旧约 - 出埃及记(Exodus)第19章

In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
出埃及记第十九章   第 19 章 

  以色列人来到西奈山 

  出 19:2-3> 在西奈山上,发生过哪些重大事情? 

  19:2-3 西奈山(何烈山),是以色列历史上最神圣的地区之一,位于西奈半岛的中南部。摩西在这个山的荆棘火焰中遇见神,神在这里与以色列人立约,以利亚在这里听见神微小的声音,神也在此将律法和圣洁生活的原则赐给祂的百姓。他们知道了顺服神则会蒙福( 34:4-28 ),不顺服则会陷入悲惨的境地( 34:7 )。 

  出 19:4-6> 我听从神的话、遵守神的约没有?我是圣洁的国民吗? 

  19:4-6 神告诉以色列民,拯救他们脱离为奴之地,是要他们成为祭司的国度、圣洁的子民,人人可坦然无惧地来到祂面前。但是不久百姓就败坏了神的计划。于是神从利未支派之中,拣选亚伦的后裔为祭司,以代表全民族(参利 8:1-9:24 )。因着基督耶稣降世,神的计划再一次涵括到所有的基督徒。我们同是圣洁的“君尊的祭司“(参彼前 2:9 )。基督的受死与复活,让人人都可以坦然来到神面前。 

  出 19:5> 神为什么拣选以色列人作为祂的子民? 

  19:5 神知道地上没有一族配称为祂的子民──祂的“宝贵产业”。祂拣选他们,并不是因为百姓做了什么大事,而是因祂的慈爱与怜悯。祂拣选以色列人,并不计较他们过去与将来的罪过。祂为什么要在地上有特别属祂的子民?神要透过他们,表明祂所定的生活方式,并使用他们,把祂的道教导世人,成为普世得救的凭藉。神曾应许“地上万族”必因亚伯拉罕的后裔而蒙福(参创 18:18 )。以赛亚先知预言,外邦人和君王,都要藉着以色列人来到主面前(参赛 60:3 )。神的爱子──弥赛亚的肉身,也将要藉以色列族而降生。神拣选一个民族,严格训练他们,乃为使他们成为普世蒙福的器皿。 

  出 19:5-8> 你曾否对神作出承诺?你要如何贯彻始终? 

  19:5-8 神在创世记中与亚伯拉罕立约,应许使他的后裔成为大国(参创 15:5-21 ; 17:1-27 )。现在与他的子孙以色列人重申那约的时候,过去的应许已经部分实现了。神应许要赐福给他们,眷顾他们;他们应允顺服神,双方的约就此定立。可惜百姓良善的决心不久就消失了。 

  出 19:9-11> 百姓听从神吩咐,洁净身心迎见神──今日我们朝拜好像都忘了预备己心…… 

  19:9-11 神吩咐摩西叫百姓自洁,就是叫他们在肉体和灵性上都作好准备,预备迎见神。百姓要在日常生活中远离罪,才能将自己献给神。洗净衣服,使自己成为圣洁的,就是把心思意念准备好。我们朝拜神,迎见祂的时候,应当将忧虑与杂务抛开。把你装扮身上的时间,用来预备自己的心,以便迎见神吧。 

  19:22 神说:“祂会忽然出来击杀他们”,是指祂要消灭那些未曾自洁、没有准备好迎见祂的人。──《灵修版圣经注释》
