W5 2011-11-25 (申13)經文: 申命記 13:1-4 你們中間若有先知或是做夢的起來，向你顯個神蹟奇事，對你說：我們去隨從你素來所不認識的別神，事奉他吧。他所顯的神蹟奇事雖有應驗，你也不可聽那先知或是那做夢之人的話；因為這是耶和華你們的神試驗你們，要知道你們是盡心盡性愛耶和華你們的神不是。你們要順從耶和華你們的神，敬畏他，謹守他的誡命，聽從他的話，事奉他，專靠他。

W5  2011-11-25 (申13)
經文: 申命記 13:1-4 你們中間若有先知或是做夢的起來，向你顯個神蹟奇事，對你說：我們去隨從你素來所不認識的別神，事奉他吧。他所顯的神蹟奇事雖有應驗，你也不可聽那先知或是那做夢之人的話；因為這是耶和華你們的神試驗你們，要知道你們是盡心盡性愛耶和華你們的神不是。你們要順從耶和華你們的神，敬畏他，謹守他的誡命，聽從他的話，事奉他，專靠他。

默想: 這一段經文對於神蹟奇事 (signs and wonders) 與我們信仰之間的關係，有一個很重要的教導。馬可福音在結束時，這樣教導我們，門徒出去，到處宣傳福音。主和他們同工，用神蹟隨著，證實所傳的道。阿們！(可16:20) 神蹟奇事似乎可以用來證實傳道者所傳的道。但是摩西在這裡，卻提出有關神蹟奇事與信仰之間關係的另類觀點。如果有一個先知或有靈異特殊能力的人來到我們當中，很清楚的做出讓我們無法否認的神蹟奇事，我們是否因此對於他們所傳講的信息，就不須用理性去驗證，僅僅憑著他們所行的神蹟奇事，就完全相信他們所傳講的道。摩西教導以色列人，如果有先知或是靈恩能力者前來行神蹟奇事，如果他們所行的神蹟是假的，或是所說的預言是沒有應驗的，這就證明他們是假先知與教師了。先知託耶和華的名說話，所說的若不成就，也無效驗，這就是耶和華所未曾吩咐的，是那先知擅自說的，你不要怕他。(申18:22) 但是，相反的，如果那位先知能夠行出明顯的神蹟奇事，或是預言都很靈驗，我們就更要小心分辨，他的教導內容，是否與聖經所明顯記載的，有矛盾與衝突之處。我們須要慎思明辨。主耶穌對他的門徒說：假基督、假先知將要起來，顯大神蹟、大奇事，倘若能行，連選民也就迷惑了。(太24:24) 庇哩亞教會的基督徒比帖撒羅尼迦的基督徒聰明，因為聖經說：這地方的人賢於帖撒羅尼迦的人，甘心領受這道，天天考查聖經，要曉得這道是與不是。(徒17:11) 他們對於使徒保羅所傳講的道，先用甘心領受的態度學習，然後就親自天天考查聖經，要對保羅所傳講的道，做慎思明辨的工夫。求主幫助我，有謙卑領受的學習態度，也有冷靜分析、慎思明辨的工夫。

題目: 十三章中有三個禁誡，是什麼？對於你有何提醒？在現實生活中你有何類似的經歷？
13:1 「你們中間若有先知或是做夢的起來，向你顯個神蹟奇事，
"If a prophet arises among you, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder,
13:2 對你說：『我們去隨從你素來所不認識的別神，事奉它吧。』他所顯的神蹟奇事雖有應驗，
and the sign or wonder which he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, `Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, `and let us serve them,'
13:3 你也不可聽那先知或是那做夢之人的話；因為這是耶和華─你們的　神試驗你們，要知道你們是盡心盡性愛耶和華─你們的　神不是。
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
13:4 你們要順從耶和華─你們的　神，敬畏他，謹守他的誡命，聽從他的話，事奉他，專靠他。
You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him, and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and cleave to him.
13:5 那先知或是那做夢的既用言語叛逆那領你們出埃及地、救贖你脫離為奴之家的耶和華─你們的　神，要勾引你離開耶和華─你　神所吩咐你行的道，你便要將他治死。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。
But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to make you leave the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.
13:6 「你的同胞弟兄，或是你的兒女，或是你懷中的妻，或是如同你性命的朋友，若暗中引誘你，說：『我們不如去事奉你和你列祖素來所不認識的別神─
"If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, `Let us go and serve other gods,' which neither you nor your fathers have known,
13:7 是你四圍列國的神。』無論是離你近，離你遠，從地這邊到地那邊的神，
some of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other,
13:8 你不可依從他，也不可聽從他，眼不可顧惜他。你不可憐恤他，也不可遮庇他，
you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him;
13:9 總要殺他；你先下手，然後眾民也下手，將他治死。
but you shall kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
13:10 要用石頭打死他，因為他想要勾引你離開那領你埃出及地為奴之家的耶和華─你的　神。
You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13:11 以色列眾人都要聽見害怕，就不敢在你們中間再行這樣的惡了。
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.
13:12 在耶和華─你　神所賜你居住的各城中，你若聽人說，有些匪類從你們中間的一座城出來勾引本城的居民，說：『我們不如去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神』；
"If you hear in one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you to dwell there,
13:13 併於上節
that certain base fellows have gone out among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of the city, saying, `Let us go and serve other gods,' which you have not known,
13:14 你就要探聽，查究，細細地訪問，果然是真，準有這可憎惡的事行在你們中間，
then you shall inquire and make search and ask diligently; and behold, if it be true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done among you,
13:15 你必要用刀殺那城裡的居民，把城裡所有的，連牲畜，都用刀殺盡。
you shall surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, destroying it utterly, all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.
13:16 你從那城裡所奪的財物都要堆積在街市上，用火將城和其內所奪的財物都在耶和華─你　神面前燒盡；那城就永為荒堆，不可再建造。
You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square, and burn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God; it shall be a heap for ever, it shall not be built again.
13:17 那當毀滅的物連一點都不可粘你的手。你要聽從耶和華─你　神的話，遵守我今日所吩咐你的一切誡命，行耶和華─你　神眼中看為正的事，耶和華就必轉意，不發烈怒，恩待你，憐恤你，照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人數增多。」
None of the devoted things shall cleave to your hand; that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, as he swore to your fathers,
13:18 併於上節
if you obey the voice of the LORD your God, keeping all his commandments which I command you this day, and doing what is right in the sight of the LORD your God.

W4 2011-11-24(申12) 經文: 申命記 12:1-4 你們存活於世的日子，在耶和華你們列祖的神所賜你們為業的地上，要謹守遵行的律例典章乃是這些：你們要將所趕出的國民事奉神的各地方，無論是在高山，在小山，在各青翠樹下，都毀壞了；也要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的柱像，用火焚燒他們的木偶，砍下他們雕刻的神像，並將其名從那地方除滅。你們不可照他們那樣事奉耶和華你們的神。

W4  2011-11-24 (申12)
經文: 申命記 12:1-4 你們存活於世的日子，在耶和華你們列祖的神所賜你們為業的地上，要謹守遵行的律例典章乃是這些：你們要將所趕出的國民事奉神的各地方，無論是在高山，在小山，在各青翠樹下，都毀壞了；也要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的柱像，用火焚燒他們的木偶，砍下他們雕刻的神像，並將其名從那地方除滅。你們不可照他們那樣事奉耶和華你們的神。

默想: 耶和華吩咐以色列人要將外邦的宗教信仰相關一切事物完全摧毀滅盡，因為這些外邦信仰的事物，會在我們不知不覺當中，影響我們對於耶和華的侍奉態度與方式。當我們從任何其他信仰皈依為信奉上帝時，我們往往只是將所信奉的神明名稱改換為上帝，但是在我們與上帝的關係，以及我們心底深處的價值體系，卻還是紋風不動的保持原來的模樣。這是所謂的換湯不換藥。保羅在羅馬書12章1-2節勸告羅馬教會的兄姐說：所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的；你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。
羅馬書 12:2 不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。我們不要只在外貌儀式上面侍奉上帝，更重要的是，我們願意接受聖靈的啟示與教導，讓我們的心意能夠更新變化 (transformation of mind)，好讓我們能夠察驗何為神善良純全可喜悅的旨意，然後依靠上帝的恩典，全心遵行神的旨意，我們的生活才能夠成為馨香的活祭，討神的歡喜。

題目: 在13-19節與20-28節記載關於獻祭的條例有何不同？為什麼？你有何看法與學習？
12:1 「你們存活於世的日子，在耶和華─你們列祖的　神所賜你們為業的地上，要謹守遵行的律例典章乃是這些：
"These are the statutes and ordinances which you shall be careful to do in the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess, all the days that you live upon the earth.
12:2 你們要將所趕出的國民事奉　神的各地方，無論是在高山，在小山，在各青翠樹下，都毀壞了；
You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains and upon the hills and under every green tree;
12:3 也要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的柱像，用火焚燒他們的木偶，砍下他們雕刻的神像，並將其名從那地方除滅。
you shall tear down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Ashe'rim with fire; you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy their name out of that place.
12:4 你們不可照他們那樣事奉耶和華─你們的　神。
You shall not do so to the LORD your God.
12:5 但耶和華─你們的　神從你們各支派中選擇何處為立他名的居所，你們就當往那裡去求問，
But you shall seek the place which the LORD your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation there; thither you shall go,
12:6 將你們的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的舉祭，並還願祭、甘心祭，以及牛群羊群中頭生的，都奉到那裡。
and thither you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the offering that you present, your votive offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;
12:7 在那裡，耶和華─你們　神的面前，你們和你們的家屬都可以吃，並且因你手所辦的一切事蒙耶和華─你的　神賜福，就都歡樂。
and there you shall eat before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your households, in all that you undertake, in which the LORD your God has blessed you.
12:8 我們今日在這裡所行的是各人行自己眼中看為正的事，你們將來不可這樣行；
You shall not do according to all that we are doing here this day, every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes;
12:9 因為你們還沒有到耶和華─你　神所賜你的安息地，所給你的產業。
for you have not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which the LORD your God gives you.
12:10 但你們過了約旦河，得以住在耶和華─你們　神使你們承受為業之地，又使你們太平，不被四圍的一切仇敵擾亂，安然居住。
But when you go over the Jordan, and live in the land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, and when he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you live in safety,
12:11 那時要將我所吩咐你們的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的舉祭，並向耶和華許願獻的一切美祭，都奉到耶和華─你們　神所選擇要立為他名的居所。
then to the place which the LORD your God will choose, to make his name dwell there, thither you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the offering that you present, and all your votive offerings which you vow to the LORD.
12:12 你們和兒女、僕婢，並住在你們城裡無分無業的利未人，都要在耶和華─你們的　神面前歡樂。
And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your menservants and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your towns, since he has no portion or inheritance with you.
12:13 你要謹慎，不可在你所看中的各處獻燔祭。
Take heed that you do not offer your burnt offerings at every place that you see;
12:14 惟獨耶和華從你那一支派中所選擇的地方，你就要在那裡獻燔祭，行我一切所吩咐你的。
but at the place which the LORD will choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I am commanding you.
12:15 「然而，在你各城裡都可以照耶和華─你　神所賜你的福分，隨心所欲宰牲吃肉；無論潔淨人不潔淨人都可以吃，就如吃羚羊與鹿一般。
"However, you may slaughter and eat flesh within any of your towns, as much as you desire, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and as of the hart.
12:16 只是不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一樣。
Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out upon the earth like water.
12:17 你的五穀、新酒，和油的十分之一，或是牛群羊群中頭生的，或是你許願獻的，甘心獻的，或是手中的舉祭，都不可在你城裡吃。
You may not eat within your towns the tithe of your grain or of your wine or of your oil, or the firstlings of your herd or of your flock, or any of your votive offerings which you vow, or your freewill offerings, or the offering that you present;
12:18 但要在耶和華─你的　神面前吃，在耶和華─你　神所要選擇的地方，你和兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裡的利未人，都可以吃；也要因你手所辦的，在耶和華─你　神面前歡樂。
but you shall eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God will choose, you and your son and your daughter, your manservant and your maidservant, and the Levite who is within your towns; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you undertake.
12:19 你要謹慎，在你所住的地方永不可丟棄利未人。
Take heed that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
12:20 「耶和華─你的　神照他所應許擴張你境界的時候，你心裡想要吃肉，說：『我要吃肉』，就可以隨心所欲地吃肉。
"When the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as he has promised you, and you say, `I will eat flesh,' because you crave flesh, you may eat as much flesh as you desire.
12:21 耶和華─你　神所選擇要立他名的地方若離你太遠，就可以照我所吩咐的，將耶和華賜給你的牛羊取些宰了，可以隨心所欲在你城裡吃。
If the place which the LORD your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you, then you may kill any of your herd or your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your towns as much as you desire.
12:22 你吃那肉，要像吃羚羊與鹿一般；無論潔淨人不潔淨人都可以吃。
Just as the gazelle or the hart is eaten, so you may eat of it; the unclean and the clean alike may eat of it.
12:23 只是你要心意堅定，不可吃血，因為血是生命；不可將血（原文作生命）與肉同吃。
Only be sure that you do not eat the blood; for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
12:24 不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一樣。
You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out upon the earth like water.
12:25 不可吃血。這樣，你行耶和華眼中看為正的事，你和你的子孫就可以得福。
You shall not eat it; that all may go well with you and with your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD.
12:26 只是你分別為聖的物和你的還願祭要奉到耶和華所選擇的地方去。
But the holy things which are due from you, and your votive offerings, you shall take, and you shall go to the place which the LORD will choose,
12:27 你的燔祭，連肉帶血，都要獻在耶和華─你　神的壇上。平安祭的血要倒在耶和華─你　神的壇上；平安祭的肉，你自己可以吃。
and offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the LORD your God, but the flesh you may eat.
12:28 你要謹守聽從我所吩咐的一切話，行耶和華─你　神眼中看為善，看為正的事。這樣，你和你的子孫就可以永遠享福。
Be careful to heed all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you for ever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.
12:29 「耶和華─你　神將你要去趕出的國民從你面前剪除，你得了他們的地居住，
"When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,
12:30 那時就要謹慎，不可在他們除滅之後隨從他們的惡俗，陷入網羅，也不可訪問他們的神說：『這些國民怎樣事奉他們的神，我也要照樣行。』
take heed that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, `How did these nations serve their gods? -- that I also may do likewise.'
12:31 你不可向耶和華─你的　神這樣行，因為他們向他們的神行了耶和華所憎嫌所恨惡的一切事，甚至將自己的兒女用火焚燒，獻與他們的神。
You shall not do so to the LORD your God; for every abominable thing which the LORD hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
12:32 凡我所吩咐的，你們都要謹守遵行，不可加添，也不可刪減。
"Everything that I command you you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to it or take from it.

W3 2011-11-23 (申11)經文: 申命記 11:1-3 你要愛耶和華你的神，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命。你們今日當知道，我本不是和你們的兒女說話；因為他們不知道，也沒有看見耶和華你們神的管教、威嚴、大能的手，和伸出來的膀臂，並他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神蹟奇事。

W3  2011-11-23 (申11)

經文: 申命記 11:1-3 你要愛耶和華你的神，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命。你們今日當知道，我本不是和你們的兒女說話；因為他們不知道，也沒有看見耶和華你們神的管教、威嚴、大能的手，和伸出來的膀臂，並他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神蹟奇事。

默想: 從本段經文我們看到，我們的信仰，可以分為親身經歷神的救贖與管教，以及親耳聽見耶和華所吩咐的律例、典章、誡命。命題式真理 (propositional truth)只能用理性來分析與瞭解，關係式真理 (relational truth) 卻可以用心情來感受與體會。當我們的信仰只是建立在命題式真理上面時，可能只會產生理性的認同 (rational consent)，只有關係式真理能夠產生意志委身 (volitional commitment)。求主幫助我，讓我的信仰能夠建立在命題式真理的理性認同與關係式真理的意志委身。

題目: 在第十一章中，對於百姓是否遵守誡命的結果有祝福和警戒的話？你有何看法與學習？
11:1 「你要愛耶和華─你的　神，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命。
"You shall therefore love the LORD your God, and keep his charge, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments always.
11:2 你們今日當知道，我本不是和你們的兒女說話；因為他們不知道，也沒有看見耶和華─你們　神的管教、威嚴、大能的手，和伸出來的膀臂，
And consider this day (since I am not speaking to your children who have not known or seen it), consider the discipline of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand and his outstretched arm,
11:3 並他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神蹟奇事；
his signs and his deeds which he did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land;
11:4 也沒有看見他怎樣待埃及的軍兵、車馬，他們追趕你們的時候，耶和華怎樣使紅海的水淹沒他們，將他們滅絕，直到今日，
and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day;
11:5 並他在曠野怎樣待你們，以致你們來到這地方；
and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;
11:6 也沒有看見他怎樣待流便子孫以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭，地怎樣在以色列人中間開口，吞了他們和他們的家眷，並帳棚與跟他們的一切活物。
and what he did to Dathan and Abi'ram the sons of Eli'ab, son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel;
11:7 惟有你們親眼看見耶和華所做的一切大事。」
for your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did.
11:8 「所以，你們要守我今日所吩咐的一切誡命，使你們膽壯，能以進去，得你們所要得的那地，
"You shall therefore keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land which you are going over to possess,
11:9 並使你們的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們和他們後裔的地上得以長久；那是流奶與蜜之地。
and that you may live long in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
11:10 你要進去得為業的那地，本不像你出來的埃及地。你在那裡撒種，用腳澆灌，像澆灌菜園一樣。
For the land which you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your feet, like a garden of vegetables;
11:11 你們要過去得為業的那地乃是有山有谷、雨水滋潤之地，
but the land which you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven,
11:12 是耶和華─你　神所眷顧的；從歲首到年終，耶和華─你　神的眼目時常看顧那地。
a land which the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
11:13 「你們若留意聽從我今日所吩咐的誡命，愛耶和華─你們的　神，盡心盡性事奉他，
"And if you will obey my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
11:14 他（原文是我）必按時降秋雨春雨在你們的地上，使你們可以收藏五穀、新酒和油，
he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.
11:15 也必使你吃得飽足，並使田野為你的牲畜長草。
And he will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you shall eat and be full.
11:16 你們要謹慎，免得心中受迷惑，就偏離正路，去事奉敬拜別神。
Take heed lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,
11:17 耶和華的怒氣向你們發作，就使天閉塞不下雨，地也不出產，使你們在耶和華所賜給你們的美地上速速滅亡。
and the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the heavens, so that there be no rain, and the land yield no fruit, and you perish quickly off the good land which the LORD gives you.
11:18 「你們要將我這話存在心內，留在意中，繫在手上為記號，戴在額上為經文；
"You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
11:19 也要教訓你們的兒女，無論坐在家裡，行在路上，躺下，起來，都要談論；
And you shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
11:20 又要寫在房屋的門框上，並城門上，
And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates,
11:21 使你們和你們子孫的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們的地上得以增多，如天覆地的日子那樣多。
that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.
11:22 你們若留意謹守遵行我所吩咐這一切的誡命，愛耶和華─你們的　神，行他的道，專靠他，
For if you will be careful to do all this commandment which I command you to do, loving the LORD your God, walking in all his ways, and cleaving to him,
11:23 他必從你們面前趕出這一切國民，就是比你們更大更強的國民，你們也要得他們的地。
then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
11:24 凡你們腳掌所踏之地都必歸你們；從曠野和黎巴嫩，並伯拉大河，直到西海，都要作你們的境界。
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours; your territory shall be from the wilderness and Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphra'tes, to the western sea.
11:25 必無一人能在你們面前站立得住；耶和華─你們的　神必照他所說的，使懼怕驚恐臨到你們所踏之地的居民。
No man shall be able to stand against you; the LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you.
11:26 「看哪，我今日將祝福與咒詛的話都陳明在你們面前。
"Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
11:27 你們若聽從耶和華─你們　神的誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你們的，就必蒙福。
the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day,
11:28 你們若不聽從耶和華─你們　神的誡命，偏離我今日所吩咐你們的道，去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神，就必受禍。
and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which you have not known.
11:29 及至耶和華─你的　神領你進入要去得為業的那地，你就要將祝福的話陳明在基利心山上，將咒詛的話陳明在以巴路山上。
And when the LORD your God brings you into the land which you are entering to take possession of it, you shall set the blessing on Mount Ger'izim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
11:30 這二山豈不是在約旦河那邊，日落之處，在住亞拉巴的迦南人之地與吉甲相對，靠近摩利橡樹嗎？
Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the road, toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oak of Moreh?
11:31 你們要過約旦河，進去得耶和華─你們　神所賜你們為業之地，在那地居住。
For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land which the LORD your God gives you; and when you possess it and live in it,
11:32 你們要謹守遵行我今日在你們面前所陳明的一切律例典章。」
you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.

W2 2011-11-22(申10) 經文: 申命記 10:1-2 那時，耶和華吩咐我說：你要鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣，上山到我這裡來，又要做一木櫃。你先前摔碎的那版，其上的字我要寫在這版上；你要將這版放在櫃中。

全新四年樂活讀經                        
W2  2011-11-22 (申10)

經文: 申命記 10:1-2 那時，耶和華吩咐我說：你要鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣，上山到我這裡來，又要做一木櫃。你先前摔碎的那版，其上的字我要寫在這版上；你要將這版放在櫃中。

默想: 申命記的英文是deuteronomy, 是源自七十士譯本 (Septuagint) [希伯來聖經之希臘文譯本] 以及拉丁文武加大譯本 (Latin Vulgate) 從申命記17:18 中之 “抄錄一本” 的譯詞。七十士譯本之希臘文是 Deuteronovmion (deuteronomion)，拉丁武加大譯本則譯為 deuteronomium。意思是 “第二律法”。申命記是摩西對於出埃及後在進入迦南地之前，對於第二代以色列人，重述一遍耶和華在西乃山對於第一代以色列人所頒布的律法。今天這段經文讓我看到，耶和華對於第一代的以色列人，也是兩度頒布律法。第一次耶和華呼召摩西登上西乃山，親口向摩西頒布律法，要摩西下山後要照樣將這些律法教導給以色列人遵行。同時耶和華在西乃山和摩西說完了話，就把兩塊法版交給他，是神用指頭寫的石版。(出31:18) 這兩塊石版是耶和華所預備，且親手寫上十誡內容。摩西在下西乃山時，看見亞倫帶領以色列人在他上山四十天之間竟然去拜自己的手所鑄出來的金牛犢。摩西在盛怒之下，把手裡兩塊石版扔到山下摔碎了 (出32:19)。耶和華要摩西再度上西乃山，這回摩西須要自己刻出兩塊石版帶上山，讓耶和華在石版上面再一次將十誡親手刻上去。感謝上帝，你對於我們的犯錯是滿有慈悲憐憫。你願意給我們再一次的機會來學習你的律法。求上帝幫助我，能夠懷者感恩的心，抓住這第二次的機會，來學習遵行你的律法。

題目: 12-21節，上帝對於以色列百姓的要求是什麼？這對於你有何提醒？你的回應是什麼？
10:1 「那時，耶和華吩咐我說：『你要鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣，上山到我這裡來，又要做一木櫃。
"At that time the LORD said to me, `Hew two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
10:2 你先前摔碎的那版，其上的字我要寫在這版上；你要將這版放在櫃中。』
And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.'
10:3 於是我用皂莢木做了一櫃，又鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣，手裡拿這兩塊版上山去了。
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tables in my hand.
10:4 耶和華將那大會之日、在山上從火中所傳與你們的十條誡，照先前所寫的，寫在這版上，將版交給我了。
And he wrote on the tables, as at the first writing, the ten commandments which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me.
10:5 我轉身下山，將這版放在我所做的櫃中，現今還在那裡，正如耶和華所吩咐我的。」
Then I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.
10:6 （以色列人從比羅比尼•亞干（或作：亞干井）起行，到了摩西拉。亞倫死在那裡，就葬在那裡。他兒子以利亞撒接續他供祭司的職分。
(The people of Israel journeyed from Be-er'oth Bene-ja'akan to Mose'rah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and his son Elea'zar ministered as priest in his stead.
10:7 他們從那裡起行，到了谷歌大，又從谷歌大到了有溪水之地的約巴他。
From there they journeyed to Gud'godah, and from Gud'godah to Jot'bathah, a land with brooks of water.
10:8 那時，耶和華將利未支派分別出來，抬耶和華的約櫃，又侍立在耶和華面前事奉他，奉他的名祝福，直到今日。
At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him and to bless in his name, to this day.
10:9 所以利未人在他弟兄中無分無業，耶和華是他的產業，正如耶和華─你　神所應許他的。）
Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God said to him.)
10:10 「我又像從前在山上住了四十晝夜。那次耶和華也應允我，不忍將你滅絕。
"I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and the LORD hearkened to me that time also; the LORD was unwilling to destroy you.
10:11 耶和華吩咐我說：『你起來引導這百姓，使他們進去得我向他們列祖起誓應許所賜之地。』
And the LORD said to me, `Arise, go on your journey at the head of the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.'
10:12 以色列啊，現在耶和華─你　神向你所要的是甚麼呢？只要你敬畏耶和華─你的　神，遵行他的道，愛他，盡心盡性事奉他，
"And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
10:13 遵守他的誡命律例，就是我今日所吩咐你的，為要叫你得福。
and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I command you this day for your good?
10:14 看哪，天和天上的天，地和地上所有的，都屬耶和華─你的　神。
Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it;
10:15 耶和華但喜悅你的列祖，愛他們，從萬民中揀選他們的後裔，就是你們，像今日一樣。
yet the LORD set his heart in love upon your fathers and chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as at this day.
10:16 所以你們要將心裡的污穢除掉，不可再硬著頸項。
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.
10:17 因為耶和華─你們的　神─他是萬神之神，萬主之主，至大的　神，大有能力，大而可畏，不以貌取人，也不受賄賂。
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.
10:18 他為孤兒寡婦伸冤，又憐愛寄居的，賜給他衣食。
He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.
10:19 所以你們要憐愛寄居的，因為你們在埃及地也作過寄居的。
Love the sojourner therefore; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10:20 你要敬畏耶和華─你的　神，事奉他，專靠他，也要指著他的名起誓。
You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him and cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.
10:21 他是你所讚美的，是你的　神，為你做了那大而可畏的事，是你親眼所看見的。
He is your praise; he is your God, who has done for you these great and terrible things which your eyes have seen.
10:22 你的列祖七十人下埃及；現在耶和華─你的　神使你如同天上的星那樣多。」
Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude.

W1 2011-11-21 (申9)經文: 申命記 9:5-6 你進去得他們的地，並不是因你的義，也不是因你心裡正直，乃是因這些國民的惡，耶和華你的神將他們從你面前趕出去，又因耶和華要堅定他向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓所應許的話。你當知道，耶和華你神將這美地賜你為業，並不是因你的義；你本是硬著頸項的百姓。

全新四年樂活讀經                        
W1  2011-11-21 (申9)
經文: 申命記 9:5-6 你進去得他們的地，並不是因你的義，也不是因你心裡正直，乃是因這些國民的惡，耶和華你的神將他們從你面前趕出去，又因耶和華要堅定他向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓所應許的話。你當知道，耶和華你神將這美地賜你為業，並不是因你的義；你本是硬著頸項的百姓。
 
默想: 耶和華很清楚的告訴以色列人，他們並沒有比別的民族更正直，或是更公義。他們之所以蒙耶和華的揀選，乃是因為亞伯拉罕的因信稱義，也是因為耶和華是守約施慈愛 (hesed) 的神。更是上帝白白的恩典。以色列人本是硬著頸項的百姓。感謝上帝的恩典，是你的恩典，在眾人當中揀選我，讓我有機會聽聞福音，也蒙聖靈的感動，能夠用信心還回應主耶穌十架上的大愛，接受因信稱義，以及因信成聖的生命成長經歷。求主保守我，不要驕傲自大，不要自滿自足，乃是謙卑感恩，全心奉獻，侍奉耶和華，也願意侍奉我的鄰舍。

題目: 7-29節，摩西回顧以色列百姓在何烈山的經歷是什麼？當時摩西如何面對與處理？你有何看法與學習？
9:1 「以色列啊，你當聽！你今日要過約旦河，進去趕出比你強大的國民，得著廣大堅固、高得頂天的城邑。
"Hear, O Israel; you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
9:2 那民是亞衲族的人，又大又高，是你所知道的；也曾聽見有人指著他們說：『誰能在亞衲族人面前站立得住呢？』
a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard it said, `Who can stand before the sons of Anak?'
9:3 你今日當知道，耶和華─你的　神在你前面過去，如同烈火，要滅絕他們，將他們制伏在你面前。這樣，你就要照耶和華所說的趕出他們，使他們速速滅亡。
Know therefore this day that he who goes over before you as a devouring fire is the LORD your God; he will destroy them and subdue them before you; so you shall drive them out, and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has promised you.
9:4 「耶和華─你的　神將這些國民從你面前攆出以後，你心裡不可說：『耶和華將我領進來得這地是因我的義。』其實，耶和華將他們從你面前趕出去是因他們的惡。
"Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out before you, `It is because of my righteousness that the LORD has brought me in to possess this land'; whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is driving them out before you.
9:5 你進去得他們的地，並不是因你的義，也不是因你心裡正直，乃是因這些國民的惡，耶和華─你的　神將他們從你面前趕出去，又因耶和華要堅定他向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓所應許的話。
Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land; but because of the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
9:6 「你當知道，耶和華─你　神將這美地賜你為業，並不是因你的義；你本是硬著頸項的百姓。
"Know therefore, that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness; for you are a stubborn people.
9:7 你當記念不忘，你在曠野怎樣惹耶和華─你　神發怒。自從你出了埃及地的那日，直到你們來到這地方，你們時常悖逆耶和華。
Remember and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you came out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
9:8 你們在何烈山又惹耶和華發怒；他惱怒你們，要滅絕你們。
Even at Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that he was ready to destroy you.
9:9 我上了山，要領受兩塊石版，就是耶和華與你們立約的版。那時我在山上住了四十晝夜，沒有吃飯，也沒有喝水。
When I went up the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
9:10 耶和華把那兩塊石版交給我，是　神用指頭寫的。版上所寫的是照耶和華在大會的日子、在山上、從火中對你們所說的一切話。
And the LORD gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD had spoken with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
9:11 過了四十晝夜，耶和華把那兩塊石版，就是約版，交給我。
And at the end of forty days and forty nights the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
9:12 對我說：『你起來，趕快下去！因為你從埃及領出來的百姓已經敗壞了自己；他們快快的偏離了我所吩咐的道，為自己鑄成了偶像。』
Then the LORD said to me, `Arise, go down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly; they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molten image.'
9:13 「耶和華又對我說：『我看這百姓是硬著頸項的百姓。
"Furthermore the LORD said to me, `I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stubborn people;
9:14 你且由著我，我要滅絕他們，將他們的名從天下塗抹，使你的後裔比他們成為更大更強的國。』
let me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'
9:15 於是我轉身下山，山被火燒著，兩塊約版在我兩手之中。
So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
9:16 我一看見你們得罪了耶和華─你們的　神，鑄成了牛犢，快快的偏離了耶和華所吩咐你們的道，
And I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
9:17 我就把那兩塊版從我手中扔下去，在你們眼前摔碎了。
So I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
9:18 因你們所犯的一切罪，行了耶和華眼中看為惡的事，惹他發怒，我就像從前俯伏在耶和華面前四十晝夜，沒有吃飯，也沒有喝水。
Then I lay prostrate before the LORD as before, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin which you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
9:19 我因耶和華向你們大發烈怒，要滅絕你們，就甚害怕；但那次耶和華又應允了我。
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure which the LORD bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened to me that time also.
9:20 耶和華也向亞倫甚是發怒，要滅絕他；那時我又為亞倫祈禱。
And the LORD was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
9:21 我把那叫你們犯罪所鑄的牛犢用火焚燒，又搗碎磨得很細，以至細如灰塵，我就把這灰塵撒在從山上流下來的溪水中。
Then I took the sinful thing, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I threw the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
9:22 「你們在他備拉、瑪撒、基博羅•哈他瓦又惹耶和華發怒。
"At Tab'erah also, and at Massah, and at Kib'roth-hatta'avah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.
9:23 耶和華打發你們離開加低斯•巴尼亞，說：『你們上去得我所賜給你們的地。』那時你們違背了耶和華─你們　神的命令，不信服他，不聽從他的話。
And when the LORD sent you from Ka'desh-bar'nea, saying, `Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you,' then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and did not believe him or obey his voice.
9:24 自從我認識你們以來，你們常常悖逆耶和華。
You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
9:25 「我因耶和華說要滅絕你們，就在耶和華面前照舊俯伏四十晝夜。
"So I lay prostrate before the LORD for these forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
9:26 我祈禱耶和華說：『主耶和華啊，求你不要滅絕你的百姓。他們是你的產業，是你用大力救贖的，用大能從埃及領出來的。
And I prayed to the LORD, `O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thy heritage, whom thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
9:27 求你記念你的僕人亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各，不要想念這百姓的頑梗、邪惡、罪過，
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness, or their sin,
9:28 免得你領我們出來的那地之人說，耶和華因為不能將這百姓領進他所應許之地，又因恨他們，所以領他們出去，要在曠野殺他們。
lest the land from which thou didst bring us say, "Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness."
9:29 其實他們是你的百姓，你的產業，是你用大能和伸出來的膀臂領出來的。』」
For they are thy people and thy heritage, whom thou didst bring out by thy great power and by thy outstretched arm.'
