Ua hoikeia mai ka aina i olelo mua ia, he aina 'e kahe ana i ka waiu a me ka meli.' Aka, o ka maikai o ka aina i hoikeia mai e Mose ma Kan. 8:7-8, a me ka nui o na kanaka i noho ana ilaila, aole like iki me ka wi a me ka neoneo o ia aina e noho nei. O ka poino i haule mai maluna o ka aina no ka hoomaloka o na Iudaio, ua mau no ia i keia wa. No ka liuliu loa o ke kaua a me ka haunaeie, ua anaiia ka aina a ua emi na kanaka.

O kona ua mua a me ka ua hope i malamaia mamua iloko o na luawai, a i hookahe aku ma na auwai e hoopulu i ka aina, i ka manawa la, i keia wa e noho nei, ua kahe wale aku ia wai la, a i ke kai. O ka aiua i hooneleia i ka laau, ua wela i ka la, a maloo, aole hua e like me mamua. Aka, ma kauwahi o Palesetine, he ano e ka hua mai ana i ka hua; a ma na wahi a pau i mahi pono ia, he pahanen ka hua. Ua ulu mai ke kulina a umikumamakahi kapuwai ke kiekie, a o na huawaina kokoke like no me na huhuiwaina o Esekola. O na kanaka a pau i hele ilaila hooiaio lakou i ka Baibala, no kona hua nui mai i ka hua. E nana HEBERA, IUDEA.
