Asi ini ndakavatumira nhume ndichiti, “Ndiri mukuita basa guru. Handikwanise kudzika ikoko. Basa ringamirireiko? Ndosiya zvangu basa ndichiuya kwamuri here?” Vakatumira shoko kwandiri nomutoo mumwechetewo kanosvika kana, ini ndikavapindurawo zvimwechetezvo. Nenzira imwecheteyo Sanibharati akanditumira kechishanu muranda wake netsamba muruoko yakanga yakazaruka. Mairi makanga makanyorwa kunzi “Pane runyerekupe ruri kufamba muvanhu kana Geshemu ari kuzvitaurawo kuti iwe nevaJudha munoda kupanduka, ndokusaka muri kuvaka rusvingo. Zvinonzi norunyerekupe irworwo, iwe unoda kuva mambo wavo. Uyewo wakatosarudza vaporofita. Iwe wakagadza vaporofita vokuparidza nezvako muJerusaremu vachiti, ‘Munyika yaJudha mave namambo.’ Zvino shoko irori rakaita saizvozvi rava kundosvitswa kuna mambo. Saka iwe uya titaurirane.” Ini ndakatumira shoko kwaari ndichiti, “Zvauri kutaura izvo, hapana zvakamboitika zvakadaro, ndezvomusoro wako zvauri kutoita zvako iyewe.” Nokuti vose zvavo vaida kutityisidzira vachifunga kuti pabasa irori maoko edu anobva arengwendeka, richibva raregwa kuitwa, asi imi Mwari simbisai maoko angu, ini ndokubva ndagwinyisa maoko. Zvino pandakaenda kumba kwaShemaya mwanakomana waDheraya aberekwa naMehetabhieri akanga akapfigirwa akati, “Ngatisanganei mumba yaMwari mukati chaimo meTemberi tizarire magonhi eTemberi nokuti vari kuuya kuzokuuraya vari kuuya usiku kuzokuuraya.” Asi ini ndakati, “Murume akaita seni kudai, kutiza here chaizvo? Pangu pano ndingapindewo muTemberi nhai ndikatorarama? Handipindemo ini.” Ndakazvinzwisisa ndikaona kuti Mwari haana kunge amutuma, asi shoko raandiporofitira iri pamusana paTobhiya naSanibharati, vakanga vamutenga. Ndozvavakamutengera izvozvo kuti ini nditye, ndiite saizvozvo, ndiparamure chitadzo, vagondipa zita rakaipa vachindifumura. “Mwari wangu rangarirai Tobhiya naSanibharati nezvinhu zvavakaita izvi murangarirewo mukadzi uyu muporofita Noadiya navamwe vaporifita vose vanoda kundipa mweya wokutya.” Saizvozvo rusvingo rwakapera kuvakwa mumazuva anoita makumi mashanu namaviri, pazuva ramakumi maviri nechishanu remwedzi waEruru. Vavengi vedu vose pavakazvinzwa marudzi ose omunharaunda yedu, akatya, akaona kuti zvokutiwo tinzi vanhu hapasisina chaizvo, nokuti vakanga vaonawo kuti basa irori rakanga raitwa norubatsiro rwaMwari wedu.
