Kadi bino bilembwa bitela ne Beth ʹImri. Kudi shintulwilo ibidi ya bino bilembwa. Balupusa ba Isalela wa Kala banena’mba, “shintulwilo mibajinji i ya amba Beth ʹImri i dijina dya kisaka kya butobo—bana ba Imele (Eza. 2:36-37; Neh. 7:39-42) kwātambile bantu babādilwe mu kitango kya Mazia. Shintulwilo ya bubidi i ya amba [Beth ʹImri i] kifuko kwātambile Midiamu nansha kisaka kyabo kyonso.” Nansha shi byādi namani, kibīko kya mikupa ya Midiamu kileta bukamoni bwa amba Bible wisambilanga pa bantu bāikele’ko bine kadi bādi mu bisaka byādi’ko bine.
