 全新四年樂活讀經
W5  2011-05-20 (23)
 
 
經文: 出埃及記 23:3 也不可在爭訟的事上偏護窮人。
 
默想: 這一節聖經與我們一般的期待並不一致。在耶和華吩咐摩西的律法當中,對於窮人等弱勢族群總是多一點關懷與照顧。但是,在這裡我們看到的是,在爭訟的事情上面,法官不可以偏護窮人。法官應該是根據證據,做出最公義公平的判決,不可以在證據之外,還受到其他因素的影響,來左右公義的判決。甚至對於弱勢族群的關懷與照顧,也不可以影響法官判決的公正性。
 
題目: 2310-13 對於遵守安息年與安息日的律例為何?所強調的理由為何?你有何看法?
23:1 「不可隨夥佈散謠言;不可與惡人連手妄作見證。
"You shall not utter a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man, to be a malicious witness.
23:2
不可隨眾行惡;不可在爭訟的事上隨眾偏行,作見證屈枉正直;

23:3
也不可在爭訟的事上偏護窮人。
nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his suit.

23:6
「不可在窮人爭訟的事上屈枉正直。

23:8
不可受賄賂;因為賄賂能叫明眼人變瞎了,又能顛倒義人的話。

23:9
「不可欺壓寄居的;因為你們在埃及地作過寄居的,知道寄居的心。」

「六年你要耕種田地,收藏土產,
"For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield;
23:11
只是第七年要叫地歇息,不耕不種,使你民中的窮人有吃的;他們所剩下的,野獸可以吃。你的葡萄園和橄欖園也要照樣辦理。
but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild beasts may eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
23:12
「六日你要做工,第七日要安息,使牛、驢可以歇息,並使你婢女的兒子和寄居的都可以舒暢。
"Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your ass may have rest, and the son of your bondmaid, and the alien, may be refreshed.
23:13
「凡我對你們說的話,你們要謹守。別神的名,你不可題,也不可從你口中傳說。」
Take heed to all that I have said to you; and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let such be heard out of your mouth.
23:14
「一年三次,你要向我守節。
"Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me.

「地裡首先初熟之物要送到耶和華你 神的殿。不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。」
"The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. "You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
23:20
「看哪,我差遣使者在你前面,在路上保護你,領你到我所預備的地方去。
"Behold, I send an angel before you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.
23:21
他是奉我名來的;你們要在他面前謹慎,聽從他的話,不可惹(惹或作:違背)他,因為他必不赦免你們的過犯。
Give heed to him and hearken to his voice, do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him.
23:22
「你若實在聽從他的話,照著我一切所說的去行,我就向你的仇敵作仇敵,向你的敵人作敵人。

23:23

23:24
你不可跪拜他們的神,不可事奉他,也不可效法他們的行為,卻要把神像盡行拆毀,打碎他們的柱像。

23:25
你們要事奉耶和華你們的 神,他必賜福與你的糧與你的水,也必從你們中間除去疾病。
You shall serve the LORD your God, and I will bless your bread and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
23:26
你境內必沒有墜胎的,不生產的。我要使你滿了你年日的數目。
None shall cast her young or be barren in your land; I will fulfil the number of your days.
23:27
凡你所到的地方,我要使那裡的眾民在你面前驚駭,擾亂,又要使你一切仇敵轉背逃跑。
I will send my terror before you, and will throw into confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
23:28
我要打發黃蜂飛在你前面,把希未人、迦南人、赫人攆出去。
And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out Hivite, Canaanite, and Hittite from before you.
23:29
我不在一年之內將他們從你面前攆出去,恐怕地成為荒涼,野地的獸多起來害你。

23:32
