經文: 士師記 18:31 神的殿在示羅多少日子，但人為自己設立米迦所雕刻的像也在但多少日子。
默想: 神的殿在示羅，但人卻不上示羅去敬拜耶和華，寧可敬拜自己在家裡設立由米迦那裡搶奪過來的銀偶像。耶和華是創造並掌管宇宙萬物的上帝，偶像卻是由人所鑄造，並且可以被人用武力強奪的東西。我們天性不喜歡被掌管，我們傾向造自己掌控一切。像創世記第三章所記載亞當與夏娃墮落的故事，那蛇對夏娃的誘惑就是，你可以用你的手去摘下那分別善惡樹上的果子，你可以成為如神一樣。本來在創世記第一章所記載，當耶和華造人時，就把上帝的形像與樣式賞賜給了人類。人類卻不願意用感恩的心，伸出雙手來接受上帝所賞賜這寶貴的禮物，寧可自己用手去摘取那果子，自己要達到如神的境界。求主幫助我，要尋求耶和華的面來敬拜他，不要自己設立自己的偶像來敬拜。要學習順服耶和華，不要自己以為聰明。
題目: 但人仗著人多勢眾，強行擄掠米迦所做的神像、祭司、家人、財物，當米迦追趕時，還明知故問「你聚集這許多人來做甚麼呢？」試問，我們是否有時也因人多，而欺壓了較弱勢的個人或團體？
18:1 那時，以色列中沒有王。但支派的人仍是尋地居住；因為到那日子，他們還沒有在以色列支派中得地為業。
In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking for itself an inheritance to dwell in; for until then no inheritance among the tribes of Israel had fallen to them.
18:2 但人從瑣拉和以實陶打發本族中的五個勇士，去仔細窺探那地，吩咐他們說：「你們去窺探那地。」他們來到以法蓮山地，進了米迦的住宅，就在那裡住宿。
So the Danites sent five able men from the whole number of their tribe, from Zorah and from Esh'ta-ol, to spy out the land and to explore it; and they said to them, "Go and explore the land." And they came to the hill country of E'phraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
18:3 他們臨近米迦的住宅，聽出那少年利未人的口音來，就進去問他說：「誰領你到這裡來？你在這裡做甚麼？你在這裡得甚麼？」
When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite; and they turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?"
18:4 他回答說：「米迦待我如此如此，請我作祭司。」
And he said to them, "Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest."
18:5 他們對他說：「請你求問 神，使我們知道所行的道路通達不通達。」
And they said to him, "Inquire of God, we pray thee, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed."
18:6 祭司對他們說：「你們可以平平安安地去，你們所行的道路是在耶和華面前的。」
And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the eye of the LORD."
18:7 五人就走了，來到拉億，見那裡的民安居無慮，如同西頓人安居一樣。在那地沒有人掌權擾亂他們；他們離西頓人也遠，與別人沒有來往。
Then the five men departed, and came to La'ish, and saw the people who were there, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Sido'nians, quiet and unsuspecting, lacking nothing that is in the earth, and possessing wealth, and how they were far from the Sido'nians and had no dealings with any one.
18:8 五人回到瑣拉和以實陶，見他們的弟兄；弟兄問他們說：「你們有甚麼話？」
And when they came to their brethren at Zorah and Esh'ta-ol, their brethren said to them, "What do you report?"
18:9 他們回答說：「起來，我們上去攻擊他們吧！我們已經窺探那地，見那地甚好。你們為何靜坐不動呢？要急速前往得那地為業，不可遲延。
They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very fertile. And will you do nothing? Do not be slow to go, and enter in and possess the land.
18:10 你們到了那裡，必看見安居無慮的民，地也寬闊。 神已將那地交在你們手中；那地百物俱全，一無所缺。」
When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is broad; yea, God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth."
18:11 於是但族中的六百人，各帶兵器，從瑣拉和以實陶前往，
And six hundred men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set forth from Zorah and Esh'ta-ol,
18:12 上到猶大的基列•耶琳，在基列•耶琳後邊安營。因此那地方名叫瑪哈尼•但，直到今日。
and went up and encamped at Kir'iath-je'arim in Judah. On this account that place is called Ma'haneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kir'iath-je'arim.
18:13 他們從那裡往以法蓮山地去，來到米迦的住宅。
And they passed on from there to the hill country of E'phraim, and came to the house of Micah.
18:14 從前窺探拉億地的五個人對他們的弟兄說：「這宅子裡有以弗得和家中的神像，並雕刻的像與鑄成的像，你們知道嗎？現在你們要想一想當怎樣行。」
Then the five men who had gone to spy out the country of La'ish said to their brethren, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, teraphim, a graven image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you will do."
18:15 五人就進入米迦的住宅，到了那少年利未人的房內問他好。
And they turned aside thither, and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.
18:16 那六百但人各帶兵器，站在門口。
Now the six hundred men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, stood by the entrance of the gate;
18:17 窺探地的五個人走進去，將雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，並鑄成的像，都拿了去。祭司和帶兵器的六百人，一同站在門口。
and the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up, and entered and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
18:18 那五個人進入米迦的住宅，拿出雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，並鑄成的像，祭司就問他們說：「你們做甚麼呢？」
And when these went into Micah's house and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
18:19 他們回答說：「不要作聲，用手摀口，跟我們去吧！我們必以你為父、為祭司。你作一家的祭司好呢？還是作以色列一族一支派的祭司好呢？」
And they said to him, "Keep quiet, put your hand upon your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and family in Israel?"
18:20 祭司心裡喜悅，便拿著以弗得和家中的神像，並雕刻的像，進入他們中間。
And the priest's heart was glad; he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
18:21 他們就轉身離開那裡，妻子、兒女、牲畜、財物都在前頭。
So they turned and departed, putting the little ones and the cattle and the goods in front of them.
18:22 離米迦的住宅已遠，米迦的近鄰都聚集來，追趕但人，
When they were a good way from the home of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house were called out, and they overtook the Danites.
18:23 呼叫但人。但人回頭問米迦說：「你聚集這許多人來做甚麼呢？」
And they shouted to the Danites, who turned round and said to Micah, "What ails you that you come with such a company?"
18:24 米迦說：「你們將我所做的神像和祭司都帶了去，我還有所剩的麼？怎麼還問我說『做甚麼』呢？」
And he said, "You take my gods which I made, and the priest, and go away, and what have I left? How then do you ask me, `What ails you?'"
18:25 但人對米迦說：「你不要使我們聽見你的聲音，恐怕有性暴的人攻擊你，以致你和你的全家盡都喪命。」
And the Danites said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and you lose your life with the lives of your household."
18:26 但人還是走他們的路。米迦見他們的勢力比自己強盛，就轉身回家去了。
Then the Danites went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his home.
18:27 但人將米迦所做的神像和他的祭司都帶到拉億，見安居無慮的民，就用刀殺了那民，又放火燒了那城，
And taking what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, the Danites came to La'ish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire.
18:28 並無人搭救；因為離西頓遠，他們又與別人沒有來往。城在平原，那平原靠近伯•利合。但人又在那裡修城居住，
And there was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any one. It was in the valley which belongs to Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city, and dwelt in it.
18:29 照著他們始祖以色列之子但的名字，給那城起名叫但；原先那城名叫拉億。
And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the name of the city was La'ish at the first.
18:30 但人就為自己設立那雕刻的像。摩西的孫子、革舜的兒子約拿單，和他的子孫作但支派的祭司，直到那地遭擄掠的日子。
And the Danites set up the graven image for themselves; and Jonathan the son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
18:31 神的殿在示羅多少日子，但人為自己設立米迦所雕刻的像也在但多少日子。
So they set up Micah's graven image which he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.
In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking for itself an inheritance to dwell in; for until then no inheritance among the tribes of Israel had fallen to them.
18:2 但人從瑣拉和以實陶打發本族中的五個勇士，去仔細窺探那地，吩咐他們說：「你們去窺探那地。」他們來到以法蓮山地，進了米迦的住宅，就在那裡住宿。
So the Danites sent five able men from the whole number of their tribe, from Zorah and from Esh'ta-ol, to spy out the land and to explore it; and they said to them, "Go and explore the land." And they came to the hill country of E'phraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
18:3 他們臨近米迦的住宅，聽出那少年利未人的口音來，就進去問他說：「誰領你到這裡來？你在這裡做甚麼？你在這裡得甚麼？」
When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite; and they turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?"
18:4 他回答說：「米迦待我如此如此，請我作祭司。」
And he said to them, "Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest."
18:5 他們對他說：「請你求問 神，使我們知道所行的道路通達不通達。」
And they said to him, "Inquire of God, we pray thee, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed."
18:6 祭司對他們說：「你們可以平平安安地去，你們所行的道路是在耶和華面前的。」
And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the eye of the LORD."
18:7 五人就走了，來到拉億，見那裡的民安居無慮，如同西頓人安居一樣。在那地沒有人掌權擾亂他們；他們離西頓人也遠，與別人沒有來往。

18:11 於是但族中的六百人，各帶兵器，從瑣拉和以實陶前往，
And six hundred men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set forth from Zorah and Esh'ta-ol,
18:12 上到猶大的基列•耶琳，在基列•耶琳後邊安營。因此那地方名叫瑪哈尼•但，直到今日。
and went up and encamped at Kir'iath-je'arim in Judah. On this account that place is called Ma'haneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kir'iath-je'arim.
18:13 他們從那裡往以法蓮山地去，來到米迦的住宅。
And they passed on from there to the hill country of E'phraim, and came to the house of Micah.
18:14 從前窺探拉億地的五個人對他們的弟兄說：「這宅子裡有以弗得和家中的神像，並雕刻的像與鑄成的像，你們知道嗎？現在你們要想一想當怎樣行。」
Then the five men who had gone to spy out the country of La'ish said to their brethren, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, teraphim, a graven image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you will do."
18:15 五人就進入米迦的住宅，到了那少年利未人的房內問他好。

18:17 窺探地的五個人走進去，將雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，並鑄成的像，都拿了去。祭司和帶兵器的六百人，一同站在門口。
and the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up, and entered and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
18:18 那五個人進入米迦的住宅，拿出雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，並鑄成的像，祭司就問他們說：「你們做甚麼呢？」
And when these went into Micah's house and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
18:19 他們回答說：「不要作聲，用手摀口，跟我們去吧！我們必以你為父、為祭司。你作一家的祭司好呢？還是作以色列一族一支派的祭司好呢？」
And they said to him, "Keep quiet, put your hand upon your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and family in Israel?"
18:20 祭司心裡喜悅，便拿著以弗得和家中的神像，並雕刻的像，進入他們中間。

士師記 18:30~31 『但人就為自己設立那雕刻的像。摩西的孫子、革舜的兒子約拿單，和他的子孫作但支派的祭司，直到那地遭擄掠的日子。神的殿在示羅多少日子，但人為自己設立米迦所雕刻的像也在但多少日子。』
回覆刪除但族人不住在分派給他們的地，自己決意往北方遷徙，但族中的六百人，各帶兵器，靠著人多示眾，而欺壓了較弱人少的米迦一家和殺了落單的拉億的居民。 但族人劫掠自己的弟兄（同是以色列人），行為可恥。並且擄掠米迦家中的神像，帶走利未人，這種無法無天的行為，正好為「那時以色列中沒有王，各人任意而行」下了註腳。他們掠取的，雖然是宗教聖物，以為得到這些便可以得到耶和華的賜福，真是迷信誤人，更加褻神名。
馬太福音 25:40 說：『我實在告訴你們，這些事你們既做在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上，就是做在我身上了。』，求主幫助我們，不要因人多示眾，就故意欺壓弱勢的個人或團體，而沾沾自喜，要有憐憫的心，愛弟兄，愛教會，彼此相愛。今天這章經文，也提醒我們：要尋求耶和華的面來敬拜他，不要自己設立自己的偶像來敬拜。要學習順服耶和華，不要自己以為聰明。
