创世记 16

Studie

   

1 亚伯兰的妻子撒莱不给他生儿女。撒莱有一个使女,名叫夏甲,是埃及人。

2 撒莱对亚伯兰耶和华使我不能生育。求你和我的使女同房,或者我可以因他得孩子(原文作被建立)。亚伯兰听从了撒莱的话。

3 於是亚伯兰的妻子撒莱将使女埃及人夏甲丈夫为妾;那时亚伯兰迦南已经年。

4 亚伯兰与夏甲同房,夏甲就怀了孕;他见自己有孕,就小他的主母。

5 撒莱对亚伯兰:我因你受屈。我将我的使女放在你怀中,他见自己有了孕,就小我。愿耶和华在你我中间判断

6 亚伯兰对撒莱:使女在你下,你可以随意待他。撒莱苦待他,他就从撒莱面前逃走了。

7 耶和华的使者在旷野书珥上的泉旁遇见他,

8 对他:撒莱的使女夏甲,你从那里?要往那里去?夏甲:我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出

9 耶和华的使者对他:你回到你母那里,服在他

10 :我必使你的後裔极其繁多,甚至不可胜

11 :你如今怀孕要生一个儿子,可以给他起名以实玛利,因为耶和华见了你的苦情。(以实玛利就是神见的意思)

12 他为人必像野驴。他的要攻打人,人的也要攻打他;他必住在众弟兄的东边。

13 夏甲就称那对他说话耶和华顾人的神。因而:在这里我也见那顾我的麽?

14 所以这庇耳拉海莱。这正在加低斯和巴列中间。

15 後来夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子亚伯兰给他起名以实玛利

16 夏甲给亚伯兰以实玛利的时候,亚伯兰八十六岁。

Give

  
"Ahimelech Giving the Sword of Goliath to David" by Aert de Gelder

Like other common verbs, the meaning of "give" in the Bible is affected by context: who is giving what to whom? In general, though, giving relates to the fact that the Lord provides us all with true teachings for our minds and desires for good in our hearts, and for the fact that we need to accept those gifts while acknowledging that they come from the Lord, and not from ourselves. One of the most common and significant uses of "give" in the Bible is the repeated statement that the Lord had given the land of Canaan to the people of Israel. This springs from the fact that Canaan represents heaven, and illustrates that the Lord created us all for heaven and will give us heaven if we will accept the gift.
