De 32:1-43.
MOSES' SONG, WHICH SETS FORTH THE PERFECTIONS OF GOD.
1. Give ear, O ye heavens; . . . hear, O earth--The magnificence of the exordium, the grandeur of the theme, the frequent and sudden transitions, the elevated strain of the sentiments and language, entitle this song to be ranked amongst the noblest specimens of poetry to be found in the Scriptures.

2, 3. 我的教训要淋漓如雨等——这话可恰当地视为以愿望或祷告的形式发出;将有益的训诲比作雨或露的纯净、柔和、渗透的影响力,是圣经作者常用的手法
(赛 5:6; 55:10, 11)。
英語原文
2, 3. My doctrine shall drop, &c.--The language may justly be taken as uttered in the form of a wish or prayer, and the comparison of wholesome instruction to the pure, gentle, and insinuating influence of rain or dew, is frequently made by the sacred writers
(Isa 5:6; 55:10, 11).

4. 祂是磐石——一个表达大能与稳固的词。在本段中的应用,是要宣告神对他们列祖和他们的约始终信实。祂所应许的无一落空;因此,他们国家的经历虽因严酷而漫长的试炼而痛苦地坎坷不平,尽管有最辉煌的应许,那结果当追溯到自己不孝而顽悖的行径,而非神任何的反复或不忠
(雅 1:17),
祂的作为始终以公义和公平为标记,无论他们是高升到昌盛,还是被投于苦难的深渊。
英語原文
4. He is the Rock--a word expressive of power and stability. The application of it in this passage is to declare that God had been true to His covenant with their fathers and them. Nothing that He had promised had failed; so that if their national experience had been painfully checkered by severe and protracted trials, notwithstanding the brightest promises, that result was traceable to their own undutiful and perverse conduct; not to any vacillation or unfaithfulness on the part of God
(Jas 1:17),
whose procedure was marked by justice and judgment, whether they had been exalted to prosperity or plunged into the depths of affliction.

5. 他们竟败坏了自己——指以色列人因屡次堕落和对偶像崇拜根深蒂固的执迷。
他们的瑕疵不是祂儿女的瑕疵——这是暗指偶像崇拜者在额头或手臂上用颜料或其他物质所画的记号,颜色和形状各异——直线、椭圆或圆形——随其所崇拜的偶像而定。
英語原文
5. They have corrupted themselves--that is, the Israelites by their frequent lapses and their inveterate attachment to idolatry.
their spot is not the spot of his children--This is an allusion to the marks which idolaters inscribe on their foreheads or their arms with paint or other substances, in various colors and forms--straight, oval, or circular, according to the favorite idol of their worship.

将你造化——将这国提升至前所未有、独特的特权。
英語原文
6. is not he thy father that hath bought thee--or emancipated thee from Egyptian bondage.
and made thee--advanced the nation to unprecedented and peculiar privileges.

8, 9. 至高者将地业赐给列邦——在挪亚据信奉神指示所进行的分地中
(创 10:5; 申 2:5-9; 徒 17:26, 27),
巴勒斯坦由天上的智慧与良善保留下来,归祂的选民所有,并要在此彰显最奇妙的作为。这舞台虽小,却极便于人类观察——它位于亚洲与非洲两大洲的交汇处,几乎可以望见欧洲。从此中心点,神奇妙作为的报道——借祂自己永恒之子顺服与受苦而成就救恩的福音——可以迅速而轻易地传遍全球各地。
依照以色列人的数目,划定万民的疆界——另一译法已获著名学者认可,提议如下:"至高者将地业赐给列邦,将人类分开、立定万民疆界之时,以色列人的人数稀少,那时耶和华拣选了那民,使雅各成为祂的产业"(参
申 30:5; 创 34:30; 诗 105:9-12)。
英語原文
8, 9. When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance--In the division of the earth, which Noah is believed to have made by divine direction
(Ge 10:5; De 2:5-9; Ac 17:26, 27),
Palestine was reserved by the wisdom and goodness of Heaven for the possession of His peculiar people and the display of the most stupendous wonders. The theater was small, but admirably suited for the convenient observation of the human race--at the junction of the two great continents of Asia and Africa, and almost within sight of Europe. From this spot as from a common center the report of God's wonderful works, the glad tidings of salvation through the obedience and sufferings of His own eternal Son, might be rapidly and easily wafted to every part of the globe.
he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel--Another rendering, which has received the sanction of eminent scholars, has been proposed as follows: "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam and set the bounds of every people, the children of Israel were few in numbers, when the Lord chose that people and made Jacob His inheritance" (compare
De 30:5; Ge 34:30; Ps 105:9-12).

英語原文
10. found him in a desert land--took him into a covenant relation at Sinai, or rather "sustained," "provided for him" in a desert land.
a waste howling wilderness--a common Oriental expression for a desert infested by wild beasts.

11. 又如鹰……搅动巢窝,在两翅之上扇展——这一优美而富于表现的比喻,建立于母鹰对其雏鹰异常的关爱和眷恋之上。当她新长成的雏鸟已进展到可以在其本元中翱翔时,在它们初学飞行之际,她用翅尖托住它们,鼓励、引导并扶助它们软弱的努力,使其能作更长、更高的飞翔。神对祂选民的照顾正是如此温柔而大能;祂将他们从埃及领出,领他们经过旷野一切可畏之处,直到应许的产业。
英語原文
11. As an eagle . . . fluttereth over her young--This beautiful and expressive metaphor is founded on the extraordinary care and attachment which the female eagle cherishes for her young. When her newly fledged progeny are sufficiently advanced to soar in their native element, she, in their first attempts at flying, supports them on the tip of her wing, encouraging, directing, and aiding their feeble efforts to longer and sublimer flights. So did God take the most tender and powerful care of His chosen people; He carried them out of Egypt and led them through all the horrors of the wilderness to the promised inheritance.

13, 14. 耶和华使他乘驾高处等——这一切表述似乎特别指向他们约旦河那边之家的领地——那是以色列人在摩西说出这些话时所已见到的巴勒斯坦全境。"高处"和"田地"特别适用于基列的台地,正如对牛群羊群、岩缝中野蜂之蜜、山顶上单独或小丛生长的橄榄所榨之油(在那几乎别无所长的高地上)、最上好的麦子

英語原文
13, 14. He made him ride on the high places, &c.--All these expressions seem to have peculiar reference to their home in the trans-jordanic territory, that being the extent of Palestine that they had seen at the time when Moses is represented as uttering these words. "The high places" and "the fields" are specially applicable to the tablelands of Gilead as are the allusions to the herds and flocks, the honey of the wild bees which hive in the crevices of the rocks, the oil from the olive as it grew singly or in small clumps on the tops of hills where scarcely anything else would grow, the finest wheat
(Ps 81:16; 147:14),
and the prolific vintage.

15. 但耶书仑渐渐肥胖、粗壮、光润,踢跳——这是以色列的诗意名称。此处所用的比喻来自一头被娇养的牲畜,它因优裕的生活和善待,非但没有变得驯良温顺,反而变得顽劣凶恶。以色列人借其种种悖逆、发怨言和拜偶像的背道之举,正是如此行事。
英語原文
15. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked--This is a poetical name for Israel. The metaphor here used is derived from a pampered animal, which, instead of being tame and gentle, becomes mischievous and vicious, in consequence of good living and kind treatment. So did the Israelites conduct themselves by their various acts of rebellion, murmuring, and idolatrous apostasy.
