利未記26:1-13


26:1 「你們不可做甚麼虛無的神像,不可立雕刻的偶像或是柱像,也不可在你們的地上安甚麼鏨成的石像,向它跪拜,因為我是耶和華你們的上帝。
26:2
你們要守我的安息日,敬我的聖所。我是耶和華。
26:3
「你們若遵行我的律例,謹守我的誡命,
26:4
我就給你們降下時雨,叫地生出土產,田野的樹木結果子。
26:5
你們打糧食要打到摘葡萄的時候,摘葡萄要摘到撒種的時候;並且要吃得飽足,在你們的地上安然居住。
26:6
我要賜平安在你們的地上;你們躺臥,無人驚嚇。我要叫惡獸從你們的地上息滅;刀劍也必不經過你們的地。
26:7
你們要追趕仇敵,他們必倒在你們刀下。
26:8
你們五個人要追趕一百人,一百人要追趕一萬人;仇敵必倒在你們刀下。
26:9
我要眷顧你們,使你們生養眾多,也要與你們堅定所立的約。
26:10
你們要吃陳糧,又因新糧挪開陳糧。
26:11
我要在你們中間立我的帳幕;我的心也不厭惡你們。
26:12
我要在你們中間行走;我要作你們的上帝,你們要作我的子民。
26:13
我是耶和華你們的上帝,曾將你們從埃及地領出來,使你們不作埃及人的奴僕;我也折斷你們所負的軛,叫你們挺身而走。」

 “‘Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.
“‘Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
“‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
“‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
“‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. 10 You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. 11 I will put my dwelling place[a] among you, and I will not abhor you. 12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. 13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.

    上帝要賜福給祂所揀選的人,而這些人在聖靈的引導之下也知道如何敬畏上帝,就是:若遵行上帝的律例,謹守上帝的誡命!

    上帝除了要賜給這樣的人的所需,更重要的是:「我要在你們中間立我的帳幕;我的心也不厭惡你們。我要在你們中間行走;我要作你們的上帝,你們要作我的子民。我是耶和華─你們的上帝,曾將你們從埃及地領出來,使你們不作埃及人的奴僕;我也折斷你們所負的軛,叫你們挺身而走。」

    可見成為上帝所揀選的人,是多麼榮耀的一件事,也讓自己成為一位真正的人,只做上帝的兒女,不做罪惡和別人的奴僕,可以真正頂天立地來活!
