旧约 - 创世记(Genesis)第19章

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
创世记第十九章   第 19 章 

  创 19:1> 拥有名和利,使人不愿离开世俗的生活。我,是否也有舍不得的东西? 

  19:1 城门口是城中官员跟百姓讨论重要事情和交易的地方,也是有权势的人聚集的地方。天使在所多玛的城门口看见罗得,显然他在城中有一定的身分和地位,这也许是他舍不得离开所多玛的原因( 19:16 , 18-22 )。 

  创 19:8> 罪能污染神子民的价值观,叫人对恶行麻木。我的心是否有被污染的危险? 

  19:8 父亲怎能只为了保护两个陌生人,而舍得将自己的女儿交给暴民去蹂躏呢?这可能是罗得要救女儿和客人的计谋,他盼望女儿的未婚夫会来救她们,或者希望由于那些同性恋的男人对女子不感兴趣,索性走开。虽然不惜一切去保护客人是当时的习俗,但罗得这可怕的做法,反映出罗得的生命已被罪同化了。在罪恶的城市中,他对恶行已经麻木不仁,不再有任何感觉了。不管罗得的动机如何,我们在这里看到所多玛的可怕恶行,使神不得不将全城毁灭。 

  创 19:13> 罪恶之城的结局,对我所身处的社会有何提醒? 

  19:13 神应许:如果所多玛城有十个义人的话,祂也不毁灭那城( 18:32 )。神差遣天使去毁灭那城,表明那里连十个义人也没有。考古学的证据显示,那地方在亚伯拉罕的时代已经十分先进和文明,大多数研究人员也证实那地方曾突然遭到毁灭。现在,人们普遍认为这城已被埋在死海南端的海底下。所多玛的下场教导我们要信靠神,对付可憎的罪恶。 

  创 19:14> 在别人的眼中,我与神子民的身分相称吗? 

  19:14 罗得在不敬虔的所多玛人中间生活太久,又安逸富足,不能再为神作可信的见证了。他容许环境来塑造自己,而没有尝试去改变环境。认识你的人是看见你为神作见证,还是看见你已经随波逐流了呢?向罪妥协的罗得对神来说几乎没有用了。他最后立定主意对抗罪恶,可是却没有一个人听他的。你是否也被身边的人同化以致神不能再用你呢?不想同流合污,我们就要在信心和行为上与众不同。 

  创 19:16> 为世俗之乐所吸引,就会在向神委身的事上犹疑不决。我要犹疑到几时…… 

  19:16 罗得仍然犹豫不决时,天使就拉着他的手,急急地带他逃离危险之地。罗得舍不得放弃在所多玛所享有的财富、地位和安适的生活。在对错选择很清楚的时候,我们很容易去指责罗得被所多玛迷惑。要避免重蹈罗得的覆辙就需明白,我们对顺服神的犹豫不决往往来自享乐的吸引。 

  创 19:16-29> 最渴望谁得救,就要立即为他代求了…… 

  19:16-29 我们看到神对亚伯拉罕的慈爱,恩及罗得和他一家。因亚伯拉罕为罗得代求,神在毁灭所多玛时,就对罗得施怜悯,拯救了他。义人常常会使别人得到益处。雅各说:“义人祈祷所发的力量是大有功效的。”(雅 5:16 )我们应当效法亚伯拉罕,为别人的得救祷告。 

  创 19:24> 神的宽容与烈怒,让人深爱又敬畏祂。在我心中,神是…… 

  19:24 我们从神毁灭所多玛和蛾摩拉的事上看出神性格的两方面:祂有极大的耐性,祂愿意为那城的十个义人,饶恕恶贯满盈的所多玛城;祂也会大发烈怒,毁灭这两个城市。随着灵命的长进,我们就会因神对罪恶的烈怒,而更敬畏祂;也会因祂忍耐我们所犯的罪过,更深爱祂。 

  创 19:26> 舍不得离开──罗得的妻,是舍不得离开罪,还是──?我,也有什么舍不得放下的? 

  19:26 罗得的妻子回头看那焚烧着的城市,对过去依依不舍,不愿意完全撇下。当你想更亲近神的时候,是否还在回头望,想留在罪中呢?不放弃旧的生命,我们跟神的关系就不会有什么进展。耶稣说:“一个人不能事奉两个主。”(太 6:24 ) 

  创 19:30-38> 失意落泊,还要警醒持守信仰的原则?我可以吗? 

  19:30-38 从所多玛被毁灭的悲惨结局中,我们看到罗得的两个女儿为了使父亲保存血脉,迫不得已出此下策。她们这样做不是出自情欲,而是失意,她们怕终不能出嫁。罗得的妥协和不制止使整件事推至高潮。其实在发生乱伦事件以前,罗得早就应当为两个女儿寻找信仰真神的配偶,亚伯拉罕的一家就离他们不远。他的女儿做出乱伦的勾当,表明她们接受了所多玛的道德标准。我们得不到自己应该得到的东西而感到失意时,往往会犯罪,我们千万要小心! 

  圣经为什么没有公开谴责她们的罪行?很多时候圣经只是报导事件,而没有对人的行为作出评判。但在圣经的其他地方,都清清楚楚地谴责乱伦的罪(参利 18:6-18 ; 20:11-21 ;申 22:30 ; 27:20-23 ;结 22:11 ;林前 5:1 )。或许,这件事的结果使摩押人和亚扪人成为以色列的敌人,就是神对她们罪行的判罚吧。 

  摩押和便亚米是罗得与两个女儿乱伦所生的,他们是摩押人和亚扪人的始祖,后来成为以色列人最大的敌人。这两族住在约旦河东,以色列人不能完全征服他们。由于以色列人跟他们有亲族的关系,神不准摩西攻击他们(参申 2:9 )。耶稣的祖宗、大卫的曾祖母路得就是摩押人。──《灵修版圣经注释》
