旧约 - 耶利米书(Jeremiah)第40章

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.
And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
耶利米书第四十章   第 40 章 

  耶 40-45 章 > 40-45 章 这六章经文纪载了耶路撒冷沦陷之后发生的事情。 

  耶 40:2-3> 认识宇宙的伟大,亲见神奇妙的作为,下一步该要面对的是什么? 

  40:2-3 巴比伦护卫长虽然不认识神,但他承认巴比伦的胜利乃神所赐。有人承认神的存在,知道祂施行神迹,却不愿亲自接受祂、认识祂,这实在很奇怪。认识神不只是晓得有关祂的事,而是要与祂亲自接触,建立关系。 

  耶 40:4> 耶利米选择留在犹大,意味着他将会放弃什么?他又将要承受什么? 

  40:4 耶利米可以随意选择自己的住处。在巴比伦,他可享受安适的生活,拥有一定的权势;在犹大却要继续受苦受难。他在巴比伦可能得到巴比伦人爱戴,但会受流亡的同胞唾弃;在犹大意味着要过贫穷孤单的生活,却可以表明自己并不是苟且偷安的卖国贼。最后耶利米还是选择回犹大。 

  耶 40:6> 米斯巴在什么地方?为什么耶利米选择留在那里? 

  40: 6 米 斯巴位于耶路撒冷以北数公里外,此地在战争中没有遭到严重破坏,所以耶路撒冷沦陷后,不少人来这里避难。 

  耶 40:13-41:3> 经历亡国之痛的犹大,仍有不少人沉醉在权力斗争之中,让人叹息…… 

  40:13-41:3 基大利获巴比伦王委任为犹大总督,而本属大卫支派的以实玛利却没有领导权,使他怀恨在心,动了杀机。基大利对自己会遭暗杀的消息掉以轻心,不肯相信。这种政局动荡的情况,与以斯拉及尼希米重建城墙及圣殿时的情况十分相似。──《灵修版圣经注释》
