繁體中文
Original em inglês
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. 獻火祭給耶和華，就是燔祭——這裏所指的顯然是平安祭，因這詞常常如此使用
(Ex 18:12; Le 17:5)。
Original em inglês
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，是一伊法的十分之一
(Ex 16:36)。
油一欣四分之一——這一成分表明此素祭與單獨自獻的素祭有別，並非僅為別樣祭的附屬。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
6-12. 伊法十分之二——麵的數量增加了，因為這祭比前述的更有價值。附屬的祭物總是隨着主祭價值與規模的增大而相應增加。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
13-16. 外人——即已歸化的入教者。以色列人的國家特權，外邦人幾乎無一不能在符合某些條件後完全享有。
Original em inglês
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

19. 吃那地的糧食，就要把舉祭獻給耶和華——所定的祭要在進食之先獻上。
給耶和華——即給耶和華的祭司
(Eze 44:30)。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
20. 舉祭——指禾場上的穀物，即收割之後。
你們也要照樣舉祭——獻給祭司，並伴以同樣的禮儀。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
22. 若你們有了過錯，不能守全這一切誡命等——關乎敬拜的履行，以及構成聖潔事奉的禮儀與典章。這條律法僅涉及任何疏漏，因而與
Le 4:13
所定的那條截然不同，後者意味著對某些所要求之禮儀的違犯或積極的疏忽。本條律法關乎私人或個別支派；那條則關乎以色列全會眾。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
24-26. 若有甚麼誤犯的——摩西的禮儀繁複，在各種所列明的潔淨事例中所當經過的禮節，會使敬拜者因無知而有遺漏或疏忽的危險。本條律法將寄居的外人，也包括在為一般無知之罪所獻祭物的人數之內。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
27-29. 若有一個人不小心犯了罪——不僅與百姓全體共有的罪，連他個人的罪也要以同樣的方式贖罪。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
30. 但那擅敢行事的——《希伯來文》作「高舉」或「舉起手」——即明知、故意、頑固地。這措辭在以下經文以此意義出現
（Ex 14:8； Le 26:21； Ps 19:13）。
他褻瀆耶和華——公然藐視祂，褻瀆祂的威嚴。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
31. 他的罪孽要歸在他身上——他罪的刑罰要單單落在他自己身上；國家不擔負罪責，除非在忽略這罪上有犯罪的疏忽。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
32-34. 一個人在安息日撿柴——這事件顯然是作為擅敢犯罪的例子來記述的。單單撿柴並非有罪的行為，也可能是為取暖或預備食物所必需的。但這事在安息日行之，便改變了整個行動的性質。安息日的律法既是明確而積極的誡命，這次的違犯便是明知而故意的罪，且有數項加重情節。因為這行為是在光天化日之下，公然無恥地作出，公然藐視神聖的權柄——與神之作為以色列這立約之民的宗教關係公然不相符——也是將神分別為聖歸給自己與嚴肅宗教本分的時間，濫用於不當的用途上。犯罪者被帶到官長面前，官長聽了這令人為難的報告，不知所措。他們在此案中竟感到為難，在安息日律法
（Ex 31:14）
面前似乎令人驚訝。他們的難處大概因這是此類案件的頭一次公開犯罪；而上訴可能是為了消除一切抱怨的藉口——為產生更顯著的效果，使這罪犯的結局成為警惕，以警告未來所有的以色列人。
Original em inglês
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. 耶和華對摩西說：總要把那人治死——耶和華是以色列的王，也是以色列的神；這罪既為國度律法的違犯，至高的審判主便下令將這人處死；而且，祂更要求全會眾一同執行這致命的判決。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
38. 吩咐他們在衣服邊上做繸子——這些是翼形的窄帶子，披搭在肩上和衣服的各處。然而，「繸子」是兩個不同《希伯來文》詞的英文翻譯——其一指窄垂邊或鑲邊，稱為「衣邊」或「縫邊」
（Mt 23:5； Lu 8:44），
為使其在眼中更為悅目，因而更符合所述目的，其上加了一條藍色，或更確切地說，紫色的帶子；另一詞指末端有穗的繩子，繫在衣服的四角上。這兩種都可見於埃及與亞述的長袍上；猶太人既受明確而重複的命令要佩帶這些，這風格在他們中間便用以喚起崇高而虔誠的聯想——使他們習慣性地記念神的誡命。
Original em inglês
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
Sem título
繁體中文
41. 我是耶和華你們的神——這莊嚴結語的含意是：祂雖因他們屢次的叛逆而不悅，並要判他們在曠野飄流四十年，卻不撇棄他們，仍要繼續祂神聖的保護與看顧，直到將他們領進應許之地。
Original em inglês
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.
各樣獻祭的律例
1, 2. 耶和華對摩西說：你曉諭以色列人——有人根據
Nu 15:23
推斷，這番曉諭的時間當定於曠野漂流的末期；並且認為律法中所規定的一切祭，都要等到進入迦南定居之後才獻。
