申命记4:32~40
32-33「你且考察在你以前的世代,自 神造人在世以来,从天这边到天那边,曾有何民听见 神在火中说话的声音,像你听见还能存活呢?这样的大事何曾有、何曾听见呢?
34 神何曾从别的国中将一国的人民领出来,用试验、神迹、奇事、争战、大能的手,和伸出来的膀臂,并大可畏的事,像耶和华-你们的 神在埃及,在你们眼前为你们所行的一切事呢?
35这是显给你看,要使你知道,惟有耶和华-他是 神,除他以外,再无别神。
36他从天上使你听见他的声音,为要教训你,又在地上使你看见他的烈火,并且听见他从火中所说的话。
37因他爱你的列祖,所以拣选他们的后裔,用大能亲自领你出了埃及,
38要将比你强大的国民从你面前赶出,领你进去,将他们的地赐你为业,像今日一样。
39所以,今日你要知道,也要记在心上,天上地下惟有耶和华他是 神,除他以外,再无别神。
40我今日将他的律例诫命晓谕你,你要遵守,使你和你的子孙可以得福,并使你的日子在耶和华-你 神所赐的地上得以长久。」
The Lord Is God
32Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?
33Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?
34Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.
36From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire.
37Because he loved your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,
38to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.
39Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.
40Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.
内容观察
1.摩西如何介绍神?(33~34节)
2.摩西说,自己这样介绍神的目的为何?(35,39~40节)
思考与默想
个人感受
决心与应用
5.你认为自己的信仰会对别人产生什么影响?若要将信仰延续到后代, 你认为可以从现在开始做些什么?
耶和华–你们的神(34节):原文中这词之前加了定冠词,为要强调神是众神中惟一的那位。当时有很多外邦神是人手所造的,摩西借此向以色列百姓宣告,惟一的真神只有耶和华。
