Jun 19 【每日活水】像以斯帖一样dao告

以斯帖记8:1~8

1 当日,亚哈随鲁王把犹大人仇敌哈曼的家产赐给王后以斯帖。末底改也来到王面前,因为以斯帖已经告诉王,末底改是她的亲属。

2 王摘下自己的戒指,就是从哈曼追回的,给了末底改。以斯帖派末底改管理哈曼的家产。

3 以斯帖又俯伏在王脚前,流泪哀告,求他除掉亚甲族哈曼害犹大人的恶谋。

4 王向以斯帖伸出金杖;以斯帖就起来,站在王前,

5 说:「亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设谋传旨,要杀灭在王各省的犹大人。现今王若愿意,我若在王眼前蒙恩,王若以为美,若喜悦我,请王另下旨意,废除哈曼所传的那旨意。

6 我何忍见我本族的人受害?何忍见我同宗的人被灭呢?」

7 亚哈随鲁王对王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改说:「因哈曼要下手害犹大人,我已将他的家产赐给以斯帖,人也将哈曼挂在木架上。

8 现在你们可以随意奉王的名写谕旨给犹大人,用王的戒指盖印;因为奉王名所写、用王戒指盖印的谕旨,人都不能废除。」

1 That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came into the presence of the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her.

2 The king took off his signet ring, which he had reclaimed from Haman, and presented it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed him over Haman’s estate.

3 Esther again pleaded with the king, falling at his feet and weeping. She begged him to put an end to the evil plan of Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews.

4 Then the king extended the gold scepter to Esther and she arose and stood before him.

5 “If it pleases the king,” she said, “and if he regards me with favor and thinks it the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be written overruling the dispatches that Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, devised and wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces.

6 For how can I bear to see disaster fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?”

7 King Xerxes replied to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Because Haman attacked the Jews, I have given his estate to Esther, and they have impaled him on the pole he set up.

8 Now write another decree in the king’s name in behalf of the Jews as seems best to you, and seal it with the king’s signet ring—for no document written in the king’s name and sealed with his ring can be revoked.”

废除……诏书(5节):哈曼虽死,但他的诏书仍然有效,因为王的诏书一旦颁布,就不可废除。
可6:34 “ YS 出来,见有一大群的人,就怜悯他们,因为他们如同羊没有牧人一般,于是开始教导他们许多事。”

灵/修指南

亚哈随鲁王处死了哈曼,没收了他的财产,并将其赐给了以斯帖,末底改也收到了王从哈曼那里取回来的戒指。一般来说,收到王的戒指,意味着可以代行王的权力。另一方面,哈曼虽然已死,但他奉王的名颁布的诏书仍然有效。于是以斯帖再次冒死来到王的面前,请求他废除要灭绝犹太人的王命(5节)。只是先前已经用王的戒指盖印的谕旨无法废除,于是王让以斯帖重新拟定一份新的诏书,用王的戒指盖印,以此来保护犹太人。最终,犹太人因为以斯帖的缘故,得了法律上的保护。由此可见,以斯帖和末底改是为了民族甘愿摆上自己性命的人。因为他们看百姓如同羊没有牧人,心中充满了怜悯(参可6:34)。对领袖来说,重要的是要有牧者的心肠。请铭记,要服事我们的群体,就要有怜悯关爱每一个灵魂的牧者之心。
