Dec 11【每日活水】弃绝偶像,单单事奉 SHEN

 

出埃及记34:10~26

重新立约
出23‧14-19申7‧1-516‧1-17
10  耶/和/华说:「我要立约,要在百姓面前行奇妙的事,是在遍地万国中所未曾行的。在你四围的外邦人就要看见耶/和/华的作为,因我向你所行的是可畏惧的事。
11 「我今天所吩咐你的,你要谨守。我要从你面前撵出亚摩利人、迦南人、人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人。 
12  你要谨慎,不可与你所去那地的居民立约,恐怕成为你们中间的网罗; 
13  却要拆毁他们的祭坛,打碎他们的柱像,砍下他们的木偶。 
14  不可敬/拜别 SHEN ;因为耶/和/华是忌邪的  SHEN ,名为忌邪者。 
15  只怕你与那地的居民立约,百姓随从他们的 SHEN ,就行邪淫,祭祀他们的 SHEN ,有人叫你,你便吃他的祭物, 
16  又为你的儿子娶他们的女儿为妻,他们的女儿随从她们的 SHEN ,就行邪淫,使你的儿子也随从她们的 SHEN 行邪淫。
17 「不可为自己铸造 SHEN
18 「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,因为你是这亚笔月内出了埃及。 
19  凡头生的都是我的;一切牲畜头生的,无论是牛是羊,公的都是我的。 
20  头生的驴要用羊羔代赎,若不代赎就要打折它的颈项。凡头生的儿子都要赎出来。谁也不可空手朝见我。
21 「你六日要做工,第七日要安息,虽在耕种收割的时候也要安息。 
22  在收割初熟麦子的时候要守七七节;又在年底要守收藏节。 
23  你们一切男丁要一年三次朝见主耶/和/华-以色列的  SHEN 。 
24  我要从你面前赶出外邦人,扩张你的境界。你一年三次上去朝见耶/和/华-你  SHEN 的时候,必没有人贪慕你的地土。
25 「你不可将我祭物的血和有酵的饼一同献上。逾越节的祭物也不可留到早晨。 
26  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。」
10  Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 
11  Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 
12  Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 
13  Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles. 
14  Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 
16  And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.
17  “Do not make any idols.
18  “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.
19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 
20  Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
21  “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.
22  “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 
23  Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 
24  I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.
25  “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.
26  “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.”
 

内容观察

1. SHEN 说他要怎么做?(10节)

2. SHEN 吩咐以色列人什么事情?(12~14节)

 

思考与默想

 

3. SHEN 为什么禁止以色列人拜偶像,并说自己是“忌邪的 SHEN ”?
 

个人感受

4. 看到 SHEN 爱以色列人到一个地步,不许他们敬/拜别 SHEN ,又与他们立约,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5. 我何时曾爱世上的人、事、物,胜过爱 SHEN ?

6. 为了弃绝偶像并单单事奉 SHEN ,我决定要怎么做?

忌邪(14节):希伯来原文是“妒忌”,意思是“不容许有对立者”。
除酵节(18节):指逾越节后的七天里只吃无酵饼的节期,为的是记念 SHEN 的救/恩,并立志成为清洁。
要守七七节,又要在年底守收藏节(22节):“七七节”也称“收割节”或“五旬节”,是为了庆祝麦子成熟和收割的节期,为逾越节后第五十天。“收藏节”又叫“住棚节”或“帐棚节”,是在秋天采收葡萄和橄榄后的秋收感恩节。
有酵之物(25节):指放了酵的饼,象征属/灵的败坏。

灵/修指南

SHEN 说他要和以色列人再次立约(10节),并承诺他将保护并带领他们进人应许之地。同时, SHEN 禁止以色列人与迦南地的居民立约(12节),以防落入他们的圈套,去敬/拜偶像。因此, SHEN 明令要求以色列人,要拆毁那地居民的祭坛,打碎他们的偶像(13节)。 SHEN 称自己是“忌邪(妒忌)的 SHEN ”,要求百姓不可敬/拜别 SHEN (14节)。“忌邪(妒忌)者”这个称呼显出 SHEN 至深的爱,如同两人的爱情容不下第三者一样。由此而论, SHEN 的百姓事奉别 SHEN 就是犯下最根本的悖逆之罪。同样地,盼望如今作为 SHEN 子民的我们,也能弃绝各样可能成为偶像的人、事、物,单单敬/拜 SHEN 。
 

内室dao告

愿我明白 SHEN 是忌邪的 SHEN ,弃绝偶像,单单爱 SHEN 、敬/拜 SHEN 。
