I-Pentateuch UNkulunkulu wenza izibani ezimbili ezinkulu; isibani esikhulu ukubusa imini, nesibani esincane ukubusa ubusuku; wenza nezinkanyezi. Genesise 1:16 Wamkhiphela ngaphandle, wathi: “Bheka ngasezulwini, ubale izinkanyezi, uma ukwazi ukuzibala.” Wathi kuye: “Inzalo yakho iyakuba njalo.” Genesise 15:5 Ukuthi ekukubusiseni ngizokubusisa, futhi ngokwandisa inzalo yakho ngizoyandisa njengezinkanyezi zezulu, nanjengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle; futhi inzalo yakho iyothatha isango lezitha zayo; Genesise 22:17 Ngiyokwandisa inzalo yakho njengezinkanyezi zezulu, ngiyinike inzalo yakho wonke la mazwe; futhi ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziyakubusiswa; Genesise 26:4 Waphupha elinye iphupho, walilandisa abafowabo, wathi: “Bhekani, ngiphuphe elinye iphupho; bhekani, ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi eziyishumi nanye kwangikhothamela.” Genesise 37:9 Khumbula u-Abrahama, u-Isaka, no-Israyeli, izinceku zakho, owazifunga wena kuzo, wathi kuzo: ‘Ngiyakwandisa inzalo yenu ibe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu,’ futhi lonke leli zwe engikhulume ngalo ngizolinika inzalo yenu, futhi iyolidla kuze kube phakade.’ Eksodusi 32:13 Ngizombona, kodwa hhayi manje; ngizombona, kodwa hhayi eduze; kuyovela inkanyezi kuJakobe, nentonga yobukhosi iyovuka kwa-Israyeli, iyoshaya izingxenye zikaMowabi, ibhubhise bonke abantwana bakwaSheti. Numeri 24:17 UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unandisile, bhekani, namuhla ningangezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi.

Isiprofetho Ngoba izinkanyezi zezulu nezinkanyezi zazo ngeke zikhanyise; ilanga liyofiphala ekuphumeni kwalo, nenyanga ngeke ikhanyise ukukhanya kwayo. Isaya 13:10 Ngoba uthe enhliziyweni yakho, Ngizokhuphukela ezulwini, ngizophakamisa isihlalo sami sobukhosi ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; Ngizohlala futhi entabeni yomhlangano, emaphethelweni asenyakatho.

Wandise abathengisi bakho ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi zezulu; inkumbi iyaphanga, indiza imuke. UNahume 3:16

AmaVangeli kanye nezEnzo Bathi, “Uphi lowo ozelwe eyiNkosi yamaJuda?” Ngoba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe empumalanga, size ukuzomkhonza. Khona uHerode, esebize izazi ngasese, wabuza kuzo ngokucophelela isikhathi inkanyezi ebonakele ngaso. Sezizwile inkosi, zahamba; bheka, inkanyezi ababeyibona empumalanga

yahamba phambi kwazo, yaze yafika yema phezu kwalapho umntwana ekhona. Sebeyibonile inkanyezi, bathokoza kakhulu. Mathewu 2:2 , 7 , 9, 10 Masinyane emva kosizi lwalezo zinsuku ilanga liyofiphala, nenyanga ngeke ikhanyise, nezinkanyezi ziyowa ezulwini, namandla asezulwini azanyazanyiswa. Mathewu 24:29 Izinkanyezi zezulu ziyakuwa, namandla asezulwini ayakuzanyazanyiswa. UMarku 13:25 Kuyakuba khona izibonakaliso elangeni, nasenyangeni, nasezinkanyezini; nasemhlabeni usizi lwezizwe, ngokudideka; ulwandle namaza luduma; ULuka 21:25 Yebo, nathatha itabernakele likaMoloki nenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRemfan, imifanekiso enayenza ukuba niyikhulekele; ngiyakuniyisa ngale kweBabiloni.

Izincwadi Kukhona inkazimulo eyodwa yelanga, nenkazimulo yenyanga, nenkazimulo yezinkanyezi enye; ngokuba inkanyezi eyodwa ihlukile kwenye ngenkazimulo. 1 KwabaseKhorinte 15:41 Ngakho-ke kwavela ngisho koyedwa, naye owayefana nofile, abaningi njengezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi, nanjengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle esingenakubalwa.

UJuda 1:13

IsAmbulo Wayephethe izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sakhe sokunene, emlonyeni wakhe kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali esika nhlangothi zombili, nobuso bakhe babunjengokukhanya kwelanga ngamandla alo. Imfihlakalo yezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ozibonile esandleni sami sokunene, nezibani zegolide eziyisikhombisa. Izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ziyizingelosi zamabandla ayisikhombisa: nezibani zegolide eziyisikhombisa ziyizibandla eziyisikhombisa. IsAmbulo 1:16 , 20 Ingelosi yebandla lase-Efesu loba ukuthi: Nakhu akushoyo ophethe izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sakhe sokunene, ohamba phakathi kwezibani zegolide eziyisikhombisa; IsAmbulo 2:1 Futhi ngizomnika inkanyezi yokusa. IsAmbulo 2:28 Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseSardesi loba ukuthi: “Nakhu akushoyo onawoMoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu nezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa, uthi: Ngiyazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi unegama lokuthi uyaphila, kanti ufile.” IsAmbulo 3:1

Izinkanyezi zezulu zawela emhlabeni, njengomkhiwane uvuthulula amakhiwane awo angavuthiwe, lapho unyakaziswa ngumoya onamandla. IsAmbulo 6:13 Ingelosi yesithathu yayisibetha, kwawa inkanyezi enkulu ezulwini, ivutha njengesibani, yawela phezu kwengxenye yesithathu yemifula naphezu kwemithombo yamanzi; Igama lenkanyezi libizwa ngokuthi uMhlonyane; okwesithathu kwamanzi kwaba ngumhlonyane; abantu abaningi bafa ngamanzi, ngokuba enziwe ababa. Ingelosi yesine yashaya, kwashaywa ingxenye yesithathu yelanga, nengxenye yesithathu yenyanga, nengxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi, ukuze ingxenye yesithathu yazo ifiphale, nemini ingakhanyi ingxenye yesithathu yayo, nobusuku ngokunjalo. IsAmbulo 8: 1012 Ingelosi yesihlanu yayisibetha, ngabona inkanyezi ivela ezulwini iwela emhlabeni, yanikwa isihluthulelo somgodi ongenamkhawulo. IsAmbulo 9:1 Kwabonakala isibonakaliso esikhulu ezulwini; owesifazane embethe ilanga, nenyanga iphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, nasekhanda lakhe kukhona umqhele wezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili. Umsila wakhe wadonsa ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi zezulu, waziphonsa emhlabeni; nodrako wema phambi kowesifazane obesezakubeletha, ukuze ashwabadele umntwana wakhe nxa esezelwe. IsAmbulo 12: 1,4 Mina Jesu ngithumile ingelosi yami ukufakaza kini lezi zinto emabandleni. Ngiyimpande nenzalo kaDavide, nenkanyezi yokusa ekhanyayo. IsAmbulo 22:16

I-Apocrypha Ngosuku lwesine wayala ukuba ilanga likhanye, inyanga ikhanyise, nezinkanyezi zihleleke kahle. 2 U-Ezra 6:45 Nokuthi ubuso balabo abaye bazithiba buyokhanya ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi, kuyilapho ubuso bethu buyoba mnyama kunobumnyama? 2 U-Ezra 7:55 Bazoshayana, futhi bazoshaya izinkanyezi eziningi emhlabeni, ngisho nenkanyezi yabo; futhi igazi liyoba khona kusukela enkembeni kuze kube esiswini, Futhi imimoya enamandla iyovuka ivela empumalanga, iyivule; futhi ifu aliphakamisa ngentukuthelo, kanye nenkanyezi eyanyakaziswa ukuze ibangele ukwesaba emoyeni wasempumalanga nasentshonalanga, kuyobhujiswa. Amafu amakhulu nanamandla ayokhukhumala agcwele ulaka, kanye nenkanyezi, ukuze benze wonke umhlaba wethuke, kanye nabakhileyo kuwo; futhi bayothulula phezu kwazo zonke izindawo eziphakeme neziphakeme inkanyezi esabekayo, Bazofika kuyo, bayivimbezele, inkanyezi nayo yonke intukuthelo bayoyithululela phezu kwayo; khona-ke uthuli nomusi kuyokhuphukela ezulwini, nabo bonke abazungezile bayoyikhalela. 2 U-Ezra 15:35 ,39-40,44 Ezwini lakhe izinkanyezi zenziwa, futhi uyazi inani lazo. 2 U-Ezra 16:56 Izifunda zeminyaka, kanye nezikhundla zezinkanyezi: Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni 7:19 Ngoba muhle kakhulu kunelanga, futhi ngaphezu kwazo zonke izinkanyezi: uma kuqhathaniswa nokukhanya, utholakala ngaphambi kwalo. Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni 7:29

Wanika abalungileyo umvuzo womsebenzi wabo, wabahola ngendlela emangalisayo, waba yisivikelo kubo emini, nokukhanya kwezinkanyezi ebusuku; Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni 10:17 Kodwa wabheka umlilo, noma umoya, noma umoya osheshayo, noma indilinga yezinkanyezi, noma amanzi anamandla, noma izibani zezulu, njengonkulunkulu ababusa umhlaba. Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni 13:2 Akukho mandla omlilo ayengabakhanyisela: futhi amalangabi akhanyayo ezinkanyezi ayengenakukwazi ukukhanyisa lobo busuku obubi. Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni 17:5 Ubuhle bezulu, inkazimulo yezinkanyezi, umhlobiso okhanyisa ezindaweni eziphakeme zeNkosi. UmShumayeli 43:9 Ngakho-ke wamqinisekisa ngesifungo, ukuthi uzobusisa izizwe ngenzalo yakhe, nokuthi uzoyandisa ibe njengothuli lomhlaba, aphakamise inzalo yakhe njengezinkanyezi, futhi ayenze ifa kusukela olwandle kuze kube solwandle, kusukela emfuleni kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba. UmShumayeli 44:21 Wayenjengenkanyezi yokusa phakathi kwefu, nanjengenyanga egcwele: UmShumayeli 50:6 Izinkanyezi zakhanya emilindweni yazo, zajabula; lapho ezibiza, zithi, Nasi, ngakho-ke zakhanyisa ngenjabulo lowo owazenzayo. UBharuki 3:34 Ngoba ilanga, inyanga, nezinkanyezi, njengoba zikhanya futhi zithunyelwe ukwenza izikhundla zazo, ziyalalela. Incwadi kaJeremiya 1:60 Owakhuluma kubo futhi wabathembisa ukuthi uzokwandisa inzalo yabo njengezinkanyezi zezulu, nanjengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle. Umthandazo ka-Azariya 1:13 Nina zinkanyezi zezulu, mbongeni uJehova: mdumiseni nimphakamise ngaphezu kwakho konke kuze kube phakade. Umthandazo ka-Azariya 1:41 Futhi indoda, eyayicabanga ukuthi ingafinyelela ezinkanyezini zezulu, akekho owayengabekezelela ukulithwala ngenxa yephunga layo elingabekezeleleki. 2 AmaMaccabees 9:10

U-Enoke Futhi umbono wangiboniswa kanje: Bheka, embonweni amafu angimema futhi inkungu yangibiza, futhi ukuhamba kwezinkanyezi nemibani kwashesha kwangisheshisa, futhi imimoya embonweni yangenza ngandiza yangiphakamisa, yangiyisa ezulwini. Uphahla lwayo lwalufana nendlela yezinkanyezi nemibani, futhi phakathi kwawo kwakukhona amakherubi avuthayo, futhi izulu lawo lalicwebe njengamanzi. Futhi phansi kwalo kwakungomlilo, futhi ngaphezu kwalo kwakukhona imibani nendlela yezinkanyezi, futhi uphahla lwalo lwaluvutha umlilo. U-Enoke 14:8,11,17 Ngabona izindawo zezinkanyiso, nengcebo yezinkanyezi, nokuduma kwezulu, nasezindaweni ezijulile, lapho kwakukhona khona umnsalo ovuthayo, nemicibisholo, nomgodla wazo, nenkemba evuthayo, nayo yonke imibani. U-Enoke 17:3

Ngabona imimoya yezulu iphenduka futhi iletha umjikelezo welanga nazo zonke izinkanyezi ekushoneni kwazo. Ngabona lapho izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa njengezintaba ezinkulu ezivuthayo, futhi kimi, lapho ngibuza ngazo, ingelosi yathi: 'Le ndawo ingukuphela kwezulu nomhlaba: lokhu sekuphenduke ijele lezinkanyezi nebutho lezulu. Futhi izinkanyezi ezigobhoza phezu komlilo yizo eziphule umyalo weNkosi ekuqaleni kokuvela kwazo, ngoba aziphumanga ngesikhathi sazo esimisiwe. U-Enoke 18:4,12-14 Ngabona lapho izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa zezulu ziboshwe ndawonye kuso, njengezintaba ezinkulu, zivutha umlilo. Lezi zingabanye bezinkanyezi zezulu, abaye baphula umyalo weNkosi, futhi baboshwe lapha kuze kube yilapho iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyishumi, isikhathi esibangelwa izono zabo, siphelile. U-Enoke 21:3,6 Ngabona ukuthi izinkanyezi zezulu ziphuma kanjani, ngabala iminyango lapho ziphuma khona, ngabhala phansi yonke iminyango yazo, yenkanyezi ngayinye ngokwayo, ngokwenani lazo namagama azo, imizila yazo nezindawo zazo, nezikhathi zazo nezinyanga zazo, njengoba u-Uriyeli ingelosi engcwele eyayinami engibonisile. U-Enoke 33:3 Ngaphakathi kwala masango amancane kudlula izinkanyezi zezulu futhi zigijime indlela yazo ziye entshonalanga endleleni eziboniswa yona. U-Enoke 36:3 Ngabona eminye imibani nezinkanyezi zezulu, futhi ngabona ukuthi wazibiza zonke ngamagama azo futhi zamlalela. U-Enoke 43:1 Futhi esinye isenzakalo engisibonile mayelana nemibani: indlela ezinye zezinkanyezi ezivuka ngayo futhi zibe yimibani futhi zingakwazi ukuhlukana nesimo sazo esisha. U-Enoke 44:1 Futhi yibo laba abahlulela izinkanyezi zezulu, futhi baphakamise izandla zabo ngokumelene noPhezukonke, futhi banyathele umhlaba futhi bahlale kuwo. Futhi zonke izenzo zabo zibonisa ukungalungi, futhi amandla abo ahlala engcebweni yabo, futhi ukholo lwabo lukunkulunkulu ababenzile ngezandla zabo, futhi bayaliphika igama leNkosi yemimoya, futhi bashushisa izindlu zamabandla akhe, kanye nabathembekile ababambelela egameni leNkosi yemimoya. U-Enoke 46:7-8 Yebo, ngaphambi kokuba kudalwe ilanga nezibonakaliso, ngaphambi kokuba kwenziwe izinkanyezi zezulu, igama lakhe laqanjwa phambi kweNkosi yemimoya. U-Enoke 48:3 Nezindawo zomoya, nokuthi imimoya ihlukaniswe kanjani, nokuthi ilinganiswa kanjani, nokuthi iminyango yomoya ibalwa kanjani, ngayinye ngokwamandla omoya, namandla okukhanya kwenyanga, nangamandla afanele: nokuhlukaniswa kwezinkanyezi ngokwamagama azo, nokuthi zonke izigaba zihlukaniswe kanjani. U- Enoke 60:12 Ngaleso sifungo izinkanyezi ziqedela umzila wazo, Futhi uzibiza ngamagama azo, Futhi ziyamphendula kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. U-Enoke 69:21 Wangibonisa zonke izimfihlo zemikhawulo yezulu, nawo wonke amakamelo azo zonke izinkanyezi, nazo zonke izinkanyiso, lapho zivela khona phambi kobuso babangcwele. U-Enoke 71:4 Ngabona iminyango eyisithupha lapho ilanga liphuma khona, neminyango eyisithupha lapho ilanga lishona khona nenyanga iphuma futhi ishona khona kulezi minyango, kanye nabaholi bezinkanyezi nalabo abaziholayo: abayisithupha empumalanga nabayisithupha entshonalanga, futhi bonke

balandelana ngokulandelana okunembile: kanye nakwesobunxele salezi minyango. U-Enoke 72:3

namafasitela

amaningi

ngakwesokudla

Futhi inani elingaphezulu kwelanga nezinkanyezi lifinyelela ezinsukwini eziyisithupha: eminyakeni emi-5 izinsuku eziyisi-6 minyaka yonke lifika ezinsukwini ezingama-30: futhi inyanga iwela ngemuva kwelanga nezinkanyezi enanini lezinsuku ezingama-30. Futhi ilanga nezinkanyezi kuletha yonke iminyaka ngqo, ukuze zingaqhubeki noma zilibazise indawo yazo ngosuku olulodwa kuze kube phakade; kodwa ziqedele iminyaka ngobulungisa obuphelele ezinsukwini ezingama-364. UEnoke 74:11-12 Futhi abaholi bezinhloko zezinkulungwane, ababekwe phezu kwayo yonke indalo naphezu kwazo zonke izinkanyezi, nabo baphathelene nezinsuku ezine ezihambisanayo, ezingahlukaniswanga nesikhundla sazo, ngokuya ngokubalwa konyaka, futhi laba bakhonza ezinsukwini ezine ezingabalwa ekubalweni konyaka. U-Enoke 75:1 Ngoba izibonakaliso nezikhathi neminyaka nezinsuku ingelosi u-Uriyeli eyangibonisa zona, iNkosi yenkazimulo eyimisile kuze kube phakade phezu kwazo zonke izikhanyiso zezulu, ezulwini nasemhlabeni, ukuze babuse ebusweni bezulu futhi babonakale emhlabeni, futhi babe ngabaholi bemini nobusuku, okungukuthi ilanga, inyanga, nezinkanyezi, nazo zonke izidalwa ezikhonzayo ezenza ukujikeleza kwazo kuzo zonke izinqola zezulu. U-Enoke 75:3 Ngokuphathelene neminyango eyishumi nambili ezulwini, emaphethelweni omhlaba, lapho kuphuma khona ilanga, inyanga, nezinkanyezi, nayo yonke imisebenzi yezulu empumalanga nasentshonalanga. Kukhona amafasitela amaningi avulekile ngakwesobunxele nangakwesokudla kwawo, futhi ifasitela elilodwa ngesikhathi salo esimisiwe liveza ukufudumala, okuhambisana nalokhu okwenza kuleyo minyango lapho izinkanyezi ziphuma khona njengoba ebayalile, futhi lapho zimi khona ngokuhambisana nenani lazo. Ngabona izinqola ezulwini, zigijima emhlabeni, ngaphezu kwaleyo minyango lapho izinkanyezi ezingasoze zahlala khona. Futhi enye inkulu kunazo zonke ezinye, futhi yilokho okwenza umzila wayo emhlabeni wonke. U-Enoke 75:6-9 U-Enoke 79 1 Manje, ndodana yami, ngikutshengisile konke, futhi umthetho wazo zonke izinkanyezi zezulu usuqediwe. 2 Wangibonisa yonke imithetho yalezi nsuku zonke, nazo zonke izikhathi zokubusa, nazo zonke iminyaka, nazo zonke izinsuku zokuphuma kwazo, kanye nomyalo obhalwe kuzo njalo ngenyanga namasonto onke: 3 Nokufiphala kwenyanga okwenzeka emnyango wesithupha: ngoba kulomnyango wesithupha ukukhanya kwayo kuyaphela, futhi ngemva kwalokho kukhona ukuqala kokufiphala: 4 Futhi ukuncipha okwenzeka esangweni lokuqala ngesikhathi salo, kuze kuphele izinsuku eziyikhulu namashumi ayisikhombisa nesikhombisa: kubalwa ngokwamasonto, amasonto angamashumi amabili nanhlanu nezinsuku ezimbili. 5 Uwela ngemuva kwelanga kanye nohlelo lwezinkanyezi izinsuku ezinhlanu ngqo phakathi nesikhathi esisodwa, futhi lapho le ndawo oyibonayo isidlulile. 6 Yileso isithombe nomdwebo wazo zonke izikhanyiso u-Uriel ingelosi enkulu, ongumholi wazo, angibonisa zona. Ngalezo zinsuku ingelosi u-Uriel yaphendula yathi kimi: Bheka, ngikubonisile konke, Enoke, futhi ngikutshelile konke ukuthi kufanele ubone leli langa nale nyanga, kanye nabaholi bezinkanyezi zezulu nabo bonke abaziguqulayo, imisebenzi yabo kanye nezikhathi kanye nokuhamba kwabo.

Futhi izinhloko eziningi zezinkanyezi zizokweqa umyalo omisiwe. Futhi lezi zizoshintsha imijikelezo yazo nemisebenzi yazo, Futhi zingaveli ngezikhathi ezimisiwe kuzo. Futhi lonke uhlelo lwezinkanyezi luzofihlwa ezonini, Nemicabango yalabo abasemhlabeni iyophambuka ngazo, Futhi bayoguqulwa kuzo zonke izindlela zabo, Yebo, bayophambuka futhi babathathe njengonkulunkulu. U-Enoke 80:6-7 Babusisiwe bonke abalungileyo, babusisiwe bonke abahamba ngendlela yokulunga futhi abangoni njengezoni, ngokubala zonke izinsuku zabo lapho ilanga lihamba khona ezulwini, lingena futhi liphuma eminyango izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu kanye nezinhloko zezinkulungwane zezinkanyezi, kanye nezine ezihlanganisiwe ezihlukanisa izingxenye ezine zonyaka, eziziholayo futhi zingena nazo izinsuku ezine. U-Enoke 82:4 Futhi unamandla phezu kobusuku nemini ezulwini ukuze abangele ukukhanya kukhanyisele abantu—ilanga, inyanga nezinkanyezi, nawo wonke amandla ezulu ajikeleza ezinqoleni zawo eziyindilinga. Futhi lezi yiziqondiso zezinkanyezi, ezihlala ezindaweni zazo, nasezinkathini zazo, nasemikhosini nasezinyangeni. U-Enoke 82:8-9 Kwathi lapho sengiphumile phansi ngabona izulu, nelanga liphuma empumalanga, nenyanga ishona entshonalanga, nezinkanyezi ezimbalwa, nomhlaba wonke, nakho konke njengoba ayekwazi ekuqaleni, ngabe sengidumisa iNkosi yokwahlulela futhi ngayidumisa ngoba yenza ilanga laphuma emafasiteleni asempumalanga, yakhuphuka yaphakama ebusweni bezulu, yahamba yaqhubeka nokuhamba ngendlela eyayiboniswe yona. U-Enoke 83:11 Ngaphinde ngabona ngamehlo ami njengoba ngangilele, ngabona izulu phezulu, futhi bheka inkanyezi yawa ezulwini, yavuka yadla yadla phakathi kwalezo zinkomo. Ngemva kwalokho ngabona izinkomo ezinkulu nezimnyama, futhi bheka zonke zashintsha izibaya zazo namadlelo azo kanye nezinkomo zazo, zaqala ukuhlala ndawonye. Ngaphinde ngabona embonweni, futhi ngabheka ezulwini, futhi bheka ngabona izinkanyezi eziningi zehla futhi zaziphosela phansi zisuka ezulwini zaya kuleyo nkanyezi yokuqala, zaba izinkunzi phakathi kwalezo zinkomo futhi zadla nazo phakathi kwazo. U-Enoke 86:1-3 Omunye wathi kimi: Hlala lapha uze ubone konke okwehlela lezo zindlovu, amakamela, nezimbongolo, nezinkanyezi nezinkabi, nazo zonke. U-Enoke 87:4 Ngabona omunye walabo abane ababephume kuqala, wabamba inkanyezi yokuqala eyayiwile ezulwini, wayibopha izandla nezinyawo, wayiphonsa kwalasha: manje lowo mgoqo wawumncane futhi ujulile, futhi uyesabeka futhi umnyama. Omunye wabo wahosha inkemba, wayinika lezo zindlovu, amakamela nezimbongolo: base beqala ukushayana, umhlaba wonke wazamazama ngenxa yabo. Njengoba ngangibona embonweni, bheka, omunye walabo abane ababephume wabakhanda ngamatshe evela ezulwini, waqoqa wathatha zonke izinkanyezi ezinkulu ezazinamalungu angaphakathi afana namahhashi, wazibopha zonke izandla nezinyawo, waziphonsa kwalasha lomhlaba. U-Enoke 88:1-3 INkosi yabiza lawo madoda ngokuthi amhlophe okuqala ayisikhombisa, yayala ukuba alethe phambi Kwayo, kusukela enkanyezini yokuqala eyayihola indlela, zonke izinkanyezi ezazinezitho zangasese ezifana nezamahhashi, futhi zonke zaziletha phambi Kwayo. U-Enoke 90:21 Kwaba khona isahlulelo kuqala phezu kwezinkanyezi, bahlulelwa futhi batholwa benecala, baya endaweni yokulahlwa, baphonswa kwalasha, eligcwele umlilo nelangabi, futhi ligcwele izinsika zomlilo. Enoke 90:24 9

Noma ukhona yini ongaqonda ubude bezulu nokuthi bukhulu kangakanani ukuphakama kwalo, nokuthi lisekelwe kuphi, nokuthi lingakanani inani lezinkanyezi, nokuthi zonke izinkanyiso zimi kuphi? U-Enoke 93:14 Manje, yazini ukuthi uzobuza ezingelosini ngezenzo zenu ezulwini, kusukela elangeni nasenyangeni nasezinkanyezini ngokuphathelene nezono zenu ngoba emhlabeni niyahlulela abalungileyo. U-Enoke 100:10

I-Jasher I-Jasher 8 1 Kwathi ngobusuku u-Abrama azalwa ngabo, zonke izinceku zikaThera, nazo zonke izihlakaniphi zikaNimrode, kanye nabakhaphi bakhe beza badla, baphuza endlini kaThera, bajabula naye ngalobo busuku. 2 Kwathi lapho bonke abahlakaniphileyo nabaqambi bephuma endlini kaThera, baphakamisa amehlo abo ezulwini ngalobo busuku ukuyobuka izinkanyezi, babona, futhi bheka inkanyezi enkulu kakhulu yavela empumalanga yagijima emazulwini, yagwinya izinkanyezi ezine ezinhlangothini ezine zezulu. 3 Bonke abahlakaniphileyo benkosi kanye nabaqambi bayo bamangala ngalo mbono, futhi abahlakaniphileyo baqonda le ndaba, futhi babazi ukubaluleka kwayo. 4 Bathi omunye komunye, Lokhu kubonisa umntwana ozelwe uThera ngalobu busuku, ozokhula futhi azale, ande, futhi adle umhlaba wonke, yena nabantwana bakhe kuze kube phakade, futhi yena nenzalo yakhe bayobulala amakhosi amakhulu, futhi badle ifa lamazwe abo. 5 Amadoda ahlakaniphileyo nabaqambi babuyela emakhaya ngalobo busuku, kwathi ekuseni bonke laba madoda ahlakaniphileyo nabaqambi bavuka ekuseni, babuthana endlini ethile. 6 Bakhuluma bodwa bathi: “Bheka, lesi sibonakaliso esisibonile izolo ebusuku sifihliwe enkosini, asizange saziswe yona.” 7 Futhi uma le nto ifika enkosini ezinsukwini zokugcina, izothi kithi, Kungani ningifihlele le ndaba, bese sonke sihlupheka; ngakho-ke, masihambe siyotshela inkosi umbono esiwubonile, nencazelo yawo, bese sihlala sicacile. 8 Bakwenza lokho, bonke baya enkosini bakhothamela phansi, bathi: “Mayiphile inkosi, mayiphile inkosi.” 9 Sizwile ukuthi uThera indodana kaNahori, isikhulu sempi yakho, uzalelwe indodana, safika endlini yakhe izolo ebusuku, sadla, saphuza, sajabula naye ngalobo busuku. 10 Kwathi lapho izinceku zakho ziphuma endlini kaThera, ziya emakhaya ethu ukuze zilale khona ubusuku, saphakamisa amehlo ethu ezulwini, sabona inkanyezi enkulu ivela empumalanga, futhi inkanyezi efanayo yagijima ngesivinini esikhulu, yagwinya izinkanyezi ezine ezinkulu, ezivela ezinhlangothini ezine zezulu. 11 Izinceku zakho zamangala ngombono esawubona, zesaba kakhulu, sanquma ngombono, sazi ngokuhlakanipha kwethu incazelo efanele yawo, ukuthi le nto iphathelene nomntwana ozelwe uThera, ozokhula futhi ande kakhulu, abe namandla, abulale wonke amakhosi omhlaba, futhi adle ifa lawo wonke amazwe awo, yena nenzalo yakhe kuze kube phakade. U-Abrama wabona izinkanyezi nenyanga phambi kwakhe, wathi, Impela lo nguNkulunkulu owadala umhlaba wonke kanye nomuntu, futhi bheka lezi zinceku zakhe zingonkulunkulu abamzungezile: uAbrama wakhonza inyanga wayithandaza ubusuku bonke. Ekuseni lapho kukhanya ilanga likhanya emhlabeni njengenjwayelo, u-Abrama wabona zonke izinto iNkosi uNkulunkulu ayezenzile emhlabeni. U-Abrama wathi kuye Impela laba akusibo onkulunkulu abenza umhlaba nabo bonke abantu, kodwa laba yizinceku zikaNkulunkulu, u-Abrama wahlala endlini kaNowa futhi lapho wayemazi uJehova nezindlela zakhe 'wakhonza iNkosi zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe, futhi

sonke leso sizukulwane sakhohlwa iNkosi, sakhonza abanye onkulunkulu bokhuni nabetshe, sahlubuka zonke izinsuku zabo. UJasher 9:17-19 Kwathi u-Abrama esefikile, abalingisi benkosi nabahlakaniphileyo bambona u-Abrama, bamemeza enkosini, bathi: “Nkosi yethu, impela lo yindoda esiyaziyo ukuthi yayingumntwana okwazalwa ngaye inkanyezi enkulu yagwinya izinkanyezi ezine, esasizimemezela enkosini eminyakeni engamashumi amahlanu kusukela lapho.” Jasher 12:9 Ngakho-ke uma ulalela izwi lami, ugcine imiyalo yami, izimiso zami, nemithetho yami, ngiyakuwisa izitha zakho phambi kwakho, ngiyakwandisa inzalo yakho njengezinkanyezi zezulu, ngithumele isibusiso sami kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zakho, awuyikuswela lutho. Sukuma manje, thatha umkakho nakho konke okungokwakho, uye ezweni laseKhanani, uhlale khona, ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wakho, ngikubusise. U-Abrama wasukuma, wathatha umkakhe nakho konke okungokwakhe, waya ezweni laseKhanani, njengalokho uJehova emtshelile; u-Abrama wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu ubudala lapho ephuma eHarana. U-Abrama wafika ezweni laseKhanani, wahlala phakathi komuzi, wamisa itende lakhe phakathi kwabantwana baseKhanani, abakhileyo ezweni. UJehova wabonakala ku-Abrama lapho efika ezweni laseKhanani, wathi kuye: “Leli yizwe engilinike wena nenzalo yakho emva kwakho kuze kube phakade, ngiyakwenza inzalo yakho ibe njengezinkanyezi zezulu, ngiyinike inzalo yakho ibe yifa lawo wonke amazwe owabonayo.” UJasher 13:4-7 Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wabonakala ku-Abrama eHebroni futhi, wathi kuye: “Ungesabi, umvuzo wakho mkhulu kakhulu phambi kwami, ngokuba angiyikukushiya, ngize ngikwandise, ngikubusise, ngenze inzalo yakho ibe njengezinkanyezi zasezulwini, ezingenakulinganiswa noma ezingenakubalwa.” Jasher 16:20 U-Isaka wathi: “O Jehova Nkulunkulu wezulu nomhlaba, onomusa wakho nobuhle bakho kugcwalise umhlaba, wena owathatha ubaba endlini kayise nasendaweni yakhe yokuzalwa, wamletha kuleli zwe, wathi kuye: ‘Ngizonika inzalo yakho leli zwe,’ wena wamthembisa, wamtshela ukuthi: ‘Ngizokwandisa inzalo yakho ibe njengezinkanyezi zezulu nanjengesihlabathi solwandle,’ manje amazwi akho angaqinisekiswa owawakhuluma nobaba.’ Jasher 26:6 UJakobe waqhubeka nohambo lwakhe oluya eHarana, wafika entabeni yaseMoriya, wahlala lapho ubusuku bonke eduze komuzi waseLuze; uJehova wabonakala kuJakobe ngalobo busuku, wathi kuye: “NginguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka uyihlo; izwe olele kulo ngiyakulinika wena nenzalo yakho. Bheka, nginawe, ngikulondoloze nomaphi lapho uya khona, ngiyakwandisa inzalo yakho ibe njengezinkanyezi zezulu, ngiwise zonke izitha zakho phambi kwakho; lapho belwa nawe abayikukunqoba, ngiyakubuyisela kuleli zwe ngentokozo, nabantwana, nengcebo enkulu.” UJakobe wavuka ebuthongweni bakhe, wajabula kakhulu ngombono ayewubonile; waqamba igama laleyo ndawo ngokuthi iBethele. UJasher 30:1-3 Futhi abanye bazenza ngemifanekiso yabantu, yegolide nesiliva, futhi baya kuzo ngezikhathi abaziyo, futhi imifanekiso yamukela ithonya lezinkanyezi, futhi ibatshele izinto zesikhathi esizayo, futhi ngale ndlela kwakuyizithombe uRaheli azeba kuyise. Jasher 31:43 NginguJehova uNkulunkulu kayihlo u-Abrahama noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, ngiyakunika leli zwe nenzalo yakho emva kwakho, ngenze inzalo yakho ibe njengezinkanyezi zezulu, usabalale ezinhlangothini ezine zezulu, futhi kuwe nangenzalo yakho yonke imindeni yomhlaba iyakubusiswa. Jasher 32:17

U-Isaka indodana ka-Abrahama wathandazela amadodana akhe kuJehova, wathi, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, wathembisa ubaba, wathi: ‘Ngiyokwandisa inzalo yakho ibe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu,’ futhi wangithembisa, futhi uqinise izwi lakho, njengoba amakhosi aseKhanani ehlangana ndawonye, ukuze alwe nabantwana bami ngoba awenzanga ubudlova.’ Jasher 34:65 Ngemva kwalokhu uJosefa waphupha elinye iphupho, walandisa iphupho kuyise phambi kwabafowabo, wathi kuyise nakubafowabo: “Bhekani, ngiphuphe futhi iphupho, bhekani ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi eziyishumi nanye zingikhothamela.” Jasher 41:14 U-Isaka wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwawo wonke amadodana kaJakobe, wawabamba, wawagona, wawanga ngamunye ngamunye, u-Isaka wababusisa ngalolo suku, wathi kubo: “Kwangathi uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo anganibusisa, andise inzalo yenu njengezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi.” Jasher 47:5 Wabayala ukuba balethe phambi kwakhe imephu yakhe yezinkanyezi, uJosefa ayezazi njalo, uJosefa wathi kuBenjamini, “Ngizwile ukuthi amaHebheru ayazi konke ukuhlakanipha, uyazi yini ngalokhu?” UBenjamini wathi, “Inceku yakho iyazi nakho konke ukuhlakanipha ubaba angifundise khona, uJosefa wathi kuBenjamini, “Bheka manje le nsimbi uqonde ukuthi uJosefa umfowenu ukuphi eGibhithe, owathi wehlela eGibhithe.” UBenjamini wabona le nsimbi enemephu yezinkanyezi zezulu, futhi wayehlakaniphile wabheka kuyo ukuze azi ukuthi umfowabo ukuphi, uBenjamini wahlukanisa lonke izwe laseGibhithe laba yizigaba ezine, wathola ukuthi owayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phambi kwakhe kwakunguJosefa umfowabo, uBenjamini wamangala kakhulu, futhi lapho uJosefa ebona ukuthi uBenjamini umfowabo wayemangale kakhulu, wathi kuBenjamini, “Uboneni, futhi kungani umangala?” UJasher 53:18-20

AmaJubili Le misebenzi emine emikhulu uNkulunkulu wayidala ngosuku lwesithathu. Ngosuku lwesine wadala ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi, wazibeka esibhakabhakeni sezulu, ukuze zikhanyise umhlaba wonke, futhi zibuse imini nobusuku, futhi zahlukanise ukukhanya nobumnyama. AmaJubili 2:8 Wathola umbhalo owawuqoshwe edwaleni yizizukulwane zangaphambili, wafunda okwakukuwo, wawubhala phansi, wona ngenxa yawo; ngoba wawuqukethe imfundiso yabalindi ababevame ukugcina ngayo izibonakaliso zelanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi kuzo zonke izibonakaliso zezulu. AmaJubili 8:3 Ngesonto lesithupha, ngonyaka wesihlanu walo, u-Abrama wahlala ubusuku bonke ngenyanga entsha yesikhombisa ukuze abuke izinkanyezi kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni, ukuze abone ukuthi kuzoba yini uhlobo lonyaka mayelana nezimvula, futhi wayeyedwa njengoba ehleli ebuka. Kwafika izwi enhliziyweni yakhe wathi: Zonke izibonakaliso zezinkanyezi, nezibonakaliso zenyanga nezelanga konke kusezandleni zeNkosi. Kungani ngizihlola? Uma ethanda, ubangela ukuba line, ekuseni nakusihlwa; Futhi uma ethanda, uyaligodla, futhi konke kusezandleni zakhe. AmaJubili 12:16-18 Wamkhiphela ngaphandle, wathi kuye: “Bheka ezulwini ubale izinkanyezi, uma ukwazi ukuzibala.” Wabheka ezulwini, wabona izinkanyezi. Wathi kuye: “Inzalo yakho iyakuba njalo.” Wakholwa yiNkosi, kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi kungukulunga.” AmaJubili 14:4-6

Wathi: “Ngizifungile mina,” kusho uJehova, “Njengoba ukwenzile lokhu, futhi ungagodlanga indodana yakho, indodana yakho ethandekayo, ukuthi ngokubusisa ngizokubusisa, futhi ngokwandisa inzalo yakho, ngizoyandisa njengezinkanyezi zezulu, nanjengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle.” Inzalo yakho iyodla ifa lemizi yezitha zayo, Futhi ngenzalo yakho zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziyobusiswa; ngoba ulalele izwi lami, futhi ngibonisile kubo bonke ukuthi uthembekile kimi kukho konke engikushilo kuwe: Hamba ngokuthula.” AmaJubili 18:15-16 Ngoba ngizokunika wena nenzalo yakho lonke leli zwe, futhi ngizoqinisa isifungo sami engasifunga ku-Abrahama uyihlo, futhi ngizokwandisa inzalo yakho ibe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu, futhi ngizoyinika inzalo yakho lonke leli zwe. AmaJubili 24:10 Futhi kwangathi angandisa abantwana bakho phakathi nokuphila kwakho, Futhi kwangathi bangavuka ngokwenani lezinyanga zonyaka. Futhi kwangathi abantwana babo banganda futhi babe bakhulu ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi zezulu, Futhi inani labo lingaphezu kwesihlabathi solwandle. AmaJubili 25:16 Khumbulani, madodana ami, uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama uyihlo, nokuthi nami ngangimkhonza kanjani futhi ngimkhonza ngokulunga nangenjabulo, ukuze anandise futhi andise inzalo yenu njengezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi, futhi animise emhlabeni njengesitshalo sokulunga esingeke sisuswe kuzo zonke izizukulwane kuze kube phakade. AmaJubili 36:6

Izincwadi Ezilahlekile ZeBhayibheli Bathi, “Iphi inkosi yamaJuda ezelwe?” Ngoba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe empumalanga, size ukuzomkhonza.” I-Protevangelion 15:2 Baphendula bathi, “Sibone inkanyezi enkulu kakhulu ikhanya phakathi kwezinkanyezi zezulu, yakhanya kakhulu kunezinye izinkanyezi, kangangokuthi azizange zibonakale, futhi sasazi ngalokho ukuthi kwazalwa inkosi enkulu kwa-Israyeli, ngakho-ke size ukuzoyikhonza.” Ngakho-ke izazi zaphuma, bheka, inkanyezi ezaziyibona empumalanga yahamba phambi kwazo, yaze yafika yema phezu komhume lapho umntwana omncane wayekhona noMariya unina.” I-Protevangelion 15:7,9 Ngesikhathi esifanayo kwabonakala kubo ingelosi ngesimo senkanyezi eyayikade ingumqondisi wabo ohambweni lwabo; ukukhanya kwayo abakulandela baze babuyela ezweni lakubo. 1 IVangeli Lobuntwana BukaJesu Kristu 3:3 Kodwa lapho efika ukuzombona, wabona phakathi kwamehlo akhe izimpawu zochoko njengenkanyezi, futhi ngemva kwalokho wathi umshado usuphelile futhi awusebenzi. 1 IVangeli Lobuntwana BukaJesu Kristu 12:9 Ngubani owalala ethuneni efile, wehlela kithi ephila, futhi ekufeni kwakho zonke izidalwa zathuthumela, nezinkanyezi zonke zanyakaziswa, manje usunenkululeko yakho phakathi kwabafileyo, futhi uphazamisa amabutho ethu? IVangeli likaNikodemu 17:6 Futhi uthi futhi: UNkulunkulu waveza u-Abrahama, wathi kuye: Bheka ezulwini, ubale izinkanyezi, uma ukwazi ukuzibala; iyakuba njalo nenzalo yakho. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 5:10 Ilanga nenyanga, nazo zonke izinkampani eziningi nezinkanyezi, zigijima ezindleleni azibekele zona ngokuvumelana, zingaphambuki nakancane kuzo. 1 Clement to the Corinthians 9:7

Futhi ezinye izizwe zakhe azizange zibe nenkazimulo encane: UNkulunkulu ethembisile ukuthi inzalo yakho (usho yena) izoba njengezinkanyezi zezulu. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 14:18 Futhi kuyini lokho akushoyo, Waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa: usho lokhu; ukuthi lapho iNdodana yakhe ifika, izoqeda isikhathi soMubi, yahlulele abangamesabi uNkulunkulu; futhi izoguqula ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi; khona-ke iyophumula ngokukhazimulayo ngalolo suku lwesikhombisa. Incwadi Ejwayelekile KaBarnaba 13:6 Pho-ke uMsindisi wethu wabonakala kanjani emhlabeni? Inkanyezi yakhanya ezulwini ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye izinkanyezi, futhi ukukhanya kwayo kwakungenakuchazwa, futhi ubusha bayo bashaya uvalo ezingqondweni zabantu. Zonke ezinye izinkanyezi, kanye nelanga nenyanga, kwakuyingoma yale nkanyezi; kodwa lokho kwathumela ukukhanya kwayo ngaphezu kwazo zonke. Futhi abantu baqala ukukhathazeka ukucabanga ukuthi le nkanyezi entsha yavelaphi engafani nezinye. Incwadi ka-Ignatius eya kwabase-Efesu 4:11-12 Manje lapho ebethelwe esiphambanweni, kwaba nobumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke, nelanga lafihlwa isigamu sosuku, nezinkanyezi zavela, kodwa akukho ukukhanya okwabonakala kuzo; nenyanga yalahlekelwa ukukhanya kwayo, sengathi igcwele igazi; futhi izwe labashonile lagwinywa; kangangokuthi indawo engcwele yethempeli, njengoba beyibiza kanjalo, ayizange ibonakale kumaJuda ngokwawo lapho ewa, kodwa abona umhosha emhlabeni, nokuduma okulandelanayo. Manje lapho ebethelwe esiphambanweni kwafika ubumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke; ilanga lalifihliwe ngokuphelele, nesibhakabhaka sabonakala simnyama kusesemini, kangangokuthi izinkanyezi zabonakala, nakuba zazisafihlwe ukukhanya kwazo, ngakho-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi ubuhle bakho abuqapheli ukuthi emhlabeni wonke bakhanyisa izibani zabo kusukela ngehora lesithupha kuze kube kusihlwa. Futhi inyanga, eyayifana negazi, ayizange ikhanye ubusuku bonke, nakuba yayigcwele, futhi izinkanyezi ne-Orion zalila ngamaJuda, ngenxa yesiphambeko esenziwa yibo. Kusukela Ezincwadini ZikaHerode NoPilatu

Izincwadi Zase-Edene Ezikhohliwe Baletha phambi kwami abadala nababusi bezinhlelo zezinkanyezi, bangibonisa izingelosi ezingamakhulu amabili, ezibusa izinkanyezi nezinkonzo zazo ezulwini, futhi zindiza ngamaphiko azo zizungeze bonke labo abahamba ngomkhumbi. Izimfihlo zika-Enoke 4:1 Ukudlula kwayo nokubuya kwayo kuhambisana nezinkanyezi ezine ezinkulu, futhi inkanyezi ngayinye inezinkanyezi eziyinkulungwane ngaphansi kwayo, ngakwesokudla kwesondo lelanga, kanti ezine ngakwesobunxele, ngayinye inezinkanyezi eziyinkulungwane ngaphansi kwayo, eziyizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili sezizonke, eziphuma nelanga njalo. Izimfihlo zika-Enoke 11:4 Futhi lapho lawo madoda angithatha angiyisa ezulwini lesithupha, futhi lapho ngabona amaqembu ayisikhombisa ezingelosi, ekhanya kakhulu futhi ekhazimulayo kakhulu, nobuso bazo bukhanya ngaphezu kokukhanya kwelanga, bukhanya, futhi akukho mehluko ebusweni babo, noma ekuziphatheni kwabo, noma endleleni yokugqoka; futhi laba benza imiyalo, futhi bafunda ukuhamba kwezinkanyezi, nokuguqulwa kwenyanga, noma ukuguquka kwelanga, kanye nohulumeni omuhle wezwe. Izimfihlo zika-Enoke 19:1 Futhi wayengitshela yonke imisebenzi yasezulwini, yomhlaba nolwandle, nazo zonke izinto eziphilayo, izindlela zazo zokuhamba nokuhamba, kanye nokuduma kwezulu, ilanga nenyanga,

ukuhamba nokushintsha kwezinkanyezi, izinkathi, iminyaka, izinsuku, namahora, ukuphuma komoya, izinombolo zezingelosi, kanye nokwakheka kwezingoma zazo, nazo zonke izinto zabantu, ulimi lwazo zonke izingoma nokuphila kwabantu, imiyalo, imiyalelo, kanye nokuhlabelela okumnandi, nazo zonke izinto ezifanele ukuzifunda. Izimfihlo zika-Enoke 23:1 Ngayala ukuba kususwe ekukhanyeni nasebumnyameni, ngathi: ‘Yiba lukhuni,’ kwaba njalo futhi ngakusakaza ngokukhanya, kwaba ngamanzi, ngabe sengikusakaza phezu kobumnyama, ngaphansi kokukhanya, ngabe sengiqinisa amanzi, okungukuthi angenamkhawulo, ngabe sengibeka isisekelo sokukhanya nxazonke zamanzi, ngabe sengidala iziyingi eziyisikhombisa ngaphakathi, ngabe sengizidweba njengekristalu emanzi neyomile, okungukuthi njengengilazi, kanye nokuzungeza kwamanzi nezinye izinto, ngabe sengibonisa ngayinye yazo indlela yayo, nezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ngayinye yazo ezulwini layo, ukuthi zihamba kanje, ngabona ukuthi kuhle. Izimfihlo zika-Enoke 27:1 Ngosuku lwesine ngayala ukuba kube nezibani ezinkulu ezindingilizini zasezulwini.
