利未記7:11-21


7:11 「人獻與耶和華平安祭的條例乃是這樣:
7:12
他若為感謝獻上,就要用調油的無酵餅和抹油的無酵薄餅,並用油調勻細麵做的餅,與感謝祭一同獻上。
7:13
要用有酵的餅和為感謝獻的平安祭,與供物一同獻上。
7:14
從各樣的供物中,他要把一個餅獻給耶和華為舉祭,是要歸給灑平安祭牲血的祭司。
7:15
為感謝獻平安祭牲的肉,要在獻的日子吃,一點不可留到早晨。
7:16
若所獻的是為還願,或是甘心獻的,必在獻祭的日子吃,所剩下的第二天也可以吃。
7:17
但所剩下的祭肉,到第三天要用火焚燒;
7:18
第三天若吃了平安祭的肉,這祭必不蒙悅納,人所獻的也不算為祭,反為可憎嫌的,吃這祭肉的,就必擔當他的罪孽。
7:19
「挨了污穢物的肉就不可吃,要用火焚燒。至於平安祭的肉,凡潔淨的人都要吃;
7:20
只是獻與耶和華平安祭的肉,人若不潔淨而吃了,這人必從民中剪除。
7:21
有人摸了甚麼不潔淨的物,或是人的不潔淨,或是不潔淨的牲畜,或是不潔可憎之物,吃了獻與耶和華平安祭的肉,這人必從民中剪除。」

 11 “‘These are the regulations for the fellowship offering anyone may present to the Lord:
12 “‘If they offer it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering they are to offer thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with oil, and thick loaves of the finest flour well-kneaded and with oil mixed in. 13 Along with their fellowship offering of thanksgiving they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast. 14 They are to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the fellowship offering against the altar. 15 The meat of their fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; they must leave none of it till morning.
16 “‘If, however, their offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day. 17 Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up. 18 If any meat of the fellowship offering is eaten on the third day, the one who offered it will not be accepted. It will not be reckoned to their credit, for it has become impure; the person who eats any of it will be held responsible.
19 “‘Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned up. As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it. 20 But if anyone who is unclean eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people. 21 Anyone who touches something unclean—whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground[b]—and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord must be cut off from their people.’”

    平安祭是歡樂的祭典,大家可以快快樂樂地吃著祭物來歡樂!然而在歡樂之中仍然有規矩要守,不可以放肆、任意而為!畢竟這是一個尋求與上帝、與人和好的祭典。

    就像該給祭司的就要給祭司,因為獻給上帝的祭物,有一部分是歸給祭司的,如14節說:「從各樣的供物中,他要把一個餅獻給耶和華為舉祭,是要歸給灑平安祭牲血的祭司。」

    吃祭物的規矩特別注意到「潔淨」,這是提醒參與的人想到上帝是聖潔的上帝,是侵犯不得的!在獻祭的事上更是要手潔心清,表示對上帝的崇敬!詩人也說:「誰能登耶和華的山?誰能站在他的聖所?就是手潔心清、不向虛妄、起誓不懷詭詐的人。他必蒙耶和華賜福,又蒙救他的上帝使他成義。」(詩篇24:3-5)
