Ezindaweni zezinganekwane nezinsumansumane zasendulo, kukhona umfula ombozwe yimfihlakalo nemfihlakalo, owaziwa ngokuthi uMfula iSambation.
Umfula iSambation kuthiwa ungaphakathi phakathi kwenkaba ye-Asia, uhlanganisa amazwe manje aziwa ngokuthi i-Iran neTurkmenistan. Kukholakala ukuthi inokubaluleka okubalulekile kwezenkolo namasiko, okukhulunywa ngakho ezikhathini zeBhayibheli.
Ngokwemibhalo yasendulo, uMfula iSambation unezimfanelo ezingavamile. Igeleza ngokushesha kusukela ngoMsombuluko kuya kuLwesihlanu, kodwa ngokuyimfihlakalo ifika ime ngokuphelele ngosuku lweSabatha, okwenza kungenzeki nganoma ubani ukuwela amanzi alo. Lesi sici esiyimpicabadala siye savusa izinganekwane ezingenakubalwa kanye nezindaba kuwo wonke umlando.
Inganekwane eyodwa evelele ehlotshaniswa noMfula iSambation izungeza Izizwe Eziyishumi Ezilahlekile Zakwa-Israyeli.
Ngokwenganekwane, izizwe eziyishumi kwezingu-10 zamaHeberu zokuqala, ezathatha iKhanani, iZwe Lesithembiso, ngaphansi kobuholi bukaJoshuwa, ngemva kokufa kukaMose. Abizwa ngokuthi u-Asheri, uDani, u-Efrayimi, uGadi, u-Isakare, uManase, uNafetali, uRubeni, uSimeyoni, noZebuloni—wonke amadodana noma abazukulu bakaJakobe.
Ngo-930 BC izizwe eziyi-10 zakha umbuso ozimele wakwa-Israyeli enyakatho futhi ezinye izizwe ezimbili, uJuda noBenjamini, zamisa uMbuso wakwaJuda eningizimu. Ngemva kokunqotshwa kombuso wasenyakatho ngabase-Asiriya ngo-721 BC, izizwe eziyi-10 zadingiswa inkosi yase-Asiriya, uShalimaneseri V.
Inganekwane isitshela ngalezi zizwe ezingu-10 ezazidingisiwe ezabalekela osebeni lomfula iSambation ukuze zibaleke izimpi noshushiso. Wona, kanye nezinto zawo zobuciko ezingcwele, ayevikelwe amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo omfula, okwenza le ndawo ingakwazi ukufinyelela kubantu bangaphandle.
Njengoba amakhulu eminyaka adlula, uMfula iSambation wafana nemfihlakalo nokulangazelela izizwe ezilahlekile. Abahloli bamazwe abaningi kanye nezihambi bayengwe i-aura ekhangayo yomfula, bezama ukuvula izimfihlo zabo futhi bathole izizwe ezifihliwe.
Uhambo oluningi lwahlelwa kodwa lwaba yize, njengoba uMfula iSambation wawungangeneki. Ezinye izinganekwane zithi amanzi omfula awashoni kakhulu ukuba imikhumbi idlule, kanti ezinye zithi lokhu kuwuvivinyo lokholo kulabo abafuna izizwe ezilahlekile.
Ngekhulu le-17, u-Menasseh ben Israel wasebenzisa inganekwane yezizwe ezilahlekile ekuncengeni ngempumelelo ukuba amaJuda angeniswe eNgilandi ngesikhathi sombuso ka-Oliver Cromwell. Abantu okwathi ngezikhathi ezihlukahlukene bayinzalo yezizwe ezilahlekile bahlanganisa amaKristu ase-Asiriya, amaMormon, ama-Afghan, amaBeta Israel aseTopiya, amaNdiya aseMelika namaJapane.
Phakathi kwenqwaba yabafuduki eSifundazweni Sakwa-Israel kusukela samiswa ngo-1948 kwakukhona abambalwa nabo ababethi bayizinsalela zezizwe Eziyishumi Ezilahlekile. Inzalo yezizwe zakwaJuda nakwaBenjamini isindile njengamaJuda ngoba yavunyelwa ukubuyela ezweni lakubo ngemva kokudingiselwa eBhabhiloni ngo-586 BC.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, osolwazi nabahloli bamazwe baye bafuna ukudalula indawo eqondile yomfula i-Sambation, ngeziza ezihlongozwayo ezisukela kumsolwa ojwayelekile njengeMesophothamiya ukuya eChina. Eminye imizamo ibeke iSambation River e-Armenia, lapho umbuso wasendulo wawusendaweni esempumalanga ye-Anatolia kanye nesifunda saseCaucasus esiseningizimu, i-Asia Ephakathi (ikakhulukazi iKazakhstan noma iTurkmenistan), kanye neTransoxiana, isifunda somlando esihlanganisa izingxenye ze-Uzbekistan yanamuhla, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan.
Namuhla, uMfula iSambation usagcwele inganekwane, evusa izimanga nozungu kulabo abezwa izinganekwane zawo. Njengoba izulazula ezindaweni ezivundile zase-Asia, iyaqhubeka nokunxenxa izihambi nezifundiswa ezivela emhlabeni wonke ukuthi zivule izimfihlo zayo futhi zidalule isiphetho sezizwe ezilahlekile zakwa-Israyeli.
