Sowake wahlaselwa ngumkhuhlane okwesikhatshana yini? Kungenzakala ukuthi ubuhlungu owabuzwayo sowabukhohlwa ngoba waphanga wasila. Manje ubuhlungu bokufelwa butshiyene kakhulu lalokhu. Kwelinye ibhuku elikhuluma ngendlela ongapholisa ngayo amanxeba okufelwa ngumkakho, isikhwicamfundo u-Alan Wolfelt wabhala wathi: “Akwenzakali ukuthi ubuhlungu bokufelwa buphele.” Waphinda wathi: “Ngokuya kwesikhathi langokuncediswa ngabanye ubuhlungu bungathi hu.”

Wakhala “okwezinsuku ezinengi” labemuli yakhe baze behluleka ukumduduza. Kwadlula iminyaka eminengi ukufa kukaJosefa kulokhu kumudla.—UGenesisi 23:2; 37:34, 35; 42:36; 45:28.
