Deuteronomy 第 18 章

1

De 18:1-8.

打开经文

申 18:1-8。

耶和华是祭司利未人的产业。

1. 祭司利未人……应当吃献祭之物——利未支派不像其他支派那样分得地业,而是全然分别出来承担祭司的职任,因此他们的供养要出于十分之一、初熟的果子,以及坛上所献祭物的某些部分。这些祭物神藉着明确的命定归给自己,在献上之后,便赐给祂的仆人。

英文原文

De 18:1-8.

THE LORD IS THE PRIESTS' AND THE LEVITES' INHERITANCE.

1. The priests the Levites . . . shall eat the offerings--As the tribe of Levi had no inheritance allotted them like the other tribes but were wholly consecrated to the priestly office, their maintenance was to arise from tithes, first-fruits, and certain portions of the oblations presented on the altar, which God having by express appointment reserved to Himself made over, after being offered, to His ministers.

3. 祭司从百姓所当得的分乃是这——凡献感恩祭或平安祭的

(利 7:31-33)

都要将胸和腿作为当得的份给祭司。此处则指定了"两腮"(即头部)和"胃"(古时视为美味)。但这究竟是一项新规定,还是旧律法的重申并增补细节,则不易断定。

英文原文

3. this shall be the priest's due from the people--All who offered sacrifices of thanksgiving or peace offerings

(Le 7:31-33)

were ordered to give the breast and shoulder as perquisites to the priests. Here "the two cheeks" or head and "the maw" or stomach, deemed anciently a great dainty, are specified. But whether this is a new injunction, or a repetition of the old with the supplement of more details, it is not easy to determine.

6-8. 利未人……心里渴想而来——看来利未人从最早期就是轮班事奉的;但由于他们人数众多,实际能被征召服役的间隔颇长。然而,若有利未人受卓越敬虔之心所感,决意将自己全然、持续地奉献于圣所的神圣职事,他便可实现其热切的愿望;他既被接纳分担工作,也就分担薪酬。他或可有私产,但这并不构成扣留甚至减少他供养之理由,他要与其他事奉的祭司一样得着供养。此规定的理由或原则显而易见

(林前 9:13)。

同时,虽然为接纳这样热心克己的职员提供了一切便利,但这种接纳仍当在秩序中进行:他要"像他的众弟兄一样"事奉——即革顺人随革顺人;米拉利人随米拉利人;这样已立的班次才不致紊乱。

英文原文

6-8. if a Levite . . . come with all the desire of his mind--It appears that the Levites served in rotation from the earliest times; but, from their great numbers, it was only at infrequent intervals they could be called into actual service. Should any Levite, however, under the influence of eminent piety, resolve to devote himself wholly and continually to the sacred duties of the sanctuary, he was allowed to realize his ardent wishes; and as he was admitted to a share of the work, so also to a share of the remuneration. Though he might have private property, that was to form no ground for withholding or even diminishing his claim to maintenance like the other ministering priests. The reason or principle of the enactment is obvious

(1Co 9:13).

At the same time, while every facility was afforded for the admission of such a zealous and self-denying officer, this admission was to be in an orderly manner: he was to minister "as all his brethren"--that is, a Gershonite with Gershonites; a Merarite with Merarites; so that there might be no derangement of the established courses.

申 18:9-14.

列国的可憎之事当远避。

9-14. 你不可学着照那些国民所行可憎的事去行——(参

利 18:21;

利 19:26;

利 19:31;

利 20:4)。

尽管有这一明确禁令,迦南人——尤其非利士人——仍因他们的占卜和迷信行为,成为以色列人不断的网罗和绊脚石。

英文原文

De 18:9-14.

THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE NATIONS ARE TO BE AVOIDED.

9-14. thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations--(See on

Le 18:21;

Le 19:26;

Le 19:31;

Le 20:4).

In spite of this express command, the people of Canaan, especially the Philistines, were a constant snare and stumbling block to the Israelites, on account of their divinations and superstitious practices.

打开经文

申 18:15-19.

基督为先知当听从。

15-19. 耶和华你的神要从你们弟兄中间兴起一位先知——这一应许插入在上述禁令的关联之中,或可(如某些人所行)应用于神所差遣、代代相继以教导、引导并警告祂百姓的那一系列真先知;按此观点,其要旨是:"无须求问占卜者与观兆者,因我将赐你们以神所立先知之利,至于判断其凭据,也赐有可靠的准则"

(申 18:20-22)。

但此处所应许的先知,首要地是指弥赛亚,因为唯独祂"像摩西"(参

申 34:10)

"在祂中保的职事上;在祂事奉独特的卓越上;在祂神迹的数量、种类与规模上;在祂与神亲密的相交上;以及在祂作为新的宗教时代的创立者上"。这一预言一千五百年后应验,并蒙彼得

(徒 3:22, 23)

和司提反

(徒 7:37)

明确应用于耶稣基督。

英文原文

De 18:15-19.

CHRIST THE PROPHET IS TO BE HEARD.

15-19. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet--The insertion of this promise, in connection with the preceding prohibition, might warrant the application (which some make of it) to that order of true prophets whom God commissioned in unbroken succession to instruct, to direct, and warn His people; and in this view the purport of it is, "There is no need to consult with diviners and soothsayers, as I shall afford you the benefit of divinely appointed prophets, for judging of whose credentials a sure criterion is given"

(De 18:20-22).

But the prophet here promised was pre-eminently the Messiah, for He alone was "like unto Moses" (see on

De 34:10)

"in His mediatorial character; in the peculiar excellence of His ministry; in the number, variety, and magnitude of His miracles; in His close and familiar communion with God; and in His being the author of a new dispensation of religion." This prediction was fulfilled fifteen hundred years afterwards and was expressly applied to Jesus Christ by Peter

(Ac 3:22, 23),

and by Stephen

(Ac 7:37).
