旧约 - 利未记(Leviticus)第20章

The LORD said to Moses,
"Say to the Israelites: 'Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him.
I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people; for by giving his children to Molech, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name.
If the people of the community close their eyes when that man gives one of his children to Molech and they fail to put him to death,
I will set my face against that man and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molech.
"'I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people.
"'Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.
Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
"'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.
"'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
"'If a man sleeps with his father's wife, he has dishonored his father. Both the man and the woman must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
"'If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood will be on their own heads.
"'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
"'If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is wicked. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that no wickedness will be among you.
"'If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
"'If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
"'If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his father or his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off before the eyes of their people. He has dishonored his sister and will be held responsible.
"'If a man lies with a woman during her monthly period and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has also uncovered it. Both of them must be cut off from their people.
"'Do not have sexual relations with the sister of either your mother or your father, for that would dishonor a close relative; both of you would be held responsible.
"'If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will be held responsible; they will die childless.
"'If a man marries his brother's wife, it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless.
"'Keep all my decrees and laws and follow them, so that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out.
You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
But I said to you, "You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the nations.
"'You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between unclean and clean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that moves along the ground--those which I have set apart as unclean for you.
You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.
"'A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.'"
利未记第二十章   第 20 章 

  利 20:1-3> 献祭该是爱的表达,不应是野蛮的行径── 

  20:1-3 将儿女献给假神为祭,是古代异教的重要习俗。以色列的邻国亚扪人,将儿女献给民族的神摩洛,作为宗教中的要事,以为是献上的最大礼物,可藉此辟邪或安抚愤怒之神。神对这事讲得很清楚,这是可憎的事,应严格地禁止。无论在旧约或新约时代,神的本性都显明祂绝不愿意献人为祭,因为( 1 )祂不是异教的假神,乃是慈爱的真神,不需要以人为祭物来安抚(参出 34:6 )。( 2 )祂是赐生命的神,既禁止杀人,又鼓励人谨守祂的律法,过健康幸福的生活(参申 30:15-16 )。( 3 )祂是无助者的神,对孩童显出特别的关怀(参诗 72:4 , 13 )。( 4 )祂是无私的神,不但不要人流血,更为世人舍弃祂的性命(参赛 53:4-5 )。 

  利 20:6> 人对不可知的未来总是有点忧虑,你又对未来…… 

  20:6 人人都关心未来,并常寻求别人的指点。但是神警告世人,不要求助于古灵精怪的玄秘之术。交鬼的与行巫术的都应当铲除,因为他们的信息不是来自神,不但预测是虚假的,不可信的,而且与邪灵相交亦极其危险。对于未来,我们不需要求问行邪术的人。神赐下圣经,我们可以从中得到要知道的一切,圣经的指引才是绝对可靠的。 

  利 20:10-21> 性可以是爱的表达,也同样可以摧毁爱,不是吗? 

  20:10-21 经文列出一系列处置性犯罪的命令,刑罚极严厉。神为什么不能容忍这些罪行?其理由是:( 1 )破坏了已婚夫妇彼此的委身;( 2 )破坏了家庭的神圣;( 3 )扭曲了心灵的健康;( 4 )使性病传染蔓延。性犯罪在全球各地泛滥,同居者之间的性关系,越来越公开化、合法化。社会上将性犯罪描绘成具吸引力的事,使人容易忘记它背后的悲剧和可怕。神禁止人类性犯罪,是因为祂爱我们,为我们最大的好处着想。 

  利 20:10-21> 现今性滥交情况严重,对你带来了什么冲击? 

  20:10-21 经文列出许多可憎的罪行,在迦南异教各族之中非常普遍。他们的宗教充斥了性爱女神、庙妓与其他严重罪行。迦南人不道德的宗教礼仪,反映出颓废的习俗,想败坏所有接触它的人。神要建立一个民族,对世界有正面的影响,成为世俗强烈的对比。祂不许以色列人效法迦南人的习俗而陷于淫荡,所以清楚吩咐人远离性的犯罪,好在应许之地蒙保守。 

  利 20:22-23> 你相信神所颁布的诫命都是为了你的益处吗? 

  20:22-23 神颁给以色列人的每项律例都有其道理。祂并没有将好处留下不赐给他们,祂只是不准他们有招致败坏的行为。我们知道神为自然界定下了物理规律,例如从高楼跳下会摔死,因为地心有吸力;但是有些人不明白神属灵的定律如何运行,祂不准我们做某些事,是因为祂不愿人自我毁灭。当你被吸引,想享受物质上或精神上的欢乐时,如果涉及神所禁止的事,就要切记后果:它会令你受苦,使你跟帮助你的神隔绝。──《灵修版圣经注释》
