民數記28:1-31

28:1 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
28:2 「你要吩咐以色列人說：『獻給我的供物，就是獻給我作馨香火祭的食物，你們要按日期獻給我』；
28:3 又要對他們說：你們要獻給耶和華的火祭，就是沒有殘疾、一歲的公羊羔，每日兩隻，作為常獻的燔祭。
28:4 早晨要獻一隻，黃昏的時候要獻一隻；
28:5 又用細麵伊法十分之一，並搗成的油一欣四分之一，調和作為素祭。
28:6 這是西奈山所命定為常獻的燔祭，是獻給耶和華為馨香的火祭。
28:7 為這一隻羊羔，要同獻奠祭的酒一欣四分之一。在聖所中，你要將醇酒奉給耶和華為奠祭。
28:8 晚上，你要獻那一隻羊羔，必照早晨的素祭和同獻的奠祭獻上，作為馨香的火祭，獻給耶和華。」
28:9 「當安息日，要獻兩隻沒有殘疾、一歲的公羊羔，並用調油的細麵伊法十分之二為素祭，又將同獻的奠祭獻上。
28:10 這是每安息日獻的燔祭；那常獻的燔祭和同獻的奠祭在外。」
28:11 「每月朔，你們要將兩隻公牛犢，一隻公綿羊，七隻沒有殘疾、一歲的公羊羔，獻給耶和華為燔祭。
28:12 每隻公牛要用調油的細麵伊法十分之三作為素祭；那隻公羊也用調油的細麵伊法十分之二作為素祭；
28:13 每隻羊羔要用調油的細麵伊法十分之一作為素祭和馨香的燔祭，是獻給耶和華的火祭。
28:14 一隻公牛要奠酒半欣，一隻公羊要奠酒一欣三分之一，一隻羊羔也奠酒一欣四分之一。這是每月的燔祭，一年之中要月月如此。
28:15 又要將一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，獻給耶和華；要獻在常獻的燔祭和同獻的奠祭以外。」
28:16 「正月十四日是耶和華的逾越節。
28:17 這月十五日是節期，要吃無酵餅七日。
28:18 第一日當有聖會；甚麼勞碌的工都不可做。
28:19 當將公牛犢兩隻，公綿羊一隻，一歲的公羊羔七隻，都要沒有殘疾的，用火獻給耶和華為燔祭。
28:20 同獻的素祭用調油的細麵；為一隻公牛要獻伊法十分之三；為一隻公羊要獻伊法十分之二；
28:21 為那七隻羊羔，每隻要獻伊法十分之一。
28:22 並獻一隻公山羊作贖罪祭，為你們贖罪。
28:23 你們獻這些，要在早晨常獻的燔祭以外。
28:24 一連七日，每日要照這例把馨香火祭的食物獻給耶和華，是在常獻的燔祭和同獻的奠祭以外。
28:25 第七日當有聖會，甚麼勞碌的工都不可做。」
28:26 「七七節莊稼初熟，你們獻新素祭給耶和華的日子，當有聖會；甚麼勞碌的工都不可做。
28:27 只要將公牛犢兩隻，公綿羊一隻，一歲的公羊羔七隻，作為馨香的燔祭獻給耶和華。
28:28 同獻的素祭用調油的細麵；為每隻公牛要獻伊法十分之三；為一隻公羊要獻伊法十分之二；
28:29 為那七隻羊羔，每隻要獻伊法十分之一。
28:30 並獻一隻公山羊為你們贖罪。
28:31 這些，你們要獻在常獻的燔祭和同獻的素祭並同獻的奠祭以外，都要沒有殘疾的。」

The Lord said to Moses, ² “Give this command to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Make sure that you present to me at the appointed time my food offerings, as an aroma pleasing to me.’ ³ Say to them: ‘This is the food offering you are to present to the Lord: two lambs a year old without defect, as a regular burnt offering each day. ⁴ Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight, ⁵ together with a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin^[b] of oil from pressed olives. ⁶ This is the regular burnt offering instituted at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord. ⁷ The accompanying drink offering is to be a quarter of a hin of fermented drink with each lamb. Pour out the drink offering to the Lord at the sanctuary. ⁸ Offer the second lamb at twilight, along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering that you offer in the morning. This is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

⁹ “‘On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs a year old without defect, together with its drink offering and a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah^[c] of the finest flour mixed with olive oil. ¹⁰ This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

¹¹ “‘On the first of every month, present to the Lord a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect. ¹² With each bull there is to be a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah^[d] of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; ¹³ and with each lamb, a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil. This is for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord. ¹⁴ With each bull there is to be a drink offering of half a hin of wine; with the ram, a third of a hin; and with each lamb, a quarter of a hin. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon during the year. ¹⁵ Besides the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the Lord as a sin offering.

¹⁶ “‘On the fourteenth day of the first month the Lord’s Passover is to be held. ¹⁷ On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival; for seven days eat bread made without yeast. ¹⁸ On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. ¹⁹ Present to the Lord a food offering consisting of a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect. ²⁰ With each bull offer a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths; ²¹ and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth. ²² Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you. ²³ Offer these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering. ²⁴ In this way present the food offering every day for seven days as an aroma pleasing to the Lord; it is to be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. ²⁵ On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
²⁶ “‘On the day of firstfruits, when you present to the Lord an offering of new grain during the Festival of Weeks, hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. ²⁷ Present a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. ²⁸ With each bull there is to be a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths; ²⁹ and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth. ³⁰ Include one male goat to make atonement for you. ³¹ Offer these together with their drink offerings, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its grain offering. Be sure the animals are without defect.

    在古時的以色列要每天早晚獻祭，到了安息日(每週第七天)和月朔(每月第一天)以及踰越節和七七節都要獻祭。也就是說，在以色列的人的生活中，敬拜上帝是非常重要的一件事情！

    上帝之所以要他們如此行，是要讓他們知道：與上帝建立關係是非常重要的，即使是要付上代價也是應該的，因為以色列人若沒有上帝得保守，若沒有上帝的拯救，就無法脫離埃及的奴役了，就無法獲得真正的自由。

    今日我們靠著耶穌基督成為上帝的兒女，雖然不用再一次又一次的獻祭，但是我們仍然要用獻祭的精神來紀念耶穌基督親自成為祭物。因為要不是耶穌基督一次的獻上所成就的大工，我們就無法和上帝建立關係，享受上帝豐盛的恩典！

    同樣我們也要記念，耶穌之所以可以成就這個大工，不僅因為祂是完全的人，更因為祂是上帝的兒子，也就是說祂也是完全的上帝，祂不僅救我們脫離罪，更讓我們和祂一樣得著上帝兒女的身分，永遠歸屬於上帝！
