(ʻAi. 30:5, 17; Sel. 25:8-11) Pea ko e moʻoni, naʻe taki pōpula kinautolu ʻe he kau Pāpiloné. Kae kehe, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga faitōnunga ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau Siú, pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻAisea ha pōpoaki ʻo e ʻamanaki maʻanautolu. Naʻá ne tala ange ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ʻaho te nau toe maʻu ʻa e hōifua ʻa Sihová. (Lau ʻa e ʻAisea 30:18, 19.) Pea ko e meʻa tofu pē ia naʻe hokó. Naʻe fakangata ʻe Sihova ʻenau nofo pōpulá. Neongo ia, ko honau fakahaofí naʻe ʻikai hoko mai ʻi he taimi pē ko iá.
