AmaKristu amaninzi, amaYuda kunye nabantu abanomdla kwimicimbi yembali yamandulo nenkcubeko, baphupha ukutyelela iNtaba kaMoses kwiSinayi. Imbali yeBhayibhile idibanisa iNtaba kaMoses eYiputa kunye neNkosi ukunikezela kwabakhethiweyo bamacwecwe angcwele kunye nemiyalelo yobuntu. Ngokwesiko, abahambi ngeendwendwe ababekhuphuka kwiNtaba kaMoses baza bahlangana nokuphuma kwelanga, zonke izono ezenziwe ngaphambili ziyeke.
Ukuba ufuna ukunyuka, kufuneka uqonde kakuhle apho intaba kaMoses. Ngaphezu koko, incwadi engcwele ayinayo impendulo ngqo kulo mbuzo. Indawo edumileyo iphakathi kwinqanaba laseSinayi kwindawo engasondelanga kwaye inegama elininzi: iNtaba yaseSinayi, iNtaba kaMoses, uJabal-Musa, eParan. Kukulungele ukufika kwindawo exabisekileyo ukusuka kwidolophu yase -Egypt yaseSharm el-Sheikh , apho ihambo oluqhelekileyo kwiNtaba kaMoses ihlelwe khona.
Izinto zokunyuka kwentaba kaMoses eYiputa
Ukuphakama kweNtaba kaMoses eYiputa ngamamitha angama-2,285 ngaphezulu kwezinga elwandle. Kuze kube ngoku, kwiimeko ezintle, amanyathelo alondoloziwe, akhiwe amakhulu eminyaka edluleyo, kwaye kunye naziphi iindwendwe zamandulo eza kunyuka entabeni. I-Steep and not guarded "I-Staircase of Repentance" inamanqanaba angama-3750 ngamatye. Kodwa abahambi kunye nabakhenkethi banokunyuka entabeni kaMoses, besetyenziswe ngendlela elula, behamba kunye okanye bekhwele i-dromedary - ikamela elilodwa lehashe. Kodwa nangalolu hlobo, inxalenye yendlela-iinqanaba ezi-750 zokugqibela, kufuneka zinqotshwe ngeenyawo.
Olunye ubunzima kukuba ukunyuka kwenzeka ikakhulukazi ebusuku, xa kungekho nto ejikelezeyo ibonakala kwithuba. Kwaye ukuba i-ascension iqala ngokushisa okuphezulu emoyeni (umhlaba uphelelwa elangeni elitshisayo), ngobusuku awukwazi ukuyenza ngaphandle kwebhokisi elifudumeleyo elikhusela umoya ovuthayo kwaye kubanda kakhulu. Nangona inyaniso yokuba ukuphakama kweentaba kuncinci, ngaphandle kwexesha elifutshane elingenakuyenza. Sincoma ukubeka izithammesi kunye neziphuzo ezinxilisayo kunye nokutya okuphezulu, okukunceda ukugcina amandla emzimbeni. Kubalulekile kwinkqubo yokubuyisela ukusetyenziswa kwemigudu efanelekileyo kwaye uqhubeke kunye neqela lakho, kuba kulula ukulahleka endleleni: amawaka amaninzi abahambahambayo aphakamisa ngexesha.
Amehlo angalibalekiyo alindele abo bavukela kwisiqonga esiphambili: iintaba zeentaba, ezidwetshwe kwiitoni eziluhlaza-zegolide ezimhlophe; ukugqithisa kwamafu okulenga ezintabeni zeentaba; idiski yelanga ivela phezu kweentloko zabantu. Uninzi lwababhenkethi abaye banyuka eNtabeni kaMoses, bathi imibala yokuqala yelanga, ukukhupha ukukhathala nokuxinzelela kwixesha lokunyuka okunzima. Inzala iyadlula ngokukhawuleza, kodwa abaninzi emva kobusuku bokulala bephupha ngokulala.
