W2 2011-11-29 (申27)
經文: 申命記 27:12-13 你們過了約但河，西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、約瑟、便雅憫六個支派的人都要站在基利心山上為百姓祝福。流便、迦得、亞設、西布倫、但、拿弗他利六個支派的人都要站在以巴路山上宣布咒詛。
默想: 以色列人跟隨約書亞走過約但河之後，除了要在約但河畔立起幾塊大石頭，墁上石灰，把耶和華所吩咐的一切律法寫在石頭上面。置放這些石頭的地點，有聖經學者主張，就是在可以看到基利心山與以巴路山的示劍。這裡是亞伯蘭被耶和華帶領，由哈蘭遷入迦南地的第一站，耶和華在此向亞伯蘭顯現，並且賜下應許 (創12:6-7)，亞伯蘭也在此為耶和華築第一座壇，敬拜耶和華。這裡也是雅各在北上逃亡浪跡哈蘭二十年之後，蒙耶和華引導，帶領全家大小返回迦南應許地時，從哈抹購買第一塊地，並在此築壇敬拜耶和華。(創33:19-20) 雅各在此挖了一口井 (約4:12 聖經學者主張敘加就是示劍)。這裡也發生了以色列人為了報復底拿被示劍污辱，而以詐術殘殺示劍全城的人的慘案。這裡也是約瑟骨骸最後安葬支地 (書24:32)。此外，還要把六個支派的人民 (西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、約瑟、便雅憫) 帶到基利心山上，為百姓祝福。另外六個支派的人民 (流便、迦得、亞設、西布倫、但、拿弗他利) 則要站在以巴路山上，宣告咒詛。在此我們看到，蒙神呼召的選民，並非只有從上帝得到祝福，也會從上帝遭受咒詛。如果我們專心侍奉耶和華，遵守他的律例誡命，則會蒙耶和華祝福，如果我們背逆耶和華，偏行己路，則會從耶和華遭受咒詛。求神保守我，一生遵行耶和華的律例誡命典章，不偏行己路，好讓我的一生都蒙神的祝福。
題目: 第六節說：「要用沒有鑿過的石頭築耶和華你神的壇。」這項指示有何用意？對你的提醒是什麼？
27:1 摩西和以色列的眾長老吩咐百姓說：「你們要遵守我今日所吩咐的一切誡命。
Now Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
27:2 你們過約旦河，到了耶和華─你 神所賜給你的地，當天要立起幾塊大石頭，墁上石灰，
And on the day you pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall set up large stones, and plaster them with plaster;
27:3 把這律法的一切話寫在石頭上。你過了河，可以進入耶和華─你 神所賜你流奶與蜜之地，正如耶和華─你列祖之 神所應許你的。
and you shall write upon them all the words of this law, when you pass over to enter the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
27:4 你們過了約旦河，就要在以巴路山上照我今日所吩咐的，將這些石頭立起來，墁上石灰。
And when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, concerning which I command you this day, on Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
27:5 在那裡要為耶和華─你的 神築一座石壇；在石頭上不可動鐵器。
And there you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones; you shall lift up no iron tool upon them.
27:6 要用沒有鑿過的石頭築耶和華─你 神的壇，在壇上要將燔祭獻給耶和華─你的 神。
You shall build an altar to the LORD your God of unhewn stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God;
27:7 又要獻平安祭，且在那裡吃，在耶和華─你的 神面前歡樂。
and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.
27:8 你要將這律法的一切話明明地寫在石頭上。」
And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly."
27:9 摩西和祭司利未人曉諭以色列眾人說：「以色列啊，要默默靜聽。你今日成為耶和華─你 神的百姓了。
And Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, "Keep silence and hear, O Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.
27:10 所以要聽從耶和華─你 神的話，遵行他的誡命律例，就是我今日所吩咐你的。」
You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, keeping his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."
27:11 當日，摩西囑咐百姓說：
And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
27:12 「你們過了約旦河，西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、約瑟、便雅憫六個支派的人都要站在基利心山上為百姓祝福。
"When you have passed over the Jordan, these shall stand upon Mount Ger'izim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Is'sachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
27:13 流便、迦得、亞設、西布倫、但、拿弗他利六個支派的人都要站在以巴路山上宣布咒詛。
And these shall stand upon Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zeb'ulun, Dan, and Naph'tali.
27:14 利未人要向以色列眾人高聲說：
And the Levites shall declare to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
27:15 「『有人製造耶和華所憎惡的偶像，或雕刻，或鑄造，就是工匠手所做的，在暗中設立，那人必受咒詛！』百姓都要答應說：『阿們！』
"`Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, a thing made by the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' And all the people shall answer and say, `Amen.'
27:16 「『輕慢父母的，必受咒詛！』百姓都要說：『阿們！』

27:20 「『與繼母行淫的，必受咒詛！因為掀開他父親的衣襟。』百姓都要說：『阿們！』
"`Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered her who is his father's.' And all the people shall say, `Amen.'

Now Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.

根據出埃及記20:25 節：「你若為我築一座石壇，不可用鑿成的石頭，因你在上頭一動家具，就把壇污穢了」，因此，這個「石頭祭壇」，人不可建造它，更不可用工具來切割過的石頭來建造，否則這樣作，是褻瀆神的。 所以，這個「石頭祭壇」，是一個構造完整的，未被切割過的石頭。同樣地，在申命記 27:5節：「在那裡要為耶和華你的神築一座石壇；在石頭上不可動鐵器」。這種石頭祭壇已在阿拉德（Arad）的考古發掘處和在各個迦南廢墟處被發現。在古近東宗教儀式上，但利23:15-21和出埃及記24:5節,也告訴我們：在猶太人的週節日，必須獻上燔祭和平安祭放在這個完整的，未被切割過的「石頭祭壇」上，用來記念西奈之約的。至於為何「不能用鐵器切割過的石頭來建造」的原因，我們不清楚。但Craigie, P. C. 提到：早期，猶太人沒有好的鐵匠，比須請外邦人的Philistine 鐵匠的手來完成，這樣神聖的祭壇，經由外邦人的手打造而成，來作為聖潔的耶和華和聖潔的上帝的子民，所立的約上，這是是褻瀆神的，上帝所不喜悅的。（Craigie, P. C. (1976). The Book of Deuteronomy. The New International Commentary on the Old Testament (329). Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.）
回覆刪除對我的提醒： 最近在台灣我們看到許多教會聯合，成立全國的禱告網，2011 National Awakening Summit盼望基督徒起來，人人皆是君尊的祭司，過一個聖潔的生活。在家裡設立「禱告祭壇」，謙卑自己，在上帝的大能的手下，不依靠勢力，不依才能。要靠著聖靈方，成為活的祭壇， 為自己，為家庭，為工作場所，為社會， 為國家禱告。但重要的一點是我們人要聖潔，我們的家要聖潔，我們的職場要聖潔，我們的社會要轉化成為聖潔，就像這個用在獻燔祭和平安祭的「石頭祭壇」一樣，必須從不清潔的人手中分別出來，成為聖潔的，才能為主所用，我們的禱告，獻祭， 才能蒙主的悅納。
