Ge 12:1-20.
CALL TO ABRAM.
1. Now the Lord had said unto Abram--It pleased God, who has often been found of them who sought Him not, to reveal Himself to Abraham perhaps by a miracle; and the conversion of Abraham is one of the most remarkable in Bible history.
Get thee out of thy country--His being brought to the knowledge and worship of the true God had probably been a considerable time before. This call included two promises: the first, showing the land of his future posterity; and the second, that in his posterity all the earth was to be blessed
(Ge 12:2).
Abraham obeyed, and it is frequently mentioned in the New Testament as a striking instance of his faith
(Heb 11:8).

6. 示剑地方——或作示剑，当时尚无人居住的牧区山谷（参
Ge 33:18)。
摩利平原——更准确地说，是摩利的“笃耨香树”，在巴勒斯坦极常见，以枝叶广展和深绿的叶子著称。摩利那里大概有一片这些树的林子，其宜人的荫蔽引亚伯兰选其为扎营之地。

6. the place of Sichem--or Shechem, a pastoral valley then unoccupied (compare
Ge 33:18).
plain of Moreh--rather, the "terebinth tree" of Moreh, very common in Palestine, remarkable for its wide-spreading branches and its dark green foliage. It is probable that in Moreh there was a grove of these trees, whose inviting shade led Abram to choose it for an encampment.

7. 我要把这地赐给你的后裔——神对待亚伯拉罕不仅是按他私人个人的身份，更是着眼于将来时代中重大而重要的利益。那地他的后裔要以特别的民身份居住数百年；神圣知识的种子要为全人类的益处撒在那里；从其地理位置看，那是按神智慧所选、最适于作为给全世界之神圣启示的摇篮之地。
他就在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛——借着这庄严的奉献之举，亚伯拉罕公开宣告了他的信仰，设立了真神的敬拜，并表明了他对那应许的信心。

7. Unto thy seed will I give this land--God was dealing with Abram not in his private and personal capacity merely, but with a view to high and important interests in future ages. That land his posterity was for centuries to inhabit as a peculiar people; the seeds of divine knowledge were to be sown there for the benefit of all mankind; and considered in its geographical situation, it was chosen in divine wisdom as the fittest of all lands to serve as the cradle of a divine revelation designed for the whole world.
and there builded he an altar unto the Lord--By this solemn act of devotion Abram made an open profession of his religion, established the worship of the true God, and declared his faith in the promise.

10. 那地遭遇饥荒……亚伯兰下埃及去——他并未回到自己出生之地，好像后悔客旅的身份、轻看应许之地
(Heb 11:15)，
而是暂时退到一个邻近的国家。
영문 원문
10. there was a famine . . . and Abram went down into Egypt--He did not go back to the place of his nativity, as regretting his pilgrimage and despising the promised land
(Heb 11:15),
but withdrew for a while into a neighboring country.

11-13. 撒莱的肤色来自山区，与埃及女子苍黄的脸相比，必是新鲜白皙的。亚伯兰给她的劝告在字句上是真实的，却是欺骗，意在给人印象她不过是他的妹子。他的行为是有罪的，与他作神仆人的品格不符：这表明他倚靠世俗的策略过于信靠应许；他不仅自己犯罪，更引诱撒莱也犯罪。

11-13. Sarai's complexion, coming from a mountainous country, would be fresh and fair compared with the faces of Egyptian women which were sallow. The counsel of Abram to her was true in words, but it was a deception, intended to give an impression that she was no more than his sister. His conduct was culpable and inconsistent with his character as a servant of God: it showed a reliance on worldly policy more than a trust in the promise; and he not only sinned himself, but tempted Sarai to sin also.

14. 亚伯兰到了埃及——从那国的纪念碑可以看出，亚伯兰到访之时，那里的王朝已存在数百年。政府所在地在三角洲，即该国最北的部分，正是亚伯兰必到达之处。他们是一个与迦南人密切结盟的牧人王族。

14. when Abram was come into Egypt--It appears from the monuments of that country that at the time of Abram's visit a monarchy had existed for several centuries. The seat of government was in the Delta, the most northern part of the country, the very quarter in which Abram must have arrived. They were a race of shepherd-kings, in close alliance with the people of Canaan.

15. 妇人被带进法老的宫去——东方君王数百年来都自称有权将他所喜悦的未婚女子收入后宫。父亲或兄弟也许视这被取走为灾祸而哀叹，但王权从不被抗拒或质疑。

15. the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house--Eastern kings have for ages claimed the privilege of taking to their harem an unmarried woman whom they like. The father or brother may deplore the removal as a calamity, but the royal right is never resisted nor questioned.

18-20. 这里有一番最可羞的责备，亚伯拉罕也当受。若非神干预，他也许受诱留在埃及，忘记应许
(Ps 105:13, 15)。
神至今仍常常责备他的百姓，并借着仇敌提醒他们：这世界不是他们的安息。

18-20. Here is a most humiliating rebuke, and Abram deserved it. Had not God interfered, he might have been tempted to stay in Egypt and forget the promise
(Ps 105:13, 15).
Often still does God rebuke His people and remind them through enemies that this world is not their rest.
Ge 12:1-20.
对亚伯兰的呼召。
1. 耶和华对亚伯兰说——那常常被不求他的人寻见的主，乐意（也许藉着神迹）向亚伯拉罕启示他自己；而亚伯拉罕的归正，是圣经历史中最令人瞩目的归正之一。
你要离开本地——他被带到对真神的认识和敬拜之前，可能已有相当一段时间。这次呼召包含两个应许：第一，指明他将来后裔所得之地；第二，地上的万族都要因他的后裔得福
(Ge 12:2)。
亚伯拉罕顺服了，新约中多次提及此事，作为他信心的一个显著例证
(Heb 11:8)。
