Intsingiselo yesiprofeto seenkomo eBhayibhileni.
Isilwanyana esadlala indima ebalulekileyo kuqoqosho lwamaSirayeli, kuba ukongeza ekusebenzeni njenge rhamncwa lomthwalo, yayixatyiswa ngemveliso yobisi, ekulungiselelwa kuyo ezinye iimveliso zokutya zemihla ngemihla, ezinje ngeshizi, ibhotolo kunye nobisi olunotyiweyo. (Num 19: 2; Isa 7:21, 22.) Kwakhona, izinto ezahlukeneyo zesikhumba zinokwenziwa nolusu.
Ngamanye amaxesha ebebingelela ngamathokazi. (Ge 15: 9; 1Sa 6:14; 16: 2.) Kwelinye icala, uthuthu lwenkomo ebomvu olwalutshisa ngaphandle kwenkampu lwaluyinxalenye yamanzi acocayo. (Num 19: 2, 6, 9.) Kwimeko yokubulala okungasonjululwanga, amadoda amadala amele isixeko esikufutshane nolwaphulo-mthetho kwakufuneka abulale ithokazi kwintlambo engalinywanga kwaye ahlambe izandla kwisidumbu ngelixa engqina ukuba umsulwa kulwaphulo-mthetho. (Dut. 21: 1-9.)
KwiZibhalo, inkomo okanye ithokazi lisetyenziswa kwimizekeliso amaxesha amaninzi. Ngokomzekelo, iinkomo ezisixhenxe ezityebileyo neenkomo ezisixhenxe ezinqinileyo ezisephupheni likaFaro zazibhekisela kwiminyaka esixhenxe yendyebo elandelwa zezinye ezisixhenxe zendlala. (Ge 41:26, 27.) USamson ukwathelekise umlingane wakhe kunye ne-veal yepropathi yakhe apho amaqabane omtshato angama-30 ayelime khona ukufezekisa isisombululo semfihlakalo yabo. (Ukuwa 14:11, 12, 18.)
Abafazi baseBhashan, ababephanga kwaye bethanda ubunewunewu, babebizwa ngokuba ziinkomo zaseBhashan. (Am 3:15; 4: 1)
Kwelinye icala, u-Efrain wayethelekiswa nethole lenkomo eliqeqeshiweyo elalithanda ukubhula (Ho 10:11) , uthelekiso oluthatha ukubaluleka ngakumbi xa sijonga ukuba izilwanyana ezazibhula azizange zibotshwe umlomo, ke zinokutya ukutya okuziinkozo, kwaye ke zifumane izibonelelo ngokuthe ngqo nangoko zomsebenzi wazo.
(Dut. 25: 4.) Ngenxa yokuba uSirayeli wayetyebile ngenxa yentsikelelo kaThixo, wakhaba, wavukela uYehova. (Ukususela kuma-32: 12-15.) Ngenxa yoko, inkomo eneenkani enganqweneli kuthwala idyokhwe ithelekiswa ngokufanelekileyo. (Ho 4:16. IYiputa ifana nethokazi lenkomo elihle eliya kuba yintlekele ezandleni zamaBhabhiloni.
(Yer 46:20, 21, 26.) Xa iBhabhiloni yaphanga uYuda, ‘ilifa likaThixo’, bafaniswa nethokazi lomlilo elalimba kwingca ethambileyo. (Yer 50:11.)
Iimeko ezizolileyo ezibangelwe lulawulo lukaMesiya, uYesu Krestu, zimelwe ngokwaneleyo kwesi siprofetho ngobudlelwane bobuhlobo phakathi kwenkomo, ethambileyo, nebhere, isilwanyana esikhohlakeleyo. (Isa. 11: 7.)
Intsingiselo yokuphupha ngeenkomo
Iinkomo ziluphawu lwakudala emaphupheni.
Khawukhumbule nje isicatshulwa seBhayibhile esithetha ngeenkomo ezisixhenxe ezityebileyo kunye neenkomo ezisixhenxe ezinqinileyo, iphupha likaFaro waseYiputa elidlalwa nguYosefu, omnye woonyana bakaYakobi.
Ke, olu phawu lwakudala kunye nolwesiko namhlanje luthathwa njengesiqhelo.
Ukuphupha amanqatha kunye neenkomo ezintle zibonisa ukuba kulowo uphuphayo, yonke into ihamba kakuhle, kwaye ke iya kuqhubeka, ubuncinci kwikamva elikufutshane.
Eli phupha kumfazi linokuthetha ukuba iminqweno yakhe iya kuzaliseka.
Iphupha lokusenga iinkomo zisempilweni, kwaye iihooter zicebisa ukuba imicimbi yabo iya kuthiumoyaemva.
Ukuphupha iinkomo ezinqinileyo kwiindawo ezinengca ebuthathaka kufanekisela okwahlukileyo.
Ukuphupha kweenkomo ugxampuza iinkomo kucebisa ukuba imicimbi yabo iya kusuka ebubini ukuya kokubi ngenxa yokunqongophala kolawulo kwaye basoyikisa ukwenza ilahleko ebonakalayo.
Ukuphupha ngokusenga iinkomo kuthetha ukulangazelela inzuzo, ukutyeba ngokukhawuleza, ukonwaba, kunye nokonwaba, kodwa ukuba inkomo ngandlela ithile iphosa okanye ichithe ubisi olusengwayo, oko kuthetha umngcipheko wokungaphumeleli kwimisebenzi yayo.
Nangona kunjalo, ukuba iinkomo zibhityile kwaye ziyagula, intsingiselo iya kuba ngokuchaseneyo.
Ukuphupha iinkomo ezimnyama, ezimdaka, ezinqinileyo kunye nezigulayo akuthethi nantoni na elungileyo.
Ukuphupha iinkomo ezimhlophe kwaye zisempilweni kuhlala kusisithembiso sempumelelo kwikamva elikufutshane.
Xa ithole elinye okanye nangaphezulu zibonwa emaphupheni, sisilumkiso ukuba ukuphoxeka okukhohlakeleyo kuyakufunyanwa kumntu owayehlonitshwe kakhulu.
Ukuphupha iinkomo kuyakuhlala kungumqondiso olungileyo. Ukuba sibona umhlambi omkhulu kwaye izilwanyana zikwimeko entle, inzuzo iya kuba ninzi; kwimeko yokubona izilwanyana ezimbalwa kwaye ziyagula, zisaza kubakho iinzuzo, kodwa ziya kuba ngaphantsi kwento ebesiyilindele.
