利未记生命读经 · 第40篇

从人里面发出的不洁（二）

Uncleanness Issuing from within Man (2)
1读经：利未记13:29-31,33,34下，37-41,45-46，哥林多前书5:13。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 13:29-31, 33, 34b, 37-41, 45- 46; 1 Cor. 5:13
2我们在前篇信息中大体的说到痲疯，在本篇信息中要详细的来看痲疯这种病。
2In the foregoing message we covered leprosy in a general way. In this message we shall consider leprosy in a detailed way
3伍头上和胡须上的病利未记十三章二十九节说到在头上和胡须上的病。在圣经中，头，特11别是头发，表征我们的荣耀。林前十一章指明，头发与荣耀有关。
3V. A DISEASE ON THE HEAD AND ON THE BEARD Leviticus 13:29 speaks of a disease on the head and on the beard. In the Bible the head, especially the hair of the head, signifies our glory. First Corinthians indicates that hair is related to glory.
4胡须与荣耀无关，乃与自尊有关。要解释自尊是甚么很不容易，说自尊是一种尊荣并不彀。自尊实际上乃是自居的尊贵。社会地位高的人受人尊敬，人若自居尊贵，那就是自尊。就属灵一面说，胡须与自尊，与人自居的尊贵有关。人留胡子就是展示他的自尊。头（表征荣耀）上和胡须（表征自尊）上会有病，这指明痲疯很容易隐藏在人的荣耀和自尊里。人得尊贵并不是痲疯，但人自居尊贵，这就是痲疯。
4A beard is related not to glory but to dignity. It is not easy to explain what dignity is. It would not be adequate to say that dignity is a kind of honor. Dignity is actually self-assumed honor. A person of high social standing may be honored by others. However, if a person assumes honor, that is a matter of dignity. Spiritually speaking, a beard is related to dignity, to one’s self-assumed honor. To have a beard is to display one’s dignity. The fact that there can be a disease on the head, which signifies glory, and on the beard, which signifies dignity, indicates that it is easy for leprosy to be hidden within human glory and dignity. It is not leprous for a person to be honored, but it is leprous for one to assume honor to himself
5在利未记十三章，我们看见神的智慧；这一章对我们的罪作了神圣的诊断。痲疯与罪是同义辞，罪与背叛又是同义辞。罪就是背叛。宇宙中实际上只有一种罪，就是背叛。
5Leviticus 13, in which we see God’s wisdom, gives us a divine diagnosis of our sin. Leprosy is a synonym of sin, and sin is a synonym of rebellion. Sin is rebellion. In the universe there is actually only one sin, and this sin is rebellion
6按照神在创造里所立的原则，万有都有次序，都与权柄有关。宇宙中到处都有权柄。家中有权柄，学校中有权柄。国家若没有权柄，就不可能有和平与秩序。背叛与权柄相对。背叛的人就是反对权柄的人。就神圣的意义说，权柄与神自己是同义辞。神是宇宙中的权柄。撒但尝试破坏神圣的权柄，却失败了，且因著他的背叛受了审判。今天我们既是神所创造、拣选、救赎并拯救的人，特别是祂所重生的儿女，就应当是最服从、最顺从的。
6According to the principles set up by God in His creation, everything is in order and is related to a certain kind of authority. There is authority everywhere in the universe. There is authority in the family and in the schools. If there were no authority in this country, there could not be any peace or order. Rebellion is versus authority. Those who rebel oppose authority. In the divine sense, authority is a synonym of God Himself. God is the authority in the universe. Satan tried to break this divine authority, but he failed and was judged for his rebellion. Today as God’s created, chosen, redeemed, and saved people, and especially as His regenerated children, we should be the most submissive, obedient ones.
7罗马五章指明，罪就是悖逆。罪藉著亚当的悖逆进到人类里面。（罗五19。）你知道悖逆是甚么？悖逆就是背叛。悖逆与背叛是同义辞，而背叛又是撒但的同义辞。背叛怎样是撒但的同义辞，照样，权柄乃是神的同义辞。一切与背叛有关的都是属撒但的。今天，背叛在我们身上的表显有许多方面，而每一方面就是一个罪、罪愆、过犯、越分或过错。这些在外表看可能是小事，却全是那惟一的罪－背叛－的表显。
7Romans 5 indicates that to sin is to be disobedient. Sin came into the human race through the disobedience of Adam (v. 19). Do you know what disobedience is? It is rebellion. Disobedience is a synonym of rebellion. Disobedience is rebellion, and rebellion is a synonym of Satan. Just as rebellion is a synonym of Satan, so authority is a synonym of God. Anything that is related to rebellion is of Satan. The expression of rebellion in us today has many aspects. Every aspect is a sin or a trespass or a transgression or an overstepping or an offense. These things may be small in appearance, but they all are expressions of the unique sin—rebellion
8我们需要记得，罪的源头是背叛，而背叛是撒但的发明。所以，罪来自撒但。不仅如此，每一种罪都有背叛的性质，且都带著背叛的表显。甚至最小的罪也含有背叛的元素。因此，犯罪就是背叛神。每当我们犯罪，我们就是背叛神。
8We need to remember that the source of sin is rebellion and that rebellion is Satan’sin vent i on. Sin, therefore, comes from Satan. Furthermore, every kind of sin has the nature of rebellion and bears the appearance of rebellion. Even the smallest sin contains the element of rebellion. Hence, to sin is to be in rebellion against God. Whenever we sin we rebel against God
一 头上的病
A. A Disease on the Head
9头上的病，（利十三29上，）表征在服权柄和心思的思想上出了事情。凡在思想上出毛病的，在对权柄的态度上也有毛病。思想上的毛病，其源头乃是背叛。人对权柄的态度若不对，他的思想就有毛病。人对权柄的态度若对，他的思想就不会有任何毛病。
9A disease on the head (Lev. 13:29a) signifies something wrong in the subjection to authority and in the thinking of the mind. Any wrongness in thinking involves a wrong attitude toward authority. The source of wrong thinking is rebellion. If one’s attitude toward authority is wrong, his thinking will be wrong. But if one’s attitude toward authority is right, there will not be any wrongness in his thinking
二 胡须上的病
B. A Disease on the Beard
10胡须上的病，（利十三29下，）表征人的自居，自尊，要得到人的高举。我们不该自居，反该看自己是无有的。
10A disease on the beard (v. 29b) signifies considering oneself as somebody, being self-dignifying, hunting for others’ exaltation. Instead of considering ourselves as somebody, we should regard ourselves as nobody
11自尊或要得人的高举，乃是痲疯。这种要得高举的心就是在小孩子身上都能看到。例如，小男孩往往在访客或亲友面前表现自己，为要得到他们的称赞。他们那样的行为就是因为要得人的高举。甚至在释放信息的时候，我们也可能寻求得人的高举。讲道的人可能努力表现自己多么有学识、有知识、有口才，藉以自居尊贵。在公众面前讲道的人，很容易成了这样患痲疯的。
11It is leprous to be self-dignified or to hunt for others’ exaltation. This hunting for exaltation can be observed in the behavior of children. For example, in the presence of guests, visitors, and relatives, a little boy will often make a show of himself in order to be praised by them. He behaves in such a way because he is hunting for others’ exaltation. It is possible even in giving messages for us to seek to be exalted by others. The one speaking may assume dignity by trying to make a display of how learned, knowledgeable, and eloquent he is. It is very easy for one speaking in public to become leprous in this way.
三 细黄毛
C. Yellow Thin Hair
12利未记十三章三十节说，『祭司要察看患病的地方，若现象深于皮，其间还带有细黄毛，祭司就要定他为不洁净，那是头疥，是头上或胡须上的痲疯。』细黄毛表征过基督徒正常生活的能力衰退了。我们若在灵里刚强，有正确、正常的基督徒生活，按属灵的意义说，我们就是有黑发。但我们的头发若变黄变细了，就表征我们属灵的能力正在衰退。细黄毛是一种病征，这病来自背叛。这种头发乃是背叛神的表征；这指明至少在某些事上，人对神的话不服从或不顺从。甚至稍微不顺从神在圣经里的话，也会叫我们的头发变为细黄。有时候一位姊妹会看到她的丈夫在属灵上变弱，在神的事上和接受神的话上软弱了。这位弟兄就是有了细黄毛，这是痲疯的征兆，背叛的表征。四病的现象不深于皮，其间也没
12Leviticus 13:30 says, “The priest shall examine the diseased spot; if it appears to be deeper than the skin with yellow thin hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or the beard.” Yellow thin hair signifies the deteriorating of the strength for living a normal Christian life. Spiritually speaking, if we are strong in our spirit to live a proper and normal Christian life, we shall have black hair. But if our hair becomes yellow and thin, that is a sign that our spiritual strength is deteriorating. Yellow thin hair is a sign of disease, and this disease comes from rebellion. Such hair is a sign of rebellion against God; it indicates that, at least in certain things, one is not submissive or obedient to God’sword. Even the slightest disobedience to God’sword in the Bible will cause our hair to become yellow and thin. Sometimes a sister will notice that her husband has become weak spiritually, that he is weak in the things of God and in taking the word of God. This brother has yellow thin hair, which is a sign of leprosy, a sign of rebellion. D. The Disease Not Appearing to Be Deeper Than
the Skin and There Being No Black Hair in It
有黑毛
13三十一节接著说，『祭司察看头疥的病，若现象不深于皮，其间也没有黑毛，祭司就要把患头疥病的人隔离七天。』这节说到病不深于皮，其间也没有黑毛。这表征人的罪没有被遮盖，但也没有能力抗拒罪。病不深于皮是好的征兆，指明人的罪没有被遮盖，他没有倾向要遮盖自己的罪。没有黑毛是不好的征兆，指明缺少抗拒罪的能力。实际上，这节所描述的光景是中性的，因此祭司需要把病人隔离七天。
13Verse 31 goes on to say, “And if the priest examines the disease of the scall, and it does not appear deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate him who has the disease of the scall for seven days.” This verse speaks of the disease not being deeper than the skin and there being no black hair in it. This signifies that a person’ss in is not covered and that he does not have the strength to resist it. For the disease not to be deeper than the skin is a positive sign; it indicates that a person’ss in is not covered, that he does not have the tendency to cover his sin. There being no black hair is a negative sign; it indicates that the strength to resist sin is lacking. Actually, the situation described in this verse is neutral, and for this reason the priest was required to isolate the diseased person for seven days
五 剃胡须但不剃头
E. Shaving the Beard but Not the Hair
14剃胡须但不剃头，（利十三33，）表征对付人的自居、自尊等，但是保留对权柄的服从。林前十一章指明，不剃头就是服从权柄。剃头乃是背叛的表征。就属灵一面说，我们该保留头发，而剃掉胡须。有人剪了头发，却保留胡须，这指明他们是背叛的、自尊的，且寻求人的高举。
14Shaving the beard but not the hair (v. 33) signifies dealing with considering oneself as somebody, with self- dignifying, etc., but keeping the subjection to authority. As 1 Corinthians 11 indicates, not to shave one’s hair is to keep one’s subjection to authority. Shaving the hair is a sign of rebellion. Spiritually speaking, we should keep our hair but shave our beard. Some, however, cut off their hair and keep their beard. This indicates that they are rebellious and self-dignified and seek exaltation from others.
六 洗衣服
F. Washing the Clothes
15三十四节下半说到洗衣服。衣服表征我们的行为，我们日常的行事。洗衣服表征对付行为上的弱点、过犯、缺点、背叛的言语、不正当的行动等污点。因著我们都有这样的污点，我们需要首先藉著血，再藉著那灵，而得著彻底的洗净。
15Verse 34b speaks of washing one’s clothes. Clothes signify our conduct, our daily walk. Washing the clothes signifies dealing with the stains of weak points in conduct, offenses, defects, words of rebellion, and improper activities. Since we all have such things, we need a thorough washing first by the blood and then by the Spirit
七 头疥上长黑毛
G. Black Hair Growing in the Scall
16『但是头疥的样子若没有改变，其间也长了黑毛，头疥已经痊愈，他就洁净了，祭司要定他为洁净。』（利十三37。）头疥上长黑毛乃是好征兆，表征一个人过基督徒正常生活的能力得著了加强。在患病的地方长出了黑毛，这就是说，属灵的能力在我们的弱点上得著恢复。
16But if the scall remains unchanged in its appearance and black hair has grown in it, the scall is healed; he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean” (v. 37). Black hair growing in the scall is a good sign, for it signifies that the strength for one to live a normal Christian life increases in his weakness. Right at the diseased spot black hair is growing. This means that spiritual strength is coming back at our point of weakness
八 肉皮上的白火斑
H. White Bright Spots on the Skin of the Flesh
17三十八节说到男人或女人『在肉皮上有了火斑，就是白的火斑。』这些白火斑表征显扬自己的病。
17Verse 38 speaks of a man or a woman having “bright spots on the skin of their flesh, white bright spots.” These white bright spots signify the disease of self-display
九 肉皮上的灰（暗）白
I. A Dull (Darkish) White in the Skin of the Flesh
18『他们肉皮上的火斑若是灰白的，那就是皮上发作的水泡疹，那人是洁净的。』（利十三39。）这表征从显扬自己的软弱中得著恢复。当人显扬自己、自尊的时候，他就有白火斑。这些火斑是不好的征兆。肉皮上的灰白乃是好的征兆，指明人已经谦卑自己，且从显扬自己的病中得了恢复。
18If the bright spots in the skin of their flesh are a dull white, it is a tetter that has broken out in the skin; he is clean” (v. 39). This signifies the recovery from the weakness of self-display. When one makes a display of himself, assuming honor, he will have white bright spots. These spots are a negative sign. A dull white in the skin of the flesh is a positive sign; it indicates that one has humbled himself and has been recovered from the disease of self-display
十 头秃
J. The Head Being Bald
19四十节说，『人若头上掉发，那不过是头秃，他还是洁净的。』这表征虽然没有背叛，却不服权柄。这里没有背叛的征兆，只有不服权柄的征兆。
19Verse 40 says, “When a man loses the hair of his head and is bald, he is clean.” This signifies the losing of subjection to authority, yet without rebelling. Here there is no sign of rebellion, only the sign of the loss of subjection to authority
十一 顶门秃
K. The Forehead Being Bald
20四十一节继续说，『人若头顶前掉发，那不过是顶门秃，他还是洁净的。』顶门秃表征在人前和公开场合中不服权柄，但不是背叛。
20Verse 41 continues, “And if he loses the hair from his forehead and is bald at the forehead, he is clean.” The forehead being bald signifies being neither in subjection to authority nor in rebellion before men and on public occasions.
21陆痲疯患者向别人公开承认
21VI. THE LEPER’SO PEN CONFESSION OF HIS
自己的痲疯
LEPROSY TO OTHERS
22利未记十三章四十五、四十六节告诉我们，痲疯患者向别人公开承认自己的痲疯。这就是说，罪人向别人公开承认他的罪。
22Leviticus 13:45 and 46 tell us about the leper’so pen confession of his leprosy to others. This means that a sinner makes an open confession of his sin to others
一 穿撕裂的衣服
A. Wearing Torn Clothes
23四十五节说，『身上有痲疯病的人，他的衣服要撕裂，头发要蓬散，他要蒙著上唇喊说，不洁净，不洁净！』这里我们看见痲疯患者向别人承认自己痲疯的好几方面。第一乃是穿撕裂的衣服。这表征犯罪的人承认自己的道德破产。撕裂自己的衣服乃是承认自己在道德上破了产。
23Verse 45 says, “And as for the leper in whom the disease is, his clothes shall be torn and the hair of his head disheveled, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry, Unclean, unclean!” Here we have several aspects of the leper’s confession of his leprosy to others. The first aspect is wearing torn clothes. This signifies that a man who committed sin admits his moral bankruptcy. Tearing one’s clothes is a sign of admitting that one is bankrupt in morality
二 使头发蓬散
B. Having the Hair Disheveled
24痲疯患者的头发要蓬散。这表征他完全不服权柄，放肆无忌。这样的人是背叛的，不在意任何权柄。他蓬散的头发乃是任性的表征，指明他不守规矩，不顾到条例和法则。
24The hair of the leper’she ad was to be disheveled. This signifies that he is utterly lacking in subjection to authority, being unruly and reckless. Such a person is rebellious and does not care for any kind of authority. His disheveled hair is a sign of his unruliness; it indicates that he is disorderly and that he does not care for regulations and rules
三 蒙著上唇
C. Covering the Upper Lip
25痲疯患者也要蒙著上唇。他『要用布条包裹脸的下半部，留下口的部分松动，好向人宣告，不洁净，不洁净！』（GeorgeBush,布西乔治。）蒙著上唇，指明从痲疯患者（罪人）口中发出来的，都是污秽的，会传染的，也指明不可和他接触。
25A leper was also to cover his upper lip. He “was to have the lower part of his face bound around with a bandage, leaving the mouth just freedom enough to make the declaration, Unclean, unclean!” (George Bush). Covering the upper lip indicates that whatever issues out of a leper (a sinner) is filthy and contagious and that he should not be contacted
四 喊说，『不洁净，不洁净！』
D. Crying, “Unclean, Unclean
26痲疯患者必须喊说，『不洁净，不洁净！』这指明不住的定罪自己。
26The leper had to cry, “Unclean, unclean!” This indicates self-condemnation without ceasing
五 独居营外
E. Dwelling Alone outside the Camp
27『他有这病在身的日子，就是不洁净的；他既不洁净，就要独居，他的住处要在营外。』（利十三。）独居营外，表征有罪的人要留在召会之外，从神子民的交通中隔离，直到清除了他的罪。（林前五13。）
27“He shall remain unclean all the days that the disease is in him; he is unclean. He shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp” (v. 46). Dwelling alone outside the camp signifies that, until he clears 46 up his sinfulness, the one who has sinned should stay outside the church and be isolated from the fellowship among God’sp eople (1 Cor. 5:13).
