Kwathi kusukela osukwini umphongolo owahlala ngalo eKiriyati Jeharimi , kwaba yisikhathi eside , ngokuba saba yiminyaka engamashumi amabili ; yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli yakhalela uJehova.

Isikhathi uJehu abus a ngaso kwa -Israyeli, eSamariya saba yiminyaka engamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili.

Ngakho bathi abaJuda : Leli thempeli kwaba yiminyaka engamashumi amane nesithupha lakhiwa, wena-ke uzakulivusa ngezinsuku ezintathu na?

Ukuhamba kukaSara kwaba yiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa; yileyo iminyaka yokuhamba kukaSara.

Wayesethi uJehova: UMoya wami awuyikubusa njalo kumuntu , njengokuba eyinyama nje ; izinsuku zakhe ziyakuba yiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili.

Uyakuzibalela amasabatha ayisikhombisa eminyaka , iminyaka eyisikhombisa iphindwe kasikhombisa , kube kuwe izin suku zamasabatha ayisikhombisa eminyaka , kube yiminyaka engamashumi amane nesishiyagalolunye.
