Zvibvumirano Zvokuyamwisa

Vanamai vaiwanzoyamwisa vana vavo chete. Zvisinei, imwe nyanzvi inonzi Brevard Childs muJournal of Biblical Literature inoti, “mune zvimwe zviitiko mumhuri dzeimba dzoumambo [pedyo Nokumabvazuva] muyamwisi aipinzwa basa kwekanguva. Izvi zvaiwanzoitwawo kana amai vacho vaisakwanisa kuyamwisa mwana wavo kana kuti amai vacho vaisazivikanwa. Muyamwisi wacho aipiwa basa rokurera mwana wacho nokumuyamwisawo kwenguva yakatarwa.” Zvibvumirano zvakawanda zvokuyamwisa zvakanyorwa panhokwe zvichiripo kuNear East yekare. Zvinyorwa izvi zvinopupurira waichimbova muitiro wakapararira kubvira munguva dzevanhu vokuSumer kusvika nguva dzechiHellenistic dzava kunopera. Zvinhu zvinowanika pazvinyorwa izvi mashoko evanhu vaiita zvibvumirano izvi, kureba kwezvibvumirano zvacho, mashandirwo ebasa racho, mirayiridzo yokuyamwisa nokudyisa, mari yairipwa kana watyora chibvumirano chacho, mari yaitambirwa, uye mabhadharirwo ayaiitwa. Kunenge kuti, “kuyamwisa kwaisvika makore maviri kana matatu,” anotsanangura kudaro Childs. “Muyamwisi airerera mwana wacho mumusha wake, asi dzimwe nguva aifanirwa kuenda nemwana wacho kumuridzi kuti aongororwe.”
