CHAIM HERZOG, akani adaibuot ukara idụt Israel, ye Mordechai Gichon, akani prọfesọ ukpepn̄kpọ aban̄ade udọkisọn̄ nyom n̄kpọeset ke Ufọkn̄wed Ntaifiọk Tel Aviv, ẹma ẹnam akpan n̄kpọ oro etienede mi an̄wan̄a ke n̄wed mmọ oro Battles of the Bible:
“Owo ikemeke ndida mbụk oro ẹtịbide-tịbi ẹwet nnam usọ oro ẹkedade ẹn̄wana mme ekọn̄ oro ẹtịn̄de ẹban̄a ke Bible . . . an̄wan̄a. Ke uwụtn̄kpọ, odot ndimen ekọn̄ oro Gideon akan̄wanade ye mbon Midian ye nsan̄a mmọ, oro ẹbụkde ke Judges 6-8, ndomo ye ekọn̄ oro ẹken̄wanade ke obio Troy emi Homer etịn̄de aban̄a ke uto esie oro ekerede Iliad. Ẹkeme ndin̄wana ekọn̄ oro Homer eketịn̄de aban̄a ke uto esie ke ebiet ekededi oro eti mbeninyan̄ ye ọkpọsọn̄ obio ukpeme ẹkedude ẹkpere . . . Edi idịghe ntre ye mbụk Bible oro aban̄ade ekọn̄ oro Gideon akan̄wanade. Ekese ntọt oro ẹban̄ade usọ oro enye akadade an̄wana ekọn̄ ye nte mme akpan ebiet oro enye akan̄wanade ekọn̄ eketiede, ọkọrọ ye nte mme ufan m̀mê mme asua esie ẹkenamde n̄kpọ—ke mme ebiet oro enye akan̄wanade ekọn̄ emi okoyomde usụn̄ ke n̄kpọ nte kilomita 60—ikemeke nditịbe ke ebiet ekededi . . . Ntem nnyịn inyene ndinịm ke mbụk Bible oro aban̄ade usọ oro ẹkedade ẹn̄wana ekọn̄ oro edi akpanikọ.”
Afo emekeme ndikpep mban̄a ekọn̄ oro Gideon akan̄wanade ebe ke ndise ndise obio ke page 18 ye 19 ke n̄wed ndise obio Bible oro ‘Kụt Eti Isọn̄.’ * Mbụk oro ọtọn̄ọ ke ini “ofụri Midian, ye Amalek, ye nditọ edem usiaha-utịn [ẹsopde] idem, ndien ẹbe ẹkenam nna ke Itịghede Jezreel.” Gideon ama okot mme esien oro ẹkedude ẹkpere ete ẹditiene mmimọ ẹn̄wana ekọn̄. Mmọ ẹken̄wana ẹkọn̄ emi ke mben Idịm Harod ye ke itịghede Obot Moreh, ndien ekem ẹsụhọde ẹka Itịghede Jordan. Gideon ama akan mme asua ke ama ekebịne mmọ ebe Akpa Jordan.—Judges 6:33–8:12.
Ndise obio oro odude ke ‘Kụt Eti Isọn̄’ owụt mme akpan ebiet oro ẹsiakde ye nte isọn̄ oro eketiede. Ndise en̄wen (page 15) owụt mme ikpehe isọn̄ esien Israel. Ndise iba emi ẹkeme ndin̄wam fi ọfiọk nte mbụk Bible oro itịn̄de iban̄a enende.
Emi ọsọn̄ọ se Prọfesọ Yohanan Aharoni emi ama akakpa eketịn̄de ete: “Ke isọn̄ Bible, ukpepn̄kpọ aban̄ade isọn̄ ye ukpepn̄kpọ mbụkeset ẹnen̄ede ẹnyene ebuana tutu kiet ikemeke ndinen̄ede n̄n̄wan̄a owo ke owo mîtịmke ifiọk enye eken.”
