Nov 13【每日活水】注重内在生命的美丽与圣洁

 

出埃及记26:1~14

会幕
出36‧8-38
1「你要用十幅幔子做帐幕。这些幔子要用捻的细麻和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线制造,并用巧匠的手工绣上基路伯。 
每幅幔子要长二十八肘,宽四肘,幔子都要一样的尺寸。 
这五幅幔子要幅幅相连;那五幅幔子也要幅幅相连。 
在这相连的幔子末幅边上要做蓝色的钮扣;在那相连的幔子末幅边上也要照样做。 
要在这相连的幔子上做五十个钮扣;在那相连的幔子上也做五十个钮扣,都要两两相对。 
又要做五十个金钩,用钩使幔子相连,这才成了一个帐幕。
7「你要用山羊织十一幅幔子,作为帐幕以上的罩棚。 
每幅幔子要长三十肘,宽四肘;十一幅幔子都要一样的尺寸。 
要把五幅幔子连成一幅,又把六幅幔子连成一幅,这第六幅幔子要在罩棚的前面折上去。 
10  在这相连的幔子末幅边上要做五十个钮扣;在那相连的幔子末幅边上也做五十个钮扣。 
11  又要做五十个铜钩,钩在钮扣中,使罩棚连成一个。 
12  罩棚的幔子所余那垂下来的半幅幔子,要垂在帐幕的后头。 
13  罩棚的幔子所余长的,这边一肘,那边一肘,要垂在帐幕的两旁,遮盖帐幕。 
14  又要用染红的公羊皮做罩棚的盖;再用海狗皮做一层罩棚上的顶盖。
The Tabernacle
“Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker. 
All the curtains are to be the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide. 
Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five. 
Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set. 
Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 
Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.
“Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 
All eleven curtains are to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. 
Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent. 
10  Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 
11  Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit. 
12  As for the additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle. 
13  The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it. 
14  Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.
 

内容观察

1.帐幕的最里面那层幔子要如何制作?(1节)

2.第二层到第四层的罩棚,要用什么材料制作?(7,14节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.为什么要特别用华美的有色纱来织成帐幕内层的幔子?
 

个人感受

4.看到帐幕最内层的幔子是如此细致精美,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾忽略内在生命的圣洁及美丽,以致追求外在的信/仰行为,属/灵生命却停滞不前?

6.为了突破这个光景,我决定要怎么做?

帐幕(1节):指隔出圣所空间、由布幔组成的大帐棚。
钮环(5节):即圆环,环与环之间用金钩相连。
精美皮料(14节):可能是水牛皮、海豚皮或鲨鱼皮(和合本译为海狗皮),但尚未能够定。

灵/修指南

今天的经/文提到帐幕四层罩棚的制作样式。首先,最里面的一层幔子要用搓的细麻和蓝色、紫色、朱红色纱织成,并以刺绣的手艺绣上基路伯(1-6节)。第二层罩棚要用山羊毛(7-13节),第三和第四层则要用公羊皮和精美皮料制成(14节)。这四层罩棚的遮挡,能确保帐幕不被旷野的风沙损害。帐幕最里面一层的幔子上绣着基路伯,以致每当祭司看到时都能直接想到 SHEN 的保护,这也象征 SHEN 的百姓活在 SHEN 坚固且强大的保护之下。帐幕外层的罩棚是用动物的皮革制成,内层的罩棚则是用华丽的丝线和美丽的刺绣制成,整体非常华美,功能也很精良。 SHEN 的百姓不应注重外在的虚饰,却忽视了内在该有的美丽和圣洁。盼望我们不追求外在的表面功夫,而是天天更新内在的生命,使信心更为坚实、活泼,与 SHEN 的关系也更为亲密。
 

内室dao告

愿我放下形式化的信/仰生活,时刻更新内在的生命,活出坚实的信心与圣洁。
