(Genesis 38:8) Nte ini akakade, ẹma ẹmen ndutịm emi ẹsịn ke Ibet Moses, ẹkedinyụn̄ ẹdiọn̄ọ utọ ndọ emi nte ndọ eyenete ebe. (Deuteronomy 25:5, 6) Se Boaz akanamde ke n̄wed Ruth owụt ke edieke nditọete akpan̄kpa mîdụhe ke uwem, ke akana kiet ke otu iman akpan̄kpa emen n̄wan esie ọdọ.—Ruth 1:3, 4; 2:19, 20; 4:1-6.
Se mme Sadducee eketịn̄de ẹban̄a ndọ eyenete ebe ke Mark 12:20-22 owụt ke ẹkesụk ẹdọdọ utọ ndọ emi ke eyo Jesus.
