如申命记 17

Studie

   

1 凡有殘疾,或有甚麼惡病的牛羊,你都不可獻給耶和華─你的,因為這是耶和華─你所憎惡的。

2 在你們中間,在耶和華─你所賜你的諸城中,無論那座城裡,若有,或或女,行耶和華─你眼中看為惡的事,違背了他的約,

3 去事奉敬拜別,或拜日頭,或拜月亮,或拜象,是主不曾吩咐的;

4 有人告訴你,你也見了,就要細細的探,果然是真,準有這可憎惡的事行在以色列中,

5 你就要將行這惡事的男人女人拉到城外,用石頭將他打

6 要憑兩個人的作見證將那當的人治;不可憑個人的作見證將他治

7 見證人要先下,然後眾民也下將他治死。這樣,就把那惡從你們中間除掉。

8 你城中若起了爭訟的事,或因流血,或因爭競,或因毆打,是你難斷的案件,你就當起來,往耶和華─你所選擇的地方

9 去見祭司利未人,並當時的審判官,求問他們,他們必將判語指示你。

10 他們在耶和華所選擇的地方指示你的判語,你必照著他們所指教你的一切謹守遵行。

11 要按他們所指教你的律法,照他們所斷定的去行;他們所指示你的判語,你不可偏離左右。

12 若有擅敢不從那侍立在耶和華─你面前的祭司,或不從審判官,那就必治;這樣,便將那惡從以色列中除掉。

13 眾百姓都要害怕,不再擅敢行事。

14 到了耶和華─你所賜你的,得了那居住的時候,若:我要立王治理我,像四圍的國一樣。

15 你總要立耶和華─你所揀選的為王。必從你弟兄中立一;不可立你弟兄以外的為王。

16 只是王不可為自己加添馬匹,也不可使百姓回埃及去,為要加添他的馬匹,因耶和華曾吩咐你們:不可再回那條去。

17 他也不可為自己多立妃嬪,恐怕他的心偏邪;也不可為自己多積

18 他登了國位,就要將祭司利未人面前的這律法,為自己抄錄一本,

19 存在他那裡,要平生誦讀,好學習敬畏耶和華─他的,謹守遵行這律書上的一切言語和這些律例,

20 免得他向弟兄心氣傲,偏左偏右,離了這誡命。這樣,他和他的子孫便可在以色列中,在國位上年長日久。

Command

  
Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze

To command is to give an order that something must be done, and is directed to an individual, or a group. It is an imperative, not a suggestion. Commanding can be done in two ways, or from two differing motives. It often comes in an organization, where it is used to impose an order that is necessary to do the organization's work, such as a business, or government or an army, and can be legitimate, or is used in a family by parents to maintain an orderly home. But it can also be used by a person who loves power and having gotten it in some way, loves to impose his or her will on others for selfish gratification. So one motive is love of a use, or of good, and the other is for the love of self, or possessions. The Lord, from His infinite love, has given mankind commandments because He is order itself, and knows that our happiness to eternity depends on our acceptance of His order of creation, which ultimately is the only order that exists.
