Kwiindawo zentsomi kunye namabali amandulo, kukho umlambo ogutyungelwe yimfihlakalo kunye ne-mystique, eyaziwa ngokuba nguMlambo waseSambation.
Kuthiwa uMlambo iSambation ungaphakathi kumbindi weAsia, uquka amazwe ngoku aziwa ngokuba yiIran neTurkmenistan. Kukholelwa ukuba ibambe ukubaluleka okubalulekileyo kwezenkolo nezenkcubeko, ngokukhankanywa okusukela kumaxesha ebhayibhile.
Ngokwemibhalo yamandulo, uMlambo iSambation uneempawu ezingaqhelekanga. Uqukuqela ngokukhawuleza ukususela ngoMvulo ukuya kutsho ngoLwesihlanu, kodwa ngendlela engaqondakaliyo uye wema ngokupheleleyo ngomhla weSabatha, usenza kube nzima ngaye nabani na ukuwela amanzi ayo. Olu phawu luntsonkothileyo luye lwavelisa iintsomi ezininzi kunye namabali kuyo yonke imbali.
Enye intsomi ebalaseleyo eyayanyaniswa noMlambo iSambation ijikeleza kwizizwe ezilishumi ezilahlekileyo zakwaSirayeli.
Ngokutsho kwentsomi, izizwe ezili-10 kwezili-12 zantlandlolo zamaHebhere, ezathi, phantsi kokhokelo lukaYoshuwa, zathimba iKanan, iLizwe Ledinga, emva kokufa kukaMoses. Ayebizwa ngokuba nguAshere, uDan, uEfrayim, uGadi, uIsakare, uManase, uNafetali, uRubhen, uSimon, noZebhulon—bonke ngoonyana okanye abazukulwana bakaYakobi.
Ngowama-930 BC izizwe ezili-10 zenza uBukumkani obuzimeleyo bakwaSirayeli emantla zaza ezinye izizwe ezibini, uYuda noBhenjamin, bamisela uBukumkani bukaYuda emazantsi. Emva kokoyiswa kobukumkani basentla ngama-Asiriya ngowama-721 BC, izizwe ezili-10 zathinjwa ngukumkani waseAsiriya, uShalemaneser V.
Eli bali libalisa ngezi zizwe zili-10 zaselubhacweni zabalekela kunxweme lomlambo iSambation zibaleka iimfazwe nentshutshiso. Wona, kunye nezinto zawo ezingcwele ezingcwele, ayekhuselwe ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo omlambo, nto leyo eyenza ukuba indawo leyo ingafikeleli kubantu bangaphandle.
Njengoko iinkulungwane zaziqengqeleka, uMlambo iSambation waba sisithetha-ntonye nemfihlelo kunye nokulangazelela izizwe ezilahlekileyo. Uninzi lwabahloli bamazwe kunye nabahambi baye batsalwa yi-aura emnandi yomlambo, bezama ukuvula iimfihlo zabo kunye nokufumana izizwe ezifihliweyo.
Amaphulo amaninzi alungelelanisiweyo kodwa angqineka alilize, njengoko uMlambo iSambation wawungangeneki. Ezinye iintsomi zithi amanzi omlambo akakho nzulu kakhulu ukuba kungadlula iinqanawa, ngoxa ezinye zithi luvavanyo lokholo kwabo bafuna izizwe ezilahlekileyo.
Ngenkulungwane ye-17, uMenasseh ben Israel wasebenzisa intsomi yezizwe ezilahlekileyo ekubongozeni ngempumelelo ukuba amaYuda amkelwe eNgilani ngexesha lolawulo luka-Oliver Cromwell. Abantu ekwakusithiwa ngamaxesha ahlukahlukeneyo bayinzala yezizwe ezilahlekileyo baquka amaKristu aseAsiriya, amaMormon, ama-Afghan, amaBeta akwaSirayeli aseTopiya, amaIndiya aseMerika namaJapani.
Phakathi kwentaphane yabaphambukeli kwiLizwe lakwaSirayeli ukususela ekusekweni kwalo ngowe-1948 kwakukho abambalwa abathi ngokufanayo bangamasalela eZizwe Ezilishumi Ezilahlekileyo. Inzala yesizwe sakwaYuda nesakwaBhenjamin iye yasinda njengamaYuda kuba yavunyelwa ukuba ibuyele kwilizwe layo emva kokuthinjelwa eBhabhiloni ngowama-586 BC.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, abaphengululi kunye nabahloli baye bazama ukufumanisa eyona ndawo umi kuyo umlambo iSambation, kunye neziza ezicetywayo ukusuka kumrhanelwa oqhelekileyo onjengeMesopotamiya ukuya eTshayina. Ezinye iinzame ziye zabeka iSambation River eArmenia, apho ubukumkani bamandulo babumi kwimpuma yeAnatolia kunye nommandla osemazantsi weCaucasus, uMbindi Asia (ngokukodwa iKazakhstan okanye iTurkmenistan), kunye neTransoxiana, ummandla wembali oquka iinxalenye zeUzbekistan yanamhlanje, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan.
Namhlanje, uMlambo iSambation usagutyungelwe lintsomi, ubangela umdla nengqondo kwabo bava amabali awo. Njengoko ijikeleza kumhlaba ochumileyo wase-Asiya, iyaqhubeka ukutsalela abahambi kunye nabaphengululi abavela kwihlabathi liphela ukuba bavule iimfihlo zabo kwaye baveze ikamva lezizwe ezilahlekileyo zakwaSirayeli.
