Nanso, na atemmufo a wosuro Nyankopɔn no betumi de afotu pa ama wɔn mfɛfo gyidifo efisɛ na egyina Yehowa Mmara so.—Deuteronomium 19:15; Dwom 119:97-100.

Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Monnhwɛ nnipa anim atemmu mu, muntie aketewa sɛ ɔkɛse, munnsuro onipa anim, efisɛ atemmu yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.’ Yiw, na Israel atemmufo redi asɛm ama Onyankopɔn.

5. Atemmufo a na wɔpaw akyi no, nsiesiei foforo bɛn na Yehowa yɛe a na ɔde bɛhwɛ ne man so?

Afei nso ɔhyehyɛɛ asɔfokuw a wɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ Mmara, wɔde mmoa bɛbɔ afɔre, na wɔahyew aduhuam anɔpa ne anwummere. Onyankopɔn sii Mose nua panyin, Aaron, sɛ Israel ɔsɔfo panyin a odi kan, na ɔpaw Aaron mma sɛ wɔmmoa wɔn agya wɔ ne nnwuma mu.—Exodus 28:1; Numeri 3:10; 2 Beresosɛm 13:10, 11.

6 Nnipa ɔpepem pii ahiade a na wobedi ho dwuma no nna fam, nanso na asɔfo no nnɔɔso koraa. Enti wɔyɛɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ wɔbɛma Lewi abusua no mufo afoforo aboa wɔn. Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ: “Fa Lewifo no ma Aaron ne ne mma no, wɔde wɔn ama no koraa afi Israelfo mu.”—Numeri 3:9, 39.

Nanso, ɛmfa ho sɛ na Lewini bi yɛ Kehatni anaa ɔfoforo no, wɔn nyinaa nyaa hokwan a na ɛyɛ anigye. (Numeri 1:51, 53) Awerɛhosɛm ne sɛ, wɔn mu binom ani ansɔ hokwan a na wɔwɔ no.

Ɛbɛyɛ sɛ adwuma a na Kora yɛ no ma ɔbɛnee Aaron ne ne mma no. (Numeri 4:18, 19) Ɛbɛyɛ sɛ saa mmarima yi sintɔ ahorow a Kora hui no ma osusuwii sɛ: ‘Asɔfo yi tɔ sin ankasa, nanso wɔhwɛ kwan sɛ mɛbrɛ me ho ase ahyɛ wɔn ase! Ɛnkyɛe koraa na Aaron yɛɛ nantwi ba honi. Saa honi no a yɛn nkurɔfo somee no ma wɔyɛɛ abosonsomfo. Seesei, Mose nua Aaron, resom sɛ ɔsɔfo panyin! Animhwɛ bɛn ara ni!

Hwɛ, wɔdaa animtiaabu a ɛkɔ akyiri adi wɔ ɔsom hokwan a na wɔwɔ no ho ma Yehowa kum wɔn!’a (Exodus 32:1-5; Leviticus 10:1, 2) Sɛnea na Kora nsusuwii te biara no, ɛda adi sɛ ofii ase de nnipa adwene susuw asɔfodi no ho. Ɛno na ɛma ɔtew atua tiaa Mose ne Aaron, na awiei koraa no, ɔtew atua tiaa Yehowa no.—1 Samuel 15:23; Yakobo 1:14, 15.

Ɔne Datan ne Abiram nyaa nnipa a na wɔne wɔn yɛ adwene 250—na wɔn nyinaa yɛ bagua no so mmapɔmma. Wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron anim kɔkae sɛ: “Asafo mu yi nyinaa yɛ nnipa kronkron, obiara biara, na [Yehowa, NW] wɔ wɔn mu; na ɛdɛn nti na moma mo ho so [Yehowa, NW] bagua so?”—Numeri 16:1-3.

Sɛnea Numeri 12:1, 2 kyerɛ no, wobisae sɛ: “So Mose nko so na [Yehowa, NW] nam kasa, na ɔmfa yɛn so nso nkasa?” Na Yehowa retie. Ɔhyɛɛ Mose, Aaron, ne Miriam sɛ wonhyiam wɔ ahyiae ntamadan no anim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Ɔbɛkyerɛ nea wapaw no sɛ kannifo. Afei Yehowa kaa no pefee sɛ: “Sɛ [Yehowa, NW] diyifo bi wɔ mo mu a, adehu mu na mema ohu me, ɔdae mu na mekasa mekyerɛ no: Ɛnyɛ sɛ m’akoa Mose te ne no, wɔde me fi nyinaa ahyɛ ne nsa.” Ɛno akyi no, Yehowa maa Miriam yaree kwata bere tiaa bi mu.—Numeri 12:4-7, 10.

12. Sɛ na Israel bɛkɔ so ne Onyankopɔn anya abusuabɔ pa a, na egyina dɛn so?
12 Bere a Yehowa de Mmara no maa Israel no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ sɛ wotie no a, wɔbɛyɛ “ɔman kronkron” ne sɛ, bere tenten a ɔman no bɛkɔ so agye Yehowa nhyehyɛe atom no, wɔbɛyɛ kronkron. (Exodus 19:5, 6) Nanso afei a wɔrebɛtew atua pefee yi, na bere aso sɛ Israel Temmufo ne Mmarahyɛfo yi de ne ho gye asɛm no mu! Mose ka kyerɛɛ Kora sɛ: “Wo ne w’asafo no nyinaa mmra [Yehowa, NW] anim, wo ne wɔn ne Aaron mmra ɔkyena; na mo mu biara mfa ne kukuwa, na ɔmfa aduhuam ngu so, na obiara mfa ne kukuwa mmra [Yehowa, NW] anim, nkukuwa ahanu aduonum; na wo nso, ne Aaron, obiara mfa ne kukuwa mmra.”—Numeri 16:16, 17.

(Exodus 30:7; Numeri 4:16) Nanso Kora ne n’akyitaafo no ante nka saa! Ade kyee no, ‘ɔmaa asafo mũ no nyinaa bɔɔ Mose ne Aaron so gua hyiae ntamadan no ano.’ Kyerɛwtohɔ no ka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ: “[Yehowa, NW] kasa kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ: Montwe mo ho mfi asafo yi mu, na memmene wɔn afrɛso.” Nanso Mose ne Aaron srɛe sɛ ɔmfa ɔman no ho nkyɛ wɔn. Yehowa tiee wɔn adesrɛ no. Nanso Kora ne ne dɔm no de, “ogya fii [Yehowa, NW] nkyɛn bɛhyew mmarima ahanu aduonum a wɔde aduhuam no bae no.”—Numeri 16:19-22, 35.c

Awiei koraa no, Yehowa abodwokyɛre sae. Ná obiara—Mose anaa Aaron mpo—ntumi nsrɛ mma ɔman no afei. Yehowa maa ɔyaredɔm sii asoɔdenfo no mu, “na nnipa a wowuwui ɔyaredɔm no mu ano si mpem dunnan ne ahanson, ɛsono wɔn a Kora asɛm no nti wowuwui no.”—Numeri 16:41-49.
