利未記5:14-19

5:14 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
5:15 「人若在耶和華的聖物上誤犯了罪，有了過犯，就要照你所估的，按聖所的舍客勒拿銀子，將贖愆祭牲─就是羊群中一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊─牽到耶和華面前為贖愆祭；
5:16 並且他因在聖物上的差錯要償還，另外加五分之一，都給祭司。祭司要用贖愆祭的公綿羊為他贖罪，他必蒙赦免。
5:17 「若有人犯罪，行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事，他雖然不知道，還是有了罪，就要擔當他的罪孽；
5:18 也要照你所估定的價，從羊群中牽一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊來，給祭司作贖愆祭。至於他誤行的那錯事，祭司要為他贖罪，他必蒙赦免。
5:19 這是贖愆祭，因他在耶和華面前實在有了罪。」

¹⁴ The Lord said to Moses: ¹⁵ “When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.^[d] It is a guilt offering. ¹⁶ They must make restitution for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its value and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.

¹⁷ “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. ¹⁸ They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the wrong they have committed unintentionally, and they will be forgiven. ¹⁹ It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of^[e] wrongdoing against the Lord.”

    罪不只是做不該做的事情，還包括該做卻沒有做到的事情，這就是所謂的虧欠！而贖愆祭所要做的，就是要使這些虧欠可以補足，也提醒以色列人，要按當納的歸給上帝，不可以虧欠！

    今天教會中許多人對於當納的十分之一，有不同的想法和做法，不是隨上帝的命令，是隨自己的喜歡。若是深究，我們在這個項目中虧欠上帝良多！也罪如此，教會的動力缺缺，十分軟弱！要是我們在這事上用心，上帝有美好的應許：「萬軍之耶和華說：你們要將當納的十分之一全然送入倉庫，使我家有糧，以此試試我，是否為你們敞開天上的窗戶，傾福與你們，甚至無處可容。」（瑪拉基書3:8）

    親愛的弟兄姊妹，我們除了不做不該做的事，更要在該做的事，明白上帝的要求，好使自己不至於虧欠上帝，如此我們的良心就不會控告我們，生命就會充滿喜樂與滿足！
