如申命记 4

Studie

   

1 以色列人哪,現在我所教訓你們的律例典章,你們要從遵行,好叫你們存活,得以進入耶和華─你們列祖之所賜你們的,承受為業。

2 所吩咐你們的,你們不可加添,也不可刪減,好叫你們遵守我所吩咐的,就是耶和華─你們命令

3 耶和華因巴力毘珥的事所行的,你們親眼見了。凡隨從巴力毘珥的耶和華─你們的都從你們中間除滅了。

4 惟有你們專靠耶和華─你們的人,今日全都存活。

5 我照著耶和華─我所吩咐的將律例典章教訓你們,使你們在所要進去得為業的上遵行。

6 所以你們要謹守遵行;這就是你們在萬民眼前的智慧、聰明。他們見這一切律例,必:這國的人真是有智慧,有聰明!

7 那一國的人有與他們相近,像耶和華─我們的、在我們求告他的時候與我們相近呢?

8 又那一國有這樣公的律例典章、像我今日在你們面前所陳明的這一切律呢?

9 你只要謹慎,殷勤保守你的心靈,免得忘記你親眼所見的事,又免得你一生這事離開你的心;總要傳給你的子子孫孫。

10 你在何烈山站在耶和華─你面前的那日,耶和華對我:你為我招聚百姓,我要叫他們見我的,使他們存活在世的日子,可以學習敬畏我,又可以教訓兒女這樣行。

11 那時你們近前來,站在上有焰沖,並有昏黑、密、幽

12 耶和華焰中對你們說話,你們只見聲音,卻沒有見形像。

13 他將所吩咐你們當守的約指示你們,就是條誡,並將這誡在兩塊版上。

14 那時耶和華又吩咐我將律例典章教訓你們,使你們在所要過去得為業的上遵行。

15 所以,你們要分外謹慎;因為耶和華在何烈山、從中對你們說話的那日,你們沒有見甚麼形像。

16 惟恐你們敗壞自己,雕刻偶像,彷彿甚麼男像像,

17 上走的像,或空中的像,

18 上爬物的像,或中魚的像。

19 又恐怕你向舉目觀,見耶和華─你的萬民所擺列的日月,就是上的萬象,自己便被勾引敬拜事奉他。

20 耶和華將你們從埃及領出來,脫離爐,要特作自己產業的子民,像今日一樣。

21 耶和華又因你們的緣故向我發怒,起誓必不容我過約但河,也不容我進入耶和華─你所賜你為業的那美

22 我只得在這,不能過約但河;但你們必過去得那美

23 你們要謹慎,免得忘記耶和華─你們與你們所立的約,為自己雕刻偶像,就是耶和華─你所禁止你做的偶像;

24 因為耶和華─你的乃是烈,是忌邪的

25 你們在那住久了,生子生孫,就雕刻偶像,彷彿甚麼形像,敗壞自己,行耶和華─你眼中看為惡的事,惹他發怒。

26 我今日呼向你們作見證,你們必在過約但河得為業的上速速滅盡!你們不能在那上長久,必盡行除滅。

27 耶和華必使你們分散在萬民中;在他所領你們到的萬國裡,你們剩下的人數稀少。

28 在那裡,你們必事奉人所造的,就是用造成、不能、不能、不能、不能聞的

29 但你們在那裡必尋求耶和華─你的。你盡心盡性尋求他的時候,就必尋見。

30 日後你遭遇一切患難的時候,你必歸回耶和華─你的從他的話。

31 耶和華─你原是有憐憫的;他總不撇下你,不滅絕你,也不忘記他起誓與你列祖所立的約。

32 你且考察在你以前的世代,自造人在世以來,從這邊到那邊,曾有何民在火中說話的聲音,像你見還能存活呢?

33 這樣的大事何曾有、何曾見呢?

34 何曾從別的國中將一國的人民領出,用試驗、蹟、奇事、爭戰、能的,和伸出的膀,並可畏的事,像耶和華─你們的埃及,在你們眼前為你們所行的一切事呢?

35 這是顯給你,要使你知道,惟有耶和華─他是,除他以外,再無別

36 他從上使你見他的聲音,為要教訓你,又在上使你見他的烈,並且見他從中所說的

37 因他你的列祖,所以揀選他們的裔,用能親自領你出了埃及

38 要將比你強的國民從你面前趕出,領你進去,將他們的賜你為業,像今日一樣。

39 所以,今日你要知道,也要記在心上,惟有耶和華他是,除他以外,再無別

40 我今日將他的律例誡命曉諭你,你要遵守,使你和你的子孫可以得福,並使你的日子在耶和華─你所賜的地上得以長久。

41 那時,摩西在約但河東,向日出之地,分定座城,

42 使那素無仇恨、無心殺了人的,可以逃到這三城之中的座城,就得存活:

43 為流便人分定曠野平原的比悉;為迦得人分定基列的拉末;為瑪拿西人分定巴珊的哥蘭。

44 摩西以色列人面前所陳明的律法─

45 就是摩西以色列人埃及後所傳給他們的度、律例、典章;

46 在約但河東伯毘珥對面的谷中,在希實本、亞摩利王西宏之;這西宏是摩西以色列人埃及後所擊殺的。

47 他們得了他的,又得了巴珊噩的,就是兩個亞摩利,在約但河東向日出

48 從亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥,直到西雲,就是黑門

49 還有約但河東的全亞拉巴,直到亞拉巴,靠近毘斯迦山根。

284. The details just quoted about the proclamation of the law, its holiness and power, are to be found in the following passages of the Word. Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and the mountain then smoked and shook, there was thunder and lightning, an oppressive cloud and the sound of a trumpet: Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-26. The people prepared and sanctified themselves for three days before Jehovah came down: Exodus 19:10-11, 15. The mountain was hedged about to prevent anyone approaching its foot and coming near and being killed; not even the priests approached, only Moses: Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2. The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai: Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The law was inscribed on two stone tablets, and written by the finger of God: Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10. When Moses carried the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone so that he had to cover his face with a veil when talking with the people: Exodus 34:29-35. The tablets were laid up in the Ark: Exodus 25:16, 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9. The mercy-seat was mounted upon the Ark, and over it were placed cherubim made of gold: Exodus 25:17-21. The Ark together with the mercy-seat and the cherubim was put into the Tabernacle, constituting its first and thus most inward part; the table overlaid with gold, upon which was the bread of the Presence, the incense-altar of gold, and the lamp-stand and lamps of gold, made up the external part of the Tabernacle; the ten curtains of fine linen, purple and scarlet were its outermost part: Exodus 25:1-end; Exodus 26:1-end; Exodus 40:17-28. The place, where the Ark was, was called the Holy of Holies: Exodus 26:33. The whole people of Israel camped around the Tabernacle in the order of their tribes, and set out in order after it: Numbers 2:1-end. There was then a cloud over the Tabernacle by day and fire by night: Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-end; Numbers 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33. Jehovah spoke with Moses above the Ark, between the cherubim: Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89. The Ark was called from the law in it 'Jehovah-is-here'; for Moses said when the Ark set out 'Arise, Jehovah', and when it rested 'Return, Jehovah': Numbers 10:35-36; and further 2 Samuel 6:2 1 ; Psalms 132:7-8. On account of the holiness of the law Aaron was not allowed to go inside the veil, except with sacrifices and incense: Leviticus 16:2-14ff. By the presence of the Lord's power in the law contained in the Ark the waters of Jordan were parted, and the people crossed over on dry land, so long as it rested in the midst: ; 4:5-20. When the Ark was carried round them, the walls of Jericho fell down: Joshua 6:1-20. Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the ground in the presence of the Ark, and afterwards was found lying on the threshold of the shrine with his head torn off and the palms of his hands cut off: 1 Samuel 5. The men of Bethshemesh were smitten because of the Ark to the number of many thousands: 1 Samuel 5, 6. Uzzah was killed by touching the Ark: 2 Samuel 6:7. The Ark was brought into Zion by David with sacrifices and jubilation: 2 Samuel 6:1-19. The Ark was brought by Solomon into the Temple at Jerusalem, where he made its inner shrine: 1 Kings 6:19ff; 1 Kings 8:3-9.
