Ukubhula ngezinombolo kweBhayibheli ukufunda izinombolo ngazinye emBhalweni. Ihlobene ikakhulukazi nencazelo yeBhayibheli yezinombolo, kokubili ezingokoqobo nezingokomfanekiso. Izazi ezisadla ngoludala zihlala ziqaphile mayelana nokunikeza ukubaluleka okukhulu encazelweni yezinombolo eziseBhayibhelini. Ukuchazwa okunjalo kuye kwaholela amanye amaqembu ekweqiseni okuyimfihlakalo nangokwemfundiso yenkolo, izinombolo ezikholelwayo zingadalula ikusasa noma zembule ulwazi olufihliwe. La maqembu angena ajule endaweni eyingozi yokubhula.
Namuhla, le mikhuba isekhona “njengokubhula ngezinombolo kweBhayibheli,” inkolelo evamile yokuthi uNkulunkulu wembula izincazelo ezicashile ngezinombolo ezilotshwe eBhayibhelini. Kunamawebhusayithi nezincwadi ezingenakubalwa ezinikelwe ekuchazeni izimfihlakalo zaphezulu ngokufaka izibalo zokuqamba emavesini eBhayibheli.
Izazi zeBhayibheli ezijulile ziyashesha ukukuchitha ukubhula ngezinombolo njengokuwukudlala, kodwa hhayi njengendlela engokomthetho yokuhumusha imibhalo noma ukubamba amaqiniso angokomoya. UDavis, umKristu okholwayo owabhala incwadi okukhulunywe ngayo ngenhla ephathelene nokubhula ngezinombolo kweBhayibheli, waphetha ngokuthi “sonke isimiso kumelwe sinqatshwe njengendlela efanelekile yokuchaza incazelo yeBhayibheli [incazelo ebucayi yeBhayibheli]” nokuthi “izincazelo ezinjalo zimane nje ziwumgunyathi futhi azinangqondo futhi azinangqondo. indawo emfundisweni yenkolo yobuKristu.
Abantu bawo wonke amasiko namasiko bebelokhu bekhangwa izinombolo. Bakholelwa ukuthi izinombolo zingafihla imiyalezo eminingi ebalulekile futhi zisitshele nokuningi ngekusasa lethu. Yiqiniso, lokhu akusho ukuthi inombolo ngayinye evela phambi kwakho inencazelo ethile kanye nomfanekiso.
Kodwa-ke, lawo avela izikhathi eziningi, ngaphandle kwanoma iyiphi indawo phambi kwakho, cishe anento azokutshela yona, kuyilapho kukuwe ukuthola imiyalezo ngemuva kwakho. Izinombolo zingaba nezincazelo ezivamile, kodwa eziseBhayibhelini zinomyalezo ojulile, futhi leso isici esizosihlanganisa manje kulesi sihloko.
Kube nzima kakhulu kubantu abaningi ukwazi ukuthi amaphupho asebenza kanjani nokuthi ukuphupha inombolo kufanele kuthathwe njengokubalulekile yini. Umvangeli uJoshua wahlola iBhayibheli futhi wathola ukuthi lelo nani ladlala indima enhle emaphusheni ethu. Kuyaziwa ukuthi abantu abaningi bebelokhu besesha iwebhu ukuze babheke amaphupho ezinombolo. Hewu Nkosi yami. Ngokungafani nencazelo ye-Alfabhethi yephupho, inombolo inencazelo yayo engokomoya engaqondakali kubacwaningi abaningi bamaphupho. Inombolo emaphusheni yizimpawu, ukuhleleka nokuchichima. Izehlakalo zale ncwadi zaqala ngonyaka wesibili ngemva kokuba ama-Israyeli ephumile eGibhithe, njengoba ekanise eNtabeni yaseSinayi cishe ngo-1444 BC (Numeri 1:1). Ukulandisa kwaphela eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili kamuva “emathafeni akwaMowabi ngaseJordani malungana neJeriko” (36:13) ngo-1406 BC. Incwadi kaNumeri ilandisa ngokuzulazula isikhathi eside kwabantu ogwadule lwaseSinayi, isikhathi sabo endaweni evundile yaseKadeshi-barneya, nokufika kwabo ekugcineni osebeni loMfula iJordani ngaphesheya kweZwe Lesithembiso.
Ngaphezu nje kwesifundo somlando, incwadi kaNumeri yembula indlela uNkulunkulu akhumbuza ngayo u-Israyeli ukuthi akakubekezeleli ukuhlubuka, ukukhononda, nokungakholwa ngaphandle kokuletha imiphumela. Wafundisa abantu Bakhe indlela yokuhamba Naye—hhayi nje ngezinyawo zabo ehlane kodwa ngemilomo yabo ekukhulekeleni, izandla zabo enkonzweni, nokuphila njengofakazi ezizweni ezizungezile. WayenguNkulunkulu wabo, babengabantu baKhe, futhi Wayelindele ukuthi benze njengalokho.
Abafundi banamuhla bangakwazi ukususa incwadi kaNumeri hhayi nje umlando ophelele wezinsuku zokuqala zama-Israyeli kodwa nomuzwa ovuselelwe wenjabulo kaNkulunkulu yokulalela. UnguNkulunkulu wethu, futhi, futhi ufuna siphile ngokulunga, simkhonze ngamazwi nangemisebenzi yethu.
