Bakakanzide nyika ya Kanana, pele Musa tanaakatola nzila mfwaafwi—yamakkilomita aatandila ku 400 kutobelezya nkomwe yamuseenga ya Lwizi lwa Mediterranean—yalo yakali kunga yabainzya mu Filistiya, icooko cabasinkondo babo. Alimwi kunyina naakatozya mutala lyacooko cipati canyika cibulide kaniini kuba nsumbu ica Sinai, ooko ikupya kunji nkokwakali kuumpa cibeela calubwe-lubwe amabwe aatuba. Musa wakasololela bantu kugama kumusanza, kabatobelezya nkomwe yacibanda iimanikide. Ibusena bwakusaanguna mpobakaima mpaa Mara, aawo Jehova mpaakabotya maanzi aakali kulula. * Nobakazwa ku Elimu, ibantu bakatalika kutongooka kujatikizya cakulya; eelyo Leza wakabapa bakancele mpoonya kumbele imana. Ku Refidimu, ibantu bakatongaukila Musa alimwi kujatikizya maanzi, ibana Amaleki ibakabalwana bakazundwa alimwi syaanyinazyala Musa wakamukulwaizya kulomba lugwasyo kuzwa kubaalumi ibakali kweelela.—Ku, zyaandaano 15-18.

Mpoonya Musa wakasololela bana Israyeli kugama kumalundu aali kumusanza kwini, baakwiima aa Cilundu ca Sinai. Ooko bantu ba Leza bakatambula Mulawo, bakayaka tente lyakuswaanganina alimwi bakatuula zituuzyo.

(My 13:1–14:34) Akati kamasena nkobakaima kwakali Ebirona alimwi a Ezioni Geberi, mpoonya bakapilukila ku Kadesi.—My 33:33-36.

Kumamanino eelyo bana Israyeli nobakaswena afwaafwi a Nyika Yakasyomezyegwa, kunyina pe nobakabukaa kugama kunyika. Inzila yabo yakabazingulusya akati kacooko ca Edomu mpoonya akugama kunyika kubelesya “mugwagwa wamwami,” nkokuti Nzila ya Mwami.

Bakeelede kweenda munzila yakali kunyonauka, kukunuka alimwi akutanta mumajeleele aakatazya kwiinda alimwi malamfwu—aa Zeredi alimwi a Arinoni (aalampa mamita aatandila ku 520 kuyaansi).—Dt 2:13, 14, 24.

Lino Musa wakafwa aabusena mpaakali kukonzya kubona nyika njaakali kuyandisya kapati kuti akiinjile.
