英語原文
Nu 15:1-41.
THE LAW OF SUNDRY OFFERINGS.
1, 2. The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel--Some infer from
Nu 15:23
that the date of this communication must be fixed towards the close of the wanderings in the wilderness; and, also, that all the sacrifices prescribed in the law were to be offered only after the settlement in Canaan.

3. 献火祭给耶和华,就是燔祭——显然此处所指的乃平安祭,因这词常以此意使用
(Ex 18:12; Le 17:5)。
英語原文
3. make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering--It is evident that a peace offering is referred to because this term is frequently used in such a sense
(Ex 18:12; Le 17:5).

4. 伊法十分之一——即一俄梅珥,一伊法的十分之一
(Ex 16:36)。
欣四分之一油——这一成分表明它与那些单由人自己所献的素祭不同,不仅是其他祭物的附属。
英語原文
4. tenth deal--that is, an omer, the tenth part of an ephah
(Ex 16:36).
fourth part of an hin of oil--This element shows it to have been different from such meat offerings as were made by themselves, and not merely accompaniments of other sacrifices.

6-12. 伊法十分之二——细面的数量之所以加增,是因为这祭比前者更有价值。附属的祭物总是随着主祭更大的价值和规模而相应增加。
英語原文
6-12. two tenth deals--The quantity of flour was increased because the sacrifice was of superior value to the former. The accessory sacrifices were always increased in proportion to the greater worth and magnitude of its principal.

13-16. 外人——即已经成为归信者的人。以色列人的国权特权中,几乎没有什么是外邦外人不能在符合某些条件后完全参与的。
英語原文
13-16. a stranger--one who had become a proselyte. There were scarcely any of the national privileges of the Israelites, in which the Gentile stranger might not, on conforming to certain conditions, fully participate.

19. 你们吃那地的粮食,就要把举祭献给耶和华——所规定的祭要在吃之前先献上。
给耶和华——即给耶和华的祭司
(Eze 44:30)。
英語原文
19. when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering--The offering prescribed was to precede the act of eating.
unto the Lord--that is, the priests of the Lord
(Eze 44:30).

20. 禾场的举祭——指禾场上的谷物;即在收割之后。
你们也要照样举起——给祭司时,当以同样的礼仪伴随。
英語原文
20. heave offering of the threshing-floor--meaning the corn on the threshing-floor; that is, after harvest.
so shall ye heave it--to the priests accompanying the ceremony with the same rites.

22. 若有误行,没有遵守这一切命令等——关于敬拜的施行,以及构成圣事的礼仪和典礼。这律法只涉及疏忽遗漏,因此与
Le 4:13
所定的那条截然不同——后者意味着违犯或蓄意忽略某些当守的礼仪。这律法涉及私人或个别支派;那条涉及以色列全会众。
英語原文
22. if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, &c.--respecting the performance of divine worship, and the rites and ceremonies that constitute the holy service. The law relates only to any omission and consequently is quite different from that laid down in
Le 4:13,
which implies a transgression or positive neglect of some observances required. This law relates to private parties or individual tribes; that to the whole congregation of Israel.
24
無題
24-26. 若误犯了罪——摩西律例的礼仪繁复,在各种所指定的洁净之例中当行的典礼,可能使敬拜者因无知而冒忽略其中某些步骤的危险。这律法将外人也包括在为一般无知之罪所献的祭所及之人中。
英語原文
24-26. if aught be committed by ignorance--The Mosaic ritual was complicated, and the ceremonies to be gone through in the various instances of purification which are specified, would expose a worshipper, through ignorance, to the risk of omitting or neglecting some of them. This law includes the stranger in the number of those for whom the sacrifice was offered for the sin of general ignorance.

27-29. 若有一个灵魂误犯了罪——他不但在大体上与百姓同有罪,他个人的罪也当以同样的方式赎罪。
英語原文
27-29. if any soul sin through ignorance--not only in common with the general body of the people, but his personal sins were to be expiated in the same manner.

30. 但那擅敢行事的——希伯来文作"高举"或"伸手"——即明知故犯、故意、顽梗地。此用语也见于
(出 14:8; 利 26:21; 诗 19:13)。
这人亵渎耶和华——即公然藐视祂,玷辱祂的威严。
英語原文
30. the soul that doeth aught presumptuously--Hebrew, "with an high" or "uplifted hand"--that is, knowingly, wilfully, obstinately. In this sense the phraseology occurs
(Ex 14:8; Le 26:21; Ps 19:13).
the same reproacheth the Lord--sets Him at open defiance and dishonors His majesty.

31. 他的罪孽要归在他身上——他罪的刑罚要落在他个人身上;民族不会承担罪责,除非在疏忽纵容这罪上有当负的刑责。
英語原文
31. his iniquity shall be upon him--The punishment of his sins shall fall on himself individually; no guilt shall be incurred by the nation, unless there be a criminal carelessness in overlooking the offense.

32-34. 一个人在安息日拾取柴火——这件事显然是作为擅敢犯罪的实例来叙述的。仅仅拾取柴火本身并不是罪,也可能是为他取暖或预备食物所必需的。但因为是安息日行的,整个行为的性质就完全改变了。安息日的律法既是明确而积极的命令,违犯它便是明知故犯的罪,而且有数端加重之处。因为这行为是在光天化日之下、无耻大胆地行的,公然藐视神的权威——与以色列作为神立约之民的宗教关系明显相违;并且是把神已分别为圣归给自己和宗教严肃本分的时间,妄用在不正当的用途上。犯罪者被带到官长面前,官长听了这令人痛心的报告,却不知所措。在这样的案件中他们竟感到为难,似乎令人诧异,因为安息日的律法早已明载
(出 31:14)。
他们的难处大概是因为这是此类公开犯罪的首例;而上呈可能为要消除一切抱怨的借口——为要产生更显著的效果,使这罪犯的结局成为日后警告一切以色列人的鉴戒。
英語原文
32-34. a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day--This incident is evidently narrated as an instance of presumptuous sin. The mere gathering of sticks was not a sinful act and might be necessary for fuel to warm him or to make ready his food. But its being done on the Sabbath altered the entire character of the action. The law of the Sabbath being a plain and positive commandment, this transgression of it was a known and wilful sin, and it was marked by several aggravations. For the deed was done with unblushing boldness in broad daylight, in open defiance of the divine authority--in flagrant inconsistency with His religious connection with Israel, as the covenant-people of God; and it was an application to improper purposes of time, which God had consecrated to Himself and the solemn duties of religion. The offender was brought before the rulers, who, on hearing the painful report, were at a loss to determine what ought to be done. That they should have felt any embarrassment in such a case may seem surprising, in the face of the sabbath law
(Ex 31:14).
Their difficulty probably arose from this being the first public offense of the kind which had occurred; and the appeal might be made to remove all ground of complaint--to produce a more striking effect, so that the fate of this criminal might be a beacon to warn all Israelites in the future.

35, 36. 耶和华对摩西说:这人必要治死——耶和华是以色列的王,也是以色列的神;这罪既违犯了国度的律法,至高的审判者便下令将这人处死;而且祂还要求全会众一同执行这死刑。
英語原文
35, 36. The Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death--The Lord was King, as well as God of Israel, and the offense being a violation of the law of the realm, the Sovereign Judge gave orders that this man should be put to death; and, moreover, He required the whole congregation unite in executing the fatal sentence.

38. 你吩咐他们,叫他们世世代代在衣服边上做繸子——这是些狭长的带子,呈翅翼状,搭在肩上和衣服的各处。然而"繸子"在英文中译自两个不同的希伯来文词——一个指狭窄的垂边或缘饰,称为"衣边"或"镶边"
(太 23:5; 路 8:44),
为了使它更悦目,因而更能达到所述目的,上面加了一条蓝色、更准确说是紫色的带子;另一个词则指末端有繸子的绳子,系在衣角上。这两种在埃及和亚述的外袍上都可见到;犹太人既被明文反复吩咐要有这些装饰,这式样在他们身上便用以唤起高尚而虔诚的联想——使他们常常记念神的诫命。
英語原文
38. bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments--These were narrow strips, in a wing-like form, wrapped over the shoulders and on various parts of the attire. "Fringe," however, is the English rendering of two distinct Hebrew words--the one meaning a narrow lappet or edging, called the "hem" or "border"
(Mt 23:5; Lu 8:44),
which, in order to make it more attractive to the eye and consequently more serviceable to the purpose described, was covered with a riband of blue or rather purple color; the other term signifies strings with tassels at the end, fastened to the corners of the garment. Both of these are seen on the Egyptian and Assyrian frocks; and as the Jewish people were commanded by express and repeated ordinances to have them, the fashion was rendered subservient, in their case, to awaken high and religious associations--to keep them in habitual remembrance of the divine commandments.

41. 我是耶和华你们的神——这庄严结语的意思是:祂虽然因他们屡次叛逆而不悦,并要判定他们在旷野飘流四十年,却不会丢弃他们,而要继续以神圣的保护与眷顾带领他们,直到他们被领进应许之地。
英語原文
41. I am the Lord your God--The import of this solemn conclusion is, that though He was displeased with them for their frequent rebellions, for which they would be doomed to forty years' wanderings, He would not abandon them but continue His divine protection and care of them till they were brought into the land of promise.
Nu 15:1-41.
各类 献祭 之律。
1, 2. 耶和华对摩西说:你晓谕以色列人——有人从
Nu 15:23
推断,这番晓谕的时间当定于旷野漂流接近尾声之时;并且律法中所规定的一切祭物,都是在进入迦南定居之后才须献上。
