旧约以西结书 45:9–46:24
前情提要
上回说到
昨天():东门要关闭,因为耶和华由这门进入;神责备以色列让未受割礼的外邦人进入圣地,走迷的利未人只能看守殿宇,忠心的撒督子孙才能近前事奉,并列出祭司的规矩;最后划出归耶和华的圣供地和王的地业。
今天你会读到
神吩咐以色列的王要施行公平公义,用公道的天平和量器,并列出百姓要奉给王的供物,以及王在节期、月朔、安息日要预备的祭(45 章)。正月要洁净圣所、守逾越节,七月十五日也要守节七日。46 章规定安息日、月朔和每日早晨的燔祭,王和百姓进出圣殿的门,王赐产业的限制,以及煮祭物的地方。
阅读小提示
先讲公平和公道的天平,再讲献祭:神看重的不只是礼仪,也看重领袖怎样对待百姓; 也禁止王夺取民的产业。

以西结书 第 45 章
王要施行公平和公义
9主耶和华如此说:“以色列的王啊,你们应当知足,要除掉强暴和抢夺的事,施行公平和公义,不再我的民。这是主耶和华说的。For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’
公道的天平和量器
10你们要用公道天平、公道、公道罢特。You must use honest scales, a just ephah, and a just bath.
11伊法与罢特大小要一样。罢特可盛十分之一,伊法也可盛贺梅珥十分之一,都以贺梅珥的大小为准。The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.
12是二十季拉;二十舍客勒,二十五舍客勒,十五舍客勒,为你们的弥那。The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.
百姓当献的供物
13“你们当献的供物乃是这样:一贺梅珥麦子要献伊法六分之一;一贺梅珥大麦要献伊法六分之一。This is the contribution you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.
14你们献所分定的油,按油的罢特,一柯珥油要献罢特十分之一(原来十罢特就是一贺梅珥)。The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).
15从以色列上每二百羊中,要献一只羊羔。这都可作素祭、燔祭、平安祭,为民赎罪。这是主耶和华说的。And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.
王的本分
16此地的民都要奉上这供物给以色列中的王。All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.
17王的本分是在节期、、安息日,就是以色列家一切的节期,奉上燔祭、素祭、奠祭。他要预备赎罪祭、素祭、燔祭,和平安祭,为以色列家赎罪。”And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.
正月洁净圣所
18主耶和华如此说:“正月初一日,你要取无残疾的公牛犊,洁净圣所。This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.
19祭司要取些赎罪祭牲的血,抹在殿的门柱上和坛磴台的四角上,并内院的门框上。And the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.
20本月初七日(七十士译本是七月初一日)也要为的和犯罪的如此行,为殿赎罪。You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.
逾越节和七月的节期
21“正月十四日,你们要守,守节七日,要吃无酵饼。On the fourteenth day of the first month you are to observe the Passover, a feast of seven days, during which unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22当日,王要为自己和国内的众民预备一只公牛作赎罪祭。On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
23这节的七日,每日他要为耶和华预备无残疾的公牛七只、公绵羊七只为燔祭。每日又要预备公山羊一只为赎罪祭。Each day during the seven days of the feast, he shall provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a male goat for a sin offering.
24他也要预备素祭,就是为一只公牛同献一伊法细面,为一只公绵羊同献一伊法细面,每一伊法细面加油一。He shall also provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain.
25七月十五日守节的时候,七日他都要如此行,照逾越节的赎罪祭、燔祭、素祭,和油的条例一样。”During the seven days of the feast that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.’
以西结书 第 46 章
安息日和月朔的敬拜
1主耶和华如此说:“内院朝东的门,在办理事务的六日内必须关闭;惟有安息日和月朔必须敞开。“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The gate of the inner court that faces east must be kept shut during the six days of work, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.
2王要从这门的廊进入,站在门框旁边。祭司要为他预备燔祭和平安祭,他就要在门槛那里敬拜,然后出去。这门直到晚上不可关闭。The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand by the gatepost, while the priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in worship at the threshold of the gate and then depart, but the gate must not be shut until evening.
3在安息日和月朔,国内的居民要在这门口,耶和华面前敬拜。On the Sabbaths and New Moons the people of the land are also to bow in worship before the LORD at the entrance to that gateway.
4安息日,王所献与耶和华的燔祭要用无残疾的羊羔六只,无残疾的公绵羊一只;The burnt offering that the prince presents to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be six unblemished male lambs and an unblemished ram.
5同献的素祭要为公绵羊献一伊法细面,为羊羔而献,一伊法细面加油一欣。The grain offering with the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he is able, along with a hin of oil per ephah.
6当月朔,要献无残疾的公牛犊一只,羊羔六只,公绵羊一只,都要无残疾的。On the day of the New Moon he shall offer a young, unblemished bull, six lambs, and a ram without blemish.
7他也要预备素祭,为公牛献一伊法细面,为公绵羊献一伊法细面,为羊羔照他的力量而献,一伊法细面加油一欣。He is to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is able with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.
8王进入的时候必由这门的廊而入,也必由此而出。When the prince enters, he shall go in through the portico of the gateway, and he shall go out the same way.
从对面的门出去
9在各节期,国内居民朝见耶和华的时候,从北门进入敬拜的,必由南门而出;从南门进入的,必由北门而出。不可从所入的门而出,必要直往前行,由对门而出。When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts, whoever enters by the north gate to worship must go out by the south gate, and whoever enters by the south gate must go out by the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which he entered, but each must go out by the opposite gate.
10民进入,王也要在民中进入;民出去,王也要一同出去。When the people enter, the prince shall go in with them, and when they leave, he shall leave.
节期的素祭和甘心祭
11“在节期和圣会的日子同献的素祭,要为一只公牛献一伊法细面,为一只公绵羊献一伊法细面,为羊羔照他的力量而献,一伊法细面加油一欣。At the festivals and appointed feasts, the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as one is able to give with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.
12王预备燔祭或平安祭,就是向耶和华甘心献的,当有人为他开朝东的门。他就预备燔祭和平安祭,与安息日预备的一样,献毕就出去。他出去之后,当有人将门关闭。”When the prince makes a freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.
每日早晨的燔祭
13“每日,你要预备无残疾一岁的羊羔一只,献与耶和华为燔祭;要每早晨预备。And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the LORD; you are to offer it every morning.
14每早晨也要预备同献的素祭,细面一伊法六分之一,并油一欣三分之一,细面。这素祭要常献与耶和华为永远的定例。You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.
15每早晨要这样预备羊羔、素祭,并油为常献的燔祭。”Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’
王的产业
16主耶和华如此说:“王若将产业赐给他的儿子,就成了他儿子的产业,那是他们承受为业的。This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons as an inheritance, it will belong to his descendants. It will become their property by inheritance.
17倘若王将一分产业赐给他的臣仆,就成了他臣仆的产业;到仍要归与王。至于王的产业,必归与他的儿子。But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will belong to that servant until the year of freedom; then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs only to his sons; it shall be theirs.
18王不可夺取民的产业,以致驱逐他们离开所承受的;他要从自己的地业中,将产业赐给他儿子,免得我的民分散,各人离开所承受的。”The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people by evicting them from their property. He is to provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people will be displaced from his property.’”
煮祭物的地方
19那带我的,将我从门旁进入之处、领进为祭司预备的圣屋,是朝北的,见后头西边有一块地。Then the man brought me through the entrance at the side of the gate into the holy chambers facing north, which belonged to the priests, and he showed me a place there at the far western end
20他对我说:“这是祭司煮赎愆祭、赎罪祭,烤素祭之地,免得带到外院,使民成圣。”and said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.”
21他又带我到外院,使我经过院子的四,见每拐角各有一个院子。Then he brought me into the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw a separate court in each of its corners.
22院子四拐角的院子,周围有墙,每院长四十肘,宽三十肘。四拐角院子的尺寸都是一样,In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. Each of the four corner areas had the same dimensions.
23其中周围有一排房子,房子内有煮肉的地方。Around the inside of each of the four courts was a row of masonry with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides.
24他对我说:“这都是煮肉的房子,殿内的要在这里煮民的祭物。”And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the sacrifices offered by the people.”
摘要
以西结书这段经文详述了圣地的分配原则:圣供地归祭司与利未人,城地归全民,王地在两旁;神严厉要求君王施行公平公义、不欺压百姓,并设立公道的度量衡。接着规定了各节期(逾越节、住棚节、安息日、月朔)的献祭条例,包括赎罪祭、燔祭、素祭与平安祭的细节,以及王在敬拜中的角色与进出圣殿的秩序。此外,神明确禁止王夺取百姓产业,保障民众的土地权益,并指定殿中煮祭物的场所,使圣与俗有清楚分界。
反思问题
- 神要求君王‘除掉强暴和抢夺、施行公平公义’,在你所处的职场或群体中,你如何实践公正与诚信?
- 经文中敬拜的秩序与献祭的细节反映了神对圣洁的重视,这提醒你在个人灵修和教会敬拜中,应以怎样的态度来到神面前?
- 神禁止王夺取百姓产业,显示祂对弱势者的保护。你在日常生活中,如何关顾身边资源较少或处境较弱的人?
新约约翰一书 1:1–2:11
书卷介绍:约翰一书一般书信
神就是光,神就是爱,信靠祂儿子的人确知自己有永生。
当时有人离开教会,教导错误的道理,否认耶稣是成了肉身的基督。约翰写这封信,帮助信徒分辨真假,并确信自己的救恩。他说明真正认识神的人会行在光明中、遵守神的命令、彼此相爱。约翰一再强调“神就是爱”,并说他写这信是要叫信神儿子之名的人知道自己有永生。
前情提要
上回说到
昨天读完彼得后书:彼得说末世必有好讥诮的人质疑主的再来,但主看一日如千年,祂还没有来是宽容人,愿人人悔改;信徒要圣洁敬虔,盼望新天新地。今天开始读约翰壹书。
今天你会读到
约翰见证他亲眼看过、亲手摸过的“生命之道”,好让读者与神相交,喜乐充足。神就是光:在光明中行的人,耶稣的血洗净一切的罪;若认自己的罪,神必赦免。若有人犯罪,有中保耶稣基督。认识神的人会遵守祂的诫命;爱弟兄的住在光明中,恨弟兄的仍在黑暗里。
阅读小提示
和 要一起读:约翰写信“是要叫你们不犯罪”,但犯了罪的时候不必躲藏,因为“我们有一位中保”。
点时代可看说明
信中没有写出作者的名字;传统认为是使徒约翰晚年在以弗所写的,约主后 85–95 年。
约翰壹书 第 1 章
生命之道
1论到从起初原有的,就是我们所听见、所看见、亲眼看过、亲手的。That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.
2(这生命已经显现出来,我们也看见过,现在又作见证,将原与父同在、且显现与我们那永远的生命传给你们。)And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
3我们将所看见、所听见的传给你们,使你们与我们。我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的。We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4我们将这些话写给你们,使你们(有古卷:我们)的喜乐充足。We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
神就是光
5神就是光,在他毫无黑暗。这是我们从主所听见、又报给你们的信息。And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
6我们若说是与 神相交,却仍在黑暗里行,就是说谎话,不行真理了。If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7我们若在光明中行,如同 神在光明中,就彼此相交,他儿子也洗净我们一切的罪。But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
若认自己的罪
8我们若说自己无罪,便是自欺,真理不在我们心里了。If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9我们若自己的罪, 神是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义。If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10我们若说自己没有犯过罪,便是以 神为说谎的,他的道也不在我们心里了。If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
约翰壹书 第 2 章
我们有一位中保
1我小子们哪,我将这些话写给你们,是要叫你们不犯罪。若有人犯罪,在父那里我们有一位,就是那义者耶稣基督。My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
2他为我们的罪作了,不是单为我们的罪,也是为普天下人的罪。He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
遵守主的诫命
3我们若遵守他的诫命,就晓得是认识他。By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
4人若说“我认识他”,却不遵守他的诫命,便是说谎话的,真理也不在他心里了。If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5凡遵守主道的,爱 神的心在他里面实在是的。从此,我们知道我们是在主里面。But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:
6人若说他在主里面,就该自己照主所行的去行。Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
新命令与旧命令
7亲爱的弟兄啊,我写给你们的,不是一条新命令,乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令;这旧命令就是你们所听见的道。Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.
8再者,我写给你们的,是一条,在主是真的,在你们也是真的;因为黑暗,真光已经照耀。Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
爱弟兄的住在光明中
9人若说自己在光明中,却恨他的弟兄,他到如今还是在黑暗里。If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
10爱弟兄的,就是住在光明中,在他并没有。Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
11惟独恨弟兄的,是在黑暗里,且在黑暗里行,也不知道往哪里去,因为黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
摘要
约翰一书开篇宣告生命之道是使徒们亲眼看见、亲手摸过的真实见证,传递的目的是使信徒与父及子耶稣基督相交,并得着充足的喜乐。书信强调‘神就是光’,行在光明中才能真正与神相交,并靠耶稣的血得洁净;若否认自己的罪便是自欺,但认罪之人必蒙赦免。接着约翰教导认识神的标记在于遵守诫命,尤其是彼此相爱的命令——爱弟兄的住在光明中,恨弟兄的仍在黑暗里,借此分辨真实的信仰生命。
反思问题
- 约翰强调‘认罪’是与神恢复关系的关键,你是否有尚未在神面前坦诚面对的罪或软弱?什么拦阻你向神敞开?
- ‘人若说他住在主里面,就该自己照主所行的去行’——回顾过去一周,你的行为与决定是否反映出你与基督的关系?
- 经文将爱弟兄与行在光明中直接连结,在你的教会或团契生活中,有没有需要主动修复或深化的关系?
