灯台与陈设饼桌子的安排，以及亵渎圣名者

The Arrangement of the Lampstand and the Showbread Table and the Death-Judgment
受到死的审判
of the Blaspheming of the Holy Name
1读经：利未记二十四章一至二十三节。利未记二十四章是二十三章和二十五章之间一段插进的话。二十三章是论到节期，二十五章是论到禧年，就是每五十年举行一次的节中之节。事实上，二十五章是二十三章的延续，但中间插进了二十四章。二十四章主要是说到四件事：帐幕内灯的照料，帐幕内陈设饼的安排，对神之名的亵渎，以及对人与牲畜生命的照顾。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 24:1-23 Leviticus 24 is a parenthesis between chapter twenty- three on the feasts and chapter twenty-five on the jubilee, the feast of feasts that was to take place every fifty years. Actually, chapter twenty-five is the continuation of chapter twenty-three, but chapter twenty-four is inserted between them. This chapter mainly covers four things: the tending of the lamp in the tabernacle, the arranging of the showbread in the tabernacle, the blaspheming of the name of God, and the taking care of human life and animal life
2我们要作祭司事奉神，就需要正确且充分的顾到两件事，就是光与食物。我们不是指天然和属人的光与食物，乃是指神圣的光与神圣的食物。我们是事奉神的祭司，需要在神圣的光中生活、行动、为人并事奉。帐幕内若没有光，人就很难进入，很难在里面行动、行走并事奉。因此，我们首先需要的乃是光。从某一面说，光比食物还重要。我们需要光，同时也需要食物。我们需要神圣的食物作我们的供应，使我们能正确的行动，有足彀的供应和力量来行走、为人并事奉。（见出埃乃记生命读经第九十至九十四篇，那里对陈设饼桌子与灯台有较完全的说明。）
2In order to serve God as priests, we need to take care of two things properly and adequately. These two things are light and food. We are, of course, referring not to the natural and human light and food but to the divine light and the divine food. As priests serving God, we need to live, act, behave, and serve under the divine light. If there had been no light in the tabernacle, it would have been difficult for anyone to enter it and to act, move, and serve God there. Thus, the first thing we need is light. In a sense, light is more important than food. Along with light, we need food. We need the divine food as our supply so that we may be able to act properly, move, behave, and serve God with sufficient supply and strength. (See messages ninety through ninety-four of the Life-study of Exodus, where the showbread table and the lampstand are covered in a fuller way
3我们需要顾到光与食物这两件事。这就是说，我们需要在神圣的光，就是生命的光（约一4）中蒙光照。这生命需要食物供应。所以，我们需要在灵里得著耶稣基督之灵正确的供应，（腓一19，）使我们可以天天得著充分的生命供应。我们因这样的供应得著加强，就能行事合宜，有足彀的力量在神圣的光中行动并事奉。
3We need to take care of the two matters of light and food. This means that we need to be enlightened under the divine light, the light which is the light of life (John 1:4). This life requires the food supply. Therefore, we need to have the proper supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ in our spirit (Phil. 1:19) so that we may have the adequate daily life supply. With such a supply we shall be strengthened. Then we shall be able to walk properly, move, and serve God with sufficient strength under His divine light
4壹灯台与陈设饼桌子的安排
4I. THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE LAMPSTAND
and the showbread table
5利未记二十四章一至九节说到灯台与陈设饼桌子的安排。这里『安排』一辞意即顾到、照料。
5Leviticus 2 4:1-9 covers the arrangement of the lampstand and the showbread table. Here the word arrangement means to take care of, to tend.
一 灯台的安排
A. The Arrangement of the Lampstand
6二至四节给我们看见灯台的安排。
6Verses 2 through 4 show us the arrangement of the lampstand
1 用作灯火、捣成的纯橄榄油
1. The Pure Beaten Olive Oil for the Light
7『你要吩咐以色列人，把那用作灯火、捣成的纯橄榄油带来给你。（利二四上。）用作灯火、捣成的纯橄榄油，表征纯一的圣灵，由流自耶稣肋旁的水（约十九34）所豫表，出于被压榨的橄榄所豫表钉十字架的基督，使基督在神的居所里作灯台照耀。
7“Command the sons of Israel to bring you pure beaten olive oil for the light” (v. 2a). The pure beaten olive oil for the light signifies the pure Holy Spirit, typified 2 by the water issuing from the side of Christ (John 19:34), coming out of the crucified Christ, typified by the pressed olives, for the shining of Christ as the lampstand in God’s dwelling place.
8豫表基督的橄榄，必须被压榨，使油能流出来。这表征基督藉著钉十字架被压榨，使圣灵能从祂流出作活水，并作油为著基督作灯台照耀。
8Olives, which are a type of Christ, had to be pressed that the oil could come out. This signifies that Christ was “pressed” by being crucified that the Holy Spirit could flow out of Him as the living water and also as the oil for the shining of Christ as the lampstand
2 灯火要从晚上到早晨不断的点著
2. The Light of the Lampstand Shining Continually from Evening until Morning
9以色列人要『使灯常常点著。』（利二四2下。）三节接著说，『在会幕中见证柜的幔子外，亚伦从晚上到早晨，要不断的在耶和华面前照料这灯；这要作你们世世代代永远的律例。』（利二四3。）这表征基督神圣的光不断的在神的家中照亮。大祭司亚伦要不断的在耶和华面前
9The sons of Israel were “to cause the lamp to burn continually” (v. 2b). Verse 3 goes on to say, “Outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall tend it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations.” This signifies that the divine light of Christ shines continually in the house of God. 3. Aaron the High Priest Arranging the3
安排这灯
Lamps before Jehovah Continually
10『他要不断的在耶和华面前照料精金灯台上的灯。』（利二四4。）这表征基督是我们的大祭司，不断的照料祂神圣的光，使其一直为神照耀。
10He shall tend the lamps on the pure lampstand before Jehovah continually” (v. 4). This signifies that Christ as our High Priest continually takes care of His divine light, causing it to shine for God continually
11我们许多人都经历过基督照料我们里面的光。在清晨，我们接触主这位大祭司。当我们与祂接触时，祂就照料我们里面的光。我们若在清晨没有接触主，就会整日缺少光。我们可能不在黑暗里，但我们感到里面没有光。然而，我们若在早晨花一点时间与主同在，光就自然来到。有些东西会在我们里面整天照耀著。那照耀就是我们早晨所经历并享受的基督，在我们里面照料祂自己这照耀的光。
11Many of us have experienced Christ’st a king care of the light within us. In the morning we contact the Lord as the High Priest. In our contact with Him, He takes care of the light within us. If in the morning we do not have any contact with the Lord, we shall be short of light the whole day. Although we may not be in darkness, we shall have the sense that there is no light within us. However, if we spend some time with the Lord in the morning, the light will come in spontaneously. Something will be shining within us the whole day. That shining is the very Christ whom we experienced and enjoyed in the morning tending Himself within us as the shining light.
二 陈设饼的安排
B. The Arrangement of the Showbread
12利未记二十四章五至九节给我们看见陈设饼的安排。1用细面作成十二个饼，每饼要有
12Leviticus 24:5-9 shows us the arrangement of the showbread. 1. Twelve Cakes Made with Fine Flour, Each
一伊法的十分之二
of Two-tenths of an Ephah
13『你要取细面，烤成十二个饼，每饼要有一伊法的十分之二。』（利二四5。）这表征那产生召会（由细面一伊法的十分之二所豫表－利二三13，17）的复活基督，乃是构成完满（由十二这数字所豫表）食物的元素，给神所有的子民和神享受。
13You shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake” (v. 5). This signifies that the resurrected Christ, the Christ who produced the church (typified by the two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour—23:13, 17), is the element that constitutes the food in full (typified by the number twelve) for all God’sp eople and for God to enjoy
14二十四章五节的十二这数字必是指以色列十二支派。这指明这种食物足以𫗪养所有神的子民。基督是我们的食物，乃是与召会生活有关。这指明我们若要得著充分的𫗪养，就必须过一种联于召会生活的生活。2把十二个饼摆成两行，每行六个，放在耶和华面前精金的桌子上『要把饼摆成两行，每行六个，放在耶和华面前精金的桌子上。』（利二四6。）这表征信徒享受基督是平行的，好作为见证（由二这数字所豫表），这见证是基于基督用祂纯净神圣的性情（由精金所表征）来把我们托住（由桌子所表征）。把纯乳香放在每一行，作饼的记念部分，献给耶和华为火祭『你要把纯乳香放在每一行，作饼的记念部分，献给耶和华为火祭。』（利二四7。）这表征基督作神与我们的食物，乃是带著祂复活的香气作记念的部分。
14The number twelve in 24:5 certainly refers to the twelve tribes of Israel. This indicates that this kind of food supply is sufficient to nourish all the people of God. Christ’s being our food is related to the church life. This indicates that if we hope to be nourished adequately, we must live a life that is related to the church life. 2. Placing the Twelve Cakes in Two Rows, Six in Each Row, on the Pure Gold Table before Jehovah “And you shall place them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure gold table before Jehovah” (v. 6). This signifies that the believers enjoy Christ in parallel for a testimony (typified by the number two) based on Christ’s holding us up (signified by the table) by His pure, divine nature (signified by the pure gold). 3. Putting Pure Frankincense with Each3 Row That It May Be a Memorial Portion for the Bread as an Offering by Fire to Jehovah “You shall put pure frankincense with each row, that it may be a memorial portion for the bread as an offering by fire to Jehovah” (v. 7). This signifies that it is with the fragrance of His resurrection as a memorial portion that Christ becomes food to both God and us.
15实际上，这些饼是给大祭司和众祭司的食物。但七节告诉我们，这些饼是献给神作食物的火祭。由此可见，我们所吃的就是神所吃的，神所吃的就是我们所吃的。这指明我们这些事奉神的人，就是祭司，与神乃是一。我们所享受的就是神所享受的，神所享受的就是我们所享受的。在事奉神的事上，神与我们，我们与神乃是一。在这里我们得著基督的𫗪养。
15Actually, the cakes of bread were food for the high priest and for the priests. But verse 7 tells us that they were an offering by fire for God’s food. From this we see that what we eat is what God eats, and what God eats is what we eat. This indicates that we as God’s serving ones, the priests, are one with God. What we enjoy is God’s enjoyment, and what God enjoys is our enjoyment. God and we, we and God, are one in His service. Here we have the nourishment of Christ.
16我们若深入这一切的点，就晓得我们所该凭以活著的，是那一种生命。在这生命中，有一种元素，就是基督复活的馨香之气。这种享受总是一种记念，是值得记念的事。亚伦要不断的在每安息日把饼摆列在耶和华面前
16If we get into the depths of all these points, we shall realize the kind of life we should live by. In this life is an element which is the fragrance of the resurrection of Christ. This kind of enjoyment is always a memorial, something that is worthy of remembrance. 4. Sabbath by Sabbath Aaron Setting the4 Bread in Order before Jehovah Continually
17『每安息日他要不断的把这饼摆列在耶和华面前；这要为以色列人作永远的约。』（利二四8。）这表征我们享受基督作我们的食物，应当有新鲜的陈列，使我们能与神一直有安息。『安息日』一辞带来安息的思想。『每安息日』原意一个安息日接一个安息日，意即一个安息接一个安息。这些
17Sabbath by sabbath he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually; it shall be a perpetual covenant on the part of the sons of Israel” (v. 8). This signifies that our enjoyment of Christ as our food should be set in order afresh that we may have rest with God continually. The word sabbath brings in the thought of rest. Sabbath by sabbath, that is, rest by rest, the cakes are arranged as food for God and also for us
18饼是安排给神，也是安排给我们的。
18
19亚伦和他的子孙要在圣处吃这饼，这是献给神为食物中至圣的
195. Aaron and His Sons Eating the Bread in a 5 Holy Place as a Most Holy Portion of the Food
部分
Offered to God
20『这饼是给亚伦和他子孙的，他们要在圣处吃，因为从献与耶和华的火祭中，这是给他的至圣部分，作他永得的分。』（利二四9。）这表征我们事奉神的人，应当在召会这圣处，享受基督为献给神的食物中至圣的部分。
20It shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is a most holy portion for him from the offerings of Jehovah by fire, as a perpetual due” (v. 9). This signifies that we, God’s serving ones, should enjoy Christ as a most holy portion of the food offered to God in the church as the holy place
21我们必须把九节的圣处解释为召会的表征。我们乃是在召会中，将基督献给神作食物供应，让神享受。然后我们要享受这食物。我们要享受神所享受的。基督乃是神所享受的，也是我们所享受的。这里我们要注意，二十四章一至九节向我们揭示，我们这些神的圣别子民要过圣别的生活，就需要对基督作神圣的光照亮我们，并作神圣的食物𫗪养我们这两件事，有更新的安排。
21It is necessary that we interpret the holy place in verse 9 as signifying the church. It is in the church that we offer Christ to God as His food supply for His enjoyment. Then we shall enjoy this food. We shall enjoy what God enjoys. Christ is what God enjoys and also what we enjoy. Here we would note that 24:1-9 unveils that for us, the holy people of God, to live a holy life, we need the arrangement of Christ afresh as the divine light to shine over us and as the divine food to nourish us.
22贰亵渎圣名者
22I I . THE DEATH - JUDGMENT OF THE
受到死的审判
Blaspheming of the Holy Name
23利未记二十四章的第二大段，（利二四12～23，）说到亵渎圣名者受到死的审判。这事非常重要，因为除了蒙光照、得𫗪养，我们还必须常常尊重神的名。我们必须顾到我们神的名。一亵渎圣名的事件记载于安排陈设饼桌子的记载之后
23The second main section of Leviticus 24 (vv. 12-23) deals with the death-judgment of the blaspheming of the holy Name. This is very important, for along with the enlightenment and the nourishment we must always honor the divine Name. We must take care of the Name of our God. A. The Story of the Blaspheming of the Holy Name Being Recorded after the Record concerning the
Arranging of the Showbread Table
24亵渎圣名的事件记载于安排陈设饼桌子的记载之后。这表征我们在完满的享受基督时，应当尊神的名为圣，不可玷污这圣名。马太六章九至十一节的祷告中，头一项祈求就是『愿你的名被尊为圣。』（太六9。）尊主的名为圣，就是将主这独一的名分别出来。主的名是独一的，不可同其他的名放在一起。从凡俗的名中将主的名圣别、分别出来，就是尊重并尊敬这圣名。二嫁给埃及人的以色列妇人之子
24The story of the blaspheming of the holy Name is recorded after the record concerning the arranging of the showbread table. This signifies that in our enjoyment of Christ in His fullness we should sanctify the holy Name and not profane it. In the prayer in Matthew 6:9-11, the first petition is “Let Your name be sanctified” (v. 9). To sanctify the Lord’s name is to separate it as something unique. The Lord’s name is unique, and it should not be put with other names. To sanctify, to separate, the name of the Lord from common names is to honor and respect the holy Name. B. The Story of the Son of an Israelite Woman
的事件
Who Had Married an Egyptian
25利未记二十四章十至十一节告诉我们：『有一个以色列妇人的儿子，他父亲是埃及人，…亵渎了神的名，并且咒诅。』这故事表征属神的人与属世的人结合所产生的结果，会叫神受到玷污，使玷污的人从对基督完满的享受里切断。按照这一章，我们若亵渎神的名，使之凡俗而不圣别，就不能再享受基督作照亮的光与𫗪养的食物。我们从利未记二十四章看见，我们需要顾到我们蒙光照与得𫗪养的事。要享受基督作我们的光与食物，就必须尊主的名为圣。这就是说我们必须过一种生活，常常尊我们的神为圣，常常尊我们的神为独一的一位，从一切别的名中分别出来。
25In Leviticus 24:10 and 11 we are told that “the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian… blasphemed the Name and cursed.” This story signifies that the joining of a man of God with a man of the world brings forth a result that will profane God, causing the profaning one to be cut off from the enjoyment of Christ in His fullness. According to this chapter, if we profane the name of God, making it common and not sanctifying it, we shall be finished with the enjoyment of Christ as our shining light and nourishing food. In Leviticus 24 we see that we need to take care of our being enlightened and of our being nourished. In order to enjoy Christ as our light and as our food, we must sanctify the holy Name. This means that we must live a life that always sanctifies our God, a life that always regards our God as the unique One, separate from all other names
26这一章也启示，我们需要顾到人的生命与动物的生命。人的生命是为著彰显神，动物生命主要的目的是要献给神。人的生命是要彰显神，动物的生命是我们敬拜神的凭藉。所以，我们需要顾到人的生命与动物的生命，就是为著彰显神的生命，与为著敬拜神的生命。
26This chapter also reveals that we need to take care of both the human life and the animal life. The human life is for the expression of God, and the main purpose of the animal life is to be offered to God. The human life is to express God, and the animal life is to be the means for us to worship God. Therefore, we need to take care of the human life and the animal life, the life for the expression of God and the life for the worship of God
