前情提要

上回说到

昨天():神从会幕中呼叫摩西,教导三种献祭:整只烧在坛上的燔祭、用细面和油做的素祭(不可有酵,要用盐调和),以及平安祭(脂油要烧给神)。献祭的人要按手在祭牲头上,表示这祭牲代表自己。

今天你会读到

今天读两种为罪献的祭。赎罪祭是为误犯的罪:受膏的祭司、全会众、官长和平民,各按身分献不同的祭牲;穷人可以献斑鸠、雏鸽,甚至细面。赎愆祭是为冒犯圣物或亏负邻舍:除了献祭,还要照数赔还,另加五分之一。

阅读小提示

留意 –7:欺骗、亏负邻舍,也是“干犯耶和华”()。真正的悔改不只是向神献祭,还要向受亏损的人赔偿,另外加五分之一。

利未记 第 4 章

为误犯的罪献赎罪祭

1耶和华对摩西说:Then the LORD said to Moses,

2“你晓谕以色列人说:若有人在耶和华所吩咐不可行的什么事上了一件,“Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:

受膏祭司的赎罪祭

3或是犯罪,使百姓陷在罪里,就当为他所犯的罪把没有残疾的公牛犊献给耶和华为赎罪祭。If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

4他要牵公牛到会幕门口,在耶和华面前按手在牛的头上,把牛宰于耶和华面前。He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.

5受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血带到会幕,Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.

6把指头于血中,在耶和华面前对着圣所的,The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

7又要把些血抹在会幕内、耶和华面前香坛的四角上,再把公牛所有的血倒在会幕门口、燔祭坛的脚那里。The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

8要把赎罪祭公牛所有的脂油,乃是盖脏的脂油和脏上所有的脂油,Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

9并两个腰子和腰子上的脂油,就是靠腰两旁的脂油,与肝上的网子和腰子,一概取下,both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—

10与平安祭公牛上所取的一样;祭司要把这些烧在燔祭的坛上。just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11公牛的皮和所有的肉,并头、腿、脏、腑、粪,But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—

12就是全公牛,要搬到洁净之地、倒灰之所,用火烧在柴上。all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.

全会众的赎罪祭

13“以色列全会众若行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的什么事,误犯了罪,是、会众看不出来的,Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,

14会众一知道所犯的罪就要献一只公牛犊为赎罪祭,牵到会幕前。when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.

15会中的长老就要在耶和华面前按手在牛的头上,将牛在耶和华面前宰了。The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.

16受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血带到会幕,Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,

17把指头蘸于血中,在耶和华面前对着幔子弹血七次,and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.

18又要把些血抹在会幕内、耶和华面前坛的四角上,再把所有的血倒在会幕门口、燔祭坛的脚那里。He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

19把牛所有的脂油都取下,烧在坛上;And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

20收拾这牛,与那赎罪祭的牛一样。祭司要为他们赎罪,他们必蒙赦免。He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.

21他要把牛搬到营外烧了,像烧头一个牛一样;这是会众的赎罪祭。Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

官长的赎罪祭

22“若行了耶和华—他 神所吩咐不可行的什么事,误犯了罪,When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.

23所犯的罪自己知道了,就要牵一只没有残疾的公山羊为供物,When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.

24按手在羊的头上,宰于耶和华面前、宰燔祭牲的地方;这是赎罪祭。He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.

25祭司要用指头蘸些赎罪祭牲的血,抹在燔祭坛的四角上,把血倒在燔祭坛的脚那里。Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26所有的脂油,祭司都要烧在坛上,正如平安祭的脂油一样。至于他的罪,祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.

平民的赎罪祭

27“民中若有人行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的什么事,误犯了罪,And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.

28所犯的罪自己知道了,就要为所犯的罪牵一只没有残疾的母山羊为供物,When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.

29按手在赎罪祭牲的头上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了。He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.

30祭司要用指头蘸些羊的血,抹在燔祭坛的四角上,所有的血都要倒在坛的脚那里,Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31又要把羊所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭牲的脂油一样。祭司要在坛上焚烧,在耶和华面前作为馨香的祭,为他赎罪,他必蒙赦免。Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

32“人若牵一只绵羊羔为赎罪祭的供物,必要牵一只没有残疾的母羊,If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.

33按手在赎罪祭牲的头上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了作赎罪祭。And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

34祭司要用指头蘸些赎罪祭牲的血,抹在燔祭坛的四角上,所有的血都要倒在坛的脚那里,Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

35又要把所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭羊羔的脂油一样。祭司要按献给耶和华火祭的条例,烧在坛上。至于所犯的罪,祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。”And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the food offerings to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

利未记 第 5 章

需要献赎罪祭的几种情形

1“若有人听见(或译:若有人听见叫人发誓的声音),他本是见证,却不把所看见的、所知道的说出来,这就是罪;他要担当他的罪孽。“If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed, whether he has seen it or learned of it, he shall bear the iniquity.

2或是有人摸了不洁的物,无论是不洁的死兽,是不洁的死畜,是不洁的死虫,他却不知道,因此成了不洁,就有了罪。Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of any unclean wild animal or livestock or crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.

3或是他摸了别人的污秽,无论是染了什么污秽,他却不知道,一知道了就有了罪。Or if he touches human uncleanness—anything by which one becomes unclean—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty.

4或是有人嘴里,要行恶,要行善,无论人在什么事上冒失发誓,他却不知道,一知道了就要在这其中的一件上有了罪。Or if someone swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do anything good or evil—in whatever matter a man may rashly pronounce an oath—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty in the matter.

5他有了罪的时候,就要所犯的罪,If someone incurs guilt in one of these ways, he must confess the sin he has committed,

6并要因所犯的罪,把他的赎愆祭牲—就是羊群中的母羊,或是一只羊羔,或是一只山羊—牵到耶和华面前为赎罪祭。至于他的罪,祭司要为他赎了。and he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD for the sin he has committed: a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering. And the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin.

穷人可献斑鸠、雏鸽

7“他的献一只羊羔,就要因所犯的罪,把两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽带到耶和华面前为赎愆祭:一只作赎罪祭,一只作燔祭。If, however, he cannot afford a lamb, he may bring to the LORD as restitution for his sin two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.

8把这些带到祭司那里,祭司就要先把那赎罪祭献上,从鸟的颈项上揪下头来,只是不可把鸟撕断,He is to bring them to the priest, who shall first present the one for the sin offering. He is to twist its head at the front of its neck without severing it;

9也把些赎罪祭牲的血弹在坛的旁边,剩下的血要流在坛的脚那里;这是赎罪祭。then he is to sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood is drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

10他要照例献第二只为燔祭。至于他所犯的罪,祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。And the priest must prepare the second bird as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

更穷的可献细面

11“他的力量若不够献两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽,就要因所犯的罪带供物来,就是细面伊法十分之一为赎罪祭;不可加上油,也不可加上乳香,因为是赎罪祭。But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he may bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. He must not put olive oil or frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.

12他要把供物带到祭司那里,祭司要取出自己的一把来作为纪念,按献给耶和华火祭的条例烧在坛上;这是赎罪祭。He is to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful from it as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar atop the food offerings to the LORD; it is a sin offering.

13至于他在这几件事中所犯的罪,祭司要为他赎了,他必蒙赦免。剩下的面都归与祭司,和素祭一样。”In this way the priest will make atonement for him for any of these sins he has committed, and he will be forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.”

冒犯圣物的赎愆祭

14耶和华晓谕摩西说:Then the LORD said to Moses,

15“人若在耶和华的上误犯了罪,有了过犯,就要照你所估的,按圣所的舍客勒拿银子,将牲—就是羊群中一只没有残疾的公绵羊—牵到耶和华面前为赎愆祭;“If someone acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s holy things, he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram from the flock, of proper value in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.

16并且他因在圣物上的差错要偿还,,都给祭司。祭司要用赎愆祭的公绵羊为他赎罪,他必蒙赦免。Regarding any holy thing he has harmed, he must make restitution by adding a fifth of its value to it and giving it to the priest, who will make atonement on his behalf with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.

不知不觉犯了罪

17“若有人犯罪,行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的什么事,他虽然不知道,还是有了罪,就要担当他的罪孽;If someone sins and violates any of the LORD’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.

18也要照你所估定的价,从羊群中牵一只没有残疾的公绵羊来,给祭司作赎愆祭。至于他误行的那错事,祭司要为他赎罪,他必蒙赦免。He is to bring to the priest an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock as a guilt offering. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the wrong he has committed in ignorance, and he will be forgiven.

19这是赎愆祭,因他在耶和华面前实在有了罪。”It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the LORD.”

利未记 第 6 章

亏负邻舍要赔还

1耶和华晓谕摩西说:And the LORD said to Moses,

2“若有人犯罪,干犯耶和华,在邻舍交付他的物上,或是在行了诡诈,或是抢夺人的财物,或是欺压邻舍,“If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighbor

3或是在捡了遗失的物上行了诡诈,说谎起誓,在这一切的事上犯了什么罪;or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—

4他既犯了罪,有了过犯,就要归还他所抢夺的,或是因欺压所得的,或是人交付他的,或是人遗失他所捡的物,once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,

5或是他因什么物起了假誓,就要如数归还,另外加上五分之一,在查出他有罪的日子要交还本主。or anything else about which he has sworn falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.

6也要照你所估定的价,把赎愆祭牲—就是羊群中一只没有残疾的公绵羊—牵到耶和华面前,给祭司为赎愆祭。Then he must bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock.

7祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪;他无论行了什么事,使他有了罪,都必蒙赦免。”In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”

摘要

利未记第四至六章记载赎罪祭与赎愆祭的条例。神针对不同身分的人——受膏祭司、全会众、官长、平民——因误犯而犯罪时,分别规定献祭的祭牲与仪式,强调按手、洒血、焚脂等程序以得赦免。第五章进一步列出需献赎愆祭的情形,包括隐瞒见证、触摸不洁之物、冒失发誓等,并体恤贫穷者可按力量献较简朴的祭物。第六章前段指出凡欺诈邻舍、抢夺财物、捡遗失物行诡诈者,除了献赎愆祭外,还必须如数归还并加上五分之一作为赔偿,方可蒙赦免。

反思问题

  1. 神为不同身分的人设立不同的赎罪祭牲,这对你理解“责任越大、问责越严”有何启发?在你目前的角色中,你如何更谨慎地面对自己的影响力?
  2. 赎愆祭要求犯罪者不仅献祭,还要对受害者作出实际赔偿(归还加五分之一)。当你意识到自己亏欠了他人,你是否愿意不只口头道歉,更采取具体行动来修复关系?
  3. 神容许力量不足的人献较简朴的祭物,这显出神怎样的心意?这对你在信仰生活中感到自己不够好或资源不足时,带来什么安慰?

新约马太福音 27:1–26

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():耶稣被带到大祭司该亚法那里,公会找人作假见证。耶稣承认自己是神的儿子基督,大祭司就说祂说了僭妄的话,众人吐唾沫、打祂。同时彼得在院子里三次不认主,鸡叫时想起耶稣的话,就出去痛哭。

今天你会读到

早晨,宗教领袖把耶稣解去交给巡抚彼拉多。犹大后悔,把三十块钱丢在殿里,出去吊死了,祭司长用这钱买了窑户的田。彼拉多审问耶稣,耶稣不回答;他想按常例释放耶稣,众人却要求释放巴拉巴,喊着要把耶稣钉十字架。彼拉多洗手推卸责任,把耶稣交给人钉十字架。

阅读小提示

留意这段几次宣告耶稣无罪:犹大说他卖了“无辜之人的血”(),彼拉多的夫人称祂为“这义人”(),彼拉多也问“他做了甚么恶事呢”()。

点时代可看说明

犹太公会没有执行死刑的权柄(),所以要把耶稣交给罗马巡抚彼拉多。

马太福音 第 27 章

解去交给彼拉多

1到了早晨,众祭司长和民间的长老大家商议要治死耶稣,When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

2就把他捆绑,,交给。They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

犹大后悔自尽

3这时候,卖耶稣的犹大看见耶稣已经定了罪,就,把那三十块钱拿回来给祭司长和长老,说:When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

4“我卖了无辜之人的血是有罪了。”他们说:“那与我们有什么?你自己吧!”“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5犹大就把那银钱丢在殿里,出去吊死了。So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

用血价买窑户的田

6祭司长拾起银钱来,说:“这是,不可放在库里。”The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7他们商议,就用那银钱买了,为要埋葬外乡人。After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8所以那块田直到今日还叫做“”。That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9这就应了的话,说:“他们用那三十块钱,就是被估定之人的价钱,是以色列人中所估定的,Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

10买了窑户的一块田;这是照着主所吩咐我的。”and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

彼拉多审问耶稣

11耶稣站在巡抚面前;巡抚问他说:“你是犹太人的王吗?”耶稣说:“你说的是。”Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12他被祭司长和长老控告的时候,什么都不回答。And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13彼拉多就对他说:“他们作见证告你这么多的事,你没有听见吗?”Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14耶稣仍不回答,连一句话也不说,以致巡抚甚觉希奇。But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

按常例释放囚犯

15巡抚有一个,每逢这节期,随众人所要的释放一个囚犯给他们。Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16当时有一个出名的囚犯叫。At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17众人聚集的时候,彼拉多就对他们说:“你们要我释放哪一个给你们?是巴拉巴呢?是称为基督的耶稣呢?”So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18巡抚原知道他们是因为嫉妒才把他解了来。For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

彼拉多夫人的梦

19正的时候,他的夫人打发人来说:“这义人的事,你一点不可管,因为我今天在梦中为他受了许多的苦。”While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

众人要求钉十字架

20祭司长和长老众人,求释放巴拉巴,除灭耶稣。But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

21巡抚对众人说:“这两个人,你们要我释放哪一个给你们呢?”他们说:“巴拉巴。”“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

22彼拉多说:“这样,那称为基督的耶稣我怎么办他呢?”他们都说:“把他钉十字架!”“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23巡抚说:“为什么呢?他做了什么恶事呢?”他们便极力地喊着说:“把他钉十字架!”“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

彼拉多洗手

24彼拉多见说也,反要生乱,就拿水在众人面前,说:“流这义人的血,罪不在我,你们承当吧。”When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

25众人都回答说:“他的血归到我们和我们的子孙身上。”All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

26于是彼拉多释放巴拉巴给他们,把耶稣了,交给人钉十字架。So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

摘要

马太福音第二十七章记载耶稣受难的完整过程。犹大见耶稣被定罪后悔恨自尽;彼拉多明知耶稣无罪,却在群众压力下释放巴拉巴、将耶稣交付十字架。耶稣被兵丁戏弄、鞭打,最终被钉在各各他,午正到申初遍地黑暗,耶稣大声喊叫后断气,圣殿幔子从上到下裂为两半,地震磐石崩裂。百夫长见此景象惊呼“这真是神的儿子”。亚利马太的约瑟将耶稣安葬在新坟墓中,祭司长则要求彼拉多派兵把守坟墓,防止门徒偷走身体。

反思问题

  1. 彼拉多明知耶稣无罪却屈从群众压力,你是否曾在明知正确的事上因外界压力而妥协?这段经文如何提醒你在面对压力时持守真理?
  2. 犹大的后悔与真正的悔改有何不同?当你犯错时,你倾向于只停留在自责的情绪中,还是转向神寻求赦免与更新?
  3. 圣殿幔子裂开象征人与神之间的隔阂被除去。耶稣的牺牲如何改变了你与神的关系?你是否真实地活在这份亲近中?
