利未記22:17-25


22:17 耶和華對摩西說:
22:18
「你曉諭亞倫和他子孫,並以色列眾人說:以色列家中的人,或在以色列中寄居的,凡獻供物,無論是所許的願,是甘心獻的,就是獻給耶和華作燔祭的,
22:19
要將沒有殘疾的公牛,或是綿羊,或是山羊獻上,如此方蒙悅納。
22:20
凡有殘疾的,你們不可獻上,因為這不蒙悅納。
22:21
凡從牛群或是羊群中,將平安祭獻給耶和華,為要還特許的願,或是作甘心獻的,所獻的必純全無殘疾的才蒙悅納。
22:22
瞎眼的、折傷的、殘廢的、有瘤子的、長癬的、長疥的都不可獻給耶和華,也不可在壇上作為火祭獻給耶和華。
22:23
無論是公牛是綿羊羔,若肢體有餘的,或是缺少的,只可作甘心祭獻上;用以還願,卻不蒙悅納。
22:24
腎子損傷的,或是壓碎的,或是破裂的,或是騸了的,不可獻給耶和華,在你們的地上也不可這樣行。
22:25
這類的物,你們從外人的手,一樣也不可接受作你們上帝的食物獻上;因為這些都有損壞,有殘疾,不蒙悅納。」

17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: ‘If any of you—whether an Israelite or a foreigner residing in Israel—presents a gift for a burnt offering to the Lord, either to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, 19 you must present a male without defect from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted on your behalf. 20 Do not bring anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf. 21 When anyone brings from the herd or flock a fellowship offering to the Lord to fulfill a special vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without defect or blemish to be acceptable. 22 Do not offer to the Lord the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord. 23 You may, however, present as a freewill offering an ox[b] or a sheep that is deformed or stunted, but it will not be accepted in fulfillment of a vow. 24 You must not offer to the Lord an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn or cut. You must not do this in your own land, 25 and you must not accept such animals from the hand of a foreigner and offer them as the food of your God. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and have defects.’”

    上帝曉諭他所喜悅的祭物是怎樣的條件:「凡獻供物,無論是所許的願,是甘心獻的,就是獻給耶和華作燔祭的,要將沒有殘疾的公牛,或是綿羊,或是山羊獻上,如此方蒙悅納。」

    因此,獻上的祭物不可以隨便,因為上帝是輕慢不得的!我們希望別人幫助我們做事,就會送好的禮物來取悅人家!同樣,我們給上帝的祭物,也要能使上帝喜歡的,才能使上帝喜悅,大大賜福我們!

    然而上帝真正喜悅的祭物是什麼?當然是主耶穌!也因為這樣希伯來書告訴我們:「凡祭司天天站著事奉上帝,屢次獻上一樣的祭物,這祭物永不能除罪。但基督獻了一次永遠的贖罪祭,就在上帝的右邊坐下了。因為他一次獻祭,便叫那得以成聖的人永遠完全。」(11:11-12,14

    然而上帝為和喜悅耶穌基督親自成為祭物呢?「兒女既同有血肉之體,他也照樣親自成了血肉之體,特要藉著死敗壞那掌死權的,就是魔鬼,並要釋放那些一生因怕死而為奴僕的人。所以,他凡事該與他的弟兄相同,為要在上帝的事上成為慈悲忠信的大祭司,為百姓的罪獻上挽回祭。」(希伯來書2:14-15,17)
