Ge 22:1-19.

打开经文

Ge 22:1-19.

献以撒。

1. 神试验亚伯拉罕——并非引诱人犯罪

(Jas 1:13),

而是试炼、考验——即给他信心的彰显以机会

(1Pe 1:7)。

他说……我在这里——一蒙召便随时预备好服事神。

英文原文

Ge 22:1-19.

OFFERING ISAAC.

1. God did tempt Abraham--not incite to sin

(Jas 1:13),

but try, prove--give occasion for the development of his faith

(1Pe 1:7).

and he said, . . . Here I am--ready at a moment's warning for God's service.

2. 你带着你的儿子,等——所提的每一情节,都足以更深地刺痛为父的心。要失去他独生的儿子,且是亲手而行——这道命令必然唤起多少矛盾的情感!但他毫无怨言地听从并顺服了

(Ga 1:16; Lu 14:26)。

英文原文

2. Take now thy son, &c.--Every circumstance mentioned was calculated to give a deeper stab to the parental bosom. To lose his only son, and by an act of his own hand, too!--what a host of conflicting feelings must the order have raised! But he heard and obeyed without a murmur

(Ga 1:16; Lu 14:26).

3. 亚伯拉罕清早起来,等——为免得自己显出迟延或不情愿,他在出发之前便为献祭预备了一切——材料、刀,以及搬运材料的仆人。从别是巴到摩利亚地有两日的路程,他一路把这痛苦的奥秘闷在胸中。这样远的一处地方,必因某种重要的理由才被选定。一般以为这是耶路撒冷的诸山之一,后来那伟大的祭物便在那里献上。

英文原文

3. Abraham rose . . . early, &c.--That there might be no appearance of delay or reluctance on his part, he made every preparation for the sacrifice before setting out--the materials, the knife, and the servants to convey them. From Beer-sheba to Moriah, a journey of two days, he had the painful secret pent up in his bosom. So distant a place must have been chosen for some important reason. It is generally thought that this was one the hills of Jerusalem, on which the Great Sacrifice was afterwards offered.

4. 第三日亚伯拉罕举目,等——把仆人留在山下

[Ge 22:5],

父子二人上了山,一个拿着刀,一个拿着烧祭的柴

[Ge 22:6]。

但没有祭牲;对以撒所自然提出的问题

[Ge 22:7],

亚伯拉罕只以“我儿,神必自己预备作燔祭的羊羔”回答。有人以为这次非同寻常的事件,是要用行动而非言语指示他,地上万族将如何得福;又以为他在回答以撒时,已预感某种替代。更可能的是,他的话是对儿子含糊而发的,他虽不知结局,却有无限的信心,相信那儿子即使被献为祭,也必以某种神奇方式得回

(Heb 11:19)。

英文原文

4. on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, &c.--Leaving the servants at the foot

[Ge 22:5],

the father and son ascended the hill, the one bearing the knife, and the other the wood for consuming the sacrifice

[Ge 22:6].

But there was no victim; and to the question so naturally put by Isaac

[Ge 22:7],

Abraham contented himself by replying, "My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering." It has been supposed that the design of this extraordinary transaction was to show him, by action instead of words, the way in which all the families of the earth should be blessed; and that in his answer to Isaac, he anticipated some substitution. It is more likely that his words were spoken evasively to his son in ignorance of the issue, yet in unbounded confidence that that son, though sacrificed, would, in some miraculous way, be restored

(Heb 11:19).

9. 亚伯拉罕筑坛,等——若非这位列祖因完全自觉是照神旨而行得了扶持,这努力对人的忍受力而言必太大;若非已年过二十的以撒表现出同等的信心而顺服,这大试炼也无法通过。

英文原文

9. Abraham built an altar, &c.--Had not the patriarch been sustained by the full consciousness of acting in obedience to God's will, the effort would have been too great for human endurance; and had not Isaac, then upwards of twenty years of age displayed equal faith in submitting, this great trial could not have gone through.

11, 12. 耶和华的使者……呼叫,等——祭物实际上已经献上——意图、目的都已在最完全的真诚和充足中显明。那位无所不知的见证者也以最高的赞许之词宣告了他的悦纳;使徒也论到这事如同实际作了

(Heb 11:17; Jas 2:21)。

英文原文

11, 12. the angel . . . called, &c.--The sacrifice was virtually offered--the intention, the purpose to do it, was shown in all sincerity and fulness. The Omniscient witness likewise declared His acceptance in the highest terms of approval; and the apostle speaks of it as actually made

(Heb 11:17; Jas 2:21).

13-19. 亚伯拉罕举目……观看,见……一只公羊,等——没有什么方法比这情景的展示更能给这位列祖对恩典的目的以清楚的概念;因此我们的主论到这事

(Joh 8:56)。

英文原文

13-19. Abraham lifted up his eyes . . . and behold . . . a ram, &c.--No method was more admirably calculated to give the patriarch a distinct idea of the purpose of grace than this scenic representation: and hence our Lord's allusion to it

(Joh 8:56).
