Kae ʻoua naʻá ke tukunoaʻi e fiefia ʻo hono ako e ngaahi lēsoni mei he hisitōlia ko ení. Naʻe tohi ʻe Molonai, “ko e finangalo poto ʻo e ʻOtuá ke fakahā ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni kiate kimoutolu” ( ʻEta 8:23), he ka mou ka ako mei he ngaahi tō nounou mo e lavameʻa ʻa e kau Sēletí, ʻe “fakangata ʻa e angahalá … ke hoko mai ʻa e taimi ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai ke maʻu ai ʻe Sētane ha mālohi ki he loto ʻo e fānau ʻa e tangata” ( ʻEta 8:26).
