平安祭的条例

The Law of the Peace Offering
1读经:利未记七章十一至三十八节。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 7:11-38
2平安祭的条例是很长的条例,论到对基督的享受。没有基督徒会想到,享受基督还要这样受规律。新旧约都有警告,论到不当或不法的享受基督。林前十一章十七节说,我们聚在一起,不是受益,乃是招损。二十七节说,『所以无论何人,不配的吃主的饼,喝主的杯,就是得罪主的身体和主的血了。』二十九节说到『那吃喝的,若不分辨那身体,就是给自己吃喝审判了。』在此我们看见,新约的话比旧约的话更严肃。我们现在来看,与平安祭有关的一些条例。
2The law of the peace offering is a long law concerning the enjoyment of Christ. No Christian would ever imagine that the enjoyment of Christ would be so regulated. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament have warnings concerning the improper, or lawless, enjoyment of Christ. First Corinthians 11:17 says that we could meet together not for the better but for the worse. Verse 27 says, “Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.” Verse 29 speaks of the one who “eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the body.” Here we see that the word in the New Testament is more solemn than that in the Old Testament. Let us now consider a number of points related to the law of the peace offering
3壹为感谢献的平安祭,要用调油的无酵饼和抹油的无酵薄饼,并细面调匀了油作的饼为
3I. THE PEACE OFFERING FOR THANKSGIVING BEING OFFERED WITH THE MEAL OFFERING OF UNLEAVENED CAKES MINGLED WITH OIL, UNLEAVENED WAFERS ANOINTED WITH OIL, AND
素祭,一同献上
CAKES OF FINE FLOUR SATURATED. MINGLED WITH OIL
4第一种平安祭乃是为感谢献的平安祭。在各种不同的平安祭中,这是最软弱的一种。论到这种平安祭,利未记七章十二节说,『他若是为感谢献的,就要用调油的无酵饼和抹油的无酵薄饼,并细面调匀了油作的饼,与感谢祭一同献上。』这表征我们在祂行为上所享受,那作素祭的基督,(无论是无罪的与那灵调和,或是无罪的有那灵膏抹,或是被那灵浸透、柔细的一位,)乃是我们的平安祭,祂被钉在十字架上,流出血来,(西一20,)使我们将感谢归给神。
4The first kind of peace offering is the peace offering for thanksgiving. Of all the different peace offerings, this one is the weakest. Concerning this kind of peace offering, Leviticus 7:12 says, “If he offers it for thanksgiving, then with the thanksgiving sacrifice he shall offer unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes of fine flour saturated, mingled with oil.” This signifies that Christ, whether mingled with the Spirit without sin, or anointed with the Spirit without sin, or as the fine One saturated with the Spirit, as the meal offering in our enjoyment of Him in His conduct, is our peace offering, crucified with the shedding of His blood on the cross (Col. 1:20), in our thanksgiving to God
5贰要用有酵饼,同著为感谢
5II. WITH THE PEACE OFFERING FOR THANKSGIVING CAKES OF LEAVENED BREAD BEING OFFERED
献的平安祭,献上供物
6『他要用有酵饼,同著为感谢而献的平安祭,献上供物。』(利七。)这表征献祭的人,虽然享受基督这无罪的一位,却仍然有罪。
6“With the thanksgiving sacrifice of his peace offering, he shall offer his offering with cakes of leavened bread” (v. 13). This signifies that the offerer, though 13 enjoying Christ as the One without sin, still has sin.
7为著感谢献的平安祭所以是最软弱的平安祭,乃因牠包含酵。这指明献祭的人仍然有罪,是在软弱的光景中。
7The reason the peace offering for thanksgiving is the weakest kind of peace offering is that it includes leaven. This indicates that the offerer still has sin and is therefore in a weak condition.
8参在素祭中,献祭的人要从每一供物中取一个饼作献给耶和华的举祭,这要归给献平安祭的祭司
8III. FROM THE MEAL OFFERING THE OFFERER OFFERING ONE PIECE FROM EACH OFFERING AS A HEAVE OFFERING TO JEHOVAH, AND IT BEING FOR THE PRIEST WHO OFFERS THE PEACE OFFERING
9『他要从每一供物中取一个饼作献给耶和华的举祭,这饼要归给泼平安祭牲之血的祭司。』(利七14。)这有双重的意义。首先,举祭既是在祂升天里的豫表,这就表征在各面作素祭的基督,乃是在升天里献给神的一位。其次,这表征这样一位基督,乃是给那将基督供应为平安祭的人作食物,给他们有分于并享受的。当我们将升天的基督供应给人时,就有分于我们所供应的这位基督。
9And from it he shall offer one from each offering as a heave offering to Jehovah; it shall be for the priest who dashes the blood of the peace offering” (v. 14). This has a twofold significance. First, since the heave offering is a type of Christ in His ascension, this signifies that Christ as the meal offering in all His aspects is offered to God as the One in ascension. Second, this signifies that such a Christ is partaken of and enjoyed as food by the one who ministers Christ as the peace offering. When we minister the ascended Christ to others, we partake of the very Christ whom we minister
10肆为感谢而献平安祭牲的肉,要在献的日子吃,一点不可留到早晨
10IV. THE FLESH OF THE THANKSGIVING SACRIFICE OF THE PEACE OFFERING BEING EATEN ON THE OFFERING DAY AND NO PART OF IT BEING LAID ASIDE UNTIL MORNING
11『为感谢而献平安祭牲的肉,要在献的日子吃,一点不可留到早晨。』(利七15。)这表征这种祭维持的能力很小,必须在献的日子完全享受,我们经历并享受基督的这一面,应该天天都是新鲜的。
11The flesh of the thanksgiving sacrifice of his peace offering shall be eaten on the day it is offered; he shall not lay aside any of it until morning” (v. 15). This signifies that the maintaining power of this kind of offering is rather small, that it has to be fully enjoyed on the offering day, and that our experience and enjoyment of Christ in this aspect should be fresh daily
12我们可能感谢神,向祂献上平安祭。就在这平安祭里,我们在神面前享受基督。不过,为著感谢献的平安祭是个比较弱的祭,其享受不能延续到第二天。这祭持续的能力不大。
12We may be thankful to God and offer Him a peace offering. This is an offering in which we enjoy Christ in God’s presence. However, the peace offering for thanksgiving is a weaker offering, and its enjoyment cannot be carried from one day to the next. The lasting power of this offering is not great
13伍所献的祭,若是为还愿或甘心献的,要在献祭的日子吃,所剩下的第二天可以吃
13V. THE SACRIFICE OF THE OFFERING, AS A VOW OR A FREEWILL OFFERING, BEING EATEN ON THE OFFERING
DAY AND THE REMAINDER ON THE NEXT DAY
14『但他所献的祭若是为还愿或甘心献的,就要在献祭的日子吃,所剩下的第二天可以吃。』(利七。)这表征为还愿或甘心献的平安祭,其维持的能力比为感谢献的强,可以在献的日子吃,也可以在第二天吃所剩下的。这表征我们对基督较强的享受能维持较久。我们献的祭较强,我们对这祭的享受也会较久。
14“But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day the remainder of it may be eaten” (v. 16). This signifies that the maintaining 16 power of the peace offering for a vow or a freewill offering is stronger than that for thanksgiving, that it should be eaten on the offering day, and that our stronger enjoyment of Christ could last longer. If our offering is stronger, our enjoyment of this offering will last longer.
15陆第三天吃这祭牲的肉,必不蒙悦纳,这祭牲乃是可憎之
15VI. THE FLESH OF THIS OFFERING EATEN ON THE THIRD DAY NOT BEING ACCEPTED BUT BEING AN ABHORRENT
物,吃的人必被定罪
THING, AND THE EATER BEING CONDEMNED
16『若在第三天吃了平安祭牲的肉,这祭就不蒙悦纳,不算为所献之人的祭,而成了可憎之物,吃的人要担当他的罪孽。』(利七18。)这表征我们享受基督的经历若是老旧的,必不讨神喜悦,与神也是不对的。不法的享受基督,在神看是可憎的。所以在林前十一章,保罗警告我们,来赴主的筵席必须谨慎。
16If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted; it shall not be accounted to him who offered it. It shall be an abhorrent thing, and the person who eats of it shall bear his iniquity” (v. 18). This signifies that our enjoyment of Christ in its oldness shall not be pleasant to God and not right with Him. The lawless enjoyment of Christ is abhorrent to God. Therefore, in 1 Corinthians 11 Paul warns us that in coming to the Lord’stable, we must be careful
17柒碰著任何不洁之物的祭
17
肉,都不可吃,要用火焚烧
VII. THE FLESH OF THIS OFFERING TOUCHING ANYTHING UNCLEAN NOT BEING EATEN BUT BURNED WITH FIRE
18『碰著任何不洁之物的肉,都不可吃,要用火焚烧。』(利七19上。)这表征享受基督作我们的平安,应当远离一切的不洁。
18The flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire” (v. 19a). This signifies that the enjoyment of Christ as our peace should be kept from all uncleanness
19捌未沾染污秽之平安祭牲的肉,凡洁净的人都可以吃
19VIII. THE FLESH OF THE PEACE OFFERING WHICH HAS NOT TOUCHED ANYTHING UNCLEAN BEING
EATEN BY THE PERSON WHO IS CLEAN
20『至于别的肉,凡洁净的人都可以吃。』(利七19下。)这表征享受基督作我们的平安,不仅应当远离一切的不洁,吃的人也该是洁净的。
20And as for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat of it” (v. 19b). This signifies that the enjoyment of Christ as our peace should not only be kept from all uncleanness but should also be eaten by a clean person
21玖不洁净的人吃了属于耶和华的平安祭,必从民中剪除
21IX. AN UNCLEAN PERSON WHO EATS THE FLESH OF THE PEACE OFFERINGS THAT BELONG TO
JEHOVAH BEING CUT OFF FROM HIS PEOPLE
22『但是人吃了那属于耶和华平安祭牲的肉,却身上不洁净,那人必从民中剪除。人摸著甚么不洁之物,无论是人的不洁,或是不洁的兽,或是不洁的可憎之物,而吃了那属于耶和华平安祭的肉,那人必从民中剪除。』(利七20~21。)这表征不洁净的人若有分于基督作他的平安,就如赴主的筵席,(林前十16~17节,)他必从享受主的交通中被除去。(参林前五13下。)不洁净的人就是有罪的人。这样的人该从主筵席的交通中除去。
22“But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to Jehovah while his uncleanness is upon him, that person shall be cut off from his people. And when a person touches anything unclean, whether the uncleanness of man, or an unclean beast, or any unclean abomination, and then eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to Jehovah, that person shall be cut off from his people” (vv. 20-21). This signifies that the unclean person who partakes of Christ as his peace, as at the Lord’stable (1 Cor. 10:16-17), shall be put aside from the fellowship of the enjoyment of Christ (cf. 1 Cor. 5:13b). An unclean person is a sinful person. Such a person should be removed from the fellowship at the Lord’stable.
拾以色列人不可吃牛、绵羊或山羊的脂油
X. THE SONS OF ISRAEL NOT EATING ANY FAT OF AN OX, A SHEEP, OR A GOAT
23『凡是牛、绵羊、山羊的脂油,你们都不可以吃。』(利七23。)这表征以色列人在他们日常吃的事上,该顾到神的食物,就如牛、绵羊或山羊的脂油所指明的,这些脂油表征基督的人位柔和、优美和超越的部分。
23You shall not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat” (Lev. 7:23). This signifies that in their daily living the sons of Israel should consider God’s food, as indicated by the fat of the ox, sheep, and goat, which fat signifies the tender, fine, and excellent part of the person of Christ
24这是很重要的事。我们是祭司,在我们吃的事上,要顾到神的食物,我们不该吃脂油,那是神的分。我们执行祭司事奉的时候,是在服事神,所以不该顾到自己的事,乃该顾到神的事。脂油,供物中上好的分,不该给祭司吃,乃该献给神,让神满足。
24This matter is crucial. As priests, in our eating we need to be concerned about God’s food and should not eat the fat, which is God’sport i on. When we are practicing our priestly service, we are serving God, and we should consider not our own things but God’st hings. The fat, the top portion of the offerings, must not be eaten by the priests but must be offered to God for His satisfaction
25拾壹自己死的,以及野兽撕裂的牲畜,以色列人不可吃其
25X I . THE FAT OF CATTLE WHICH DIED OF THEMSELVES OR WERE TORN BY BEASTS NOT EATEN
脂油,但可作别的用处
BY THE SONS OF ISRAEL BUT PUT TO OTHER USES
26『自己死的,以及野兽撕裂的,其脂油可作别的用处,只是你们万不可吃。』(利七24。)这表征死的污秽,破坏了神享受基督的意义。神恨恶死亡,不愿看到任何与死有关的事。
26The fat of that which dies of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you shall certainly not eat it” (v. 24). This signifies that the dirtiness of death spoils the significance of God’s enjoyment of Christ. God hates death and does not want to look upon anything related to it
27拾贰凡吃了献给耶和华之火祭的脂油,必从民中剪除
27XII. WHOEVER EATS THE FAT OF AN OFFERING BY FIRE OFFERED TO JEHOVAH BEING CUT OFF FROM HIS PEOPLE
28『因为凡吃了献给耶和华为火祭之牲畜的脂油的,吃的人必从民中剪除。』(利七25。)这表征我们这些享受基督作献给神之供物的人,该把基督人位超越的部分保留给神,使我们不至于从享受基督的交通中被除去。这享受基督的交通是指擘饼聚会。在擘饼聚会中,我们有享受基督的交通。
28Whoever eats the fat of a beast from which an offering by fire is offered to Jehovah, the person who eats shall be cut off from his people” (v. 25). This signifies that we who enjoy Christ as our offering to God should keep the excellent part of the person of Christ for God that we might not be put aside from the fellowship of the enjoyment of Christ. This fellowship of the enjoyment of Christ refers to the Lord’stable. At the Lord’stable, we have the fellowship of the enjoyment of Christ
29拾参以色列人不可吃鸟或兽
29XIII. THE BLOOD, WHETHER OF BIRD OR OF BEAST, NOT EATEN BY THE SONS OF ISRAEL
的血
30『无论你们住在何处,凡是鸟或兽的血,你们都不可以吃。』(利七26。)这表征为著我们的救赎,我们只该取用耶稣的血。(约六53~56,来九12。)
30Moreover, wherever you dwell you shall not eat any blood, whether of bird or of beast” (v. 26). This signifies that only the blood of Jesus should be taken by us for our redemption (John 6:53-56; Heb. 9:12
31拾肆凡吃了任何血的人,那
31XIV. ANY PERSON WHO EATS ANY BLOOD BEING CUT OFF FROM HIS PEOPLE
人必从民中剪除
32『凡吃了任何血的人,那人必从民中剪除。』(利七27。)这表征凡把基督的血看作俗物的,必从享受基督的交通中除去。我们必须把基督的血看作特殊、特别且珍贵的。我们若吃其他的血,就使基督的血成为凡俗的。这乃是罪。
32“Any person who eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people” (v. 27). This signifies that anyone who regards the blood of Christ as a common thing shall be put aside from the fellowship of the enjoyment of Christ. We must regard the blood of Christ as special, particular, and precious. If we eat other blood, we make the blood of Christ common. This is sin.
33拾伍献平安祭牲的人要从他的供物中带些来,献给耶和华当作火祭,脂油要烧在祭坛上归给神,胸要在耶和华面前作
33XV. THE OFFERER OF THE PEACE OFFERING BRINGING PARTS OF HIS OFFERING FOR THE OFFERINGS OF JEHOVAH BY FIRE, THE FAT BURNED TO GOD BY FIRE ON THE ALTAR WITH THE BREAST AS A WAVE OFFERING
摇祭归给亚伦和他的子孙
BEFORE JEHOVAH FOR AARON AND HIS SONS
34『那献平安祭牲给耶和华的,要从他的平安祭牲中把供物带给耶和华:他要亲手把火祭献给耶和华;他要把脂油和胸带来,好把胸摇在耶和华面前作摇祭。祭司要把脂油在祭坛上熏著献上,但胸要归给亚伦和他的子孙。』(利七29~。)这表征我们这些以基督为平安祭的,该把基督超越的部分(脂油)献给神作神的满足,并把基督在祂复活里爱的部分(胸),给事奉的人享受。
34“He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Jehovah shall bring his offering to Jehovah from the sacrifice of his peace offerings: his own hands shall bring the offerings of Jehovah by fire; he shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before Jehovah. And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar; but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons” (vv. 29-31). This signifies 31 that we who take Christ as our peace offering should offer the excellent part of Christ (the fat) to God for His satisfaction, with the loving part of Christ (the breast) in resurrection for the serving ones’ enjoyment.
35摇祭是指在复活里的基督。平安祭上好的部分是为著神的,要用火焚烧归给神。爱的部分,就是胸,要归给我们这些事奉的人,作我们的享受。
35The wave offering refers to Christ in His resurrection. The top part of the peace offering is for God; it is burned by fire and goes to God. The loving part, the breast, is allotted to us, the serving ones, for our enjoyment
36拾陆平安祭牲的右腿要给祭
36XVI. THE RIGHT THIGH OF THE PEACE OFFERING GIVEN TO THE PRIEST AS A HEAVE OFFERING
司作举祭
37『你们要从平安祭牲中,把右腿给祭司作举祭。亚伦子孙中献平安祭牲的血和脂油的要得这右腿为分。』(利七32~33。)这表征基督在升天里力量的部分(右腿),是给事奉的人作他享受的分。
37The right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. He from among Aaron’ss ons who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, he shall have the right thigh for a portion” (vv. 32-33). This signifies that the part of strength of Christ (the right thigh) in His ascension is given to the serving one as a portion for his enjoyment
38二十九至三十三节启示,上好的部分,就是脂油,要归给神;爱的部分,就是胸,以及力量的部分,就是右腿,要归给事奉的人。我们越供应基督作平安祭,越把基督作平安祭献给神,就越有基督爱的度量和加强的能力。这样,我们就更刚强,也更满了爱。
38Verses 29 through 33 reveal that the top part, the fat, goes to God and that the loving part, the breast, and also the part of strength, the right thigh, go to the serving ones. The more we minister Christ as the peace offering and the more we offer Christ as the peace offering to God, the more we will have the loving capacity and the strengthening power of Christ. In this way, we become stronger and more loving
39拾柒耶和华从平安祭中,取了摇祭的胸和举祭的腿,给祭司作他们永得的分
39XVII. JEHOVAH HAVING TAKEN THE BREAST OF THE WAVE OFFERING AND THE THIGH OF THE HEAVE OFFERING OUT OF THE PEACE OFFERINGS AND HAVING GIVEN THEM TO THE PRIESTS AS THEIR PERPETUAL DUE
40『我从以色列人的平安祭牲中,取了摇祭的胸和举祭的腿,给祭司亚伦和他的子孙,作他们从以色列人永得的分。』(利七。)这表征神在我们享受基督作平安祭中,已经把基督爱的度量和加强的能力,分给我们这些新约的祭司,作我们事奉神所享受的永分。
40“I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering from the sons of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their perpetual due from the sons of Israel” (v. 34). This signifies that 34 God has allotted, in our enjoyment of Christ as the peace offering, the loving capacity and the strengthening power of Christ to us, the New Testament priests, as our eternal portion for our enjoyment in serving God.
41拾捌这是从耶和华的火祭中,亚伦和他子孙受膏的分,在他们被带来作祭司事奉耶和
41XVIII. THIS BEING THE PORTION OF THE ANOINTING OF AARON AND HIS SONS FROM THE OFFERINGS OF JEHOVAH BY FIRE IN THE DAY WHEN THEY WERE
华的日子给的
BROUGHT TO SERVE JEHOVAH AS PRIESTS
42『这是从耶和华的火祭中,亚伦受膏的分,并他子孙受膏的分,在他们被带来作祭司事奉耶和华的日子给的。这些是在他膏他们的日子,耶和华吩咐从以色列人中赐给他们的;这是他们世世代代永得的分。』(利七35~36。)这表征享受基督爱的度量和加强的能力,与神膏我们作祭司供职有关。我们已为神所膏,成为祭司,神已将基督爱的度量和加强的能力分给我们。因此,我们能爱,也能站立作祭司事奉。
42This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron and of the anointing of his sons from the offerings of Jehovah by fire, in the day when they were brought to serve Jehovah as priests. These Jehovah commanded to be given to them from the sons of Israel in the day when he anointed them; it is their perpetual due throughout their generations” (vv. 35-36). This signifies that the enjoyment of Christ’s loving capacity and strengthening power is related to God’s anointing of us for our priesthood. We have been anointed by God to be priests, and God has allotted to us Christ’s loving capacity and strengthening power. Hence, we can love and stand to serve God as priests
43拾玖这是燔祭、素祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭、承受圣职和平安
43XIX . THIS BEING THE LAW FOR THE BURNT OFFERING, THE MEAL OFFERING, THE SIN OFFERING
the sacrifice of peace offerings
44『这是燔祭、素祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭、承接圣职和平安祭的条例。就是耶和华在西乃山所吩咐摩西的,是祂在西乃旷野吩咐以色列人献供物给耶和华之日说的。』(利七37~38。)这表征我们承接祭司的职任,必须有包罗万有的基督作全部五种供物,也必须照著这五种供物的条例。
44“This is the law for the burnt offering, the meal offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecration offering, and the sacrifice of peace offerings, which Jehovah commanded Moses at Mount Sinai, in the day when He commanded the sons of Israel to offer their offerings to Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai” (vv. 37-38). This signifies that our consecration for the priesthood must be with the all-inclusive Christ as all the five offerings and according to their regulations.
45三十七节把五种祭和承接圣职摆在一起,这指明五种祭乃是为著承接圣职的。在承接圣职的时候,神将这些供物的各面,分配给祭司享受。我们在一至五章看见,这些供物有特别的次序:燔祭、素祭、平安祭、赎罪祭和赎愆祭。这记载不是照著道理,乃是照著实际的经历。但在颁布五种祭的条例时,次序却大大更改了。这里燔祭的条例在先,接著是素祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭和平安祭的条例。后者的次序是照著神经纶的整个图画。在神的心里,祂的心愿是要基督作我们的四种祭:燔祭、素祭、赎罪祭和赎愆祭。燔祭是赎罪祭的资格,素祭是赎愆祭的资格。这四种供物,两种是为著资格,两种是为著结果。赎罪祭和赎愆祭是为著特别的结果。当这四种祭进行的时候,结果就是平安。这平安乃是神所要的。神的心是要我们享受祂那围绕著祂儿子基督的经纶。基督是我们的燔祭、素祭、赎罪祭和赎愆祭,使我们可以享受祂作平安。在我们的感谢、许愿、和甘心祭里,我们享受基督作我们与神的平安。这乃是神经纶总和的记载。
45Our text (v. 37) uses the term “the consecration offering.” Actually, this should simply be “the consecration.” There is not here a sixth offering called the consecration offering. Rather, the five offerings are for the consecration. At the time of consecration, God assigned these offerings, in different aspects, for the priests’ enjoyment. We have seen that in chapters one through five, the offerings are in a particular sequence: the burnt offering, the meal offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. This record is not according to doctrine but according to our practical experience. But in giving the laws of the five offerings, the sequence has changed greatly. Here the law of the burnt offering is first, followed by the law of the meal offering, of the sin offering, of the trespass offering, and of the peace offering. This latter sequence is according to the total picture of God’s economy. In God’s he art and in His desire, God would have Christ to be four kinds of offerings to us—the burnt offering, the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. The burnt offering is the qualification for the sin offering, and the meal offering is the qualification for the trespass offering. With these four offerings, two are for the qualification, and two are for the result. The sin offering and the trespass offering are for a particular result. When these four offerings are in action, the result is peace. This peace is what God desires. God’she art is that we would enjoy His economy around His Son, Christ. Christ is our burnt offering, meal offering, sin offering, and trespass offering so that we may enjoy Him as peace. In our thanksgiving, in our vows, and in our freewill offerings, we enjoy Christ as our peace with God. This is the record of the totality of God’secon o my.
46在利未记一至七章,我们有两种记载:照著经历的记载,与照著神经纶总和的记载。四种祭:燔祭、素祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭,全都是给我们在各面享受基督作我们与神的平安的。
46In Leviticus 1—7 we have two records: a record according to experience and a record according to God’secon o my in its totality. The four offerings—the burnt offering, the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering—are all for us to enjoy Christ as our peace with God in every way
