圣经出埃及记第38章讲解|原文_出埃及记全文阅读

旧约 - 出埃及记（Exodus）第38章

They built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.

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.

They made all its utensils of bronze--its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans.

They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar.

They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating.

They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

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.

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.

Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely twisted linen,

with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

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.

The west end was fifty cubits wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide.

Curtains fifteen cubits long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases,

and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases.

All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen.

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.

The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was 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,

with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver.

All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

These are the amounts of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the Testimony, which were recorded at Moses' command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.

(Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the LORD commanded Moses;

with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan--a craftsman and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.)

The total amount of the gold from the wave offering used for all the work on the sanctuary was 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

The silver obtained from those of the community who were counted in the census was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel--

one beka per person, that is, half a shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone who had crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more, a total of 603,550 men.

The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the bases for the sanctuary and for the curtain--100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent for each base.

They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make their bands.

The bronze from the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.

They used it to make the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all its utensils,

the bases for the surrounding courtyard and those for its entrance and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and those for the surrounding courtyard.

出埃及记第卅八章　　第 38 章　

　　会幕器物　

　　出 38:21> 建造会幕，各人照分工所行──万事互相效力，但有时我总觉得自己帮不上忙……　

　　38:21　摩西布署建造会幕的程序，由以他玛督导这项工程。我们各人的才能不同，神并没有叫摩西建造会幕，只要他挑选有技能之人去做。你要察看神所赐给你的特长，并且寻求机会，让祂使用你的才能。──《灵修版圣经注释》　

出埃及记第卅八章　　三十八 1. 　燔祭坛。本段用这个（前面所无的）名称来分别祭坛和香坛，是因为经文刚刚提到过香坛（出三十七 25 ）。　

　　8. 　用会幕 31 门前伺候的妇人之镜子作。制造洗濯盆所用之铜的来源，本节提供了新资料。男人若献臂环（出三十五 22 ，和合本作“手钏”），女人献的便是镜子了（昔时全用磨光的金属造成）。译作伺候的动词罕见而有意思，圣经只有另一处地方用这字形容妇女在圣所事奉（撒上二 22 ）。字眼的含义其实是“组织成作战队伍”，但也可以形容普通利未人的事奉（民四 23 等）。因此它大概表示圣所某种事奉的组织，或作清洁、或作打扫（若然，这便是后世妇女协会的滥觞），或在节期庆典中唱歌跳舞（如出十五 20 的米利暗）。另一个可能，则是基于经文提到门前，显示他们担任守门的卑微工作（诗八十四 10 ）。有人根据撒母耳记上二章 22 节，认为本节的妇人指的是迦南（奉献给圣所的）“庙女”。然而这种不道德行为在以色列是严禁的，撒母耳记指出，以利的两个儿子将耶和华的婢女当作属巴力的女子看待，藉以强调他们罪孽重大。这些伺候的妇人若是有如巴力崇拜所用的庙妓，以利二子的行径便不足为奇了。不烦絮言：崇拜耶和华和拜祭巴力在外表上都同样可以奉献于圣所事奉，但两者的性质却判若云泥（赛五十五 8 、 9 ）。详细讨论请参看海厄特。　

　　三十八 21 ～ 31. 　统计和花费　

　　21. 　利未人所用，利未人受任的经过记载在民数记三章。以他玛在该处经文也是担任首领之职（其实他在出六 23 经已出现了）。　

　　24. 　一切工作使用……的金子。数目以整数列出，贵重金属全都数以吨计（金一吨、银四吨、铜三吨）。但古卷中的数字可能亦保存得并不正确。　

　　25. 　会中被数的人所出的银子，银子的总数（极高）是民数记一章所列以色列成人数目，乘以每人必须缴交半舍客勒“赎价”（出三十 13 ）的积数。银子不算是自愿的捐献，这是银子比铜多得反常的理由。关于“圣所舍客勒”的讨论，可参看三十章 13 节的注释。这里的记载很有意思，显出早期统一度量衡的尝试。现代以色列发掘到好几个　beqa` “比加”，即半舍客勒的样品（确实重量可参看德莱维）。 ──《丁道尔圣经注释》
