以西結書46:11-18



46:11 「在節期和聖會的日子同獻的素祭,要為一隻公牛獻一伊法細麵,為一隻公綿羊獻一伊法細麵,為羊羔照他的力量而獻,一伊法細麵加油一欣。
46:12 王預備甘心獻的燔祭或平安祭,就是向耶和華甘心獻的,當有人為他開朝東的門。他就預備燔祭和平安祭,與安息日預備的一樣,獻畢就出去。他出去之後,當有人將門關閉。」
46:13 「每日,你要預備無殘疾一歲的羊羔一隻,獻與耶和華為燔祭;要每早晨預備。
46:14 每早晨也要預備同獻的素祭,細麵一伊法六分之一,並油一欣三分之一,調和細麵。這素祭要常獻與耶和華為永遠的定例。
46:15 每早晨要這樣預備羊羔、素祭,並油為常獻的燔祭。」
46:16 主耶和華如此說:「王若將產業賜給他的兒子,就成了他兒子的產業,那是他們承受為業的。
46:17 倘若王將一分產業賜給他的臣僕,就成了他臣僕的產業;到自由之年仍要歸與王。至於王的產業,必歸與他的兒子。
46:18 王不可奪取民的產業,以致驅逐他們離開所承受的;他要從自己的地業中,將產業賜給他兒子,免得我的民分散,各人離開所承受的。」

At the feasts and the appointed festivals, the grain offering with a young bull shall be an ephah, and with a ram an ephah, and with the lambs as much as one is able to give, together with a hin of oil to an ephah.  When the prince provides a freewill offering, either a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the Lord, the gate facing east shall be opened for him. And he shall offer his burnt offering or his peace offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he has gone out the gate shall be shut.
  “You shall provide a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to the Lord daily; morning by morning you shall provide it.  And you shall provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, one sixth of an ephah, and one third of a hin of oil to moisten the flour, as a grain offering to the Lord. This is a perpetual statute.  Thus the lamb and the meal offering and the oil shall be provided, morning by morning, for a regular burnt offering.
  “Thus says the Lord God: If the prince makes a gift to any of his sons as his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons. It is their property by inheritance.  But if he makes a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty. Then it shall revert to the prince; surely it is his inheritance—it shall belong to his sons.  The prince shall not take any of the inheritance of the people, thrusting them out of their property. He shall give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that none of my people shall be scattered from his property.”

    上帝在這裡透過先知宣講國王的分際:「王不可奪取民的產業,以致驅逐他們離開所承受的;他要從自己的地業中,將產業賜給他兒子,免得我的民分散,各人離開所承受的。」

    上帝如此宣告是要王做人民的保護者不可以做搶奪者或壓迫者以免民怨而使人民離開家鄉流浪到世界各地,失去上帝要他們承受的迦南美地!

    同樣今日在教會中也要防止使人受傷害和跌倒的事情,因為教會乃是基督用寶血所贖回的一群人,是上帝的寶貝,一個也不能失落!
