Kungani amaholide amaJuda eqala ekushoneni kwelanga ngobusuku obandulela lolo?
Emasikweni amaningi amakhalenda anamuhla, izinsuku ziqala ekuseni ziphele ebusuku. Kodwa kuthiwani uma kwakwenzekile okuphambene? Emigqeni yokuqala yendaba yokuDalwa encwadini kaGenesise, indaba eyisisekelo yamasiko ka-Abrahama, sifunda ukuthi umhlaba wonke wawubumnyama futhi ungenalutho. (Ubumnyama beza kuqala.) UNkulunkulu wathi: "Makube khona ukukhanya". (Ukukhanya kwaba okwesibili.) "Kwaba ngukuhlwa, kwaba ngukusa, usuku lokuqala".  Lo musho wokugcina ubalulekile. Usuku lokuqala luqukethe kusihlwa kulandelwe ekuseni. Ikhalenda lamaJuda lilandela lesisiko. Izinsuku zayo azihlali zisuka ekuseni ziye ekuseni. Izinsuku zayo ziguqukela ebusuku (njengoba kuphawulwa ngokushona kwelanga).  Ngokwesibonelo, isabatha lamaJuda (iShabbat) lingosuku lwesikhombisa lweviki. IShabbat = Shevat ngesiHeberu, okuhunyushwa ngokoqobo njengenombolo eyisikhombisa. Usuku lwesikhombisa lwesonto nguMgqibelo. Nokho, iSabatha alihlali kusukela ngoMgqibelo ekuseni kuya ngeSonto ekuseni. Siqala ngoLwesihlanu kuze kube ngoMgqibelo ebusuku. AmaJuda amaningi agcina iSabatha azolwamukela ngesidlo somkhaya, amakhandlela, nomthandazo ngoLwesihlanu kusihlwa.
