16:1 「你要注意亞筆月,向耶和華─你的上帝守逾越節,因為耶和華─你的上帝在亞筆月夜間領你出埃及。
16:2 你當在耶和華所選擇要立為他名的居所,從牛群羊群中,將逾越節的祭牲獻給耶和華─你的上帝。
16:3 你吃這祭牲,不可吃有酵的餅;七日之內要吃無酵餅,就是困苦餅─你本是急忙出了埃及地─要叫你一生一世記念你從埃及地出來的日子。
16:4 在你四境之內,七日不可見麵酵,頭一日晚上所獻的肉,一點不可留到早晨。
16:5 在耶和華─你上帝所賜的各城中,你不可獻逾越節的祭;
16:6 只當在耶和華─你上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所,晚上日落的時候,乃是你出埃及的時候,獻逾越節的祭。
16:7 當在耶和華─你上帝所選擇的地方把肉烤了吃(烤:或譯煮),次日早晨就回到你的帳棚去。
16:8 你要吃無酵餅六日,第七日要向耶和華─你的上帝守嚴肅會,不可做工。」
16:9 「你要計算七七日:從你開鐮收割禾稼時算起,共計七七日。
16:10 你要照耶和華─你上帝所賜你的福,手裡拿著甘心祭,獻在耶和華─你的上帝面前,守七七節。
16:11 你和你兒女、僕婢,並住在你城裡的利未人,以及在你們中間寄居的與孤兒寡婦,都要在耶和華─你上帝所選擇立為他名的居所,在耶和華─你的上帝面前歡樂。
16:12 你也要記念你在埃及作過奴僕。你要謹守遵行這些律例。」
16:13 「你把禾場的穀、酒醡的酒收藏以後,就要守住棚節七日。
16:14 守節的時候,你和你兒女、僕婢,並住在你城裡的利未人,以及寄居的與孤兒寡婦,都要歡樂。
16:15 在耶和華所選擇的地方,你當向耶和華─你的上帝守節七日;因為耶和華─你上帝在你一切的土產上和你手裡所辦的事上要賜福與你,你就非常地歡樂。
16:16 你一切的男丁要在除酵節、七七節、住棚節,一年三次,在耶和華─你上帝所選擇的地方朝見他,卻不可空手朝見。
16:17 各人要按自己的力量,照耶和華─你上帝所賜的福分,奉獻禮物。」
16:18 「你要在耶和華─你上帝所賜的各城裡,按著各支派設立審判官和官長。他們必按公義的審判判斷百姓。
16:19 不可屈枉正直;不可看人的外貌。也不可受賄賂;因為賄賂能叫智慧人的眼變瞎了,又能顛倒義人的話。
16:20 你要追求至公至義,好叫你存活,承受耶和華─你上帝所賜你的地。
16:21 「你為耶和華─你的上帝築壇,不可在壇旁栽甚麼樹木作為木偶。
16:22 也不可為自己設立柱像;這是耶和華─你上帝所恨惡的。
16:2 你當在耶和華所選擇要立為他名的居所,從牛群羊群中,將逾越節的祭牲獻給耶和華─你的上帝。

Observe
the month of Aviv and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you
out of Egypt by night. 2 Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock
or herd at the place the Lord will
choose as a dwelling for his Name. 3 Do not eat it with bread
made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of
affliction, because you left Egypt in haste—so that all the days of your life
you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt. 4 Let
no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not
let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until
morning.
5 You
must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord
your God gives you 6 except in the place he will choose as a
dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening,
when the sun goes down, on the anniversary[a] of your
departure from Egypt. 7 Roast it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the
morning return to your tents. 8 For six days eat unleavened
bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly to the Lord your God and do no work.
9 Count
off seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing
grain. 10 Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill
offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord
your God has given you. 11 And rejoice before the Lord your God at the place he will
choose as a dwelling for his Name—you, your sons and daughters, your male and
female servants, the Levites in your towns, and the foreigners, the fatherless
and the widows living among you. 12 Remember that you were slaves
in Egypt, and follow carefully these decrees.
13 Celebrate
the Festival of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce
of your threshing floor and your winepress. 14 Be joyful at
your festival—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and
the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your
towns. 15 For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your
harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.
16 Three
times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival
of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles. No
one should appear before the Lord
empty-handed: 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to
the way the Lord your God has
blessed you.
18 Appoint
judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they
shall judge the people fairly. 19 Do not pervert justice or
show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise
and twists the words of the innocent. 20 Follow justice and
justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.
21 Do
not set up any wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build to the Lord your God, 22 and do
not erect a sacred stone, for these the Lord
your God hates.

在信仰的傳承中上傳道人佔很重要的角色,因為傳道人是信仰的記憶庫,正如摩西就是信仰的記憶庫,為了讓出埃及的第二代以色列人可以繼承敬拜耶和華的信仰,就將信仰的精華和形式傳遞下去,好上帝可以成為世世代代以色列人的上帝。
對基督徒而言信仰可以透過書籍尤其是聖經來傳遞,但是傳道人的宣講更是重要。聖經若沒有人宣讀和詮釋,就無法一代傳遞到另一代,就成為死的,而不是活的。當然,宣講不只是用口,更是需要身體的力行。但是最基礎就是有人宣講,有人論述,不管是聲音或文字,總要將信息傳揚下去!
感謝主!讓我能參與在信仰的傳遞之行列,讓我藉由文字與講台的書寫與宣講,更可以透過網路傳到無遠弗屆之處,願在這裡的分享可以造就人!不僅如此,我也要奉主耶穌的名呼召更多的弟兄姊妹,來進行這樣的傳遞事功,讓我們成為信樣的記憶庫之角色,傳講純正的信息!
