耶和華的事,不謀利沒有版權

1. And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

2. And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and defiled her.

3. And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke to the heart of the girl.

4. And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for a wife.”

5. And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. And his sons were with his livestock in the field. And Jacob kept silent until they had come.

6. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

7. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard. And the men were furious, and they were very angry because he had done folly in Israel in lying with the daughter of Jacob. And such a thing ought not to be done.

8. And Hamor communed with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife.

9. And you make marriages with us, giving your daughters to us, and taking our daughters to you.

10. And you shall live with us. And the land shall be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”

11. And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find grace in your eyes, and whatever you shall say to me I will give.

12. Ask of me what you desire for the price and gift of a bride, and I will give according as you shall say to me. But give me the maiden for a wife.”

 (A Faithful Version)

1.有日,利亞為雅各所生的女兒底拿外出,是約好了當地的女子。

2. 哈抹,在希未族人當中屬有地位的,他兒子示劍,見底拿貌美,就強行拉走並玷污了她。

3. 只因示劍的心甚為喜愛,不住地向底拿表達對她的愛慕是一片真心誠意。

4. 示劍於是向父親哈抹表白:想娶這女子為妻。

5. 只是,雅各聽到示劍竟敢玷污自己女兒底拿,就按下怒氣,等眾兒子放牲回來才告之發生的事。

6. 示劍因為喜愛底拿,要求父親哈抹去見雅各,說提親的事。

7. 哈抹應子要求去提親,雅各眾子聽到有人到來提親,就立馬從田裡趕回。眾人都極其憤怒,是因這人行了可恥的事。這時改了名的以色列,認為發生這樣的事,是不可原諒。

8. 哈抹與眾人商議:我兒子示劍實在非常愛慕底拿,請容許他們結為夫婦。

9. 你們若願意與我結為殷親,你女兒嫁來,我們的女兒也可以給你們披上嫁衣。

10. 我們若能成為一家人,這地也屬於你們,要居住、經商謀利甚麼都可。

11. 示劍對雅各,就是以色列和眾兒子說:若是願意,要什麼都可以。

12. 至於嫁妝,什麼價銀和禮品都可以,儘管開口,必會滿足你們,只要能讓底拿給我為妻。

這是個情慾不能控制下作出了超乎社會規範的事,動機也不複雜,血氣行事,自己喜歡就不理正常交往的可能,一心想我要,為何不可?這想法和處理方式,不單是示劍才有,今日許多只有自己不理他人,這些人的表達方式,與示劍沒有二樣,是沒有自控而來的結果,從該隱那年已經出現過。

示劍一個是地名,這處是人名。也許這就是他父親的屬地,兒子以此命名,之前有例說明

1. 以諾 (Enoch):創4:17. 該隱與妻子同房,懷孕生了以諾。給兒子起名以諾,也建一座城用以諾為名。

2. 底本(Dimon): 猶大支派的一座城鎮,後來成為猶大人的居住地(尼 11:25)。

3. 基列耶琳(Kirjath-jearim): 猶大支派的邊界城鎮,約櫃曾在此停放多年。猶大後代中的一個人名(代上 2:50-52)。

當人不能自控做出有傷他人的事,就有善後之舉,如何妥善處理?有地位權勢金錢的人一般是大欺小的方式或是文明一點用利誘。似乎是不會認錯。不去認錯從舊約到新約,當中人對犯錯的反應,似乎不曾改變過。能承認有錯又會去改之人,必定是具人性懂自控的人,這些人的愛心,才會真實可觸碰。

雅各自己一直被欺壓,他的反應似乎是心理描述的條件反應,敢怒不敢言。也許現在更為成熟,讓兒子們參與考慮。

做錯事,有回轉的機會?在人沒有,只會愈來愈難以收拾。最近川普對古巴前總理追究許多年前有四位美國人遭害的責任。為何追究?人一般不會認錯做成。

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CmBJ14EzR/  Department of Justice announces the indictment of Raúl Castro and several others with conspiracy to kill U.S. national.

這是一般情況,也有特殊情況如相信,也許是被引導錯誤,分不清之人,也會不認為是錯。耶和華似乎沒有因為被誤導就給予寬待,因為人選擇了自己去分辨。是前人的選擇,今日的人就要了解再沒有其他方式,可以逃避自己不作選擇,因為有一正氣早就吹進人心內,是自己作出了選擇。

人若犯錯,傷及人的尊嚴,並不能以外物如權利可以挽回。若認為是人的可貴之處,有不可冒犯的尊嚴在,是無可取代,那就認真看待人的尊嚴這事。有同感可分享讓人人都明白當中的可貴和重要。
