Mosesi akanga achienda kuIjipiti nomudzimai wake, Zipora, nevanakomana vake, Gershomi naEriyezeri, pakaitika chiitiko ichi chinotevera: “Vachiri panzira, pavakanga vavata, Jehovha akasongana naye, akatsvaka kumuuraya. Ipapo Zipora akatora ibwe rinopinza, akacheka rukanda rwapamberi rwomwanakomana wake, akarukanda patsoka dzake, akati: Zvirokwazvo, uri chikomba cheropa kwandiri. Naizvozvo wakamurega. Ipapo akati: Uri chikomba cheropa nokuda kwokudzingiswa.” (Eksodho 4:20, 24-26) Kunyange zvazvo chikamu ichi chisina kunyatsojeka uye zvisiri nyore kuva nechokwadi nezvachinoreva, Magwaro anojekesa ndima idzi.

Mashoko aZipora okuti “uri chikomba cheropa kwandiri” haana kujairika. Anoratidzei nezvake? Nokuita kwake zvaidiwa nesungano yokudzingiswa, Zipora akabvuma ukama hwesungano naJehovha. Sungano yoMutemo yakazoitwa nevaIsraeri yakaratidza kuti muukama hwesungano, Jehovha anogona kunzi ndiye murume uye vamwe vacho vova mudzimai. (Jeremia 31:32) Saka, paakataura kuna Jehovha (achishandisa ngirozi yaimumiririra) achiti “chikomba cheropa,” Zipora akaratidza kuti aibvuma kuzviisa pasi kuzvinodiwa zvesungano iyoyo. Zvaiita sokuti akanga abvuma nzvimbo yomudzimai musungano yokudzingiswa, Jehovha Mwari ari iye murume. Chero zvazvingava, nokuda kwechiito chake chinokosha chokuteerera zvaidiwa naMwari, upenyu hwomwanakomana wake hwakanga husisiri pangozi.
