出埃及记 24

Studie

   

1 耶和华摩西:你和亚伦、拿答、亚比户,并以色列长老中的七十人,都要上到我这里来,远远的下拜。

2 惟独你可以亲耶和华;他们却不可亲;百姓也不可和你一同上来。

3 摩西下山,将耶和华的命令典章都述与百姓听。众百姓齐声耶和华所吩咐的,我们都必遵行。

4 摩西耶和华的命令都上。清起来,在筑一座,按以色列十二支派立十二根柱子,

5 又打发以色列人中的少年人去献燔祭,又向耶和华献牛为平安祭。

6 摩西将血一半盛在盆中,一半洒在上;

7 又将约念给百姓。他们耶和华所吩咐的,我们都必遵行。

8 摩西将血洒在百姓身上,:你看!这是立约的血,是耶和华按这一切与你们立约的凭据。

9 摩西亚伦、拿答、亚比户,并以色列长老中的七十人,都上了山。

10 他们以色列的,他彷佛有平铺的蓝宝石,如同色明净。

11 他的不加害在以色列的尊者身上。他们观看;他们又

12 耶和华摩西:你上到我这里来,住在这里,我要将版并我所的律法和诫命你,使你可以教训百姓。

13 摩西和他的帮手约书亚起来,上了

14 摩西对长老:你们在这里等着,等到我们回来,有亚伦、户珥与你们同在。凡有争讼的,都可以就他们去。

15 摩西,有彩把遮盖。

16 耶和华的荣耀停於西乃彩遮盖,第七他从中召摩西

17 耶和华的荣耀在顶上,在以色列人眼前,形状如烈

18 摩西进入中上,在四十昼夜。

Stone

  

Stones in the Bible in general represent truths, or things we know concerning the Lord and what He wants from us and for us in life. This is why the people of Israel built altars of stone, and is also why stoning was a principal form of capital punishment (using truth to destroy falsity, or in the negative sense using falsity to destroy truth). It is also why precious stones are described in such detail on Aaron's breastplate and ephod, and also in the New Jerusalem in Revelation; precious stones represent true ideas directly from the Lord with the various colors showing various forms of love. Stones are not alone in representing truth, of course -- it sometimes seems that almost everything in the Bible represents either true ideas or desires for good. But that makes sense, since our thoughts and our desires together are everything we are in life, and the interplay between them is what life is all about. The many ways they are represented in the Bible reflect the incredible variety in our feelings and thoughts, though we can only distantly understand how those representations work. In the case of stones, in their weight, strength and permanence they tend to represent true ideas that come from a desire for good, the understanding we can have if we are truly good and loving -- and in the highest sense the exalted ideas that come from the Lord's love. Those ideas are ones that are not easily moved or changed, and make wonderful foundations for the things we want to build in our spiritual lives.

历代志下 15

Studie

   

1 的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅。

2 他出来迎接亚撒,对他说:亚撒和犹大、便雅悯众人哪,要我说:你们若顺从耶和华,耶和华必与你们同在;你们若寻求他,就必寻见;你们若离弃他,他必离弃你们。

3 以色列人不信真,没有训诲的祭司,也没有律法,已经好久了;

4 但他们在急难的时候归向耶和华─以色列的,寻求他,他就被他们寻见。

5 那时,出入的人不得平安,列国的居民都遭大乱;

6 这国攻击那国,这城攻击那城,互相破坏,因为用各样灾难扰乱他们。

7 现在你们要刚强,不要软,因你们所行的必得赏赐

8 亚撒见这和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言,就壮起胆来,在犹大、便雅悯全,并以法莲所夺的各城,将可憎之物尽都除掉,又在耶和华殿的廊前重新修筑耶和华的

9 又招聚犹大、便雅悯的众人,并他们中间寄居的以法莲人、玛拿西人、西缅人。有许多以色列人归降亚撒,因见耶和华─他的与他同在。

10 亚撒十五,他们都聚集在耶路撒冷

11 当日他们从所取的掳物中,将牛只、只献给耶和华。

12 他们就立约,要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华─他们列祖的

13 凡不寻求耶和华─以色列的,无论小、女,必被治

14 他们就大声欢呼,吹号吹角,向耶和华起誓。

15 犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜;因他们是尽心起誓,尽意寻求耶和华,耶和华就被他们寻见,且赐他们四境平安。

16 亚撒王贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位,因他造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉。亚撒砍下他的偶像,捣得粉碎,烧在汲沦边。

17 只是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去,然而亚撒的心一生诚实。

18 亚撒将他父所分别为、与自己所分别为和器皿都奉到的殿里。

19 从这时直到亚撒三十五年,都没有争战的事。
