“ ʼE MOLE fai anai koa e te Tuʼi Fakamau ʼo te kele katoa, ia te meʼa ʼae ʼe faitotonu?” (Senesi 18:25, MN ) Neʼe lotolotolua koa ia Apalahamo ʼo ʼuhiga mo Sehova? Kailoa ia.

Neʼe ʼave leva ia ia ki Esipito. (Senesi 37:23-28; 42:21) Ki muli age, neʼe tukugakoviʼi e te fafine ia Sosefo, ʼo ina ui neʼe ina fia fakaʼalikiʼi ia ia. Koia neʼe ʼave ai ia Sosefo ʼo pilisoniʼi, kaʼe neʼe mole pe la fakamauʼi ia ia. (Senesi 39:17-20) Neʼe maʼuli mamahi ia Sosefo he neʼe ko te kaugana pea neʼe pilisoniʼi lolotoga taʼu ʼe 13.
