Otjotjihorera, Jehova povikando tjiva aa yandjere ovandu ve okukapaha oruveze “pu mave ziki ozondanda” pu pa ri ovikurya okurya nomeva okunwa. (Num. 10:33) Rumwe rworuveze ndwo rwa ri Elim, “imbo pa ri otuharwi twomeva omurongo na tuvari, nomiti vyomavare omirongo hambombari.” (Eks. 15:27) Embo ndi Plants of the Bible ra tja omuti womavare “u hapa potuveze otuingi pekepeke, . . . owo u yandja ovikurya nomaze, nu ovandu ovengi ve ungurisa omuti mbwi okutunga nawo ozondjuwo.”

Orwo rwe ura nomiti vyomavare, nu oruwa tjinene ngandu indu tji rwa sasanekwa notjikunino tja Eden. Ozombura ozengi ovandu aave ya poruveze ndwo mena romiti vyomavare.”

Nu vyarwe aavi ungurisiwa mozombunguhiro, nu nandarire koomukuru wovisenginina. b (Oviung. 7:39-43) Nandarire nao, Ovaisrael va ri nozonyanda tjiva nozongombe. Matu yenene okumuna okuza koviṋa Jehova mbya raera kovakarere ve indu tji ve ha karere nonḓuviro ku ye, kutja: “Ovanatje veṋu mave rire ovarise mokuti onguza oure wozombura omirongo vine.” (Num. 14:33) Ku nao povikando tjiva, otjiwaṋa aatji isa omaihi nonyama okuza kovinamuinyo mbyo, posi ya kavya ri nonḓengu okuparura ovandu ape omangete yetatu oure wozombura 40. c
