旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第29章

Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.
Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
历代志下第廿九章   第 29 章 

  圣经所记载的伟大宗教复兴 

  代下 29:1> 29:1 希西家的事迹见列王纪下 18 章。 

  代下 29:11> 我若曾经失去事奉的动力,可以重新肩负责任吗?可以怎样做? 

  29:11 神所拣选、在圣殿中事奉的利未人,因亚哈斯的恶行( 28:24 )已难再供职。但是希西家吩咐他们重新事奉,提醒说是耶和华拣选他们事奉的。 

  我们虽不至于面对像亚哈斯那样的昏君,但是压力或责任会使事奉变得闲懒、失去动力。你事奉的职位是神赐的,不要忽略你的责任。如果你在事奉中表现懒散,不管是存心退后或是环境所迫,你都要寻找机会重新再来。神会赐你方法,使你再负起责任。这时,你就要像利未人一样地随时候命( 29:12-15 )。 

  代下 29:21> 希西家为什么要献祭?他所献的祭有何含意?我今天在神面前最需要献上的祭又是什么? 

  29:21 在旧约中,献祭是神指定、使人藉此可以亲近神、与祂和好的方法。希西家所献上的赎罪祭,是人因为无意犯了罪而要献上,好求神赦免的一种祭。(对于神规定人要献祭的原因,以及祭物当怎样献上,请参利未记 1 章的注释)。 

  代下 29:22> 祭坛上的血预表了什么?这种在数千年前的宗教礼仪,与我今天有何关系? 

  29:22 洒在祭坛上的血,代表无罪的祭牲代替献祭者的罪。祭牲死了,使献祭的罪人得以存活。直到神完全圣洁的儿子耶稣基督降世为人,在十字架上舍去祂无罪的生命,使犯罪作恶的人类得免罪的刑罚时,这种礼仪才完成了历史使命(参来 10:1-4 )。 

  代下 29:30> 当时神的话语是用什么途径传递给百姓的? 

  29:30 先见是藉着异象或异梦得到从神而来的信息,并把它对以色列人或外邦人传讲出来的人。 

  代下 29:31> 会众所献的感谢祭有何特色?若我今天要感谢神,我又会用什么方式去表达? 

  29:31 感谢祭是平安祭的一种(参利 7:12-15 ),是人对神表示恩感。作为平安祭,它又象征与神和好并恢复交往。──《灵修版圣经注释》
