申命记 16

Studie

   

1 你要注意亚笔,向耶和华─你的逾越节,因为耶和华─你的在亚笔夜间领你出埃及

2 你当在耶和华所选择要立为他名的居所,从牛群羊群中,将逾越节的祭牲献给耶和华─你的

3 这祭牲,不可的饼;日之内要无酵饼,就是困苦饼─你本是急忙出了埃及─要叫你一生一世记念你从埃及出来的日子。

4 在你四境之内,日不可见面,头一日晚上所献的,一点不可留到早晨

5 耶和华─你所赐的各城中,你不可献逾越节的祭;

6 只当在耶和华─你所选择要立为他名的居所,晚上日落的时候,乃是你出埃及的时候,献逾越节的祭。

7 当在耶和华─你所选择的地方把肉烤了(烤:或作),次日早晨就回到你的帐棚去。

8 你要无酵日,第七日要向耶和华─你的守严肃会,不可做工。

9 你要计算日:从你开镰收割禾稼时算起,共计日。

10 你要照耶和华─你所赐你的福,里拿着甘心祭,献在耶和华─你的面前,守七七节。

11 你和你儿女、仆婢,并住在你城里的利未人,以及在你们中间寄居的与孤儿寡妇,都要在耶和华─你所选择立为他名的居所,在耶和华─你的面前欢乐。

12 你也要记念你在埃及作过奴仆。你要谨守遵行这些律例。

13 “你把禾场的谷、酒醡的酒收藏以后,就要守住棚日。

14 守节的时候,你和你儿女、仆婢,并住在你城里的利未人,以及寄居的与孤儿寡妇,都要欢乐。

15 耶和华所选择的地方,你当向耶和华─你的守节日;因为耶和华─你在你一切的土产上和你里所办的事上要赐福与你,你就非常的欢乐。

16 你一切的男丁要在除酵节、七七节、住棚节,一年三次,在耶和华─你所选择的地方朝见他,却不可空手朝见。

17 要按自己的力量,照耶和华─你所赐的福分,奉献礼物。

18 你要在耶和华─你所赐的各城里,按着各支派设立审判长。他们必按公的审判判断百姓。

19 不可屈枉正直;不可看人的外貌。也不可受贿赂;因为贿赂能叫智慧人的眼变瞎了,又能颠倒人的

20 你要追求至公至,好叫你存活,承受耶和华─你所赐你的

21 你为耶和华─你的,不可在旁栽甚麽树木作为偶。

22 也不可为自己设立柱像;这是耶和华─你所恨恶的。

Road

  

These days we tend to think of "roads" as smooth swaths of pavement and judge them by how fast we can drive cars on them. A "path" is something different, suitable only for walking or maybe bicycles, and a "way" has more to do with giving directions than any physical reality. When we get "lost" it usually means we're in a car on an unfamiliar road -- a far cry from being in the middle of a trackless wilderness with no idea which direction to go. The ancient world was very different, with isolated towns and endless square miles of trackless wilderness. Then a "way" was a set of landmarks to follow to get from one place to another through the wilderness. A "path" was a way used enough to leave a visible trace on the ground, and a "road" was a heavily used path, easily followed and walkable. So it makes sense that when used in the Bible, all three terms represent guiding truth, ideas that lead us where we want to go. This is pictured in the modern use of "way" -- when we talk about the "way" to do something or the "way" to get somewhere. We're talking about the correct, best, most efficient method of doing something or getting somewhere. And it's good information -- truth -- that helps us find that best way.
