Nov 05【每日活水】唯有 SHEN 能赐下安息和富足

 

出埃及记 23:10~19

安息年和安息日
10「六年你要耕种田地,收藏土产,
11 只是第七年要叫地歇息,不耕不种,使你民中的穷人有吃的;他们所剩下的,野兽可以吃。你的葡萄园和橄榄园也要照样办理。
12「六日你要做工,第七日要安息,使牛、驴可以歇息,并使你婢女的儿子和寄居的都可以舒畅。
13「凡我对你们说的话,你们要谨守。别 SHEN 的名,你不可提,也不可从你口中传说。」
三大节期
 14「一年三次,你要向我守节。
15 你要守除酵节,照我所吩咐你的,在亚笔月内所定的日期,吃无酵饼七天。谁也不可空手朝见我,因为你是这月出了埃及。
16 又要守收割节,所收的是你田间所种、劳碌得来初熟之物。并在年底收藏,要守收藏节。
17 一切的男丁要一年三次朝见主耶/和/华。
18「不可将我祭牲的血和有酵的饼一同献上;也不可将我节上祭牲的脂油留到早晨。
19「地里首先初熟之物要送到耶/和/华-你  SHEN 的殿。 「不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。」
Sabbath Laws
10 “For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops,
11 but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what is left. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 “Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the slave born in your household and the foreigner living among you may be refreshed.
13 “Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.
The Three Annual Festivals
14 “Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt. “No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
16 “Celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field. “Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.
17 “Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.
18 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast. “The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning.
19 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. “Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

除酵节(15节):在犹太历正月15日至21日,紧接于逾越节之后。百姓在这七天之间要吃无酵饼,借此记念 SHEN 带领他们出埃及的恩典。
收割节(16节):逾越节后第五十日,是庆祝收成并向 SHEN 献上感恩的节期,也称作七七节和五旬节。
收藏节(16节):从犹太历七月(流珥月)15日开始,为期一周,为的是记念秋收和向主献上感恩。

灵/修指南

SHEN 为进入旷野生活的以色列人,制定了安息年和安息日的条例。首先,每七年要让地歇息一年,并要与贫穷人分享出产,使地的主人和弱势群体都确信他们的生命在 SHEN 的手中(10-12节)。接着, SHEN 提到了三个重大的节期:除酵节、收割节和收藏节,这三大节期的排序都是基于农耕的规律(14~17节)。这代表原先作为游牧民族的以色列人,将在 SHEN 所赐的土地上定居并从事农耕。然而,有趣的是, SHEN 在这两件事之间特别告诉百姓:“别 SHEN 的名,你不可提”(13节)。因为随着进入农耕社会,人们一旦从土地获得富足,就会信心软弱,不再单单事奉 SHEN 。于是, SHEN 提前警告 TA 的百姓:务要在富足之时记念 TA 的恩典。盼望我们时常记得 SHEN 的恩典和慈爱,活出忠心爱主的生命。
