出埃及記 第 38 章
帳幕的院子
9他做帳幕的院子。院子的南面用撚的細麻做,寬一百肘。Then he constructed the courtyard. The south side of the courtyard was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely spun linen,
10帷子的柱子二十根,帶卯的銅座二十個;柱子上的鉤子和杆子都是用銀子做的。with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
11北面也有帷子,寬一百肘。帷子的柱子二十根,帶卯的銅座二十個;柱子上的鉤子和杆子都是用銀子做的。The north side was also a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.
12院子的西面有帷子,寬五十肘。帷子的柱子十根,帶卯的座十個;柱子的鉤子和杆子都是用銀子做的。The west side was fifty cubits long and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

14–15門這邊的帷子十五肘,那邊也是一樣。帷子的柱子三根,帶卯的座三個。在門的左右各有帷子十五肘,帷子的柱子三根,帶卯的座三個。The curtains on one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases. And the curtains on the other side were also fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases as well.

18院子的門簾是以繡花的手工,用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,和撚的細麻織的,寬二十肘,高五肘,與院子的帷子相配。The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high,
19帷子的柱子四根,帶卯的銅座四個;柱子上的鉤子和杆子是銀的;柱頂是用銀子包的。with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, as well as the bands and the plating of their tops.
20帳幕一切的橛子和院子四圍的橛子都是銅的。All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.
建造帳幕所用的材料
21這是中利未人所用物件的總數,是照摩西的吩咐,經祭司亞倫的兒子的手數點的。This is the inventory for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the Testimony, as recorded at Moses’ command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
22凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的都是猶大支派戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列做的。Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the LORD had commanded Moses.
23與他同工的有但支派中亞希撒抹的兒子亞何利亞伯;他是雕刻匠,又是巧匠,又能用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,和細麻繡花。With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen.
24為聖所一切工作使用所獻的金子,按聖所的平,有二十九並七百三十舍客勒。All the gold from the wave offering used for the work on the sanctuary totaled 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
25會中被數的人所出的銀子,按聖所的平,有一百他連得並一千七百七十五舍客勒。The silver from those numbered among the congregation totaled 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel—
26凡過去歸那些被數之人的,從二十歲以外,有六十萬零三千五百五十人。按聖所的平,每人出銀半舍客勒,就是一。a beka per person, that is, half a shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone twenty years of age or older who had crossed over to be numbered, a total of 603,550 men.
27用那一百他連得銀子鑄造聖所帶卯的座和幔子柱子帶卯的座;一百他連得共一百帶卯的座,每帶卯的座用一他連得。The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil—100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent per base.
28用那一千七百七十五舍客勒銀子做柱子上的鉤子,包裹柱頂並柱子上的杆子。With the 1,775 shekels of silver he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and supplied bands for them.
29所獻的銅有七十他連得並二千四百舍客勒。The bronze from the wave offering totaled 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.
30用這銅做會幕門帶卯的座和銅壇,並壇上的銅網和壇的一切器具,He used it to make the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grating, all the utensils for the altar,
31並院子四圍帶卯的座和院門帶卯的座,與帳幕一切的橛子和院子四圍所有的橛子。the bases for the surrounding courtyard and its gate, and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and its surrounding courtyard.
出埃及記 第 39 章
做聖衣:以弗得
1比撒列用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線做精緻的衣服,在聖所用以供職,又為亞倫做聖衣,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, as well as the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
2他用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻做以弗得;Bezalel made the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
3把金子,剪出線來,與藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,用巧匠的手工一同繡上。They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut threads from them to interweave with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen—the work of a skilled craftsman.
4又為以弗得做兩條相連的肩帶,接連在以弗得的兩頭。They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached at two of its corners, so it could be fastened.
5其上巧工織的帶子和以弗得一樣的做法,用以束上,與以弗得接連一塊,是用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻做的,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod was of one piece with the ephod, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6又兩塊,鑲在金槽上,彷彿刻圖書,按著以色列兒子的名字雕刻;They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.
7將這兩塊寶石安在以弗得的兩條肩帶上,為以色列人做紀念石,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
胸牌
8他用巧匠的手工做胸牌,和以弗得一樣的做法,用金線與藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻做的。He made the breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod, with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
9胸牌是四方的,疊為兩層;這兩層長一虎口,寬一虎口,It was square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
10上面鑲著寶石四行:第一行是紅寶石、紅璧璽、紅玉;And they mounted on it four rows of gemstones: The first row had a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
11第二行是綠寶石、藍寶石、金鋼石;the second row had a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12第三行是紫瑪瑙、白瑪瑙、紫晶;the third row had a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13第四行是水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉。這都鑲在金槽中。and the fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. These stones were mounted in gold filigree settings.
14這些寶石都是按著以色列十二個兒子的名字,彷彿刻圖書,刻十二個支派的名字。The twelve stones corresponded to the names of the sons of Israel. Each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
15在胸牌上,用精金擰成如繩子的鍊子。For the breastpiece they made braided chains like cords of pure gold.
16又做兩個金槽和兩個金環,安在胸牌的兩頭。They also made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the two rings to the two corners of the breastpiece.
17把那兩條擰成的金鍊子穿過胸牌兩頭的環子,Then they fastened the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
18又把鍊子的那兩頭接在兩槽上,安在以弗得前面肩帶上。and they fastened the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
19做兩個金環,安在胸牌的兩頭,在以弗得裡面的邊上,They made two more gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
20又做兩個金環,安在以弗得前面兩條肩帶的下邊,挨近相接之處,在以弗得巧工織的帶子以上。They made two additional gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near the seam just above its woven waistband.
21用一條藍細帶子把胸牌的環子和以弗得的環子繫住,使胸牌貼在以弗得巧工織的帶子上,不可與以弗得,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。Then they tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece was above the waistband of the ephod and would not swing out from the ephod, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
以弗得的外袍
22他用織工做以弗得的外袍,顏色全是藍的。They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, the work of a weaver,
23袍上留一領口,口的周圍織出領邊來,彷彿鎧甲的領口,免得破裂。with an opening in the center of the robe like that of a garment, with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.
24在袍子底邊上,用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻做石榴,They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely spun linen on the lower hem of the robe.
25又用精金做,把鈴鐺釘在袍子周圍底邊上的石榴中間:They also made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates,
26一個鈴鐺一個石榴,一個鈴鐺一個石榴,在袍子周圍底邊上用以供職,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。alternating the bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
內袍、冠冕、褲子和腰帶
27他用織成的細麻布為亞倫和他的兒子做內袍,For Aaron and his sons they made tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver,
28並用細麻布做冠冕和華美的,用撚的細麻布做褲子,as well as the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands and undergarments of finely spun linen,
29又用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻,以繡花的手工做腰帶,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。and the sash of finely spun linen, embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
聖冠上的金牌
30他用精金做上的牌,在上面按刻圖書之法,刻著「歸耶和華為聖」。They also made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and they engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
31又用一條藍細帶子將牌繫在冠冕上,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。Then they fastened to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
一切工作完成,交給摩西
32帳幕,就是會幕,一切的工就這樣做完了。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,以色列人都照樣做了。So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
33他們送到摩西那裡。帳幕和帳幕的一切器具,就是鉤子、板、閂、柱子、帶卯的座,Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent with all its furnishings, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, and its posts and bases;
34染紅公羊皮的蓋、海狗皮的頂蓋,和遮掩櫃的幔子,the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering;
35法櫃和櫃的槓並施恩座,the ark of the Testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;
36桌子和桌子的一切器具並陳設餅,the table with all its utensils and the Bread of the Presence;
37精金的燈臺和擺列的燈盞,與燈臺的一切器具,並點燈的油,the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its utensils, as well as the oil for the light;
38金壇、膏油、馨香的香料、會幕的門簾,the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;
39銅壇和壇上的銅網,壇的槓並壇的一切器具,洗濯盆和盆座,the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;
40院子的帷子和柱子,並帶卯的座,院子的門簾、繩子、橛子,並帳幕和會幕中一切使用的器具,the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases; the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and tent pegs, and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting;
41精工做的禮服,和祭司亞倫並他兒子在聖所用以供祭司職分的聖衣。and the woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.
42這一切工作都是以色列人照耶和華所吩咐摩西做的。The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
43耶和華怎樣吩咐的,他們就怎樣做了。摩西看見一切的工都做成了,就給他們。And Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had accomplished it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them.
摘要
出埃及記三八至三九章記載會幕院子、燔祭壇、洗濯盆的製作,以及建造所用金、銀、銅材料的詳細清點。接著描述比撒列為大祭司亞倫製作以弗得、胸牌、外袍、聖冠等聖衣,每件均嚴格按照耶和華吩咐摩西的樣式完成。全部工程做完後,以色列人將成品呈給摩西檢視,摩西見一切都照神的吩咐做成,便給他們祝福。
反思問題
- 經文反覆強調『照耶和華所吩咐摩西的』,這種對神指示的忠實順服,對你在日常生活中回應神的引導有什麼提醒?
- 會幕的建造需要眾人各盡其職、奉獻材料與技藝,你如何在教會或群體中發揮神所賜的恩賜來服事?
- 摩西看見工程完成便祝福百姓,忠心完成神託付的工作與領受祝福之間的關係,給你怎樣的激勵?
新約馬太福音 26:1–30
前情提要
上回說到
昨天():耶穌說人子要在榮耀裡降臨,像牧羊的分別綿羊和山羊那樣審判萬民。凡給飢渴的人吃喝、接待客旅、看顧病人和坐監的,王說「這些事你們既做在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上,就是做在我身上了」。
今天你會讀到
逾越節前兩天,宗教領袖商議要用詭計捉拿耶穌。在伯大尼,一個女人把極貴的香膏澆在耶穌頭上,耶穌說這是為祂安葬做的;猶大卻以三十塊錢答應出賣耶穌。耶穌和門徒吃逾越節的筵席,預言有人要賣祂,又拿起餅和杯祝謝,分給門徒。
閱讀小提示
留意 的對比:一個女人把極貴的香膏澆在耶穌身上,毫不吝惜;門徒猶大卻為了三十塊錢出賣祂。
點時代可看說明
逾越節紀念以色列人出埃及(出 12 章),耶穌正是在這個節期受難。
馬太福音 第 26 章
商議要捉拿耶穌
1耶穌說完了這一切的話,就對門徒說:When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,
2「你們知道,過兩天是,人子將要被交給人,釘在十字架上。」“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3那時,祭司長和民間的長老聚集在大祭司稱為的院裡。At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4大家商議要用詭計拿住耶穌,殺他,and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.
5只是說:「當節的日子不可,恐怕民間生亂。」“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
女人用香膏澆耶穌
6耶穌在伯大尼家裡,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
7有一個女人拿著一極貴的來,趁耶穌坐席的時候,澆在他的頭上。a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
8門徒看見就很不喜悅,說:「何用這樣的呢!When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
9這香膏可以賣許多錢,窮人。」This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
10耶穌看出他們的意思,就說:「為甚麼這女人呢?她在我身上做的是一件美事。Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
11因為常有窮人和你們同在;只是你們不常有我。The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
12她將這香膏澆在我身上是為我安葬做的。By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.
13我實在告訴你們,普天之下,無論在甚麼地方傳這福音,也要述說這女人所行的,作個紀念。」Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
猶大答應出賣耶穌
14當下,十二門徒裡有一個稱為的,去見祭司長,Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15說:「我把他交給你們,你們願意給我多少錢?」他們就給了他。and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16從那時候,他就找機會要把耶穌交給他們。So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
預備逾越節的筵席
17除酵節的第一天,門徒來問耶穌說:「你吃逾越節的筵席,要我們在哪裡給你預備?」On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18耶穌說:「你們進城去,到某人那裡,對他說:『夫子說:我的時候快到了,我與門徒要在你家裡守逾越節。』」He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”
19門徒遵著耶穌所吩咐的就去預備了逾越節的筵席。So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
你們中間有一個人要賣我
20到了晚上,耶穌和十二個門徒坐席。When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.
21正吃的時候,耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們,你們中間有一個人要賣我了。」And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
22他們就甚憂愁,一個一個地問他說:「主,是我嗎?」They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
23耶穌回答說:「同我的,就是他要賣我。Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.
24人子必要去世,正如經上指著他所寫的;但賣人子的人有禍了!那人不生在世上倒好。」The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25賣耶穌的猶大問他說:「拉比,是我嗎?」耶穌說:「。」Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
餅和杯
26他們吃的時候,耶穌拿起餅來,祝福,就,遞給門徒,說:「你們拿著吃,這是我的身體」;While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
27又拿起杯來,祝謝了,遞給他們,說:「你們都喝這個;Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
28因為這是我,為多人流出來,使罪得赦。This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29但我告訴你們,從今以後,我不再喝這,直到我在我父的國裡同你們喝新的那日子。」I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
唱詩往橄欖山去
30他們,就出來往橄欖山去。And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
摘要
馬太福音二十六章開頭,耶穌預告自己將在逾越節被釘十字架;同時祭司長和長老密謀要殺害祂。一位女人以極貴的香膏澆在耶穌頭上,耶穌稱許她是為安葬預備,門徒卻認為是枉費;猶大隨後以三十塊錢出賣耶穌。最後晚餐中,耶穌設立聖餐,以餅和杯表明祂的身體與立約之血,為多人流出使罪得赦。
反思問題
- 那位女人不計代價傾倒香膏獻給耶穌,你在信仰生活中是否有過類似全然擺上、不顧旁人眼光的經歷?
- 猶大為了三十塊錢出賣主,世上哪些事物最容易誘惑你在信仰上妥協或偏離?
- 耶穌在最後晚餐中說『這是我立約的血,為多人流出來,使罪得赦』,每次領受聖餐時,你如何更深地體會這份恩典?
