Te u lava fēfē ʻo laka atu ki muʻa ʻi he tuí ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakatoloi ai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku fie maʻú?
Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻĒpalahame mo Sela ʻa e ongo naʻe maʻu ʻi hono fakatoloi e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻá na fie maʻú pea ʻikai fakahoko ha niʻihi ʻi he moʻuí ni. ʻI he taʻu 75 ʻa ʻĒpalahamé, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai haʻana fānau mo Sela (vakai, Sēnesi 11:29–30; 12:4). Ka naʻe talaʻofa ange ʻe he ʻEikí, “Te u fakatupu ho hakó ke hangē ko e efu ʻo e kelekelé” (Sēnesi 13:16). Naʻe talaʻofa foki ʻe he ʻEikí ʻe foaki kia ʻĒpalahame mo hono hakó ʻa e fonua ko Kēnaní ko honau tofiʻa (vakai, Sēnesi 17:8). Kimui ange ai ʻi he taʻu 100 ʻa ʻĒpalahame pea taʻu 90 ʻa Selá, naʻe talaʻofa ange ʻe maʻu ʻe Sela ha foha pea ʻe ui ko ʻAisake (vakai, Sēnesi 17:17, 19). Neongo naʻe fakahoko ʻa e talaʻofá ni mo ha ngaahi talaʻofa kehe kiate kinaua, ka ko e ngaahi talaʻofa ko ia ʻa e ʻEikí te na maʻu ha hako taʻefaʻalaua pea maʻu ʻa e fonua ʻo e talaʻofá, naʻe ʻikai fakakakato ia lolotonga e moʻui ʻa ʻĒpalahame mo Selá.
Naʻe fakamatala e ʻAposetolo ko Paulá ʻi he tohi Hepeluú, ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ko ʻeni kia ʻĒpalahame mo Selá.
Naʻe fakamatala ʻa Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e tuí ko e falala—falala ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá, falala ki Heʻene founga hono fakahoko e ngaahi meʻá, pea falala ki Heʻene taimi-tēpilé” (“Timing,” Ensign, Oct. 2003, 12).

ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e tatali ki he ʻEikí ke hokohoko atu ʻa e talangofuá mo e tupulaki fakalaumālie kiate Iá. ʻOku ʻikai ʻuhinga ʻa e tatali ki he ʻEikí ke fakafiefiemālie pe taʻe fai ha meʻa. ʻOku ʻikai teitei totonu ke ke ongoʻi ʻokú ke ʻi ha loki talitaliʻanga. …
