耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權

15. And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony. And at sunset it was upon the tabernacle, appearing like fire, until the daybreak.

16. So it was always. The cloud covered it by day, and it appeared like fire by night.

17. And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel pulled up stakes. And in the place where the cloud stayed, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

18. At the command of the LORD the children of Israel pulled up stakes, and at the command of the LORD they pitched their tents. As long as the cloud stayed upon the tabernacle, they remained encamped.

19. And when the cloud stayed long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD and did not journey.

20. And so when the cloud remained a number of days upon the tabernacle, according to the command of the LORD they remained in camp, and according to the command of the LORD they pulled up stakes.

21. And so when the cloud stayed from sunset to the daybreak, and the cloud was taken up at daybreak, then they pulled up stakes. Whether by day or by night when the cloud was taken up, they pulled up stakes.

22. Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud stayed upon the tabernacle, remaining over it, the children of Israel stayed in their tents and did not journey. But when it was taken up, they pulled up stakes.

23. At the command of the LORD they encamped, and at the command of the LORD they pulled up stakes. They kept the charge of the LORD at the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

 (A Faithful Version)

15. 逾越節過後這日，眾人升起會幕，有雲層在天空覆蓋會幕連約櫃在內的範圍。落日如火一般照射在會幕，直到翌日的黎明。

16. 會幕日間有雲層覆蓋，晚間有烈火出現，天天如是。

17. 當雲層奠去，彩離開會幕之後，以色列人就離去。雲層不動就地搭營。

18. 這雲層像是耶和華在發號令一樣，雲散就離開，雲聚就安營。

19. 雲層若是多日停留不動，以色列人就明白這是耶和華心意，不去動身。

20. 於是，雲彩在會幕上停留，以色列人就遵照耶和華吩咐安營不動。

21. 雲層留多少天，就像是耶和華吩咐要留多少天。

22. 雲層在會幕上停留兩天、一個月、一年，以色列人都按此時序留住。雲層消散，就拔營離去。

23. 這停留和離開，都是依照耶和華的吩咐，是摩西代為指示。

火：H784

Strong’s H784  corresponds to the Hebrew word  אֵשׁ  (‘ēsh), which translates to  fire.   It is a  feminine noun  and a  primitive word  that appears approximately 380 times  in the Hebrew Bible. 

The term encompasses both literal and figurative meanings:

• Literal: Physical flames, such as the fire in the burning bush (Exodus 3:2), the pillar of fire guiding Israel (Exodus 13:21), or fire used for cooking and refining metals. 
• Figurative: Divine judgment (e.g., Sodom and Gomorrah in  Genesis 19:24), God’s anger (Psalm 89:47), and the altar fire used in worship (Leviticus 1:7).

In the King James Version, it is typically translated as  fire, with less common renderings including  burning,  fiery,  flaming, and  hot. 

這處描述的火，不同於榮耀的光輝，它在原文的意義是帶有怒氣。

The phrase “at the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses” appears in several passages in the Book of Numbers, emphasizing that the Israelites’ actions were divinely directed through Moses as the mediator. 

Key occurrences include:

• Numbers 4:49: Describes the numbering of the Levites, where each man was assigned his specific work and burden  according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses. 
• Numbers 9:23: States that the Israelites encamped and set out  at the command of the LORD, keeping His charge  by the hand of Moses. 
• Numbers 27:23: Records Moses commissioning  Joshua  by laying hands on him  as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses. 
• Numbers 33:2: Notes that  Moses  recorded the stages of the Israelites’ journey  by the commandment of the LORD. 

This phrasing consistently highlights  Moses’  role as the authorized conduit for God’s instructions regarding the organization, movement, and leadership of the Israelite community. 

如果從這些經文去了解耶和華的吩咐，似乎是指摩西明白耶和華的深意，例如去破除人心目中，從習慣而來的觀念，對信仰的含糊的態度，來一個明確的了斷，以前的放下，在出埃及這段時間，正好是重新去認識，那位他們列祖相信的，更是雅各之後，一枝獨秀的亞伯拉罕之後。將要成為以後以色列人唯一相信的。也因此，對耶穌有了抗拒。當時用了四十年去反思。

為此，在人口中描述是耶和華吩咐，就有了明確的意思，是依據耶和華愛人這個原則而來。為此，在人去展示這份愛，是從耶和華而來的，祂是如何為了守約，用盡不同方式，讓一個人有這樣領悟的人，作為樣板可以跟隨。這個舊約時代，從新認識的，有摩西。到了以色列人在人世間打拚了許多年，幾乎忘記的時候，耶穌出現。耶穌接續，對當時的以色列人，也對那個時代的外邦人，就是當年沒有立約的亞伯拉罕之後，在分分化言語的年代中失散，都能明白耶和華的本意。那個時代用了四百年。

如今有一位川普，他似乎是另一位，正在與人的私心狂意，自己，像摩西似的，去見證以及延續耶和華要重返巴別塔之前那樣，各有各發展，卻沒有鬥意那種安居樂業的互不侵犯的年代。以前用刀用槍，今日是電子實力虛假的攻防。都是因為人心的慾望，產生不自私和自私之間的對峙。這個時代要用多少年？四千年？
