旧约民数记 27:1–28:31

前情提要

上回说到

昨天(第 26 章):瘟疫之后,神吩咐在摩押平原第二次数点百姓,总数六十万零一千七百三十名,要按人数拈阄分地;上一代除了迦勒和约书亚以外,都已死在旷野。

今天你会读到

西罗非哈的五个女儿为没有儿子的父亲请求产业,神说她们“说得有理”,并定下继承的条例;神叫摩西上亚巴琳山观看应许地,摩西求神立人接续,神指定约书亚,摩西按手在他头上。第 28 章列出每日、安息日、月朔、逾越节和七七节要献的祭。

阅读小提示

留意摩西听到自己不能进迦南时的反应():他没有为自己争取,而是求神立人,“免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般”。耶稣看见群众时也有同样的怜悯()。

点时代可看说明

出埃及后第四十年,在摩押平原;摩西知道自己的时候快到了,开始交接领导。

民数记 第 27 章

西罗非哈的女儿

1属约瑟的儿子玛拿西的各族,有玛拿西的玄孙,玛吉的曾孙,基列的孙子,希弗的儿子西罗非哈的女儿,名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。她们前来,Now the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They approached

2站在会幕门口,在摩西和祭司以利亚撒,并众首领与全会众面前,说:the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the whole congregation, and said,

3“我们的父亲死在旷野。他不与可拉同党聚集攻击耶和华,是;他也没有儿子。“Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the followers of Korah who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.

4为什么因我们的父亲没有儿子就把他的名从他族中除掉呢?求你们在我们父亲的弟兄中分给我们产业。”Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”

5于是,摩西将她们的呈到耶和华面前。So Moses brought their case before the LORD,

女儿承受产业的条例

6耶和华晓谕摩西说:and the LORD answered him,

7“西罗非哈的女儿。你定要在她们父亲的弟兄中,把地分给她们为业;要将她们父亲的产业归给她们。“The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.

8你也要晓谕以色列人说:‘人若死了没有儿子,就要把他的产业归给他的女儿。Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

9他若没有女儿,就要把他的产业给他的弟兄。If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.

10他若没有弟兄,就要把他的产业给他父亲的弟兄。If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11他父亲若没有弟兄,就要把他的产业给他族中,他便要得为业。’这要作以色列人的律例典章,是照耶和华吩咐摩西的。”And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”

摩西观看应许地

12耶和华对摩西说:“你上这,观看我所赐给以色列人的地。Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.

13看了以后,你也必归到你列祖(原文是本民)那里,像你哥哥亚伦一样。After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was;

14因为你们在寻的旷野,当会众争闹的时候,违背了我的命,没有在涌水之地、会众眼前尊我为圣。”(这水就是寻的旷野加低斯米利巴水。)for when the congregation contended in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against My command to show My holiness in their sight regarding the waters.” Those were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin.

立约书亚接续摩西

15摩西对耶和华说:So Moses appealed to the LORD,

16“愿耶和华万人之灵的 神,立一个人治理会众,“May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation

17可以在他们面前,也可以引导他们,免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般。”who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

18耶和华对摩西说:“嫩的儿子约书亚是心中有圣灵的;你将他领来,在他头上,And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.

19使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前,嘱咐他,Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.

20又将你的给他几分,使以色列全会众都听从他。Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.

21他要站在祭司以利亚撒面前;以利亚撒要凭的判断,在耶和华面前为他求问。他和以色列全会众都要遵以利亚撒的命出入。”He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the judgment of the Urim. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him—the entire congregation—will go out and come in.”

22于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的将约书亚领来,使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前,Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,

23按手在他头上,嘱咐他,是照耶和华借摩西所说的话。and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses.

民数记 第 28 章

按日期献的供物

1耶和华晓谕摩西说:Then the LORD said to Moses,

2“你要吩咐以色列人说:‘献给我的供物,就是献给我作馨香火祭的食物,你们要按日期献给我’;“Command the Israelites and say to them: See that you present to Me at its appointed time the food for My food offerings, as a pleasing aroma to Me.

每日常献的燔祭

3又要对他们说:你们要献给耶和华的火祭,就是没有残疾、一岁的公羊羔,每日两只,作为。And tell them that this is the food offering you are to present to the LORD as a regular burnt offering each day: two unblemished year-old male lambs.

4早晨要献一只,黄昏的时候要献一只;Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight,

5又用细面伊法十分之一,并一欣四分之一,调和作为素祭。along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives.

6这是西奈山所命定为常献的燔祭,是献给耶和华为馨香的火祭。This is a regular burnt offering established at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

7为这一只羊羔,要同献奠祭的酒一欣四分之一。在圣所中,你要将奉给耶和华为奠祭。The drink offering accompanying each lamb shall be a quarter hin. Pour out the offering of fermented drink to the LORD in the sanctuary area.

8晚上,你要献那一只羊羔,必照早晨的素祭和同献的奠祭献上,作为馨香的火祭,献给耶和华。”And offer the second lamb at twilight, with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

安息日的祭

9“当安息日,要献两只没有残疾、一岁的公羊羔,并用调油的细面伊法十分之二为素祭,又将同献的奠祭献上。On the Sabbath day, present two unblemished year-old male lambs, accompanied by a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, as well as a drink offering.

10这是每安息日献的燔祭;那常献的燔祭和同献的奠祭在外。”This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

月朔的祭

11“每月朔,你们要将两只公牛犊,一只公绵羊,七只没有残疾、一岁的公羊羔,献给耶和华为燔祭。At the beginning of every month, you are to present to the LORD a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished,

12每只公牛要用调油的细面伊法十分之三作为素祭;那只公羊也用调油的细面伊法十分之二作为素祭;along with three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with the ram,

13每只羊羔要用调油的细面伊法十分之一作为素祭和馨香的燔祭,是献给耶和华的火祭。and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering with each lamb. This is a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

14一只公牛要奠酒半欣,一只公羊要奠酒一欣三分之一,一只羊羔也奠酒一欣四分之一。这是每月的燔祭,一年之中要月月如此。Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine with each bull, a third of a hin with the ram, and a quarter hin with each lamb. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon throughout the year.

15又要将一只公山羊为赎罪祭,献给耶和华;要献在常献的燔祭和同献的奠祭以外。”In addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the LORD as a sin offering.

逾越节和除酵的七日

16“正月十四日是耶和华的逾越节。The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD’s Passover.

17这月十五日是节期,要吃七日。On the fifteenth day of this month, there shall be a feast; for seven days unleavened bread is to be eaten.

18第一日当有;什么都不可做。On the first day there is to be a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.

19当将公牛犊两只,公绵羊一只,一岁的公羊羔七只,都要没有残疾的,用火献给耶和华为燔祭。Present to the LORD a food offering, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished.

20同献的素祭用调油的细面;为一只公牛要献伊法十分之三;为一只公羊要献伊法十分之二;The grain offering shall consist of fine flour mixed with oil; offer three-tenths of an ephah with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah with the ram,

21为那七只羊羔,每只要献伊法十分之一。and a tenth of an ephah with each of the seven lambs.

22并献一只公山羊作赎罪祭,为你们赎罪。Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.

23你们献这些,要在早晨常献的燔祭以外。You are to present these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering.

24一连七日,每日要照这例把馨香火祭的食物献给耶和华,是在常献的燔祭和同献的奠祭以外。Offer the same food each day for seven days as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. It is to be offered with its drink offering and the regular burnt offering.

25第七日当有圣会,什么劳碌的工都不可做。”On the seventh day you shall hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.

七七节

26“庄稼初熟,你们献新素祭给耶和华的日子,当有圣会;什么劳碌的工都不可做。On the day of firstfruits, when you present an offering of new grain to the LORD during the Feast of Weeks, you are to hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.

27只要将公牛犊两只,公绵羊一只,一岁的公羊羔七只,作为馨香的燔祭献给耶和华。Present a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old as a pleasing aroma to the LORD,

28同献的素祭用调油的细面;为每只公牛要献伊法十分之三;为一只公羊要献伊法十分之二;together with their grain offerings of fine flour mixed with oil—three-tenths of an ephah with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah with the ram,

29为那七只羊羔,每只要献伊法十分之一。and a tenth of an ephah with each of the seven lambs.

30并献一只公山羊为你们赎罪。Include one male goat to make atonement for you.

31这些,你们要献在常献的燔祭和同献的素祭并同献的奠祭以外,都要没有残疾的。”Offer them with their drink offerings in addition to the regular burnt offering and its grain offering. The animals must be unblemished.

摘要

西罗非哈的女儿因父亲无子而求继承产业,耶和华裁定她们所求合理,并借此颁布了关于产业继承的律例典章,确保每个家族的产业不致失落。接着,耶和华告知摩西因先前的违命不得进入应许之地,摩西便求神为会众立新领袖,神拣选约书亚接替摩西,藉按手礼公开承接领导职分。最后,耶和华重新颁布每日常献燔祭、安息日、月朔、逾越节与七七节的献祭条例,强调以色列人要按时以无残疾的祭物敬拜神。

反思问题

  1. 西罗非哈的女儿勇敢地为自己的权益发声。在你的生活中,有没有需要信靠神的公义、为正当的事挺身而出的处境?
  2. 摩西虽然不能进入应许之地,仍忠心地为百姓安排接班人。面对自己的限制或未竟之事,你如何学习摩西的顺服与无私?
  3. 神对献祭的时间、数量和品质都有严格要求。这对你日常的灵修生活和敬拜态度有什么提醒?

新约马可福音 13:1–37

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():耶稣回答撒都该人关于复活的问题,指出最大的诫命是爱神和爱人如己,又警告要防备爱虚荣、侵吞寡妇家产的文士;最后称赞穷寡妇投入两个小钱,比众人投的更多。

今天你会读到

门徒赞叹圣殿的宏伟,耶稣预言圣殿要被拆毁,并在橄榄山上回答“甚么时候有这些事”:要谨慎不被迷惑;会有战争、地震、饥荒和逼迫,福音要先传给万民;看见“那行毁坏可憎的”就要逃;人子要驾云降临;那日子没有人知道,所以要警醒。

阅读小提示

这一章的关键字是“谨慎”和“警醒”(、、、、、)。耶稣没有给门徒时间表,而是要他们不被迷惑,忠心做好分派的工。

点时代可看说明

圣殿在主后 70 年被罗马军队焚毁;这一章哪些部分指圣殿被毁、哪些指人子将来降临,解经家看法不一。

马可福音 第 13 章

预言圣殿被拆毁

1耶稣从殿里出来的时候,有一个门徒对他说:“夫子,请看,这是何等的石头!何等的!”As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”

2耶稣对他说:“你看见这大殿宇吗?将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上,不被拆毁了。”“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

门徒私下发问

3耶稣在橄榄山上对圣殿而坐,彼得、雅各、约翰,和暗暗地问他说:While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,

4“请告诉我们,什么时候有这些事呢?这一切事将成的时候有什么预兆呢?”“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”

不要被迷惑

5耶稣说:“你们要谨慎,免得有人迷惑你们。Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.

6将来有好些人冒我的名来,说:‘我是基督’,并且要迷惑许多人。Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

7你们听见打仗和打仗的,不要惊慌。这些事是必须有的,只是末期还没有到。When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

8民要攻打民,国要攻打国;多处必有地震、饥荒。这都是(灾难:原文是生产之难)的起头。Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

为主的名受逼迫

9但你们要谨慎;因为人要把你们交给,并且你们在会堂里要受鞭打,又为我的缘故站在与君王面前,对他们作见证。So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.

10然而,福音必须先传给万民。And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

11人把你们拉去交官的时候,不要预先思虑说什么;到那时候,赐给你们什么话,你们就说什么;因为说话的不是你们,乃是圣灵。But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

12弟兄要把弟兄,父亲要把儿子,送到死地;儿女要起来与父母为敌,害死他们;Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

13并且你们要为我的名被众人恨恶。惟有的,必然得救。”You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

那行毁坏可憎的

14“你们看见那,站在不当站的地方(读这经的人须要会意)。那时,在犹太的,应当逃到山上;So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

15在房上的,不要下来,也不要进去拿家里的东西;Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.

16在田里的,也不要回去取衣裳。And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

17当那些日子,怀孕的和有祸了!How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

18你们应当祈求,叫这些事不在冬天临到。Pray that this will not occur in the winter.

19因为在那些日子必有灾难,自从 神创造万物直到如今,并没有这样的灾难,后来也必没有。For those will be days of tribulation unseen from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.

20若不是主减少那日子,,总没有一个得救的;只是为主的,他将那日子减少了。If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

防备假基督

21那时若有人对你们说:‘看哪,基督在这里’,或说:‘基督在那里’,你们不要信!At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

22因为、假先知将要起来,显神迹奇事,倘若能行,就把选民迷惑了。For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

23你们要谨慎。看哪,凡事我都预先告诉你们了。”So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.

人子驾云降临

24“在那些日子,那灾难以后,日头要变黑了,月亮也不放光,But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

25众星要从天上坠落,天势都要震动。the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

26那时,他们(马太二十四章三十节是地上的万族)要看见人子有大能力、大荣耀,。At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27他要差遣天使,把他的选民,从四方(方:原文是风),从地极直到天边,都招聚了来。”And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

无花果树的比方

28“你们可以从无花果树学个比方:当树枝的时候,你们就知道夏天近了。Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

29这样,你们几时看见这些事成就,也该知道人子(人子:或译 神的国)近了,正在门口了。So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.

30我实在告诉你们,这世代还没有过去,这些事都要成就。Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

31天地要废去,我的话却不能废去。”Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

那日子没有人知道

32“但那日子,那时辰,没有人知道,连天上的使者也不知道,子也不知道,惟有父知道。No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

33你们要谨慎,警醒祈祷,因为你们不晓得那日期几时来到。Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.

看门的要警醒

34这事正如一个人离开本家,寄居外邦,把权柄交给仆人,分派各人当做的工,又吩咐看门的警醒。It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.

35所以,你们要警醒;因为你们不知道家主什么时候来,或晚上,或半夜,或,或早晨;Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.

36恐怕他忽然来到,看见你们睡着了。Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.

37我对你们所说的话,也是对众人说:要警醒!”And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”

摘要

耶稣预言圣殿将被彻底拆毁,并向门徒揭示末世的征兆:假基督的迷惑、战争饥荒、信徒受逼迫,以及空前的大灾难。然而,灾难之后人子将带着大能力与大荣耀驾云降临,招聚选民。耶稣以无花果树的比喻和看门仆人的比喻,反复劝勉门徒要谨慎、警醒、忍耐到底,因为那日子的来临无人能知,惟有父知道。

反思问题

  1. 耶稣多次提醒门徒要‘谨慎’、‘警醒’。在资讯充斥、各种声音纷杂的今天,你如何分辨真理,不被似是而非的教导迷惑?
  2. 耶稣说忍耐到底的必然得救。你目前在信仰中面临哪些考验或压力,需要靠主的力量坚持到底?
  3. 既然主再来的时间无人知晓,你现在的生活方式是否反映出一种随时预备迎见主的态度?有什么需要调整的地方?
