Dec 21【每日活水】彰显 SHEN 的荣耀胜过彰显自己

 

出埃及记38:1~20

造燔祭坛
出27‧1-8
1 他用皂荚木做燔祭坛,是四方的,长五肘,宽五肘,高三肘, 
2 在坛的四拐角上做四个角,与坛接连一块,用铜把坛包裹。 
3 他做坛上的盆、铲子、盘子、肉锸子、火鼎;这一切器具都是用铜做的。 
4 又为坛做一个铜网,安在坛四面的围腰板以下,从下达到坛的半腰。 
5 为铜网的四角铸四个环子,作为穿杠的用处。 
6 用皂荚木做杠,用铜包裹, 7把杠穿在坛两旁的环子内,用以抬坛,并用板做坛;坛是空的。
造铜盆
出30‧18
8 他用铜做洗濯盆和盆座,是用会幕门前伺候的妇人之镜子做的。
耶/和/华会幕的周围
出27‧9-19
9 他做帐幕的院子。院子的南面用捻的细麻做帷子,一百肘。 
10 帷子的柱子二十根,带卯的铜座二十个;柱子上的钩子和杆子都是用银子做的。 
11 北面也有帷子一百肘。帷子的柱子二十根,带卯的铜座二十个;柱子上的钩子和杆子都是用银子做的。 
12 院子的西面有帷子,五十肘。帷子的柱子十根,带卯的座十个;柱子的钩子和杆子都是用银子做的。 
13 院子的东面,五十肘。 
14-15 门这边的帷子十五肘,那边也是一样。帷子的柱子三根,带卯的座三个。在门的左右各有帷子十五肘,帷子的柱子三根,带卯的座三个。 
16 院子四面的帷子都是用捻的细麻做的。 
17 柱子带卯的座是铜的,柱子上的钩子和杆子是银的,柱顶是用银子包的。院子一切的柱子都是用银杆连络的。 
18 院子的门帘是以绣花的手工,用蓝色、紫色、朱红色线,和捻的细麻织的,宽二十肘,高五肘,与院子的帷子相配。 
19 帷子的柱子四根,带卯的铜座四个;柱子上的钩子和杆子是银的;柱顶是用银子包的。 
20 帐幕一切的橛子和院子四围的橛子都是铜的。
The Altar of Burnt Offering
1 They built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide. 
2 They made a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar were of one piece, and they overlaid the altar with bronze. 
3 They made all its utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. 
4 They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. 
5 They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating. 
6 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 
7 They inserted the poles into the rings so they would be on the sides of the altar for carrying it. They made it hollow, out of boards.
The Basin for Washing
8 They made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
The Courtyard
9 Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely twisted linen, 
10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 
11 The north side was also a hundred cubits long and had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
12 The west end was fifty cubits wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 
13 The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide. 
14 Curtains fifteen cubits long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, 
15 and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases. 
16 All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 
17 The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver; so all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.
18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high, 
19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. 
20 All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

灵/修指南

燔祭坛和洗濯盆不同于圣殿中的其他器具,它们都是用铜制成的(2,8节)。燔坛用铜制作,是为了承受祭物焚烧时的高温,洗盆则是用在会幕门前事奉的妇人的铜镜做的(8节)。铜在经过打后反射效果好,所以常用来作镜子。对于当时的妇女来说,铜镜堪称贵重金属。然而,在会幕门前事奉的妇人们却甘愿放弃追求美貌,将铜镜献给 SHEN ,用来制作洁净祭司的洗濯盆。可见她们追求 SHEN 的荣耀超过自己的荣耀,这是何等宝贵的献上。这些妇人告诉我们,在生活中应当以 SHEN 的事为念。盼望我们效法她们的榜样,追求彰显 SHEN 的荣耀胜过自己,成为谦卑服事主的MEN TU。
 

内室dao告

愿我全然服事主,将手中最好的献上,活出彰显 TA 荣耀的生活。
