利未記5:14-19

5:14 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
5:15 「人若在耶和華的聖物上誤犯了罪，有了過犯，就要照你所估的，按聖所的舍客勒拿銀子，將贖愆祭牲─就是羊群中一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊─牽到耶和華面前為贖愆祭；
5:16 並且他因在聖物上的差錯要償還，另外加五分之一，都給祭司。祭司要用贖愆祭的公綿羊為他贖罪，他必蒙赦免。
5:17 「若有人犯罪，行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事，他雖然不知道，還是有了罪，就要擔當他的罪孽；
5:18 也要照你所估定的價，從羊群中牽一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊來，給祭司作贖愆祭。至於他誤行的那錯事，祭司要為他贖罪，他必蒙赦免。
5:19 這是贖愆祭，因他在耶和華面前實在有了罪。」

¹⁴ The Lord said to Moses: ¹⁵ “When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.^[d] It is a guilt offering. ¹⁶ They must make restitution for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its value and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.

¹⁷ “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. ¹⁸ They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the wrong they have committed unintentionally, and they will be forgiven. ¹⁹ It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of^[e] wrongdoing against the Lord.”

    罪不只是做不該做的事情，還包括該做卻沒有做到的事情，這就是所謂的虧欠！而贖愆祭所要做的，就是要使這些虧欠可以補足，也提醒以色列人，要按當納的歸給上帝，不可以虧欠！

    今天教會中許多人對於當納的十分之一，有不同的想法和做法，不是隨上帝的命令，是隨自己的喜歡。若是深究，我們在這個項目中虧欠上帝良多！也罪如此，教會的動力缺缺，十分軟弱！要是我們在這事上用心，上帝有美好的應許：「萬軍之耶和華說：你們要將當納的十分之一全然送入倉庫，使我家有糧，以此試試我，是否為你們敞開天上的窗戶，傾福與你們，甚至無處可容。」（瑪拉基書3:8）

    親愛的弟兄姊妹，我們除了不做不該做的事，更要在該做的事，明白上帝的要求，好使自己不至於虧欠上帝，如此我們的良心就不會控告我們，生命就會充滿喜樂與滿足！

利未記5:1-13

5:1 「若有人聽見發誓的聲音（或譯：若有人聽見叫人發誓的聲音），他本是見證，卻不把所看見的、所知道的說出來，這就是罪；他要擔當他的罪孽。
5:2 或是有人摸了不潔的物，無論是不潔的死獸，是不潔的死畜，是不潔的死蟲，他卻不知道，因此成了不潔，就有了罪。
5:3 或是他摸了別人的污穢，無論是染了甚麼污穢，他卻不知道，一知道了就有了罪。
5:4 或是有人嘴裡冒失發誓，要行惡，要行善，無論人在甚麼事上冒失發誓，他卻不知道，一知道了就要在這其中的一件上有了罪。
5:5 他有了罪的時候，就要承認所犯的罪，
5:6 並要因所犯的罪，把他的贖愆祭牲─就是羊群中的母羊，或是一隻羊羔，或是一隻山羊─牽到耶和華面前為贖罪祭。至於他的罪，祭司要為他贖了。
5:7 「他的力量若不夠獻一隻羊羔，就要因所犯的罪，把兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿帶到耶和華面前為贖愆祭：一隻作贖罪祭，一隻作燔祭。
5:8 把這些帶到祭司那裡，祭司就要先把那贖罪祭獻上，從鳥的頸項上揪下頭來，只是不可把鳥撕斷，
5:9 也把些贖罪祭牲的血彈在壇的旁邊，剩下的血要流在壇的腳那裡；這是贖罪祭。
5:10 他要照例獻第二隻為燔祭。至於他所犯的罪，祭司要為他贖了，他必蒙赦免。
5:11 「他的力量若不夠獻兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿，就要因所犯的罪帶供物來，就是細麵伊法十分之一為贖罪祭；不可加上油，也不可加上乳香，因為是贖罪祭。
5:12 他要把供物帶到祭司那裡，祭司要取出自己的一把來作為紀念，按獻給耶和華火祭的條例燒在壇上；這是贖罪祭。
5:13 至於他在這幾件事中所犯的罪，祭司要為他贖了，他必蒙赦免。剩下的麵都歸與祭司，和素祭一樣。」

“‘If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.

² “‘If anyone becomes aware that they are guilty—if they unwittingly touch anything ceremonially unclean (whether the carcass of an unclean animal, wild or domestic, or of any unclean creature that moves along the ground) and they are unaware that they have become unclean, but then they come to realize their guilt; ³ or if they touch human uncleanness (anything that would make them unclean) even though they are unaware of it, but then they learn of it and realize their guilt; ⁴ or if anyone thoughtlessly takes an oath to do anything, whether good or evil (in any matter one might carelessly swear about) even though they are unaware of it, but then they learn of it and realize their guilt— ⁵ when anyone becomes aware that they are guilty in any of these matters, they must confess in what way they have sinned. ⁶ As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering^[a]; and the priest shall make atonement for them for their sin.

⁷ “‘Anyone who cannot afford a lamb is to bring two doves or two young pigeons to the Lord as a penalty for their sin—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. ⁸ They are to bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one for the sin offering. He is to wring its head from its neck, not dividing it completely, ⁹ and is to splash some of the blood of the sin offering against the side of the altar; the rest of the blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. ¹⁰ The priest shall then offer the other as a burnt offering in the prescribed way and make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.

¹¹ “‘If, however, they cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, they are to bring as an offering for their sin a tenth of an ephah^[b] of the finest flour for a sin offering. They must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is a sin offering. ¹² They are to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful of it as a memorial^[c] portion and burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. It is a sin offering. ¹³ In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest, as in the case of the grain offering.’”

    人會迷糊和無知，但是上帝不會。但是上帝允許人因為無知之下所犯的罪，仍然可以事後贖罪。而該補償的仍然要補償，雖然能力不足，仍然要照自己所能做得盡量去做，上帝依然是悅納的！

    這裡這樣的要求，除了針對無知或迷糊的狀態，更是要防止人將罪過推諉給自己的無知，不肯好好面對自己的軟弱。因為有獻上祭物，就無法掩藏自己的不是，等於將自己的不是攤開來，無所遁形！如此，不僅可以使自己脫離罪惡，更可以警誡別人。

     而罪不僅是行為上做了不該做的事情，更重要的是罪的意義是：得罪上帝！而這得罪就破壞了上帝與人的關係，使人與上帝所賜的福份遠離。而上帝要以色列人為罪獻祭，就是要修補關係，預表基督的救贖。今日我們雖然不用獻上祭牲，但是耶穌基督卻成了人與上帝之間的贖罪祭，修護破裂的關係。

箴言29:11

愚妄人怒氣全發；智慧人忍氣含怒。

Fools give full vent to their rage,
    but the wise bring calm in the end.

***********

    對於喜歡發怒氣的人，這是一個很大的提醒！我們不要做怒氣的奴隸，就像中文字的「怒」，就是說到人發怒時，心就變成奴隸，失去該有的自由自在，也因為如此，人就成了「愚妄人」！

    但是，智慧人是以上帝為心中的主，所以不會做怒氣的奴隸，也因為如此，不會因為怒氣做了傻事，不會讓怒氣凌駕於理智之上！也因為如此，信靠主耶穌的人是滿有福氣的！

    求主幫助我們，透過信靠祂，不讓自己被怒氣所掌控，使自己有真智慧，不做愚妄人，可以免除因為怒氣而做錯惡之決定！

箴言29:10

好流人血的，恨惡完全人，索取正直人的性命。

The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity
    and seek to kill the upright.

***********

    正直人和完全人會起來反對惡人的惡行！也因此好流人血，也就是喜歡殺人，不把別人的生命當生命的人，會和正直人和完全人為敵！不僅如此，更是會想要奪取他們的生命！

    然而正直人和完全人並不會害怕好流人血的惡人，他們相信上帝會保守他們十分平安！因為好流人血的惡人是無法抵擋上帝的，上帝帝必定追討他們好流人血的罪！

    因此，我們若與上帝同在，我們也是正直人和完全人，我們更是要像上帝一樣，恨惡罪惡，順服上帝的律法，為主勇敢站立！
