Toa nanaraka an’io fivavahana io i Tera. (Ge 11:31, 32) Azontsika tsara àry hoe nahoana i Josoa no nampitandrina ny Israely, talohan’ny nidiran’izy ireo tao amin’ny Tany Nampanantenaina. Hoy izy: “Izao no nolazain’i Jehovah Andriamanitry ny Israely: ‘Tany ampitan’ny Renirano [Eofrata] no nonenan’ny razanareo taloha ela be, dia i Tera, rain’i Abrahama sy Nahora. Ary nanompo andriamani-kafa izy ireo.’
(Ge 11:31, 32) In any case, these circumstances add weight to the significance of Joshua’s warning to Israel after their entry into the Promised Land, as recorded at Joshua 24:2, 14: “This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, ‘It was on the other side of the River [Euphrates] that your forefathers dwelt a long time ago, Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they used to serve other gods.’jw2019 jw2019
