    七月初一日在利未記23章24-25節聖經這樣介紹：「你曉諭以色列人說：七月初一，你們要守為聖安息日，要吹角作紀念，當有聖會。甚麼勞碌的工都不可做；要將火祭獻給耶和華。」

    七月初十日在利未記23章27-28節聖經這樣介紹：「七月初十是贖罪日；你們要守為聖會，並要刻苦己心，也要將火祭獻給耶和華。當這日，甚麼工都不可做；因為是贖罪日，要在耶和華─你們的上帝面前贖罪。」

    七月十五日在利未記23章34-36節聖經這樣介紹：「你曉諭以色列人說：這七月十五日是住棚節，要在耶和華面前守這節七日。第一日當有聖會，甚麼勞碌的工都不可做。七日內要將火祭獻給耶和華。第八日當守聖會，要將火祭獻給耶和華。這是嚴肅會，甚麼勞碌的工都不可做。」

    這裡是延續利未記在一次向以色列的百姓宣告，因為他們大多是第二代，可能忘記了這些節日的要求，所以摩西要在宣告一次！

    而摩西這樣在一次宣告，讓我們感受到教會的牧者之重要性，因為要不是牧者不斷的提醒，信徒可能會忘記信仰的事情，會任意而行而使教會失去教會該有的生命或生活方式！也就是說，牧者是信仰的記憶庫，沒有牧者教會忘記如何敬拜上帝，因為一般信徒大都不關心教會的事情，甚至是信仰的基礎都會忽略，使教會變樣了都不知！

詩篇41:1-13

41:1 （大衛的詩，交與伶長。）眷顧貧窮的有福了！他遭難的日子，耶和華必搭救他。
41:2 耶和華必保全他，使他存活；他必在地上享福。求你不要把他交給仇敵，遂其所願。
41:3 他病重在榻，耶和華必扶持他；他在病中，你必給他鋪床。
41:4 我曾說：耶和華啊，求你憐恤我，醫治我！因為我得罪了你。
41:5 我的仇敵用惡言議論我說：他幾時死，他的名才滅亡呢？
41:6 他來看我就說假話；他心存奸惡，走到外邊才說出來。
41:7 一切恨我的，都交頭接耳地議論我；他們設計要害我。
41:8 他們說：有怪病貼在他身上；他已躺臥，必不能再起來。
41:9 連我知己的朋友，我所倚靠、吃過我飯的也用腳踢我。
41:10 耶和華啊，求你憐恤我，使我起來，好報復他們！
41:11 因我的仇敵不得向我誇勝，我從此便知道你喜愛我。
41:12 你因我純正就扶持我，使我永遠站在你的面前。
41:13 耶和華─以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的，從亙古直到永遠。阿們！阿們！

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹ Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;
    the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.
² The Lord protects and preserves them—
    they are counted among the blessed in the land—
    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
³ The Lord sustains them on their sickbed
    and restores them from their bed of illness.

⁴ I said, “Have mercy on me, Lord;
    heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
⁵ My enemies say of me in malice,
    “When will he die and his name perish?”
⁶ When one of them comes to see me,
    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;
    then he goes out and spreads it around.

⁷ All my enemies whisper together against me;
    they imagine the worst for me, saying,
⁸ “A vile disease has afflicted him;
    he will never get up from the place where he lies.”
⁹ Even my close friend,
    someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
    has turned^[b] against me.

¹⁰ But may you have mercy on me, Lord;
    raise me up, that I may repay them.
¹¹ I know that you are pleased with me,
    for my enemy does not triumph over me.
¹² Because of my integrity you uphold me
    and set me in your presence forever.

¹³ Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.

    上帝對人關心和人對人的關心是完全不同的：上帝是真心關心人的需要；人的關心是虛假的，甚至心懷惡意！

    從詩人的字裡行間知道，他渴望的是上帝能為他伸冤，對那些用虛情假意對他的人受到懲罰，這樣他的心才能真正得著安慰！他也相信上帝一定會為他出這口氣的，所以祂以頌讚來向上帝祈求！

    其實，我們的人生的確是碰到許多傷害我們的人，使我們傷痕累累，真正使我們得醫治的只有上帝。所以，詩人這樣的表達，不是真的對人有恨意，而是盼望上帝的醫治！我們何嘗不是如此呢？

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。

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！
