠାର ନିବାସୀମାନେ ଯାହାକୁ ଉପାସନା କରୁଥିଲେ ସେହି ବସ୍ତୁଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ମୋହିତ ହୋଇ, ତାଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟ ଇଶ୍ୱରଠାରୁ ଫେରି ଯାଅନ୍ତି ବୋଲି।” ଯିରିହୋର ବିନାଶକୁ ସଂପାଦନ କରିବାରେ ଇଶ୍ୱର ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସତର୍କ ଥିଲେ, ଏବଂ ତେଣୁ ଆଖାନ୍‌ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ ସତର୍କବାଣୀକୁ ଲିପିବଦ୍ଧ କରିବାରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସତର୍କ ଥିଲେ। ଯିରିହୋକୁ ପୁନର୍ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିବା ସହିତ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧିତ ଶାପକୁ ଲିପିବଦ୍ଧ କରିବାରେ ସେ ସାବଧାନ ଥିଲେ, ଏବଂ ପ୍ରାଚୀରଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଭଞ୍ଜି ପକାଇବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରୟୋଗ ହୋଇଥିବା ଦିବ୍ୟ କୌଶଳଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ ଭାବରେ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦିଷ୍ଟ କରିବାରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସାବଧାନ ଥିଲେ।

Dhugumatti inni Waaqa gooftaa raayyaa taʼee ergamoota akka dallaan Yerikoo diigamu qajeelche yesuus ture; Dubbiin Waaqaa keessattis wanti tokko illee akkuma tasaa hin raawwatamu. Garuu haala kana keessatti, raajittiin sun “Waaqni waaʼee Yerikoo irratti baayʼee xiyyeeffataa ture” jettee nutti himti.

Bara darbe keessa Waaqayyo namoota kaaseera; amma illee namoota carraa qaban, ajaja Isaa raawwachuuf eeggachaa fi qophaa’an qaba—namoota daangeffamoota, kanneen akkuma dallaa dhoqqee hin bilchaanneen dibame qofa ta’an, keessa darbanii deeman. Yommuu Waaqayyo Hafuura Isaa namoota irra kaa’u, isaan hojii ni hojjetu. Isaan dubbii Gooftaa ni labsu; sagalee isaanii akka malakataatti ol ni kaasu. Dhugaan harka isaanii keessatti hin hir’atu yookaan humna isaa hin dhabu. Isaan yakka isaanii saba ni argisiisu, mana Yaaqoobis cubbuu isaanii ni mul’isu.” Testimonies to Ministers, 409–411.
