26:3 摩西和祭司以利亞撒在摩押平原與耶利哥相對的約旦河邊向以色列人說：
26:4 「將你們中間從二十歲以外的計算總數」；是照耶和華吩咐出埃及地的摩西和以色列人的話。

26:53 「你要按著人名的數目將地分給這些人為業。
26:54 人多的，你要把產業多分給他們；人少的，你要把產業少分給他們；要照被數的人數，把產業分給各人。
26:55 雖是這樣，還要拈鬮分地。他們要按著祖宗各支派的名字承受為業。
26:56 要按著所拈的鬮，看人數多，人數少，把產業分給他們。」
26:57 利未人，按著他們的各族被數的：屬革順的，有革順族；屬哥轄的，有哥轄族；屬米拉利的，有米拉利族。

26:61 拿答、亞比戶在耶和華面前獻凡火的時候就死了。
26:62 利未人中，凡一個月以外、被數的男丁，共有二萬三千。他們本來沒有數在以色列人中；因為在以色列人中，沒有分給他們產業。
26:63 這些就是被摩西和祭司以利亞撒所數的；他們在摩押平原與耶利哥相對的約旦河邊數點以色列人。
26:64 但被數的人中，沒有一個是摩西和祭司亞倫從前在西奈的曠野所數的以色列人，
26:65 因為耶和華論到他們說：「他們必要死在曠野。」所以，除了耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞以外，連一個人也沒有存留。

  After the plague the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, ² “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by families—all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army of Israel.” ³ So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said, ⁴ “Take a census of the men twenty years old or more, as the Lord commanded Moses.”

These were the Israelites who came out of Egypt:

⁵ The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel, were:

through Hanok, the Hanokite clan;

through Pallu, the Palluite clan;

⁶ through Hezron, the Hezronite clan;

through Karmi, the Karmite clan.

⁷ These were the clans of Reuben; those numbered were 43,730.

⁸ The son of Pallu was Eliab, ⁹ and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. The same Dathan and Abiram were the community officials who rebelled against Moses and Aaron and were among Korah’s followers when they rebelled against the Lord. ¹⁰ The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire devoured the 250 men. And they served as a warning sign. ¹¹ The line of Korah, however, did not die out.

¹² The descendants of Simeon by their clans were:

through Nemuel, the Nemuelite clan;

through Jamin, the Jaminite clan;

through Tola, the Tolaite clan;

through Puah, the Puite^[b] clan;

²⁴ through Jashub, the Jashubite clan;

through Shimron, the Shimronite clan.

²⁵ These were the clans of Issachar; those numbered were 64,300.

²⁶ The descendants of Zebulun by their clans were:

through Sered, the Seredite clan;

through Elon, the Elonite clan;

through Jahleel, the Jahleelite clan.

²⁷ These were the clans of Zebulun; those numbered were 60,500.

²⁸ The descendants of Joseph by their clans through Manasseh and Ephraim were:

²⁹ The descendants of Manasseh:

through Makir, the Makirite clan (Makir was the father of Gilead);

through Gilead, the Gileadite clan.

³⁰ These were the descendants of Gilead:

through Iezer, the Iezerite clan;

through Helek, the Helekite clan;

³¹ through Asriel, the Asrielite clan;

through Shechem, the Shechemite clan;

³² through Shemida, the Shemidaite clan;

through Hepher, the Hepherite clan.

³³ (Zelophehad son of Hepher had no sons; he had only daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah.)

³⁴ These were the clans of Manasseh; those numbered were 52,700.

³⁵ These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans:

through Shuthelah, the Shuthelahite clan;

through Beker, the Bekerite clan;

through Tahan, the Tahanite clan.

³⁶ These were the descendants of Shuthelah:

through Eran, the Eranite clan.

³⁷ These were the clans of Ephraim; those numbered were 32,500.

These were the descendants of Joseph by their clans.

³⁸ The descendants of Benjamin by their clans were:

through Bela, the Belaite clan;

through Ashbel, the Ashbelite clan;

through Ahiram, the Ahiramite clan;

³⁹ through Shupham,^[c] the Shuphamite clan;

through Hupham, the Huphamite clan.

⁴⁰ The descendants of Bela through Ard and Naaman were:

through Ard,^[d] the Ardite clan;

through Naaman, the Naamite clan.

⁴¹ These were the clans of Benjamin; those numbered were 45,600.

⁴² These were the descendants of Dan by their clans:

through Shuham, the Shuhamite clan.

These were the clans of Dan: ⁴³ All of them were Shuhamite clans; and those numbered were 64,400.

⁴⁴ The descendants of Asher by their clans were:

through Imnah, the Imnite clan;

through Ishvi, the Ishvite clan;

through Beriah, the Beriite clan;

⁴⁵ and through the descendants of Beriah:

through Heber, the Heberite clan;

through Malkiel, the Malkielite clan.

⁴⁶ (Asher had a daughter named Serah.)

⁴⁷ These were the clans of Asher; those numbered were 53,400.

⁴⁸ The descendants of Naphtali by their clans were:

through Jahzeel, the Jahzeelite clan;

through Guni, the Gunite clan;

⁴⁹ through Jezer, the Jezerite clan;

through Shillem, the Shillemite clan.

⁵⁰ These were the clans of Naphtali; those numbered were 45,400.

⁵¹ The total number of the men of Israel was 601,730.

⁵² The Lord said to Moses, ⁵³ “The land is to be allotted to them as an inheritance based on the number of names. ⁵⁴ To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one; each is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those listed. ⁵⁵ Be sure that the land is distributed by lot. What each group inherits will be according to the names for its ancestral tribe. ⁵⁶ Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”

⁵⁷ These were the Levites who were counted by their clans:

through Gershon, the Gershonite clan;

through Kohath, the Kohathite clan;

through Merari, the Merarite clan.

⁵⁸ These also were Levite clans:

the Libnite clan,

the Hebronite clan,

the Mahlite clan,

the Mushite clan,

the Korahite clan.

(Kohath was the forefather of Amram; ⁵⁹ the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites^[e] in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam. ⁶⁰ Aaron was the father of Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ⁶¹ But Nadab and Abihu died when they made an offering before the Lord with unauthorized fire.)

⁶² All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance among them.

⁶³ These are the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. ⁶⁴ Not one of them was among those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the Lord had told those Israelites they would surely die in the wilderness, and not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

***********

    上帝在瘟疫之後再一次點數以色列人，然而關於這次點數，聖經這樣說：「這些就是被摩西和祭司以利亞撒所數的；他們在摩押平原與耶利哥相對的約旦河邊數點以色列人。但被數的人中，沒有一個是摩西和祭司亞倫從前在西奈的曠野所數的以色列人，因為耶和華論到他們說：『他們必要死在曠野。』所以，除了耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞以外，連一個人也沒有存留。」

    可見這一次點數是第二代以後的，第一代的除了耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞以外，連一個人也沒有存留。表示上帝是說話算話的上帝，他們因為十個探子報兇信，對進入迦南地失去信心，於是上帝大大發怒，不許第一代的進入迦南地，除了耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞以外，可見上帝多麼看中這兩位忠心的僕人！

    由此我們可以認識到上帝對於敬畏祂的人是何等的恩愛，一路保守他們，直到進入應許之地！這也讓我們看見，信靠主耶穌的人，是多麼有福啊！上帝必記念，並且永遠不放棄的，永遠保守！

詩篇38:1-22

38:1 （大衛的記念詩。）耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我，不要在烈怒中懲罰我！
38:2 因為，你的箭射入我身；你的手壓住我。
38:3 因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全；因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。
38:4 我的罪孽高過我的頭，如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
38:5 因我的愚昧，我的傷發臭流膿。
38:6 我疼痛，大大拳曲，終日哀痛。
38:7 我滿腰是火；我的肉無一完全。
38:8 我被壓傷，身體疲倦；因心裡不安，我就唉哼。
38:9 主啊，我的心願都在你面前；我的歎息不向你隱瞞。
38:10 我心跳動，我力衰微，連我眼中的光也沒有了。
38:11 我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站著；我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。
38:12 那尋索我命的設下網羅；那想要害我的口出惡言，終日思想詭計。
38:13 但我如聾子不聽，像啞巴不開口。
38:14 我如不聽見的人，口中沒有回話。
38:15 耶和華啊，我仰望你！主─我的上帝啊，你必應允我！
38:16 我曾說：恐怕他們向我誇耀；我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。
38:17 我幾乎跌倒；我的痛苦常在我面前。
38:18 我要承認我的罪孽；我要因我的罪憂愁。
38:19 但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯，無理恨我的增多了。
38:20 以惡報善的與我作對，因我是追求良善。
38:21 耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！我的上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！
38:22 拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！

A psalm of David. A petition.

¹ Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.
² Your arrows have pierced me,
    and your hand has come down on me.
³ Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;
    there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.
⁴ My guilt has overwhelmed me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.

⁵ My wounds fester and are loathsome
    because of my sinful folly.
⁶ I am bowed down and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.
⁷ My back is filled with searing pain;
    there is no health in my body.
⁸ I am feeble and utterly crushed;
    I groan in anguish of heart.

⁹ All my longings lie open before you, Lord;
    my sighing is not hidden from you.
¹⁰ My heart pounds, my strength fails me;
    even the light has gone from my eyes.
¹¹ My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;
    my neighbors stay far away.
¹² Those who want to kill me set their traps,
    those who would harm me talk of my ruin;
    all day long they scheme and lie.

¹³ I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,
    like the mute, who cannot speak;
¹⁴ I have become like one who does not hear,
    whose mouth can offer no reply.
¹⁵ Lord, I wait for you;
    you will answer, Lord my God.
¹⁶ For I said, “Do not let them gloat
    or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

¹⁷ For I am about to fall,
    and my pain is ever with me.
¹⁸ I confess my iniquity;
    I am troubled by my sin.
¹⁹ Many have become my enemies without cause;
    those who hate me without reason are numerous.
²⁰ Those who repay my good with evil
    lodge accusations against me,
    though I seek only to do what is good.

²¹ Lord, do not forsake me;
    do not be far from me, my God.
²² Come quickly to help me,
    my Lord and my Savior.

***************

    上帝的憤怒與懲罰是人無法消受的，詩人無所不用其極地來形容得罪上帝的後果，來讓人知道這是非常可怕的事情，期盼不要有這樣的事情臨到！所以，向上帝求：「耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！我的上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！」

    也因為這樣，我們要渴望上帝的同在，常常保守自己在上帝的憐憫之中！而要得上帝的憐憫，詩人告訴我們，要一心追求良善。然而我們如何追求良善呢？就是要透過上帝的話語，正如使徒保羅所說：「聖經都是上帝所默示的（或譯：凡上帝所默示的聖經），於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的，叫屬上帝的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善事。」(提摩太後書3:16-17)

    可見行善是由運用聖經來的，這是聖靈的工作，讓我們不僅透過耶穌基督得享救恩，更透過聖經的話語不斷引導我們活出上帝喜悅的生命，來見證耶穌基督並榮耀上帝的名。
