1171. “拉玛的儿子” 同样表那些没有内在敬拜, 但有对信的认知之人, 他们的宗教信仰只在于具有这类认知; “示巴, 底但” 是指具有这些认知的民族, 因为在内义上, 这些民族表认知本身. 这从以下先知书的经文, 以及诗篇中有关西巴, 示巴和拉玛的经文明显看出来, 诗篇:

他施和海岛的王要进贡, 示巴和西巴的王要献礼物; 诸王都要叩拜祂. (诗篇 72:10-11)

这论及主, 祂的国和属天的教会. 谁都能看出, “贡” 和 “礼物” 在此表各种敬拜; 但是, 若不明白 “他施和海岛”, “示巴和西巴” 各是什么意思, 就不知道这些敬拜属于哪种类型, 以及它们的性质. 前面已说明 “他施和海岛” 表与内在相应的外在敬拜. 由此可知, “示巴和西巴” 表内在敬拜, 即 “示巴” 表敬拜的属天事物, “西巴” 表敬拜的属灵事物.

以赛亚书:

我已经使埃及作你的赎价, 使古实和西巴代替你. (以赛亚书 43:3)

此处, “古实和西巴” 表信的属灵事物. 同一先知书:

埃及劳碌得来的和古实的货物, 身量高大的西巴人都必过来归你. (以赛亚书 45:14)

“埃及劳碌得来的” 表知识, “古实的货物, 身量高大的西巴人” 表对属灵事物的认知, 这些认知有助于人们信主.

又:

成群的骆驼并米甸和以法的独峰驼必遮满你; 示巴的众人都必来到, 要奉上黄金乳香, 又要传说耶和华的赞美. 基达的羊群都必聚集到你这里. (以赛亚书 60:6, 7)

此处, “示巴” 用来表属天事物和衍生的属灵事物, 它们被描述为 “黄金乳香”; 就象刚才所解释的, 这些是 “耶和华的赞美”, 就是内在敬拜.

以西结书:

示巴和拉玛的商人与你交易, 他们用各类上好的香料, 各类的宝石和黄金兑换你的货物. (以西结书 27:22-23)

这论及推罗. “示巴和拉玛” 的意思从经上所说他们交易的货物清楚可知, 即香料, 宝石和黄金. “香料” 的内义是仁爱, “宝石” 的内义是源于仁之信, “黄金” 的内义是对主的爱, 所有这一切都是 “示巴” 所表示的属天事物. 严格来说, “示巴” 表对这些事物的认知, 这就是为何他们在此被称为 “商人” 的原因, 那些成为教会成员的人就被赋予这些认知, 因为没有认知, 没人能成为教会成员.

同样代表这类事物的还有, 拜访所罗门, 并给他带来香料, 黄金和宝石的示巴女王 (列王纪上10: 1-3), 还有耶稣出生时前来跪拜祂的东方智者, 他们打开财宝, 将黄金, 乳香和没药献为礼物 (马太福音 2:1, 11). 这些礼物表属天, 属灵和属世之善. 耶利米书:

从示巴出的乳香, 从远地出的甘蔗奉来给我有何益呢? 你们的燔祭不蒙悦纳. (耶利米书 6:20)

此处也很明显, “示巴” 表认知和崇拜, 也就是 “乳香和甘蔗” 所指的, 但它们在此是指那些缺乏仁爱的事物, 因而不蒙悦纳.

Exodus 22

പഠനം

   

1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

3 If the sun has risen on him, guilt of bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

5 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

6 "If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

8 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.

9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

10 "If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;

11 the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

14 "If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

16 "If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18 "You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

19 "Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

20 "He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.

21 "You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall you oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22 "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.

26 If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

28 "You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

29 "You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.

30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 "You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
