Esa akɛ aha kpɛkpɛoyeli lɛ “ahi shi aha gbɔ kɛ awusã kɛ okulafo.” (5 Mose 24:19-21) Mose Mla lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ: “Nyɛkawaa yoo okulafo ko loo awusã ko yi.” (2 Mose 22:22, 23) Okulafoi kɛ awusãi ni awieɔ amɛhe yɛ Biblia lɛ mli lɛ damɔ shi kɛha gbɔmɛi ni yeɔ ohia lɛ yɛ gbɛ ni ja nɔ, akɛni yɛ amɛwumɛi kɛ tsɛmɛi aloo fɔlɔi enyɔ lɛ fɛɛ agbele hewɔ lɛ, ekolɛ ashi weku ni yɔɔ wala mli lɛ kome too ni amɛmiiye ohia lɛ.
