LINE OF THE PRIESTS.
5
無標題
5. 烏西——據推測，在他的日子裏，大祭司之職因未經記載的緣故，從以利亞撒家轉到了以他瑪家，並在那一家延續了好幾代。
英文原文
5. Uzzi--It is supposed that, in his days, the high priesthood was, for unrecorded reasons, transferred from Eleazar's family to Ithamar's, in which it continued for several generations.

10. 他在所羅門於耶路撒冷所建的殿裏，供了祭司的職分——這見證所指的是誰，是約哈難還是亞撒利雅，仍有疑問。若是前者，他就是耶何耶大，他曾作出重要的貢獻
(2Ki 11:1-20)；
若是後者，則是指他在抵抗烏西雅無理的僭越時所行的正直而有骨氣的作為
(2Ch 26:17)。
在所羅門於耶路撒冷所建的殿裏——如此特別地描述，是為要與第二聖殿區別；第二聖殿在本史書寫成之時仍然存在。
英文原文
10. he it is that executed the priest's office in the temple that Solomon built in Jerusalem--It is doubtful whether the person in favor of whom this testimony is borne be Johanan or Azariah. If the former, he is the same as Jehoiada, who rendered important public services
(2Ki 11:1-20);
if the latter, it refers to the worthy and independent part he acted in resisting the unwarrantable encroachments of Uzziah
(2Ch 26:17).
in the temple that Solomon built in Jerusalem--described in this particular manner to distinguish it from the second temple, which was in existence at the time when this history was written.

14. 亞撒利雅生西萊雅——他在耶路撒冷被毀之時擔任大祭司之職；他與他的副手等人，按尼布甲尼撒的命令在利比拉被處死
(2Ki 25:18, 21)。
第一聖殿時期從撒督算起共有十二位的大祭司世系，便在他身上終結。
英文原文
14. Azariah begat Seraiah--He filled the supreme pontifical office at the destruction of Jerusalem, and, along with his deputy and others, he was executed by Nebuchadnezzar's orders at Riblah
(2Ki 25:18, 21).
The line of high priests, under the first temple, which from Zadok amounted to twelve, terminated with him.

16-48. 利未的兒子：革順等——這種重複（參
1Ch 6:1）
之所以出現，是因為史家在此開始追溯非祭司的利未家族的家譜。這份名單很長，包括他們各家族的首領或族長，直到大衛年間；大衛按班次對他們作了新的、不同的分類。
英文原文
16-48. The sons of Levi; Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see
1Ch 6:1)
is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.

20. 西瑪他的兒子——他的孫子
(1Ch 6:42)。

(1Ch 6:36)。

27. 以利加拿——先知撒母耳的父親
(1Sa 1:1)。
英文原文
27. Elkanah--the father of the prophet Samuel
(1Sa 1:1).
28
無標題
28. 撒母耳的兒子——撒母耳的兒子在此被稱為瓦實尼和亞比亞。長子被稱為約珥
(1Sa 8:2)；
這名字也在
1Ch 6:33
中歸給他。如今一般最好的批評學者認為，由於抄寫者的錯誤，長子的名字被遺漏了，而瓦實尼並非人名，僅僅意為「第二個」。這項對經文的批判性修正，使一切既清楚，又與其他關於撒母耳家族的經文一致。
英文原文
28. the sons of Samuel--The sons of Samuel are here named Vashni and Abiah. The first-born is called Joel
(1Sa 8:2);
and this name is given to him in
1Ch 6:33.
It is now generally thought by the best critics that, through an error of the copyists, an omission has been made of the oldest son's name, and that Vashni, which is not the name of a person, merely signifies "and the second." This critical emendation of the text makes all clear, as well as consistent with other passages relating to the family of Samuel.

32. 在會幕前等——即在大衛為約櫃從俄別以東家搬移之後所支搭、用以安放約櫃的帳幕中
[2Sa 6:17]。
這距聖殿的建造還有相當長的時間。
按着班次盡自己的職分——這是大衛——無疑是受聖靈的指示——為更好地規範敬拜而設立的。
英文原文
32. before the dwelling-place, &c.--that is, in the tent which David had erected for receiving the ark after it was removed from the house of Obed-edom
[2Sa 6:17].
This was a considerable time before the temple was built.
they waited on their office according to their order--which David, doubtless by the direction of the Holy Spirit, had instituted for the better regulation of divine worship.

33. 示母利——即撒母耳。這是該希伯來名字的準確寫法。
英文原文
33. Shemuel--that is, Samuel. This is the exact representation of the Hebrew name.

39. 他的弟兄亞薩——他們天然是弟兄，二人都出自利未；在職任上也是弟兄，二人都屬於利未的等次。
英文原文
39. his brother Asaph--They were brothers naturally, both being descended from Levi, as well as officially, both being of the Levitical order.

(1Ch 9:16; 2Ch 35:15)。

英文原文
48. Their brethren also the Levites were appointed unto all manner of service--Those of them who were endowed with musical tastes and talents were employed in various other departments of the temple service.

1Ch 6:49-81.
1Ch 6:49-81.
亞倫和他兒子的職任。
49. 亞倫和他的子孫獻祭等——大祭司的職務既已描述過，那些相繼擔任這重要職務的人的名字便在此被記錄下來。
英文原文
1Ch 6:49-81.
OFFICE OF AARON AND HIS SONS.
49. But Aaron and his sons offered, &c.--The office and duties of the high priests having been already described, the names of those who successively filled that important office are recorded.

60. 十三座城——此處只列了十一座；但另有兩座在
(Jos 21:16, 17)
中被提及，這樣便湊足了十三座。
英文原文
60. thirteen cities--No more than eleven are named here; but two additional ones are mentioned
(Jos 21:16, 17),
which makes up the thirteen.

61. 哥轄其餘的子孫——即除了那屬於同一家族和利未支派的祭司之外。
按籤得了十座城——
(Jos 21:26)。
神聖的史家在
1Ch 6:66
作了解釋。
此處提及了其中八座，但只有兩座是從瑪拿西半支派中取出的
(1Ch 6:70)。
另外兩座的名字見於
(Jos 21:21)，
在那裏可以找到這些安排的完整詳細記載。
英文原文
61. unto the sons of Kohath, which were left--that is, in addition to the priests belonging to the same family and tribe of Levi.
by lot, ten cities--
(Jos 21:26).
The sacred historian gives an explanation
(1Ch 6:66).
Eight of these are mentioned, but only two of them are taken out of the half tribe of Manasseh
(1Ch 6:70).
The names of the other two are given
(Jos 21:21),
where full and detailed notices of these arrangements may be found.

67-81. 他們將逃城給了他們——此處所列城邑的名字，與
Jos 21:13-19
中所用的名稱大有不同。在數世紀的流逝和社會的變遷中，這些城邑的名字在形式或方言發音上有所變化，本是意料中事；這便足以解釋此處與較早期書卷中所列名單的差異。至於分派給利未人的這些城邑本身，它們彼此相隔甚遠——一方面是應驗雅各的預言
(Ge 49:7)，
另一方面也使全國各地都能得到足夠的教師，教導百姓認識律法，並激勵他們遵守；這律法對促進他們個人的幸福和國家的繁榮，都有極其重要的影響。
英文原文
67-81. they gave unto them of the cities of refuge--The names of the cities given here are considerably different from those applied to them
(Jos 21:13-19).
In the lapse of centuries, and from the revolutions of society, changes might have been expected to take place in the form or dialectic pronunciation of the names of those cities; and this will sufficiently account for the variations that are found in the lists as enumerated here and in an earlier book. As to these cities themselves that were assigned to the Levites, they were widely remote and separated--partly in fulfilment of Jacob's prophecy
(Ge 49:7),
and partly that the various districts of the country might obtain a competent supply of teachers who might instruct the people in the knowledge, and animate them to the observance, of a law which had so important a bearing on the promotion both of their private happiness and their national prosperity.
