Deuteronomy 第 7 章

1

Deuteronomy 7:1

開啟正文

見 Deuteronomy 6:10 的註釋。

英文原文

See Deuteronomy 6:10 note.

5

Deuteronomy 7:5

開啟正文

他們的木偶——應譯作「他們的木造偶像」:所指的,乃是那用作亞斯她錄之表像的木柱;見 Deuteronomy 7:13 及 Exodus 34:13 的註釋。

英文原文

Their groves - Render, their idols of wood: the reference is to the wooden trunk used as a representation of Ashtaroth; see Deuteronomy 7:13 and Exodus 34:13 note.

Deuteronomy 7:7

開啟正文

在萬民中是最少的——地上當時雖已有眾多的民族和強盛的王國,神卻揀選了以色列歸他自己——那時它不過是單單一個家族,更確切地說,是單單一個人,亞伯拉罕。後來人數的增多(Deuteronomy 1:10;Deuteronomy 10:22),正是因著 Deuteronomy 7:8 所說的神的賜福而發生的。

英文原文

The fewest of all people - God chose for Himself Israel, when as yet but a single family, or rather a single person, Abraham; though there were already numerous nations and powerful kingdoms in the earth. Increase Deuteronomy 1:10; Deuteronomy 10:22 had taken place because of the very blessing of God spoken of in Deuteronomy 7:8.

Deuteronomy 7:10

開啟正文

向恨他的人當面報應他——就是說,神親自向祂仇敵的本人施罰。

英文原文

Repayeth them that hate him to their face - i. e., punishes His enemies in their own proper persons.

13

Deuteronomy 7:13

開啟正文

你的羊群——毋寧譯作「你羊群中的母羊」。這片語是申命記獨有的。譯作「母羊」的希伯來字,正是 1 Kings 11:5 中那廣為人知的「西頓人的女神」亞斯她錄之名的複數形。這位女神被古典作家稱為 Astarte,並被等同於 Venus,她代表自然的豐饒。

英文原文

Flocks of thy sheep - Render it instead: "the ewes of thy sheep." The phrase is unique to Deuteronomy. The Hebrew word for "ewes" is the plural form of Ashtoreth, the well-known name of the "goddess of the Zidonians" 1 Kings 11:5. This goddess, called by the Classical writers "Astarte," and identified with "Venus," represented the fruitfulness of nature.

15

Deuteronomy 7:15

開啟正文

這裏似乎與其說是指神藉奇蹟加於埃及的災殃(比較出 15:26),不如說是指埃及較其他國家更為肆虐的可怖疾病。比較申 28:27;申 28:35。埃及在聖經中代表與教會相對照的世界,它如此比其他各地更處於疾病與死亡的權下,這並非沒有意義。

英文原文

There seems to be here not so much as a reference to the plagues inflicted miraculously by God on Egypt (compare Exodus 15:26), as to the terrible diseases with which, above other countries, Egypt was infested. Compare Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35. It is not without significance that Egypt, which represents in Scripture the world as contrasted with the Church, should thus above other lands lie under the power of disease and death.

25

Deuteronomy 7:25

開啟正文

其上的金銀——指包裹神像的金銀。保羅在羅 2:22中大概正暗指這條命令;他對猶太人的這項指控表明,本段的禁令確實非常必要。

免得你陷入網羅——如基甸所造的那件貴重以弗得便成了網羅:比較邊註所引的參考經文。

英文原文

The silver or gold that is on them - The silver and gold with which the statues of the gods were overlaid. Paul is probably alluding to this command in Romans 2:22; and his accusation of the Jew thus shows that the prohibition of the text was very necessary.

Lest thou be snared - As by the rich ephod made by Gideon: compare the marginal reference.
