申命记生命读经 · 第24篇

警告（含示恩典）（一）

Warning (Implying Grace) (1)
1读经：申命记二十七章。我们已经看完了申命记中关于律法重申的部分，（申四44～二六，）现在要来看新的一段，（申二七１～二八68，）这段是论到警告的事，也说到咒诅和祝福。
1Scripture Reading: Deut. 27 We have completed the section of Deuteronomy concerned with the rehearsal of the law (4:44—26:19), and now we come to a new section (27:1 — 28:68), 19 which deals with the matter of warning and speaks about being cursed and blessed.
壹 摩西和以色列的众长老
I. MOSES, WITH THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL
吩咐百姓，要遵守
COMMANDING THE PEOPLE
他那日所吩咐的
TO KEEP THE WHOLE COMMANDMENT
一切诫命
WHICH HE WAS COMMANDING THEM THAT DAY
2在二十七章一至二十六节，摩西和以色列的众长老吩咐百姓，要遵守他那日所吩咐的一切诫命。那日就是重申律法的日子。
2In 27:1-26 Moses, with the elders of Israel, commanded the people to keep the whole commandment which he was commanding them that day. This was the day of the rehearsal of the law
一 百姓要在以巴路山立起几块大石头，墁上石灰，把这律法的一切话写在石头上
A. The People Erecting Large Stones on Mount Ebal, Coating Them with Plaster, and Writing upon Them All the Words of the Law
3以色列人过约但河，到了神所赐给他们的地，要在以巴路山立起几块大石头。（申二七２上，４。）这些未经人手作工的天然石头，表征永不改变。石头要墁上石灰，（申二七２下，）百姓要将『这律法的一切话』清楚的写在石头上。（申二七３，８。）我相信这些话是指十诫。二要为耶和华他们的神筑一座石坛，
3When the children of Israel crossed over the Jordan into the God-given land, they were to erect large stones on Mount Ebal (vv. 2a, 4). These were to be natural stones not worked on by man, signifying unchangeableness. The stones were to be coated with plaster (v. 2b), and upon them the people were to write very clearly “all the words of this law” (vv. 3, 8). I believe that these words refer to the Ten Commandments. B. Building to Jehovah Their God an Altar of Stones
在坛上要将燔祭献给神，又要献平安祭，且在那里吃，在耶和华面前欢乐
and Offering Up Burnt Offerings upon It to Him, Sacrificing Peace Offerings, Eating There, and Rejoicing before Him
4以色列人要在神所赐的地上，为耶和华他们的神，用没有凿过的石头筑一座石坛。（申二七５～６上。）摩西在将要宣布祝福和咒诅的时候，嘱咐百姓筑坛，这是很有意义的。这坛含示恩典。百姓在顾到祝福或咒诅之前，先筑了一座坛。筑坛是大事，因为人堕落后，我们与神之间首先需要的，乃是一座坛，就是基督的十字架。我们感谢神，在祂以祝福或咒诅对付我们以前，已经藉著基督十字架上的救赎完成了救恩。赞美主，坛已经筑好了！
4In the God - given land, the children of Israel were to build to Jehovah their God an altar of stones not touched by an iron tool (vv. 5-6a). It is significant that when the blessings and the curses were about to be released, Moses charged the people to build an altar. This altar implies grace. Before the people took care of either the blessing or cursing, they built an altar. The building of an altar is a great matter, for, after man’s fall, what we first need with respect to God is an altar— the cross of Christ. We thank God that, before He dealt with us regarding blessing or cursing, He accomplished salvation through Christ’s redemption on the cross. Praise the Lord that an altar has been built!
5在表征基督十字架的祭坛上，以色列人要将燔祭（基督）献给神。（申二七６下。）百姓又要献平安祭（基督），且在那里吃，在耶和华他们的神面前欢乐。（申二七７。）基督在十字架上将自己当作燔祭献给神，使神满足。祂也为我们将自己当作平安祭献给神，使我们能得著满足。现今在神的面前，我们能享受基督这平安祭，使我们能与神有交通。六、七节的燔祭和平安祭指明凡要遵守神诫命的人，必须将自己当作燔祭献给神，使神满足，好叫他能献平安祭给神，使他在交通中与神一同享受。这就是说，我们若想要在神面前作甚么，首先必须将基督献给神作燔祭，给神满足。接著，主要的为了自己的需要和满足，我们也要献上基督作平安祭。这样，我们就要在神圣的交通中与神一同享受。
5Upon the altar, which signifies the cross of Christ, the children of Israel were to offer up burnt offerings (Christ) to God (v. 6b). The people were also to sacrifice peace offerings (Christ) and eat there and rejoice before Jehovah their God (v. 7). On the cross, Christ offered Himself to God as a burnt offering for God’s satisfaction. He also offered Himself to God as a peace offering for us so that we could be satisfied. Now in the presence of God, we can enjoy Christ as the peace offering for our fellowship with God. The burnt offering and the peace offering in verses 6 and 7 indicate that the one who wants to keep the commandments of God must offer himself as a burnt offering to God for His satisfaction, so that he can offer a peace offering to God for his enjoyment with God in fellowship. This means that if we intend to do something before God, we must first offer Christ to God as a burnt offering for God’s satisfaction. Then, mainly for our own need and our satisfaction, we must also offer Christ as a peace offering. Then we will have enjoyment with God in the divine fellowship
三 以色列人成为耶和华他们神的子民，要听祂的话，遵行祂的诫命、律例
C. Israel, Having Become the People of Jehovah Their God, Listening to His Voice and Doing His Commandments and His Statutes
6摩西和祭司利未人告诉以色列众人，从那日起他们成为耶和华他们神的子民了，所以他们要听祂的话，遵行祂的诫命、律例。（申二七９～10。）
6Moses, with the Levitical priests, spoke to all Israel that from that day they had become the people of Jehovah their God; therefore they were charged to listen to His voice and do His commandments and His statutes (vv. 9-10
四 摩西吩咐六个支派要站在基利心山上祝福百姓，另六个支派要站在巴路山上宣布咒诅
D. Moses Commanding That Six of the Tribes Should Stand upon Mount Gerizim to Bless the People and That Six Tribes Should Stand upon Mount Ebal for Cursing
7摩西吩咐百姓，西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦、约瑟、便雅悯这六个支派的人，要站在基利心山上祝福百姓。（申二七11～12。）流便、迦得、亚设、西布伦、但、拿弗他利这另外六个支派的人，要站在以巴路山上宣布咒诅。（申二七13。）那些支派会在那一班人中，他们无法选择，只有接受神的命定。
7Moses commanded the people that six of the tribes of Israel — Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin—should stand upon Mount Gerizim to bless the people (vv. 11-12). Moses also commanded that the other six tribes — Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali — should stand upon Mount Ebal for cursing (v. 13). Concerning which group they would be in, the tribes had no choice but had to accept God’so rd i nation.
五 利未人的回应
E. The Levites Responding
8利未人要向以色列人高声回应，（申二七14。）说出那些记载在十五至二十六节的咒诅。
8The Levites were to respond and, speaking to the people with a loud voice, were to utter the curses recorded in verses 15 through 26
六 要受咒诅的人
F. The Ones Who Were to Be Cursed
9对二十七章十五至二十六节的每一个咒诅，百姓都要说『阿们。』受咒诅的人包括：凡制造偶像的；（申二七15；）轻慢父母的；（申二七16；）挪移邻舍地界的；（申二七；）领瞎子走岔路的；（申二七18；）向寄居者和孤儿寡妇屈枉正直的；（申二七19；）与继母行淫的；（申二七20；）与兽淫合的；（申二七21；）与异母同父，或异父同母的姐妹行淫的；（申二七22；）与岳母行淫的；（申二七23；）暗中杀邻舍的；（申二七24；）受款杀死无辜之人的；（申二七25；）不坚守遵行这律法一切言语的。（申二七26。）七以色列人天性是堕落的，
9To each of the curses in 27:15-26, the people were to say, “Amen.” The ones who were cursed included the following: the man who makes an idol (v. 15); the man who dishonors his parents (v. 16); the man who moves his neighbor’s boundary mark (v. 17); the man who leads astray a blind man on the way (v. 18); the 17 man who distorts justice due a sojourner, an orphan, or a widow (v. 19); the man who lies with his father’s wife (v. 20); the man who lies with an animal (v. 21); the man who lies with his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter (v. 22); the man who lies with his mother-in-law (v. 23); the man who slays his neighbor secretly (v. 24); the man who takes payment to slay someone of innocent blood (v. 25); and the man who does not confirm all the words of this law by doing them (v. 26). G. The Children of Israel, Being Fallen in Nature,
必然无力遵行他们神的诫命、律例、典章
Not Measuring Up to Keep the Commandments, Statutes, and Judgments of Their God
10以色列人天性是堕落的，必然无力遵行他们神的诫命、律例、典章，因此他们会落到十五至二十六节所列的一切咒诅之下。然而，在刻著神诫命的石块旁边就有祭坛，在那里他们能以基督作他们的燔祭献给神，使神满足，并以基督作他们的燔祭和平安祭献给神，使神满足，并作他们与神共同的享受。这就是要在咒诅宣布之前豫备好祭坛的原因。
10The children of Israel, being fallen in nature, surely would not measure up to keep the commandments, statutes, and judgments of their God; thus they would come under all the curses listed in verses 15 through 26. However, right beside the stones of the inscriptions of the commandments of God was the altar, where they could take Christ as their burnt offering to God for His satisfaction and take Christ as their burnt offering and peace offering to God for God’s satisfaction and their enjoyment with God. This is the reason that the altar was prepared before the curses were declared
11我们信入基督而得救以前，是在神的诫命、律例、和典章之下。藉著基督，我们蒙救赎『脱离律法的咒诅。』（加三13。）神已经豫备了祭坛，就是基督的十字架，在这十字架上，我们以基督为燔祭献给神，使神满足。我们也以基督为我们的燔祭和平安祭，使神满足，并使我们与神一同享受。平安祭是神的食物，也是我们的食物，当我们与神交通的时候，就在神面前享受这食物。
11Before we believed into Christ and were saved, we were cursed under God’s commandments, statutes, and judgments. Through Christ we have been redeemed “out of the curse of the law” (Gal. 3:13). God has provided an altar, the cross of Christ, and at the cross we take Christ as the burnt offering offered to God for His satisfaction. We also take Christ as our burnt offering and peace offering for God’s satisfaction and our enjoyment with God. The peace offering is food for both God and us, and we enjoy this food in the presence of God as we have fellowship with Him.
12从前我们是在律法的咒诅之下。但我们要为十字架赞美主！在这宇宙中，不仅有律法书，使我们在其下受咒诅；更有十字架，藉此，按神的公义、凭神的恩典，救赎得以完成。因著我们已经就近十字架，现今我们乃是在十字架之下，不再在律法之下了。我们这些在十字架下的人，能满足神，也能藉著作我们救赎主并我们代替的基督，叫自己得著满足。基督是我们的平安，藉著祂，我们与神就有平安。律法已经过去，十字架永远坚立。
12At one time, we were cursed under the law. But praise the Lord for the cross! In this universe there is not only a book of law under which we are cursed; there is also the cross through which redemption has been accomplished by God’s grace according to God’s righteousness. Because we have come to the cross, we are now under the cross and are no longer under the law. As those who are under the cross, we can satisfy God, and also find satisfaction for ourselves, through Christ, our Redeemer and our Substitute. Through Christ, who is our peace, we have peace with God. The law is over, and the cross stands forever.
