利未記7:28-38

7:28 耶和華對摩西說：
7:29 「你曉諭以色列人說：獻平安祭給耶和華的，要從平安祭中取些來奉給耶和華。
7:30 他親手獻給耶和華的火祭，就是脂油和胸，要帶來，好把胸在耶和華面前作搖祭，搖一搖。
7:31 祭司要把脂油在壇上焚燒，但胸要歸亞倫和他的子孫。
7:32 你們要從平安祭中把右腿作舉祭，奉給祭司。
7:33 亞倫子孫中，獻平安祭牲血和脂油的，要得這右腿為分；
7:34 因為我從以色列人的平安祭中，取了這搖的胸和舉的腿給祭司亞倫和他子孫，作他們從以色列人中所永得的分。」
7:35 這是從耶和華火祭中，作亞倫受膏的分和他子孫受膏的分，正在摩西（原文是他）叫他們前來給耶和華供祭司職分的日子，
7:36 就是在摩西（原文是他）膏他們的日子，耶和華吩咐以色列人給他們的。這是他們世世代代永得的分。
7:37 這就是燔祭、素祭、贖罪祭、贖愆祭，和平安祭的條例，並承接聖職的禮，
7:38 都是耶和華在西奈山所吩咐摩西的，就是他在西奈曠野吩咐以色列人獻供物給耶和華之日所說的。

 ²⁸ The Lord said to Moses, ²⁹ “Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the Lord is to bring part of it as their sacrifice to the Lord. ³⁰ With their own hands they are to present the food offering to the Lord; they are to bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast before the Lord as a wave offering. ³¹ The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. ³² You are to give the right thigh of your fellowship offerings to the priest as a contribution. ³³ The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering shall have the right thigh as his share. ³⁴ From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh that is presented and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their perpetual share from the Israelites.’”

³⁵ This is the portion of the food offerings presented to the Lord that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. ³⁶ On the day they were anointed, the Lord commanded that the Israelites give this to them as their perpetual share for the generations to come.

³⁷ These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering and the fellowship offering, ³⁸ which the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai in the Desert of Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord.

    上帝不會讓事奉祂的人無所得，在這裡明明地說：「因為我從以色列人的平安祭中，取了這搖的胸和舉的腿給祭司亞倫和他子孫，作他們從以色列人中所永得的分。」（34節）

    雖然我們不是為肚腹的需要來事奉上帝，但是上帝顧念服事祂的人的辛勞和不容易，為祂的祭司有豐盛的預備，並且要成為永得的分！這是何等的愛護與關照呢！

    求主幫助我們，不要害怕全職的服事，若是清楚上帝的呼召，就不要遲延、不要躊躇，上帝必為我們預備「永得的分」，人會虧待我們，但是上帝不會，上帝必保守到底的！
