I-Pentateuch Makabongwe uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, onikele izitha zakho esandleni sakho.” Wamnika okweshumi kwakho konke. Genesise 14:20 Konke okweshumi kwezwe, noma ngabe okwembewu yezwe, noma okwezithelo zomuthi, kungokukaJehova; kungcwele kuJehova. Uma umuntu ethanda ukuhlenga okweshumi kwakhe, uyakunezela kukho okwesihlanu kwakho. Kepha okweshumi komhlambi wezinkomo noma komhlambi wezimvu, noma yikuphi okudlula ngaphansi kwentonga, okweshumi kuyakuba ngcwele kuJehova. Levitikusi 27:30-32 Kepha okweshumi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abakunikelayo njengomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova, ngikunike amaLevi abe yifa; ngakho-ke ngithe kubo: Phakathi kwabantwana bakwaIsrayeli abayikuba nefa. Khuluma namaLevi, uthi kubo: Nxa nithatha kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli okweshumi engininike khona kubo kube yifa lenu, niyakunikela ngakho umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova, okweshumi kokweshumi. Kanjalo nani niyakunikela ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova kukho konke okweshumi kwenu enikwamukelayo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ninikele ngakho umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kaJehova ku-Aroni umpristi. Numeri 18:24,26,28 28. Nikeza intela kuJehova emadodeni empi aphuma impi: umphefumulo kwabangamakhulu ayisihlanu, kubantu, nasezinkomeni, nasezimbongolweni, nasezimvu.

Intela kaJehova yezimvu yayingu-675. Izinkomo zaziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nesithupha; intela kaJehova yayingamashumi ayisikhombisa neshumi nambili. Izimbongolo zaziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu namakhulu amahlanu; intela kaJehova yayingamashumi ayisithupha nanye. Abantu babeyizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesithupha; intela kaJehova yayingabantu abangamashumi amathathu nambili. UMose wanika u-Eleyazare umpristi intela, eyayingumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kaJehova, njengoba uJehova ayemyalile uMose. Numeri 31:37-41 Niyakuletha lapho iminikelo yenu yokushiswa, nemihlatshelo yenu, nokweshumi kwenu, neminikelo yenu yokuphakanyiswa, nezithembiso zenu, neminikelo yenu yesihle, namazibulo ezinkomo zenu nawezimvu zenu; khona-ke kuyakuba khona indawo uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ayakuyikhetha ukuba igama lakhe lihlale khona; niyakuletha lapho konke enginiyala ngakho; iminikelo yenu yokushiswa, nemihlatshelo yenu, nokweshumi kwenu, nomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesandla senu, nazo zonke izithembiso zenu ezikhethiweyo enizifungela uJehova; aninakudlela emasangweni enu okweshumi kokusanhlamvu kwenu, noma okwewayinini lakho, noma okwamafutha enu, noma okwamazibulo ezinkomo zenu noma okwezimvu zenu, noma yisiphi isithembiso enizifungela sona, noma iminikelo yenu yesihle, noma umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesandla senu.

Uyonikela ngokweshumi kwembewu yakho yonke, ephuma ensimini iminyaka ngeminyaka. Uyodla phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, endaweni ayoyikhetha ukuba igama lakhe lihlale kuyo, okweshumi kwamabele akho, okwewayini lakho, nokwamafutha akho, nokwamazibulo ezinkomo zakho nokwezimvu zakho, ukuze ufunde ukwesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho njalo. Ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu uyokhipha konke okweshumi kwesivuno sakho ngalowo nyaka, ukubeke ngaphakathi kwamasango akho: UmLevi, (njengoba engenasabelo noma ifa nawe), nomfokazi, nentandane, nomfelokazi, abaphakathi kwamasango akho, bayakufika, badle, basuthe; ukuze uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akubusise kuyo yonke imisebenzi yesandla sakho oyenzayo. Duteronomi 14:22-23,28-29 Uyakugcina umkhosi wamasonto kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngesipho somnikelo wesihle wesandla sakho, oyakusinika uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ekubusisile. Duteronomi 16:10 Uma usondela emzini ukulwa nawo, memezela ukuthula kuwo; kuyakuthi uma uphendula ngokuthula, uvulekele kuwe, bonke abantu abatholakala kuwo babe yizisebenzi zempoqo, bakukhonze. Duteronomi 20:10-11 Uma usuqedile ukunikela okweshumi kwakho konke okweshumi kwesivuno sakho ngonyaka wesithathu, okungunyaka wokunikela okweshumi, ukunike umLevi, umfokazi, intandane, nomfelokazi, ukuba badle ngaphakathi kwamasango akho, basuthe; Duteronomi 26:12
Umlando Abawaxoshanga amaKhanani ayehlala eGezeri, kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kwama-Efrayimi kuze kube namuhla, akhonza ngaphansi kwentela. Joshuwa 16:10 Kodwa kwathi lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli sebenamandla, bawasebenzisa amaKhanani, kodwa abazange bawaxoshe ngokuphelele. Joshuwa 17:13 Kwathi lapho u-Israyeli esenamandla, bawasebenzisa amaKhanani, abawaxosha ngokupheleleyo. UZebuloni akaxoshanga abakhe eKitroni nabakhe eNahaloli; kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kwabo, aba yizisebenzi. UNafetali akaxoshanga abakhe eBeti Shemeshi nabakhe eBeti Anati; kodwa wahlala phakathi kwamaKhanani, abakhe kulelo zwe; kepha abakhe eBeti Shemeshi naseBeti Anati baba yizisebenzi zabo. Ama-Amori afuna ukuhlala entabeni yaseHeresi e-Ajaloni naseShahalibimi; kepha isandla sendlu kaJosefa sanqoba, aba yizisebenzi.

UFaro Nekho wambopha eRibila ezweni laseHamati, ukuze angabe esabusa eJerusalema, wathelisa izwe amatalenta ayikhulu esiliva netalenta legolide. 2 AmaKhosi 23:33 UJehoyakimi wanika uFaro isiliva negolide, kodwa wathelisa izwe ukuze anike imali ngokomyalo kaFaro: wabiza isiliva negolide kubantu bezwe, yilowo nalowo ngokwentela yakhe, ukuze alinike uFaro Nekho. 2 AmaKhosi 23:35 Bonke abantu abaseleyo kumaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ababengesibo abakwa-Israyeli, kodwa kubantwana babo abasala emva kwabo ezweni, abangaqothulwanga ngabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uSolomoni wababiza ukuba bakhokhe intela kuze kube namuhla. 2 IziKronike 8:7-8 Inkosi uRehobowamu yathuma uHadoramu owayephethe intela; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamkhanda ngamatshe, waze wafa. Kodwa inkosi uRehobowamu yashesha yamkhwela enqoleni yayo, ukuba abalekele eJerusalema. 2 IziKronike 10:18 Ukwesaba uJehova kwehlela phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yamazwe azungeze uJuda, kangangokuthi ayilwanga noJehoshafati. Amanye amaFilisti aletha izipho kuJehoshafati, nesiliva lentela; amaArabhu aletha kuye imihlambi, izinqama eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa, nezimpongo eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa. UJehoshafati wakhula kakhulu; wakha izinqaba nemizi yokugcina izinto kwaJuda. 2 IziKronike 17:10-12 Kwathi nje lapho umyalo ufika, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baletha kakhulu izithelo zokuqala zamabele, iwayini, namafutha, noju, nazo zonke izithelo zasemasimini; baletha nokweshumi kwakho konke. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabakwaJuda ababehlala emizini yakwaJuda baletha nokweshumi kwezinkabi nezimvu, nokweshumi kwezinto ezingcwele ezazingcweliselwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, bakubeka ngezinqwaba. Baletha iminikelo nokweshumi nezinto ezingcwele ngokwethembeka; uKhonaniya umLevi wayeyinduna phezu kwazo, uShimeyi umfowabo wayengowesibili. 2 IziKronike 31:5-6,12 Nansi ikhophi yencwadi abayithumela kuye, ngisho ku-Aritahishashita inkosi: Izinceku zakho, amadoda angaphesheya komfula, futhi ngesikhathi esinje. Makwazeke enkosini ukuthi amaJuda akhuphukele kithi evela kuwe afikile eJerusalema, akha umuzi ohlubukayo nomubi, amise izindonga zawo, ahlanganisa izisekelo. Makwazeke enkosini manje ukuthi uma lo muzi wakhiwa, nezindonga ziphinde zimiswe, ngeke bakhokhe intela, intela, nemali yentela, ngakho-ke uzolimaza imali yamakhosi. Ezra 4:11-13 Incwadi enasithumelela yona isifundwe kahle phambi kwami. Ngayala, kwaphenywa, kwatholakala ukuthi lo muzi wasendulo uvukele amakhosi, nokuthi ukuhlubuka nokuvukela kuye kwenziwa kuwo. Kwakukhona namakhosi anamandla eJerusalema, ayebusa phezu kwawo wonke amazwe angaphesheya koMfula; kwakhokhwa intela, intela, nentela yendlela. Manje khiphani umyalo wokuba laba bantu bayeke, nokuthi lo muzi ungakhiwa, kuze kube yilapho ngikhipha omunye umyalo. Ezra 4:18-21 Futhi ngikhipha umyalo wokuthi yini eniyakuyenza kubadala balamaJuda ukuze kwakhiwe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu: ukuthi ezimpahleni zenkosi, ngisho nasenkokhelweni engaphesheya koMfula, izindleko zinikwe laba bantu ngokushesha, ukuze bangavinjelwa.

Futhi siyanazisa ukuthi ngokuphathelene nanoma yibaphi abapristi namaLevi, abahlabeleli, abalindimasango, amaNethini, noma izikhonzi zale ndlu kaNkulunkulu, akuvunyelwe ukubakhokhisa intela, intela, noma intela yendlu. Ezra 7:24 Kwakukhona nabathi: “Siboleke imali yentela yenkosi, nasemasimu ethu nasezivinini zethu.” Nehemiya 5:4 Futhi ukuthi silethe ulibo lwenhlama yethu, neminikelo yethu, nezithelo zemithi yezinhlobo zonke, iwayini namafutha, kubapristi, emakamelweni endlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, nokweshumi komhlabathi wethu kumaLevi, ukuze wona amaLevi athole okweshumi kuyo yonke imizi yethu yokulima. Umpristi indodana ka-Aroni uyakuba namaLevi, lapho amaLevi emukela okweshumi; amaLevi ayakukhuphula okweshumi kokweshumi endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu, emakamelweni, endlini yengcebo. Nehemiya 10:37-38 Ngaleso sikhathi kwamiswa abanye phezu kwamakamelo engcebo, neminikelo, nolibo, nokweshumi, ukuze baqoqele kuwo emasimini emizi izabelo zomthetho zabapristi namaLevi: ngokuba uJuda wajabula ngabapristi namaLevi ababekhonza. Nehemiya 12:44 Wayemlungisele ikamelo elikhulu, lapho babebeka khona iminikelo yempuphu, nenhlaka, nezitsha, nokweshumi kwamabele, newayini elisha, namafutha, okwakuyalwe ukuba kunikwe amaLevi, nabahlabeleli, nabalindisango, kanye neminikelo yabapristi.

Lethani konke okweshumi endlini yokugcina izinto, ukuze kube nokudla endlini yami, ningivivinye ngalokhu manje,” usho uJehova Sebawoti, “uma ngingayikunivulela amafasitela asezulwini, nginithululele isibusiso, kuze kungabikho indawo eyanele yokusamukela.” Ngiyakumsola umdli ngenxa yenu, futhi ngeke abhubhise izithelo zomhlabathi wenu; nomvini wenu awuyikuphonsa izithelo zawo ngaphambi kwesikhathi ensimini,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.

UPetru wathi kuye: “Kwabafokazi.” UJesu wathi kuye: “ Khona-ke abantwana bakhululekile. Kodwa-ke, ukuze singabakhubekisi, hamba uye elwandle, uphonse udobo, ubambe inhlanzi ephuma kuqala; lapho usuvule umlomo wayo, uzothola uhlamvu lwemali; yithathe, ubanike, mina nawe.” Mathewu 17:24-27 Base bephuma abaFarisi, benza icebo lokuthi bangamhilela kanjani enkulumweni yakhe. Bathuma kuye abafundi babo kanye nabakaHerode, bathi: “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uqinisile, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, futhi awukhathali ngamuntu, ngokuba awubheki ubuso babantu. Ngakhoke sitshele, ucabangani na? Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari noma cha?” Kepha uJesu eqonda ububi babo, wathi: “ Ningilingelani nina bazenzisi na?” Ngiboniseni imali yentela. Base bemlethela udenariyu. Wathi kubo: “ Ngokabani lo mfanekiso nombhalo?” Bathi kuye: “NgokaKesari.” Wayesethi kubo: “ Ngakho-ke nikani uKesari okukaKesari, noNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.” Mathewu 22:15-21 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi, ngokuba nikhokha okweshumi kweminti, ne-anise, necumin, niyekile izinto ezibaluleke kakhulu zomthetho, ukwahlulela, nesihe, nokukholwa; lokhu bekufanele nikwenze, ningakuyeki okunye. Mathewu 23:23 Bafika bathi kuye: “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uqinisile, awukhathali ngamuntu, ngokuba awubheki ubuso babantu, kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso. Kuvunyelwe yini ukukhokhisa uKesari intela noma qha? Sinike, noma singanikeli na?” Kepha yena ekwazi ukuzenzisa kwabo, wathi kubo: “Ningilingelani na? Ngiletheleni udenariyu, ukuze ngiwubone.” Bawuletha. Wathi kubo: “ Ngokabani lo mfanekiso nombhalo?” Bathi kuye: “NgokaKesari.” UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: “ Nikani uKesari okukaKesari, noNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.” Bamangala ngaye. Marku 12:1417 UJesu wahlala phansi maqondana nomphongolo weminikelo, wabona ukuthi isixuku sibeka kanjani imali emphongolweni weminikelo, nabacebileyo abaningi babeka okuningi. Kwafika umfelokazi ompofu, wabeka amafadingi amabili, enza isenti elilodwa. Wayesebiza abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: “ Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lo mfelokazi ompofu ubeka okuningi kunabo bonke ababeka emphongolweni weminikelo; ngokuba bonke babeka kokuningi kwabo; kepha yena ekusweleni kwakhe ubeka konke anakho, yebo konke abephila ngakho.” Marku 12:41-44 Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku, kwaphuma isimemezelo kuKesari Awugustu sokuba kubhalwe phansi umhlaba wonke. (Lokhu kubhalwa phansi kwaqala ngesikhathi uKhureniyu engumbusi waseSiriya.) Bonke baya ukuyobhalwa phansi, yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo. UJosefa naye wakhuphuka eGalile, emzini waseNazaretha, waya eJudiya, emzini kaDavide, othiwa iBetlehema, ngokuba wayengowendlu nozalo lukaDavide:) ukuyobhalwa phansi noMariya, umkakhe ayemthembise umshado, esekhulelwe. Luka 2:1-5 Kodwa maye kini baFarisi, ngokuba ninikela okweshumi kweminti neruwe kanye nemifino yonke, ninganaki ukwahlulela nothando lukaNkulunkulu; lokhu bekufanele ngabe nikwenzile, ningakuyeki okunye. Luka 11:42 Amadoda amabili akhuphukela ethempelini ukuyokhuleka; omunye engumFarisi, omunye engumthelisi. UmFarisi wema, wakhuleka yedwa ethi: Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ngokuba anginjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangalungile, iziphingi, noma njengalo mthelisi.

Baqala ukummangalela, bathi: “Simfumene lo muntu edukisa isizwe, enqabela ukukhokhisa uKesari intela, ethi yena unguKristu inkosi.” UPilatu wambuza wathi: “UyiNkosi yabaJuda na?” Wamphendula wathi: “ Usho khona.” UPilatu wayesethi kubapristi abakhulu nakubantu: “Angifumani cala kulo muntu.” Luka 23:1-4 Ngemva kwalowo muntu kwavela uJuda waseGalile ezinsukwini zokubalwa kwabantu, wadonsela abantu abaningi ukuba bamlandele; naye wabhubha; bonke abamlalelayo bahlakazeka.

KwabaseRoma 13:6-7 Futhi impela labo abavela emadodaneni kaLevi, abamukela isikhundla sobupristi, banomyalo wokuthatha okweshumi kubantu ngokomthetho, okungukuthi, kubafowabo, noma bevela okhalweni luka-Abrahama: Kodwa lowo ongabalwa ozalweni lwabo wamukela okweshumi ku-Abrahama, wambusisa lowo owayenezithembiso. Futhi ngaphandle kokuphikiswa konke, omncane ubusiswa ngongcono. Futhi lapha abantu abafayo bamukela okweshumi; kodwa lapho uyakwamukela, ofakazelwa ukuthi uyaphila. Futhi njengoba ngingasho, noLevi, owamukela okweshumi, wakhokha okweshumi ngo-Abrahama. KumaHebheru 7:5-9

I-Jasher UKedorlawomere, inkosi yase-Elamu, wasuka emindenini yabantwana bakwaHamu, walwa nabo, wabanqoba, waya emizini emihlanu yasethafeni, walwa nabo, wabanqoba, baba ngaphansi kokulawula kwakhe. Bamkhonza iminyaka eyishumi nambili, bamnika intela yonyaka. UJasher 11:10-11 Ngomnyaka wesihlanu wokuhlala kuka-Abrama ezweni laseKhanani, abantu baseSodoma naseGomora nayo yonke imizi yasethafeni bahlubuka esandleni sikaKedorlawomere, inkosi yaseElamu; ngoba wonke amakhosi emizi yasethafeni ayekhonze uKedorlawomere iminyaka eyishumi nambili, futhi ayemnika intela yonyaka, kodwa ngalezo zinsuku ngonyaka weshumi nantathu, amhlubuka. Jasher 13:11 Siyazi ukuthi kuyisiko lamakhosi ukuqoqa intela yonyaka kwabaphilayo, kodwa awugcini ngokwenza lokhu kuphela, kodwa nakwabafileyo uyababiza intela usuku nosuku. Inkosi yaphendula yathi kuRikayoni: Igama lakho alisayikubizwa ngokuthi iRikayoni, kodwa igama lakho lizoba nguFaro, ngoba uqoqe intela kwabafileyo; waqamba igama lakhe ngokuthi uFaro. URikayoni UFaro wathatha uhulumeni waseGibhithe ngobuqili, waqoqela bonke abakhileyo eGibhithe intela. UJasher 14:19,27,31 U-Abrama nabo bonke abakhe basuka emfuleni iGibhithe, bafika eGibhithe; kwathi bengakangeni emasangweni omuzi, abalindi basukuma bathi kubo: “Nikani inkosi okweshumi kwalokho eninakho, bese ningena emzini.” U-Abrama nalabo ababenaye benza kanjalo. U-Abrama nabantu ababenaye bafika eGibhithe, lapho befika baletha ibhokisi uSarayi ayefihliwe kulo, abaseGibhithe balibona ibhokisi. Izinceku zenkosi zasondela ku-Abrama, zathi: “Unani lapha kuleli bhokisi esingalibonanga? Manje vula ibhokisi bese unika inkosi okweshumi kwakho konke okukulo.” UJasher 15:8-10 Amadodana kaJakobe afunga kubo ukuthi ngeke bangenelele kubo, futhi wonke amakhosi amaKhanani afunga kubo, futhi amadodana kaJakobe abasebenzisa njengezisebenzi kusukela ngalolo suku kuqhubeke. Futhi lonke iGibhithe lalingaphansi kokunakekelwa kukaJosefa, uJosefa walwa nazo zonke izitha zakhe ezazimzungezile, wazinqoba; futhi lonke izwe nawo wonke amaFilisti, kwaze kwaba semingceleni yaseKhanani, uJosefa wawanqoba, futhi bonke babengaphansi kwamandla akhe futhi bamnika uJosefa intela yonyaka. Wonke amazwe amaFilisti neKhanani neSidoni, nangaphesheya kweJordani, aletha izipho kuJosefa zonke izinsuku zakhe, futhi lonke izwe lalisesandleni sikaJosefa, futhi baletha kuye intela yonyaka njengoba kwakunjalo, ngoba uJosefa wayelwe nazo zonke izitha zakhe ezazimzungezile futhi wazinqoba, futhi lonke izwe lalisesandleni sikaJosefa, futhi uJosefa wahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi eGibhithe. Jasher 58:8,12 Kwathi ngonyaka wamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nane, okungumnyaka wamashumi amahlanu wokubusa kukaHadadi, indodana kaBedadi, inkosi yakwa-Edomi, uHadadi wabutha bonke abantwana bakwa-Esawu, wahlela lonke ibutho lakhe, amadoda angaba yizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane, waqonda ezweni lakwaMowabi, waya ukulwa noMowabi, wabasebenzisa njengezisebenzi kuye. Kwathi lapho bonke abantwana bakwaMidiyani sebebhubhile empini, nabantwana bakwaMowabi sebebalekile, uHadadi wabeka bonke abakwaMowabi njengezisebenzi kuye ngaleso sikhathi, baba ngaphansi kwesandla sakhe, futhi babekhipha intela yonyaka njengoba kwakuyaliwe, uHadadi waphenduka wabuyela ezweni lakhe.

Wathumba abaningi kubo wabayisa ngaphansi kobukhosi njengakuqala, wamisa amatende ezweni labo ukuze athathe intela kubo njengenjwayelo. UKikianus walwa nama-Aramu nabantwana basempumalanga, wabanqoba njengakuqala, bamnika intela yabo evamile, wahamba wabuyela ezweni lakhe. UJasher 72:4-5,11 Bonke abantu basempumalanga baphenduka babuyela emuva, uMose nabantwana bakwaKushe babalandela, babanqoba, babathelisa intela, njengomkhuba wabo. Ama-Aramu nawo anqotshwa nguMose nabantu bakwaKushe, futhi anikela ngentela yawo evamile. Jasher 73:43,46 U-Abiyanus wabeka izikhulu kwa-Edomi, bonke abantwana bakwa-Edomi baba yizigqila futhi bakhonza ngaphansi kuka-Abiyanus, u-Abiyanus wabuyela ezweni lakhe, iKitimi. Ngesikhathi sokubusa kwakhe waletha ibutho, wahamba walwa nabakhileyo eBritannia naseKernania, abantwana baka-Elisha indodana kaJavani, wabanqoba wabenza izigqila. UJasher 90:10,29

Lo mthetho ubhaliwe ukuthi ungagcwaliseka unyaka nonyaka ngokudla okweshumi kwesibili phambi kweNkosi endaweni lapho kukhethwe khona, futhi akukho lutho oluzosala kulo kusukela kulo nyaka kuya onyakeni olandelayo. AmaJubili 32:8-11 Konke okweshumi kwezinkomo nezimvu kuyakuba ngcwele kuJehova, kube ngokwabapristi bakhe, abazokudla phambi kwaKhe iminyaka ngeminyaka; ngoba kumiswe futhi kuqoshwe kanjalo mayelana nokweshumi ezibhebheni zasezulwini. AmaJubili 32:15 Wabanqoba, wabakhokhisa intela ukuze bamkhokhele intela, izithelo ezinhlanu zomhlaba wabo, wakha iRobel neTamnatares. AmaJubili 34:8 UJakobe wathumela umbiko emadodaneni akhe ukuthi enze ukuthula, enza ukuthula nawo, wabeka ijoka lobugqila phezu kwawo, kangangokuthi anikela intela kuJakobe nakumadodana akhe njalo.
