利未記 19

Studie

   

1 耶和華摩西

2 你曉諭以色列全會眾:你們要聖潔,因為我耶和華─你們的是聖潔的。

3 你們各都當孝敬父母,也要守我的安息日。我是耶和華─你們的

4 你們不可偏向虛無的,也不可為自己鑄造像。我是耶和華─你們的

5 你們獻平安祭給耶和華的時候,要獻得可蒙悅納。

6 這祭物要在獻的那一天和第二,若有第三的,就必用焚燒。

7 第三若再,這就為可憎惡的,必不蒙悅納。

8 的人必擔當他的罪孽;因為他褻瀆了耶和華的物,那人必從民中剪除。

9 在你們的收割莊稼,不可割盡田角,也不可拾取所遺落的。

10 不可摘盡葡萄園的果子,也不可拾取葡萄園所掉的果子;要留給窮人和寄居的。我是耶和華你─們的

11 你們不可盜,不可欺騙,也不可彼此說謊。

12 不可指著我的名起假誓,褻瀆你的名。我是耶和華

13 不可欺壓你的鄰舍,也不可搶奪他的物。雇工人的工價,不可在你那裡過夜,留到早晨

14 不可咒罵聾子,也不可將絆腳石放在瞎子面前,只要敬畏你的。我是耶和華

15 你們施行審判,不可行不;不可偏護窮人,也不可重看有勢力的人,只要按著公審判你的鄰舍。

16 不可在民中往來搬弄是非,也不可與鄰舍為敵,置之於死(原文作流他的血)。我是耶和華

17 不可心裡恨你的弟兄;總要指摘你的鄰舍,免得因他擔罪。

18 不可報仇,也不可埋怨你本國的子民,卻要人如己。我是耶和華

19 你們要守我的律例。不可叫你的牲畜與異類配合;不可用兩樣攙雜的種種你的地,也不可用兩樣攙雜的料做衣服穿在身上。

20 婢女許配了丈夫,還沒有被贖、得釋放,若與他行淫,二要受刑罰,卻不把他們治死,因為婢女還沒有得自由。

21 那人要把贖愆祭,就是一隻公綿牽到會幕口、耶和華面前。

22 祭司要用贖愆祭的耶和華面前贖他所犯的,他的就必蒙赦免。

23 你們到了迦南,栽種各樣結果子的樹木,就要以所結的果子如未受割禮的一樣。年之久,你們要以這些果子,如未受割禮的,是不可的。

24 第四年所結的果子全要成為,用以讚美耶和華

25 第五年,你們要那樹上的果子,好叫樹給你們結果子更多。我是耶和華─你們的

26 你們不可帶血的物;不可用法術,也不可觀兆。

27 的周圍不可剃,(周圍或作:兩鬢)鬍鬚的周圍也不可損壞。

28 不可為死人用刀劃身,也不可在身上刺花紋。我是耶和華

29 不可辱沒你的女兒,使他為娼妓,恐怕上的人專向淫亂,就滿了大惡。

30 你們要守我的安息日,敬我的聖所。我是耶和華

31 不可偏向那些交鬼的和行巫術的;不可求問他們,以致被他們玷污了。我是耶和華─你們的

32 在白髮的人面前,你要站起來;也要尊敬老人,又要敬畏你的。我是耶和華

33 若有外人在你們國中和你同居,就不可欺負他。

34 和你們同居的外人,你們要看他如本人一樣,並要他如己,因為你們在埃及也作過寄居的。我是耶和華─你們的

35 你們施行審判,不可行不義;在尺、秤、升、斗上也是如此。

36 要用公道天平、公道法碼、公道升斗、公道。我是耶和華─你們的,曾把你們從埃及領出來的。

37 你們要謹守遵行我一切的律例典章。我是耶和華

Moses

  

At the inmost level, the story of Moses -- like all of the Bible -- is about the Lord and his spiritual development during his human life as Jesus. Moses's role represents establishing forms of worship and to make the people obedient. As such, his primary representation is "the Law of God," the rules God gave the people of Israel to follow in order to represent spiritual things. This can be interpreted narrowly as the Ten Commandments, more broadly as the books of Moses, or most broadly as the entire Bible. Fittingly, his spiritual meaning is complex and important, and evolves throughout the course of his life. To understand it, it helps to understand the meaning of the events in which he was involved. At a more basic level, Moses's story deals with the establishment of the third church to serve as a container of knowledge of the Lord. The first such church -- the Most Ancient Church, represented by Adam and centered on love of the Lord -- had fallen prey to human pride and was destroyed. The second -- the Ancient Church, represented by Noah and the generations that followed him -- was centered on love of the neighbor, wisdom from the Lord and knowledge of the correspondences between natural and spiritual things. It fell prey to the pride of intelligence, however -- represented by the Tower of Babel -- and at the time of Moses was in scattered pockets that were sliding into idolatry. On an external level, of course, Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt through 40 years in the wilderness to the border of the homeland God had promised them. Along the way, he established and codified their religious system, and oversaw the creation of its most holy objects. Those rules and the forms of worship they created were given as containers for deeper ideas about the Lord, deeper truth, and at some points -- especially when he was first leading his people away from Egypt, a time before the rules had been written down -- Moses takes on the deeper representation of Divine Truth itself, truth from the Lord. At other times -- especially after Mount Sinai -- he has a less exalted meaning, representing the people of Israel themselves due to his position as their leader. Through Moses the Lord established a third church, one more external than its predecessors but one that could preserve knowledge of the Lord and could, through worship that represented spiritual things, make it possible for the Bible to be written and passed to future generations.
