耶和華的事,不謀利沒有版權
1. And Abraham moved from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.
2. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, “Behold, you are about to die because of the woman whom you have taken—for she is a man’s wife.”
4. But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, “LORD, will You also kill a righteous nation?
5. Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister?’ And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the sincerity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.”
6. And God said to him in a dream, “Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.
7. Now therefore, restore his wife to the man; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all that are yours.”
1. 亞伯拉罕從希伯崙向南遷徙,住基拉耳,位置就在加低斯和書珥之間。
2. 亞伯蘭未到埃及,就對妻子撒萊說,妳要稱作我妹妹。當地的基拉耳管治亞比米勒派人去迎娶撒萊。
3. 亞比米勒在晚間夢到耶和華向他說話:你若與這女子成親會因此死亡,因她是別人的妻子。
4. 亞比米勒此時還未成親,便回耶和華說:祢是要取義人的命?
5. 亞伯蘭對我說:她是妹妹。她自己也說:是他的哥哥。我去迎娶是出於一片赤誠,無愧良心。
6. 耶和華夢中回應:這事確實出於你一片真心,因此來告訴不要去觸碰她,免至在我面前犯錯。
7. 你把這女子歸還他丈夫,他是位先知,會因此為你祝福。若然不肯,你故然因此滅亡,也禍及你一切所有。
亞比米勒他的稱號有別於法老,以下有一些參考:
https://www.gotquestions.org/Abimelech-Bible.html 一些非利士人的君王也被稱為「亞比米勒」。例如,在 創世記20:2 中,將撒拉迎入後宮的基拉耳王被稱為「亞比米勒」。在以撒寄居基拉耳期間,基拉耳王也被稱為「亞比米勒」(創26:1)。大衛在迦特王面前裝瘋賣傻時,詩篇34篇 的標題中也稱他為「亞比米勒」 ;然而,撒母耳記上21:11指出迦特王是亞吉。這使得許多學者認為,至少在非利士人中,「亞比米勒」是君王的稱號,而不是個人名字——就像埃及人總是稱他們的國王為「法老」一樣。聖經中另一個可能的亞比米勒是 歷代誌上18:16 中提到的yo
https://scripturescript.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/abraham-moves-to-gerar/ 基拉耳的可能位置。這作者在解釋這段經文,看法接近,可以參考。
摩西在這段更詳細描述12-13章的內容:
1. 那個法老 (應是非利士王),是管治基拉耳的一位,這人正直,辦事秉持公道。他被亞伯蘭瞞騙,說是基於形勢的判斷。而亞伯蘭是受耶和華眷顧,因為相信。這事給耶和華一個難題,因為懲罰 (不知何種方式),如何解決?
2. 這位亞伯蘭,他欺騙以致別人受到不必要的懲戒,不是應該受到警戒或懲罰?事實沒有,什麼緣因?
3. 耶和華在亞比米勒夢中對話。摩西描述耶和華與人溝通的一種形式,有點像良心對話。這種對話更像是心靈互通的方式,發生在一位心存正義的人身上。這現象也許在心日的繁榮盛世當中,人與創造者對話,有更多這樣的形式。
這種心靈對話,在詩篇反映出更多的形容和描述,是心靈感應,用文字表達的結果。這也是人可以直接以心靈和誠實必然能溝通的基本要求。登山說的八福,當中有一種是清心的,能見彌賽亞,同一個道理。
