Sep 28【每日活水】 SHEN 不喜悦算计，而喜悦顺从

出埃及记 10:1～20

蝗灾

1 耶/和/华对摩西说：「你进去见法老。我使他和他臣仆的心刚硬，为要在他们中间显我这些 SHEN 迹，

2 并要叫你将我向埃及人所做的事，和在他们中间所行的 SHEN 迹，传于你儿子和你孙子的耳中，好叫你们知道我是耶/和/华。」

3 摩西、亚伦就进去见法老，对他说：「耶/和/华－希伯来人的　 SHEN 这样说：『你在我面前不肯自卑要到几时呢？容我的百姓去，好事奉我。

4 你若不肯容我的百姓去，明天我要使蝗虫进入你的境内，

5 遮满地面，甚至看不见地，并且吃那冰雹所剩的和田间所长的一切树木。

6 你的宫殿和你众臣仆的房屋，并一切埃及人的房屋，都要被蝗虫占满了；自从你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗在世以来，直到今日，没有见过这样的灾。』」摩西就转身离开法老出去。

7 法老的臣仆对法老说：「这人为我们的网罗要到几时呢？容这些人去事奉耶/和/华－他们的　 SHEN 吧！埃及已经败坏了，你还不知道吗？」

8 于是摩西、亚伦被召回来见法老；法老对他们说：「你们去事奉耶/和/华－你们的　 SHEN ；但那要去的是谁呢？」

9 摩西说：「我们要和我们老的少的、儿子女儿同去，且把羊群牛群一同带去，因为我们务要向耶/和/华守节。」

10 法老对他们说：「我容你们和你们妇人孩子去的时候，耶/和/华与你们同在吧！你们要谨慎；因为有祸在你们眼前，

11 不可都去！你们这壮年人去事奉耶/和/华吧，因为这是你们所求的。」于是把他们从法老面前撵出去。

12 耶/和/华对摩西说：「你向埃及地伸杖，使蝗虫到埃及地上来，吃地上一切的菜蔬，就是冰雹所剩的。」

13 摩西就向埃及地伸杖，那一昼一夜，耶/和/华使东风刮在埃及地上；到了早晨，东风把蝗虫刮了来。

14 蝗虫上来，落在埃及的四境，甚是厉害；以前没有这样的，以后也必没有。

15 因为这蝗虫遮满地面，甚至地都黑暗了，又吃地上一切的菜蔬和冰雹所剩树上的果子。埃及遍地，无论是树木，是田间的菜蔬，连一点青的也没有留下。

16 于是法老急忙召了摩西、亚伦来，说：「我得罪耶/和/华－你们的　 SHEN ，又得罪了你们。

17 现在求你，只这一次，饶恕我的罪，求耶/和/华－你们的　 SHEN 使我脱离这一次的死亡。」

18 摩西就离开法老去求耶/和/华。

19 耶/和/华转了极大的西风，把蝗虫刮起，吹入红海；在埃及的四境连一个也没有留下。

20 但耶/和/华使法老的心刚硬，不容以色列人去。

The Plague of Locusts

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these signs of mine among them

2 that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord.”

3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me.

4 If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow.

5 They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields.

6 They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your parents nor your ancestors have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh.

7 Pharaoh’s officials said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the Lord their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?”

8 Then Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the Lord your God,” he said. “But tell me who will be going.”

9 Moses answered, “We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because we are to celebrate a festival to the Lord.”

10 Pharaoh said, “The Lord be with you—if I let you go, along with your women and children! Clearly you are bent on evil.

11 No! Have only the men go and worship the Lord, since that’s what you have been asking for.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh’s presence.

12 And the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over Egypt so that locusts swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail.”

13 So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts;

14 they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.

15 They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.

16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.

17 Now forgive my sin once more and pray to the Lord your God to take this deadly plague away from me.”

18 Moses then left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.

19 And the Lord changed the wind to a very strong west wind, which caught up the locusts and carried them into the Red Sea. Not a locust was left anywhere in Egypt.

20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.

内容观察

1. SHEN 说 TA 降下第八个灾祸的原因是什么?(1~2节)

2.法老因为蝗灾而心意动摇，就对摩西作出了什么提议?(10~11节)

思考与默想

3.法老为什么不放全体以色列人走,而只同意让壮年人离开?

个人感受

4.看到法老在和摩西协商时，内心充满算计，我有什么感想?

决心与应用

5.我何时曾表面顺从 SHEN 的话，内心却固执己见?

6.为了不再算计，而是全然顺从 SHEN 的话，我决定要怎么做?

灾祸就在你们面前(10节):原文亦可理解为“你们存着恶意”。法老认为摩西意图夺走他的奴仆。
地上一片黑暗(15节):成群的蝗虫就像乌云一样，遮住了太阳的光辉。

灵/修指南

法老经历了七次灾祸，却仍然不愿顺从 SHEN 的话，于是 SHEN 透过摩西降下第八灾(4~5,13 节)。法老的臣仆听到摩西对于蝗灾的预告之后，想法有所动摇，向来和法老一样硬着心的他们，如今开始害怕埃及会因此灭亡(7节)。 SHEN 透过蝗灾显出 TA 的权能，也让埃及和以色列人知道 TA 是怎样的一位 SHEN 。法老试图和摩西协商,让壮年人离开，将妇女和孩子留下作为人质，结果协商不成，就把摩西和亚伦赶了出去(10~11节)。他的心思和算计在 SHEN 的面前化为泡影，以致他恼着成怒。 SHEN 不喜悦算计，而是喜悦顺从。盼望我们放下个人的心思和算计，全然顺从 SHEN 的话语，成为讨 TA 喜悦的儿女。

内室dao告

愿我放下无谓的固执和算计，单单顺从 SHEN 的话，作讨袖喜悦的儿女。
