旧约民数记 1:1–2:34

书卷介绍:民数记律法书

以色列人因不信在旷野漂流,神却信实地带领新一代走向应许之地。

书名来自书中两次数点以色列人的人数。以色列人从西乃山出发,原本很快就能进入迦南,却因为听了十个探子的恶信而不信神,结果在旷野漂流四十年。这段期间百姓一再抱怨、背叛,神也一再管教和保守他们。最后,新一代来到约旦河东的摩押平原,预备进入应许之地。

前情提要

上回说到

昨天读完了利未记():神警告背约的人会受到一层层加重的惩罚,最后被掳到列国,但神必记念与先祖所立的约;第 27 章讲许愿奉献的估价和赎回,以及地上出产的十分之一归给耶和华。

今天你会读到

开始读民数记。出埃及后第二年二月初一,神吩咐摩西数点以色列中二十岁以上能打仗的男丁,各支派派一位首领协助,总数是六十万零三千五百五十名;利未人不数在其中,专责看守帐幕。第 2 章规定十二支派围着会幕安营、按次序起行。

阅读小提示

留意 、:会幕在全营的正中间,各支派围着它安营,连行军时会幕也在队伍中间。神的同在是整个民族生活的中心。

点时代可看说明

民数记从出埃及后第二年二月()写到第四十年,记载以色列人在旷野的经历;传统认为是摩西所写。

民数记 第 1 章

数点能打仗的男丁

1以色列人出埃及地后,第二年二月初一日,耶和华在、会幕中晓谕摩西说:On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:

2“你要按以色列全会众的家室、宗族、人名的数目计算所有的男丁。“Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.

3凡以色列中,从,能出去打仗的,你和亚伦要照他们的军队数点。You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.

4每支派中必有一人作本支派的族长,帮助你们。And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.

各支派的首领

5他们的名字:属流便的,有示丢珥的儿子以利蓿;These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

6属西缅的,有苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑;from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;

7属犹大的,有亚米拿达的儿子;from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;

8属以萨迦的,有苏押的儿子拿坦业;from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;

9属西布伦的,有希伦的儿子以利押;from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;

10、属以法莲的,有亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛;属玛拿西的,有比大蓿的儿子迦玛列;from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud, and from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;

11属便雅悯的,有基多尼的儿子亚比但;from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;

12属但的,有亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢;from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;

13属亚设的,有俄兰的儿子帕结;from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran;

14属迦得的,有丢珥的儿子以利雅萨;from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;

15属拿弗他利的,有以南的儿子亚希拉。and from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”

16这都是从会中选召的,各作本支派的首领,都是以色列军中的。”These men were appointed from the congregation; they were the leaders of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the clans of Israel.

按家谱登记

17于是,摩西、亚伦带着这些按名指定的人,So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,

18当二月初一日招聚全会众。会众就照他们的家室、宗族、人名的数目,从二十岁以外的,都。and on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older,

19耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,他就怎样在西奈的旷野数点他们。just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai:

各支派被数的人数

20–21以色列的长子,流便子孙的后代,照着家室、宗族、人名的数目,从二十岁以外,凡能出去打仗、被数的男丁,共有四万六千五百名。From the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, according to the records of their clans and families, counting one by one the names of every male twenty years of age or older who could serve in the army, those registered to the tribe of Reuben numbered 46,500.

总数六十万三千五百五十

44这些就是被数点的,是摩西、亚伦,和以色列中十二个首领所数点的;这十二个人各作各宗族的代表。These were the men numbered by Moses and Aaron, with the assistance of the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family.

45–46这样,凡以色列人中被数的,照着宗族,从二十岁以外,能出去打仗、被数的,共有六十万零三千五百五十名。So all the Israelites twenty years of age or older who could serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families. And all those counted totaled 603,550.

利未人不被数点

47利未人却没有按着支派数在其中,The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.

48因为耶和华晓谕摩西说:For the LORD had said to Moses:

49“惟独利未支派你不可数点,也不可在以色列人中计算他们的总数。“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.

50只要派利未人管和其中的器具,并属乎帐幕的;他们要抬(或译:搬运)帐幕和其中的器具,并要办理帐幕的事,在帐幕的四围安营。Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.

51帐幕将往前行的时候,利未人要拆卸;将支搭的时候,利未人要竖起。近前来的必被治死。Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.

52以色列人支搭帐棚,要照他们的军队,各归本营,各归本纛。The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.

53但利未人要在法柜帐幕的四围安营,免得以色列会众;利未人并要谨守法柜的帐幕。”But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”

54以色列人就这样行。凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的,他们就照样行了。Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

民数记 第 2 章

围着会幕安营

1耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说:Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron:

33惟独利未人没有数在以色列人中,是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的。But the Levites were not counted among the other Israelites, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

34以色列人就这样行,各人照他们的家室、宗族归于本纛,安营起行,都是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的。So the Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; they camped under their standards in this way and set out in the same way, each man with his clan and his family.

摘要

耶和华在西乃旷野吩咐摩西数点以色列各支派二十岁以上能出征的男丁,共计六十万零三千五百五十人,并指派十二位族长协助。利未人因负责看管会幕与法柜而不列入军队人数。第二章记载十二支派按东南西北四方、各归本纛围绕会幕安营与行军的秩序,犹大营居首、但营殿后,利未营居中。整段经文呈现神对祂子民的组织与治理——每个人都被数算、各有定位,彰显神既是军队的统帅,也是百姓生活的中心。

反思问题

  1. 神仔细数点每一个人,这对你理解自己在神眼中的价值有什么启发?
  2. 会幕被安置在营地正中央,你的生活中是否也将神放在核心位置?有哪些实际的调整可以做?
  3. 以色列人各按本位、顺服安营,在你所属的教会或团体中,你如何看待自己的角色与服事岗位?

新约马可福音 5:21–43

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():耶稣斥责风浪,海就平静了,门徒惊问“这到底是谁”;到了格拉森人的地方,祂从一个人身上赶出名叫“群”的污鬼,鬼进入猪群,那人得了医治,在低加坡里传扬耶稣为他做的大事。

今天你会读到

耶稣回到加利利海西岸,管会堂的睚鲁求祂医治快要死的女儿;途中,一个患血漏十二年的女人摸了耶稣的衣裳就痊愈了。这时传来女孩已死的消息,耶稣说“不要怕,只要信!”,到了家里拉着她的手,叫她起来。

阅读小提示

两个故事交织在一起:女人患病十二年,女孩十二岁(、)。一个长年被当作不洁净,一个是会堂领袖的女儿;耶稣对两人都温柔地称呼“女儿”、“闺女”。

点时代可看说明

约在主后 28 年,耶稣在加利利传道时期;马可常把两个故事穿插在一起,让它们互相说明。

马可福音 第 5 章

睚鲁求耶稣救女儿

21耶稣坐船又渡到那边去,就有许多人到他那里聚集;他正在海边上。When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22有一个人,名叫睚鲁,来见耶稣,就俯伏在他脚前,A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23再三地求他,说:“我的小女儿快要死了,求你去按手在她身上,使她痊愈,得以活了。”and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”

24耶稣就和他同去。有许多人跟随拥挤他。So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

患血漏的女人摸耶稣的衣裳

25有一个女人,患了十二年的,And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26在好些医生手里受了许多的苦,又花尽了她所有的,一点也不见好,反倒更重了。She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.

27她听见耶稣的事,就从后头来,杂在众人中间,摸耶稣的衣裳,When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28意思说:“我只摸他的衣裳,就必痊愈。”For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29于是她血漏的立刻干了;她便觉得身上的灾病好了。Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

耶稣找出摸祂的人

30耶稣心里觉得有能力从自己身上出去,就在众人中间转过来,说:“谁摸我的衣裳?”At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

31门徒对他说:“你看众人拥挤你,还说‘谁摸我’吗?”His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

32耶稣周围观看,要见做这事的女人。But He kept looking around to see who had done this.

33那女人知道在自己身上所成的事,就,来俯伏在耶稣跟前,将实情全告诉他。Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.

34耶稣对她说:“女儿,,平平安安地回去吧!你的灾病痊愈了。”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

不要怕,只要信

35还说话的时候,有人从管会堂的家里来,说:“你的女儿死了,何必还呢?”While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36耶稣听见所说的话,就对管会堂的说:“不要怕,只要信!”But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

37于是带着同去,不许别人跟随他。And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

睚鲁家中的哭声

38他们来到管会堂的家里;耶稣看见那里,并有人大大地,When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39进到里面,就对他们说:“为什么乱嚷哭泣呢?孩子不是死了,是睡着了。”He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

40他们就耶稣。耶稣把他们都出去,就带着孩子的父母和跟随的人进了孩子所在的地方,And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.

大利大,古米

41就拉着孩子的手,对她说:“!”(翻出来就是说:“闺女,我吩咐你起来!”)Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42那闺女立时起来走。他们就大大地惊奇;闺女已经十二岁了。Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

43耶稣切切地嘱咐他们,不要叫人知道这事,又吩咐给她东西吃。Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.

摘要

睚鲁恳求耶稣去医治垂死的女儿,途中一位患血漏十二年的女人因信心摸了耶稣的衣裳而立刻痊愈,耶稣称许她的信心并赐她平安。随后传来睚鲁女儿已死的消息,耶稣对他说“不要怕,只要信”,进入屋内拉着女孩的手使她复活。两个交织的神迹显明耶稣超越疾病与死亡的权柄,也揭示信心是经历神大能的关键。

反思问题

  1. 血漏妇人在绝望中仍主动寻求耶稣,当你面对长期未解决的困境时,你是否仍愿意凭信心来到主面前?
  2. 耶稣对睚鲁说‘不要怕,只要信’,在你生命中有哪些令你恐惧的处境需要以信心回应?
  3. 耶稣医治后吩咐给女孩东西吃,这个细节如何让你看见神对人全面(灵性与日常需要)的关怀?
