6:1 「這是耶和華─你們上帝所吩咐教訓你們的誡命、律例、典章,使你們在所要過去得為業的地上遵行,
6:2 好叫你和你子子孫孫一生敬畏耶和華─你的上帝,謹守他的一切律例誡命,就是我所吩咐你的,使你的日子得以長久。
6:3 以色列啊,你要聽,要謹守遵行,使你可以在那流奶與蜜之地得以享福,人數極其增多,正如耶和華─你列祖的上帝所應許你的。
These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.
***************
遵行上帝的誡命、律例、典章是以色列人與其他民族分別的記號,也因此以色列人會將聖經編輯出來,將上帝各樣的啟示集中在一起,好可以有全面的認識。
當然不管是領受上帝話語而書寫下來的,以及將上帝話語集中的,都是在聖靈的引導之下來完成。而其目的,就是讓上帝的話可以傳承下去。
當然,不只是編輯,還要人宣講解釋,使人明白而能夠遵行,這是教會中為何要有解經、講道的傳道人,然而信徒的責任就是明白而實踐。
求主幫主我們,讓我們如同過去的以色列人已實行上帝的誡命、律例、典章,成為真正上帝的兒女。
