旧约 - 申命记(Deuteronomy)第14章

You are the children of the LORD your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave the front of your heads for the dead,
for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the LORD has chosen you to be his treasured possession.
Do not eat any detestable thing.
These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep.
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the coney. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a split hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.
The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.
Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that has fins and scales.
But anything that does not have fins and scales you may not eat; for you it is unclean.
You may eat any clean bird.
But these you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,
the red kite, the black kite, any kind of falcon,
any kind of raven,
the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.
All flying insects that swarm are unclean to you; do not eat them.
But any winged creature that is clean you may eat.
Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to an alien living in any of your towns, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. But you are a people holy to the LORD your God. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.
Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always.
But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away),
then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice.
And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year's produce and store it in your towns,
so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
申命记第十四章   第 14 章 

  申 14:1> 这里所讲难道是敬拜死人?我们的信仰可不会这样的── 

  14:1 这一节经文所讲的行为是指敬拜死人。许多宗教有敬拜或祭祀死人的习俗。基督教与犹太教和其他宗教有别,都注重人在今生活着事奉神。别因挂虑死者而分心,影响了今生的事奉。 

  申 14:3-21> 神为什么不许以色列人吃这些动物?对我们生活的启示是── 

  14:3-21 神不准以色列人吃某些食物有几个原因:( 1 )有些食肉的动物会吃别种动物的血,而食腐尸类的动物会吃死去的兽肉。由于以色列人不可以吃血,也不可吃自死的动物,所以他们也不该吃那些吃血和死尸的动物。( 2 )神禁止他们吃的某些动物,如蝙蝠、蛇、与蜘蛛,跟某些异教邪恶的风俗有关(参赛 66:17 )。对以色列人来说,不洁净的动物代表罪恶和恶习。( 3 )有些限制可能是神要叫他们不断牢记,他们与万民有别,是被分别出来专门归与神的。我们现在虽然毋须谨守这些饮食的条例(参徒 10:9-16 ),却能从中学到功课,使我们全面追求圣洁;圣洁不仅局限在灵性方面,也须融入生活,使我们活出圣洁的人生。 

  申 14:21> 不可用山羊的奶煮山羊羔,是出于什么原因? 

  14:21 神不准人用山羊的奶来煮山羊羔,这使人想起迦南人为了使人畜多产所行的种种不当的礼仪。神不准人使用本来是喂养生命的东西,反过来杀害生命。(也提到这条命令出 23:19 也提到这条命令) 

  申 14:22-23> 你作十一奉献没有?是有了收入后即刻奉献,还是拖到最后? 

  14:22-23 圣经将十一奉献的目的讲得很清楚──将神放在我们生活的首位。要将所获得的第一份收获,也是最好的归与神,这表明我们对祂的敬爱。即时献上最好的,你就能全心全意地信靠祂。我们要牢记,自己的一切全属于祂,养成十一奉献的习惯,就是把神放在首位,且让祂为你安排其他的一切。 

  申 14:28-29> 你和你的教会在帮助穷乏者方面有哪些具体措施? 

  14:28-29 在社区中设立眷顾穷人的制度,圣经早有明文。神吩咐祂的子民,每三年要将当年收获的十分之一用来帮助无倚无靠、饥饿贫穷的人。这些条例可以防止全地陷入贫穷的深渊,也防止富人欺压穷人。眷顾比自己弱小的人,乃是每个人的责任;家族的成员应当同舟共济,义助族中的穷人,社区则要帮助住在区内的人。国家的法律固然要保护穷人的权益,而帮助穷人也是敬虔生活的积极部分。基督徒当负起供应穷人的责任,要使用神所赐的财物去帮助不幸之人。你要慷慨施舍,帮助贫困的人,如此可叫你尊重神是创造万民的主宰,使别人也同得祂的恩惠,吸引人归向祂。藉此,信心才能在日常生活中体现出来。──《灵修版圣经注释》
