Dec 03【每日活水】除去玷污信/仰之物

出埃及记 32:15～29

15 摩西转身下山，手里拿着两块法版。这版是两面写的，这面那面都有字，

16 是　 SHEN 的工作，字是　 SHEN 写的，刻在版上。

17 约书亚一听见百姓呼喊的声音，就对摩西说：「在营里有争战的声音。」

18 摩西说：「这不是人打胜仗的声音，也不是人打败仗的声音；我所听见的乃是人歌唱的声音。」

19 摩西挨近营前就看见牛犊，又看见人跳舞，便发烈怒，把两块版扔在山下摔碎了，

20 又将他们所铸的牛犊用火焚烧，磨得粉碎，撒在水面上，叫以色列人喝。

21 摩西对亚伦说：「这百姓向你做了什么？你竟使他们陷在大罪里！」

22 亚伦说：「求我主不要发烈怒。这百姓专于作恶，是你知道的。

23 他们对我说：『你为我们做 SHEN 像，可以在我们前面引路；因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西，我们不知道他遭了什么事。』

24 我对他们说：『凡有金环的可以摘下来』，他们就给了我。我把金环扔在火中，这牛犊便出来了。」

25 摩西见百姓放肆（亚伦纵容他们，使他们在仇敌中间被讥刺），

26 就站在营门中，说：「凡属耶/和/华的，都要到我这里来！」于是利未的子孙都到他那里聚集。

27 他对他们说：「耶/和/华－以色列的　 SHEN 这样说：『你们各人把刀跨在腰间，在营中往来，从这门到那门，各人杀他的弟兄与同伴并邻舍。』」

28 利未的子孙照摩西的话行了。那一天百姓中被杀的约有三千。

29 摩西说：「今天你们要自洁，归耶/和/华为圣，各人攻击他的儿子和弟兄，使耶/和/华赐福与你们。」。

15 Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.

16 The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.

17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “There is the sound of war in the camp.”

18 Moses replied: “It is not the sound of victory, it is not the sound of defeat; it is the sound of singing that I hear.”

19 When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain.

20 And he took the calf the people had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.

21 He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?”

22 “Do not be angry, my lord,” Aaron answered. “You know how prone these people are to evil.

23 They said to me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.’

24 So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!”

25 Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock to their enemies.

26 So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.

27 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’ ”

28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died.

29 Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”

个人感受

决心与应用

5.我的生命中有哪些事情，正在玷污或稀释我对 SHEN 的信/仰?

6.为了持守信/仰的纯粹，我决定要怎么做?

我把金环扔在火中，这牛犊就出来了(24节):这般不负责任的辩解，显明亚伦是一位不称职的领袖。

凡属耶/和/华的人，都到我这里来(26节):摩西为以色列人中保时，站在他们的那一边。然而，为了维护群体在信/仰上的纯正，他又站到 SHEN 的这一边，表明他既能够带领以色列人，又能够与 SHEN 面对面，是一位合适的领袖。

灵/修指南

摩西带着 SHEN 亲自写的两块法版下山，见到了约书亚(15~17节)。山下传来百姓呼喊的声音，摩西直觉认为这是歌唱的声音(18节)。他走近一看，看见百姓在拜金牛犊，就大发烈怒，将法版摔碎，又将金牛犊用火焚烧并磨成粉，撒在水中叫以色列人喝(19~20节)。之后，摩西向亚伦追问这个事件的来龙去脉，亚伦却没有展现出领袖的担当，而是卑劣地将所有的过错推卸给百姓(22~24节)。于是，摩西呼召属耶/和/华的人站出来，利未人就聚集到他那里。摩西冷静又坚定地咐他们，将刀伸向自己的弟兄、邻舍和亲人(26~28节)。因为以色列人作为与 SHEN 立约的百姓，必须保持对 SHEN 的信/仰，将生命分别为圣。然而，偶像崇拜却会玷污群体。因此，即便牺牲亲人和弟兄，也要严厉且果决地处理，显出事情的严重性。盼望我们也能时常省察，有什么事物侵蚀了我们对 SHEN 的信/仰，并果断地将它们除去。

内室dao告

愿我远离玷污信/仰的种种诱惑，维持信/仰的纯正，单单敬/拜 SHEN 。
