全新四年樂活讀經
經文: 申命記 34:6 耶和華將他埋葬在摩押地、伯毗珥對面的谷中,只是到今日沒有人知道他的墳墓。
默想: 摩西一生盡忠侍奉耶和華,而且被耶和華稱作朋友。但是,摩西還是一位蒙恩的罪人。他被聖經稱讚為人極其謙和,超過世上眾人 (民12:3)。但是,他的好脾氣,在年老時,也被那群吵鬧不休的以色列會眾給激怒了,在米利巴水事件中,沒有完全遵照耶和華的命令行事,沒有尊耶和華為聖。拿起手中的杖,敲擊磐石才兩下。如此,就讓耶和華決定他無法親腳踏進耶和華應許迦南美地的審判。真是為山九仞、功虧一簣,一失足成千古恨,再回頭已百年身。出師未捷身先死,常使英雄淚滿襟。但是公義審判的耶和華,也是慈悲滿懷的耶和華。耶和華還是摩西最要好的朋友。耶和華親自帶領摩西爬上尼波山,登上最高的毗斯迦山頂,耶利哥城就在約但河的對面,清晰可見。耶和華親手將迦南地的全景指給摩西看。從基列全地直到但,拿弗他利全地,以法蓮、瑪拿西的地,猶大全地直到西海,南地和棕樹城耶利哥的平原,直到瑣珥,都指給他看。(申34:1-3) 讓摩西親眼看到耶和華向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所應許的迦南地,的確是流奶與蜜之地。耶和華是信實守約施慈愛的神。然後,摩西的安然閤眼閉目,與世長辭了。耶和華親自將摩西的遺體安葬在伯毗珥對面的谷中,一個沒有人知道的地方。到了主耶穌登上高山,向三位門徒顯出他的榮耀本像時,聖經說摩西與以利亞出現,與耶穌談論他要為救贖世人而受苦去世的事。耶和華是多麼的慈悲來款待摩西啊!神啊!求你也用你的慈悲來款待我。
題目: 34:4「耶和華對他說:這就是我向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許之地,說:我必將這地賜給你的後裔。現在我使你眼睛看見了,你卻不得過到那裡去。」,這是上帝對勞苦功高的摩西最後之語,你有何想法與感受?
34:1 摩西從摩押平原登尼波山,上了那與耶利哥相對的毘斯迦山頂。耶和華把基列全地直到但,
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan,
34:2 拿弗他利全地,以法蓮、瑪拿西的地,猶大全地直到西海,
all Naph'tali, the land of E'phraim and Manas'seh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,
34:3 南地和棕樹城耶利哥的平原,直到瑣珥,都指給他看。
the Negeb, and the Plain, that is, the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, as far as Zo'ar.
34:4 耶和華對他說:「這就是我向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許之地,說:『我必將這地賜給你的後裔。』現在我使你眼睛看見了,你卻不得過到那裡去。」
And the LORD said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, `I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there."
34:5 於是,耶和華的僕人摩西死在摩押地,正如耶和華所說的。
So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD,
34:6 耶和華將他埋葬在摩押地、伯•毗珥對面的谷中,只是到今日沒有人知道他的墳墓。
and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-pe'or; but no man knows the place of his burial to this day.
34:7 摩西死的時候年一百二十歲;眼目沒有昏花,精神沒有衰敗。
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
34:8 以色列人在摩押平原為摩西哀哭了三十日,為摩西居喪哀哭的日子就滿了。
And the people of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
34:9 嫩的兒子約書亞;因為摩西曾按手在他頭上,就被智慧的靈充滿,以色列人便聽從他,照著耶和華吩咐摩西的行了。
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him; so the people of Israel obeyed him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
34:10 以後以色列中再沒有興起先知像摩西的。他是耶和華面對面所認識的。
And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
34:11 耶和華打發他在埃及地向法老和他的一切臣僕,並他的全地,行各樣神蹟奇事,
none like him for all the signs and the wonders which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land,
34:12 又在以色列眾人眼前顯大能的手,行一切大而可畏的事。
and for all the mighty power and all the great and terrible deeds which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan,
34:2 拿弗他利全地,以法蓮、瑪拿西的地,猶大全地直到西海,
all Naph'tali, the land of E'phraim and Manas'seh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,
34:3 南地和棕樹城耶利哥的平原,直到瑣珥,都指給他看。
the Negeb, and the Plain, that is, the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, as far as Zo'ar.
34:4 耶和華對他說:「這就是我向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許之地,說:『我必將這地賜給你的後裔。』現在我使你眼睛看見了,你卻不得過到那裡去。」

耶和華是一位守約、行公義審判的神,祂也是一位永不改變、信實、施慈愛、好憐憫的上帝。想想摩西不能渡約但河進迦南, 不能領會眾進入應許之地的可能原因:
回覆刪除1)摩西沒有聽從耶和華的吩咐,擅自作主,不信祂,想要把以色列人埋怨上帝,爭鬧的責任推到以色列人身上。當以色列全會眾到了尋的曠野,就住在加低斯, 會眾沒有水喝, 百姓向摩西爭鬧的時候,在以色列全會眾前吩咐磐石發出水來;反倒憑血氣地對背叛的人說:「你們要我們使水從這磐石中流出來嗎?」("Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?")。(民 20:12)
2) 摩西違背了耶和華的命令,沒有在湧水之地、在以色列人眼前尊耶和華為聖。(民數記 27:14)
求主幫助我們,求你也用你的慈悲來款待我。在眾人眼前尊上帝為聖、聽從上帝的吩咐、相信上帝、遵行上帝的命令、學習勇敢面對困難、負起責任,去做當作的事,靠著主所賜給沒每個人的恩賜,各盡其職,為要成全聖徒,建立基督的身體(以弗所 4:11 – 12節),來榮耀上帝。
