民數記34:1-29

34:1 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
34:2 「你吩咐以色列人說：你們到了迦南地，就是歸你們為業的迦南四境之地，
34:3 南角要從尋的曠野，貼著以東的邊界；南界要從鹽海東頭起，
34:4 繞到亞克拉濱坡的南邊，接連到尋，直通到加低斯‧巴尼亞的南邊，又通到哈薩‧亞達，接連到押們，
34:5 從押們轉到埃及小河，直通到海為止。
34:6 「西邊要以大海為界；這就是你們的西界。
34:7 「北界要從大海起，劃到何珥山，
34:8 從何珥山劃到哈馬口，通到西達達，
34:9 又通到西斐崙，直到哈薩‧以難。這要作你們的北界。
34:10 「你們要從哈薩‧以難劃到示番為東界。
34:11 這界要從示番下到亞延東邊的利比拉，又要達到基尼烈湖的東邊。
34:12 這界要下到約旦河，通到鹽海為止。這四圍的邊界以內，要作你們的地。」
34:13 摩西吩咐以色列人說：「這地就是耶和華吩咐拈鬮給九個半支派承受為業的；
34:14 因為流便支派和迦得支派按著宗族受了產業，瑪拿西半個支派也受了產業。
34:15 這兩個半支派已經在耶利哥對面、約旦河東、向日出之地受了產業。」
34:16 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
34:17 「要給你們分地為業之人的名字是祭司以利亞撒和嫩的兒子約書亞。
34:18 又要從每支派中選一個首領幫助他們。
34:19 這些人的名字：猶大支派有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒。
34:20 西緬支派有亞米忽的兒子示母利。
34:21 便雅憫支派有基斯倫的兒子以利達。
34:22 但支派有一個首領，約利的兒子布基。
34:23 約瑟的子孫瑪拿西支派有一個首領，以弗的兒子漢聶。
34:24 以法蓮支派有一個首領，拾弗但的兒子基母利。
34:25 西布倫支派有一個首領，帕納的兒子以利撒番。
34:26 以薩迦支派有一個首領，阿散的兒子帕鐵。
34:27 亞設支派有一個首領，示羅米的兒子亞希忽。
34:28 拿弗他利支派有一個首領，亞米忽的兒子比大黑。
34:29 這些人就是耶和華所吩咐、在迦南地把產業分給以色列人的。

The Lord said to Moses, ² “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance is to have these boundaries:

³ “‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea, ⁴ cross south of Scorpion Pass, continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon, ⁵ where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.

⁶ “‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your boundary on the west.

⁷ “‘For your northern boundary, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor ⁸ and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad, ⁹ continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

¹⁰ “‘For your eastern boundary, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. ¹¹ The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.^{[a] 12} Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.

“‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’”

¹³ Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot as an inheritance. The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine and a half tribes, ¹⁴ because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance. ¹⁵ These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

¹⁶ The Lord said to Moses, ¹⁷ “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. ¹⁸ And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land. ¹⁹ These are their names:

Caleb son of Jephunneh,

from the tribe of Judah;

²⁰ Shemuel son of Ammihud,

from the tribe of Simeon;

²¹ Elidad son of Kislon,

from the tribe of Benjamin;

²² Bukki son of Jogli,

the leader from the tribe of Dan;

²³ Hanniel son of Ephod,

the leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

²⁴ Kemuel son of Shiphtan,

the leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;

²⁵ Elizaphan son of Parnak,

the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

²⁶ Paltiel son of Azzan,

the leader from the tribe of Issachar;

²⁷ Ahihud son of Shelomi,

the leader from the tribe of Asher;

²⁸ Pedahel son of Ammihud,

the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”

²⁹ These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

    雖然尚未進入迦南地，但是上帝透過摩西的曉諭，讓以色列人肯定將來必得那裏為業，因為上帝的應許是不會落空的，是必定會實現的！也因為這樣，以色列人做好準備了，也選好各族的族長以及整個以色列的領袖和大祭司。

    而從以色列人的肯定，也讓我們肯定耶穌基督必定再來，而上帝國必定完全實現，絕對不會落空的！雖然這事還沒發生，也沒有人確切知道主耶穌哪時候會再來，但是主耶穌再來，上帝完全實現，必定會發生的，你有準備好迎接主的再來嗎？

    雖然有需多的戰爭與災禍發生，都提醒我們主耶穌快再來的，而主耶穌也必定會再來的，你有沒有忠心位主而活？有沒有確實彼此相愛呢？更重要你有沒有愛主耶穌，盼望與祂永遠同在嗎？

詩篇47:1-9

47:1 （可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長。）萬民哪，你們都要拍掌！要用誇勝的聲音向上帝呼喊！
47:2 因為耶和華至高者是可畏的；他是治理全地的大君王。
47:3 他叫萬民服在我們以下，又叫列邦服在我們腳下。
47:4 他為我們選擇產業，就是他所愛之雅各的榮耀。（細拉）
47:5 上帝上升，有喊聲相送；耶和華上升，有角聲相送。
47:6 你們要向上帝歌頌，歌頌！向我們王歌頌，歌頌！
47:7 因為上帝是全地的王；你們要用悟性歌頌。
47:8 上帝作王治理萬國；上帝坐在他的聖寶座上。
47:9 列邦的君王聚集要作亞伯拉罕之上帝的民。因為世界的盾牌是屬上帝的；他為至高！

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

¹ Clap your hands, all you nations;
    shout to God with cries of joy.

² For the Lord Most High is awesome,
    the great King over all the earth.
³ He subdued nations under us,
    peoples under our feet.
⁴ He chose our inheritance for us,
    the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.^[b]

⁵ God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
    the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
⁶ Sing praises to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
⁷ For God is the King of all the earth;
    sing to him a psalm of praise.

⁸ God reigns over the nations;
    God is seated on his holy throne.
⁹ The nobles of the nations assemble
    as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings^[c] of the earth belong to God;
    he is greatly exalted.

    詩人在此歌頌上帝為王，讓我們不禁想到上帝國完全實現的狀態！正如啟示錄中說到：「世上的國成了我主和主基督的國；他要作王，直到永永遠遠。」（啟示錄11:15）

    啟示錄在此也說到當天使這樣宣告之後，「在上帝面前，坐在自己位上的二十四位長老，就面伏於地，敬拜上帝，說：昔在、今在的主上帝─全能者啊，我們感謝你！因你執掌大權作王了。」（啟示錄11:16-17）

    所以，敬拜上帝，就是承認上帝是王！祂有主權來治理全世界，更是有主權蘭治理敬拜祂的人，是他們心中永遠的王！也因此，我們要歡迎上帝來我們心中，永遠掌王權，願意成為一位順命的兒女！

   

    快來！擁戴主為王！

33:55 倘若你們不趕出那地的居民，所容留的居民就必作你們眼中的刺，肋下的荊棘，也必在你們所住的地上擾害你們。
33:56 而且我素常有意怎樣待他們，也必照樣待你們。」

 Here are the stages in the journey of the Israelites when they came out of Egypt by divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. ² At the Lord’s command Moses recorded the stages in their journey. This is their journey by stages:

³ The Israelites set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the Passover. They marched out defiantly in full view of all the Egyptians, ⁴ who were burying all their firstborn, whom the Lord had struck down among them; for the Lord had brought judgment on their gods.

⁵ The Israelites left Rameses and camped at Sukkoth.

⁶ They left Sukkoth and camped at Etham, on the edge of the desert.

⁷ They left Etham, turned back to Pi Hahiroth, to the east of Baal Zephon, and camped near Migdol.

⁸ They left Pi Hahiroth^[a] and passed through the sea into the desert, and when they had traveled for three days in the Desert of Etham, they camped at Marah.

⁹ They left Marah and went to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.

¹⁰ They left Elim and camped by the Red Sea.^[b]

¹¹ They left the Red Sea and camped in the Desert of Sin.

¹² They left the Desert of Sin and camped at Dophkah.

¹³ They left Dophkah and camped at Alush.

¹⁴ They left Alush and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.

¹⁵ They left Rephidim and camped in the Desert of Sinai.

¹⁶ They left the Desert of Sinai and camped at Kibroth Hattaavah.

¹⁷ They left Kibroth Hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth.

¹⁸ They left Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah.

¹⁹ They left Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perez.

²⁰ They left Rimmon Perez and camped at Libnah.

²¹ They left Libnah and camped at Rissah.

²² They left Rissah and camped at Kehelathah.

²³ They left Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher.

²⁴ They left Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah.

²⁵ They left Haradah and camped at Makheloth.

²⁶ They left Makheloth and camped at Tahath.

²⁷ They left Tahath and camped at Terah.

²⁸ They left Terah and camped at Mithkah.

²⁹ They left Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah.

³⁰ They left Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth.

³¹ They left Moseroth and camped at Bene Jaakan.

³² They left Bene Jaakan and camped at Hor Haggidgad.

³³ They left Hor Haggidgad and camped at Jotbathah.

³⁴ They left Jotbathah and camped at Abronah.

³⁵ They left Abronah and camped at Ezion Geber.

³⁶ They left Ezion Geber and camped at Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.

³⁷ They left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the border of Edom. ³⁸ At the Lord’s command Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor, where he died on the first day of the fifth month of the fortieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt. ³⁹ Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.

⁴⁰ The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev of Canaan, heard that the Israelites were coming.

⁴¹ They left Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.

⁴² They left Zalmonah and camped at Punon.

⁴³ They left Punon and camped at Oboth.

⁴⁴ They left Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim, on the border of Moab.

⁴⁵ They left Iye Abarim and camped at Dibon Gad.

⁴⁶ They left Dibon Gad and camped at Almon Diblathaim.

⁴⁷ They left Almon Diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, near Nebo.

⁴⁸ They left the mountains of Abarim and camped on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. ⁴⁹ There on the plains of Moab they camped along the Jordan from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim.

⁵⁰ On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho the Lord said to Moses, ⁵¹ “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan, ⁵² drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places. ⁵³ Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. ⁵⁴ Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes.

⁵⁵ “‘But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live. ⁵⁶ And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.’”

***********

    上帝讓以色列人透過這樣的回顧，想到上帝是如何一路帶領，使他們脫離埃及為奴之地，將要進入上帝為他們預備的迦南美地！並且也在這個時候，展望未來：預備好自己來享受上帝豐盛的恩典。

    在進入迦南地前，上帝曉諭摩西說：「你吩咐以色列人說：你們過約旦河進迦南地的時候，就要從你們面前趕出那裡所有的居民，毀滅他們一切鏨成的石像和他們一切鑄成的偶像，又拆毀他們一切的邱壇。你們要奪那地，住在其中，因我把那地賜給你們為業。你們要按家室拈鬮，承受那地；人多的，要把產業多分給他們；人少的，要把產業少分給他們。拈出何地給何人，就要歸何人。你們要按宗族的支派承受。倘若你們不趕出那地的居民，所容留的居民就必作你們眼中的刺，肋下的荊棘，也必在你們所住的地上擾害你們。而且我素常有意怎樣待他們，也必照樣待你們。」

    而以色列進入迦南地之後，影響他們無法和耶和華有合宜的關係的因素，就是「邱壇」和「沒趕出那地的居民」，使他們受到牽連沒平安！同樣今日的基督徒在信主之後，要靠聖靈的力量和「魔鬼―世界―肉體」三合一的敵人征戰，但是我們不要懼怕，耶穌基督已經在十字架上得勝了！所以，勝利是屬於上帝和他的兒女，直到永遠！
