哈該書 1

Studimi

1 利烏王第二初一日,耶和華的先知哈該向猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子祭司約書亞說:

2 萬軍之耶和華如此:這百姓建造耶和華殿的時候尚未來到。

3 那時耶和華的臨到先知哈該說:

4 這殿仍然荒涼,你們自己還天花板的房屋麼?

5 現在萬軍之耶和華如此:你們要省察自己的行為。

6 你們撒的種多,收的卻少;你們,卻不得飽;,卻不得足;穿衣服,卻不得暖;得工錢的,將工錢裝在破漏的囊中。

7 萬軍之耶和華如此:你們要省察自己的行為。

8 你們要上料,建造這殿,我就因此喜樂,且得榮耀。這是耶和華的。

9 你們盼望多得,所得的卻少;你們收到家中,我就吹去。這是為甚麼呢?因為我的殿荒涼,你們各卻顧(原文是奔)自己的房屋。這是萬軍之耶和華的。

10 所以為你們的緣故,就不降甘也不出土產。

11 我命乾旱臨到土、岡、五穀、新酒,和油,並上的出產、人民、牲畜,以及人手一切勞碌得來的。

12 那時,撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子祭司約書亞,並剩下的百姓,都耶和華─他們先知哈該奉耶和華─他們差來所說的;百姓也在耶和華面前存敬畏的心。

13 耶和華的使者哈該奉耶和華差遣對百姓耶和華:我與你們同在。

14 耶和華激動猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子祭司約書亞,並剩下之百姓的心,他們就為萬軍之耶和華─他們的殿做工。

15 這是在大利烏王第二二十日。

4177. 'Fourteen years for your two daughters' means the first period, the purpose of which was that He might acquire to Himself the affections for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'fourteen', or two 'weeks', as the first period (for the expression 'weeks' in the Word means nothing else than a whole period, long or short, see 2044, 3845; and when 'two weeks' are referred to as a single period the same applies, since the doubling and the squaring of a number does not alter the meaning. From this it is evident what 'fourteen' or two 'weeks' means here); and from the meaning of 'two daughters', who in this case are Rachel and Leah, as affections for truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819, and in addition in 2362, where the meaning of 'daughters' as affections is dealt with.
