旧约 - 尼希米记(Nehemiah)第7章

After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.
I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do.
I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses."
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive (they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
in company with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Neemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Neum and Baanah): The list of the men of Israel:

The temple servants and the descendants of the servants of Solomon 392
The following came up from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer, but they could not show that their families were descended from Israel:
the descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda 642
And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name).
These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
The governor, therefore, ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there should be a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.
The whole company numbered 42,360,
besides their 7,337 menservants and maidservants; and they also had 245 men and women singers.
There were 736 horses, 245 mules,
435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
Some of the heads of the families contributed to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 drachmas of gold, 50 bowls and 530 garments for priests.
Some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the work 20,000 drachmas of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
The total given by the rest of the people was 20,000 drachmas of gold, 2,000 minas of silver and 67 garments for priests.
The priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers and the temple servants, along with certain of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. When the seventh month came and the Israelites had settled in their towns,
尼希米记第七章   第 7 章 

  尼 7:2> 作领袖的首要条件是什么? 

  7:2 只有忠诚和敬虔的人,才配治理耶路撒冷。他们将神放在首位,深信必能完工。甄选领袖必须以忠信和虔诚作为重要标准;或许其他资格更为吸引人,但只有忠信和虔敬,才能胜过一切试炼。 %5 

  尼 7:3> 派人看守城门一事,反映出尼希米的哪些特质? 

  7:3 城门通常在黎明时分打开,让商人进城搭起帐篷摊档。尼希米为免耶路撒冷在未有准备下受敌人攻击,所以吩咐要等太阳升起来,人们恢复警觉性后,才打开城门。 

  7:3 城墙竣工,但工作尚未结束,尼希米派每户看守自己房屋对面的一段城墙。我们常在完成一件重大的工作后便松懈下来,但我们必须继续事奉神,照料祂所交托的一切。请记住,工作与跟进,二者同样重要。 

  尼 7:5-73> 尼希米统计人口合不合神的心意? 

  7:5-73 尼希米找到了家谱。这家谱与以斯拉所记的相同(参拉 2:1-70 ),因此很可能是以斯拉将家谱收藏在圣殿的档案室内,后来被尼希米发现。 

  尼 7:61> 犹太人为什么那么重视家谱? 

  7:61 家谱对于犹太人非常重要,因为只有家谱才能证明他们是亚伯拉罕的后嗣,也是神的子民(参创 12:1-3 ; 15:1-6 ;出 19:5-6 ;申 11:22-28 )。若遗失了家谱,他们就有可能失去犹太人的身分。 

  尼 7:64-65> “用乌陵和土明决疑的祭司”是指什么? 

  7:64-65 乌陵和土明,是祭司用来明白神旨意的工具(参出 28:30 )。如果有人在家谱中找不到自己的名字,但经过大祭司用乌陵和土明证明他是犹太人并且属利未支派后,他仍可担任祭司。这里的乌陵和土明是新造的,还是耶路撒冷被毁时幸存的,则不得而知。“至圣的物”是指奉献给神的肉,属献祭的一部分,只有真正的祭司才可以吃。──《灵修版圣经注释》
