Lefatshe la Ditlhogo Tsa Lotso
SETEFANE o ne a simolola puo ya gagwe e e tumileng ka go umaka mafelo mangwe a mmatota: “[Jehofa] o ne a bonala kwa go rraaronamogologolwane Aborahame fa a ne a ntse a le kwa Mesopotamia, pele ga a aga kwa Harana, mme a mo raya a re, ‘Tswa . . . mme o tle mo lefatsheng le ke tla le go bontshang.’” (Dit 7:1-4) Taelo eno e ne ya isa kwa ditiragalong tse di botlhokwa tsa Lefatshe le le Solofeditsweng tse di amanang le Aborahame, Isake le Jakobe, ditiragalo tse di amanang le boikaelelo jwa Modimo jwa go segofatsa batho.—Ge 12:1-3; Jos 24:3.
Modimo o ne a laela Aborahame (kana, Aberame) go tswa kwa Ure wa Bakaladea, motse o mogolo o o neng o humile o ka nako eo o neng o le mo lobopong lo lo kafa botlhaba jwa Noka ya Euferatese. Aberahame o ne a tla tsaya tsela efe? Go tswa kwa Kaladea, naga e gape e bidiwang Sumere kana Shinare, go ka tswa go ne go bonala go tla nna motlhofo go tlhamalalela kwa bophirima. Ke ka ntlha yang fa a ne a tsaya tsela e e potologang go ya Harana?
Ure e ne e le gaufi le karolo e e kafa botlhaba jwa Sekhutlo se se Nonneng, motse o o segogoropo o o simololang kwa Palesetina go ya go fitlha fela kwa mokgatšheng wa dinoka tsa Tigris le Euferatese. Lefelo leno le ka tswa le kile la bo le sa fise thata. Go ela kwa borwa jwa fa sekhutlo se fapogang gone go na le Sekaka sa Seire le Arabia, se se nang le dithota tsa maje a kalaka le dipoa tse di motlhaba. Encyclopædia Britannica ya re e ne e le “legora le go lebegang le ka se thubiwe” le le fa gare ga Lobopo lwa Mediterranean le Mesopotamia. Bagwebi bangwe ba ka tswa ba ne ba kgabaganya go tswa kwa Euferatese go ya kwa Tadamore e re go tswa foo ba ye kwa Damaseko, mme Aborahame ene ga a ka a tsamaisa lelapa la gagwe le diruiwa tsa gagwe mo sekakeng seno.
Go na le moo, Aborahame o ne a tlhatloga ka mokgatšha wa Noka ya Euferatese go ya kwa Harana. Go tswa foo o ne a tsamaya ka tsela ya bagwebi go ya kwa letsibogong le le kwa Karakemishe mme a leba kwa borwa go ya go feta gaufi le Damaseko a ba a tswelela pele go ya kwa go se se neng sa bidiwa Lewatle la Galalea. Via Maris, kgotsa “Tsela ya Lewatle,” e ne e feta fa Megido e ya kwa Egepeto. Le fa go ntse jalo, Aborahame o ne a ralala dithaba tsa Samarea, mme la bofelo a thibelela kwa Shekema. Fa nako e ntse e ile, o ne a tswelela go ya ntlheng ya borwa a tsamaya ka tsela e e yang kwa nageng eo e e dithaba. Tsamaya le ene fa o ntse o bala Genesise 12:8–13:4. Ela tlhoko mafelo a mangwe a a neng a ntse a tsamaya mo go one fa a ntse a tla a lebana le maemo a a farologaneng: Dana, Damaseko, Hoba, Mamere, Sodoma, Gerare, Beere-sheba, le Moria (Jerusalema).—Ge 14:14-16; 18:1-16; 20:1-18; 21:25-34; 22:1-19.
Go tlhaloganya mangwe a mafelo ano go go thusa go tlhaloganya ditiragalo dingwe mo matshelong a boIsake le boJakobe. Ka sekai, fa Aborahame a ne a le kwa Beere-sheba, o ne a romela motlhanka wa gagwe kae gore a ye go batlela Isake mosadi? O ne a mo romela kwa karolong e e kgakala thata ya bokone, e e kwa Mesopotamia (mo go rayang, “Lefatshe Le le Mo Gare ga Dinoka”) kwa Padana-arama. Go tswa foo akanya ka mosepele o o lapisang o Rebeka a neng a o tsaya ka kamela a ya kwa Negebe, gongwe gaufi le Kadeshe, go ya go kopana le Isake.—Ge 24:10, 62-64.
Moragonyana morwaabone, e bong Jakobe (Iseraele) o ne a tsamaya one mosepele o moleele fela jalo gore a ye go nyala moobamedi wa ga Jehofa. Jakobe o ne a tsamaya ka tsela e e batlang e farologane go sekae go boela kwa lefatsheng la gaabo. Fa Jakobe a sena go kgabaganya Jaboke gaufi le Penuele, o ne a mekamekana le moengele. (Ge 31:21-25; 32:2, 22-30) Esau o ne a kopana le ene mo lefelong leo, mme morago ga moo mongwe le mongwe wa bone o ne a ya go nna go sele.—Ge 33:1, 15-20.
Fa morwadia Jakobe e bong Dina a sena go betelelwa kwa Shekema, Jakobe o ne a fudugela kwa Bethele. Mme gone, a o kgona go bona gore bomorwa Jakobe ba ne ba tsamaya sekgala se se kae go ya go fudisa letsomane la gagwe, kwa kgabagare Josefa a neng a ba fitlhela gone? Mmapa ono (le o o mo go tsebe 18-19) o ka go thusa go bona sekgala se se fa gare ga Bethele le Dothane. (Ge 35:1-8; 37:12-17) Bomogoloe Josefa ba ne ba mo rekisa mo bagwebing ba ba neng ba ya kwa Egepeto. O akanya gore ba ne ba tsamaya ka tsela efe mo tiragalong eno e e neng ya dira gore Baiseraele ba fudugele kwa Egepeto le Phudugo ya bone?—Ge 37:25-28.
