a Imizekelo ethatyathwe kwimibhalo kaJosephus: KwiNtaba yeSinayi imibane neendudumo “zazibonakalisa ubukho bukaThixo apho [pa·rou·siʹa].” Imbonakaliso engummangaliso eyayiba semnqubeni “yayibonakalisa ubukho [pa·rou·siʹa] bukaThixo.” Ngokubonisa umkhonzi kaElisha iinqwelo zokulwa ezazimjikelezile, uThixo “wambonisa amandla nobukho [pa·rou·siʹa] bakhe umkhonzi wakhe.” Xa umthetheli waseRoma uPetronius wazama ukungxengxeza kumaYuda, uJosephus uthi ‘uThixo akazange abubonakalise ubukho [pa·rou·siʹa] bakhe kuPetronius’ ngokunisa imvula. UJosephus wayengalisebenzisi kwisenzo sokuza okanye ukufika igama elithi pa·rou·siʹa. Lalibhekisela kubukho obuqhubekayo, nobungabonakaliyo.
