利未記24:17-23


24:17 打死人的,必被治死;
24:18
打死牲畜的,必賠上牲畜,以命償命。
24:19
人若使他鄰舍的身體有殘疾,他怎樣行,也要照樣向他行:
24:20
以傷還傷,以眼還眼,以牙還牙。他怎樣叫人的身體有殘疾,也要照樣向他行。
24:21
打死牲畜的,必賠上牲畜;打死人的,必被治死。
24:22
不管是寄居的是本地人,同歸一例。我是耶和華你們的上帝。」
24:23
於是,摩西曉諭以色列人,他們就把那咒詛聖名的人帶到營外,用石頭打死。以色列人就照耶和華所吩咐摩西的行了。

17 “‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death. 18 Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life. 19 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. 21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death. 22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.’”
23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.

    侵犯別人是上帝所不喜悅的,而侵犯等級不同,就有不同的處置方式。因為人是要受到尊重的,不能隨意侵犯!人是如此,上帝更是如此,更是不可以被咒詛聖名,聖名就是代表上帝的本體!

    消極上是不可侵犯;積極上要本著敬畏上帝的心,尊重別人的身體和財產,更重要對上帝必須恭敬!

    求主幫助,讓我們愛上帝、愛人,透過基督與上帝與人都建立正確合宜的關係!



利未記24:10-16


24:10 有一個以色列婦人的兒子,他父親是埃及人,一日閒遊在以色列人中。這以色列婦人的兒子和一個以色列人在營裡爭鬥。
24:11
這以色列婦人的兒子褻瀆了聖名,並且咒詛,就有人把他送到摩西那裡。(他母親名叫示羅密,是但支派底伯利的女兒。)
24:12
他們把那人收在監裡,要得耶和華所指示的話。
24:13
耶和華曉諭摩西說:
24:14
「把那咒詛聖名的人帶到營外。叫聽見的人都放手在他頭上;全會眾就要用石頭打死他。
24:15
你要曉諭以色列人說:凡咒詛上帝的,必擔當他的罪。
24:16
那褻瀆耶和華名的,必被治死;全會眾總要用石頭打死他。不管是寄居的是本地人,他褻瀆耶和華名的時候,必被治死。

10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) 12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.
13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; 16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.

    上帝為了讓以色列人和寄居的人都能敬畏耶和華,所以嚴嚴的立了一個條例,就是:「那褻瀆耶和華名的,必被治死;全會眾總要用石頭打死他。不管是寄居的是本地人,他褻瀆耶和華名的時候,必被治死。」

    這也是今日教會要謹記的教訓,雖然我們不可以用宗教的名義殺人,但是要謹記在心,上帝是輕慢不得的,更是不可褻瀆耶和華名,因為耶和華的名是聖的,是不可侵犯的!

    不僅如此,上帝的恩典浩大,更是不能褻瀆耶和華名,反而要歸榮耀給上帝,感謝與讚美祂!



利未記24:5-9


24:5 「你要取細麵,烤成十二個餅,每餅用麵伊法十分之二。
24:6
要把餅擺列兩行(或譯:摞;下同),每行六個,在耶和華面前精金的桌子上;
24:7
又要把淨乳香放在每行餅上,作為紀念,就是作為火祭獻給耶和華。
24:8
每安息日要常擺在耶和華面前;這為以色列人作永遠的約。
24:9
這餅是要給亞倫和他子孫的;他們要在聖處吃,為永遠的定例,因為在獻給耶和華的火祭中是至聖的。」

“Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah[a] for each loaf. Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. By each stack put some pure incense as a memorial[b] portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is a most holy part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”

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

    「素祭」是麵粉當祭物,這讓我們聯想到今日教會的聖餐,因為耶穌基督用餅代表自己的身體,而餅就是麵粉製作的!表示,祂要成為餵養我們靈魂的食物,使我們的靈魂得飽足,這是上帝的旨意!

    也因為這樣,上帝對摩西曉諭:「這餅是要給亞倫和他子孫的;他們要在聖處吃,為永遠的定例,因為在獻給耶和華的火祭中是至聖的。」

    而素祭只有亞倫和他子孫可以食用,就像聖餐只有受洗歸入主的名下的人,才可以食用,這也是教會每次舉行聖餐會說到的!

    求主幫助,讓我們每次在領受聖餐的時候,能夠在聖靈裡確認這是主的身體,但是不要對這些餅鞠躬,物質上它還是餅,不能當成基督來看,它只是象徵基督的身體。

利未記24:1-4


24:1 耶和華曉諭摩西說:
24:2 「要吩咐以色列人,把那為點燈搗成的清橄欖油拿來給你,使燈常常點著。
24:3 在會幕中法櫃的幔子外,亞倫從晚上到早晨必在耶和華面前經理這燈。這要作你們世世代代永遠的定例。
24:4 他要在耶和華面前常收拾精金燈臺上的燈。」

The Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually. Outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the Lord from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord must be tended continually.

    「金燈台」在舊約時代是會幕或聖殿照明的裝置,所以上帝規定是不能熄滅,不管是白天和晚上,表示上帝是永遠光明的!

    然而在《啟示錄》120節說:「論到你所看見、在我右手中的七星和七個金燈臺的奧祕,那七星就是七個教會的使者,七燈臺就是七個教會。」

    所以,教會要如金燈臺一般,日夜成為光明的代表,引導人到上帝面前,領受上帝在基督裡的恩典!
