耶和華的事,不謀利沒有版權

1. And the LORD spoke to Moses saying,

2. “Make two trumpets of silver for yourself. You shall make them of beaten work. And they shall be used for the calling of the assembly and for the journeying of the camps.

3. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall gather themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

4. And if they blow with one, then the leaders who are heads of the thousands of Israel shall gather themselves to you.

5. When you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall set out.

6. When you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall set out. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

7. But when the congregation is to be gathered, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

8. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the silver trumpets. And they shall be to you for an ordinance forever throughout your generations.

9. And if you go to war in your land against the enemy who attacks you, then you shall blow with the silver trumpets. And you shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.

10. Also in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow with the silver trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, so that they may be to you for a memorial before your GOD. I am the LORD your God.”

11. And on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle of the testimony.

12. And the children of Israel set out in their journeyings out of the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

13. And at the command of the LORD they first pulled up stakes by the hand of Moses.

14. In the first place the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set out by their armies. And over his army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

15. And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

16. And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

17. And the tabernacle was taken down.And the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.

18. And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies. And over his army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

19. And over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

20. And over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Reuel.

 (A Faithful Version)

1. 耶和華曉諭摩西:

2. 用銀去鑄造兩支大號,作用是召集,以及通告起行。

3. 當號角響起,是提醒民眾聚集,集到會幕前有事宣告。

4. 號角若第一次吹響,千夫長要前來聽令。

5. 號角第二次吹出,那是通報,東邊的營隊就要起行。

6. 通報吹號第二次,南邊的營隊就要起行。吹號的通報聲是離營起行的意思。

7. 聚集的號聲是一種,通報離營是另一種。

8. 亞倫的子孫,屬祭司身份,可以使要用銀號,是永遠的定例。

9. 若有人在你們的地方生事,就吹銀號。耶和華聽到是會來保護,你們必蒙拯救。

10. 這號角可以在以下的日子去吹奏,如在歡快的日子、節期例如每月初一。有些日子如獻燔祭和平安祭,可以用銀製號角去吹奏,用以記念你們相信耶和華。

11. 這是在曠野第二個年頭,二月二十日,保護約櫃的會幕,頭頂上的雲層被收起。

12. 以色列人要起行,離開西乃。雲層會停在巴蘭的野地。

13. 這是耶和華藉摩西作出吩咐,全數起營。

14. 起營前的安排是這樣:猶大支派舉起屬於他們的旗幟,亞米拿達的兒子為首帶領猶大支派眾人。

15. 以薩迦支派是由穌押的兒子拿坦業帶領。

16. 西布倫支派是由希倫的兒子以利押帶領。

17. 革順的後人和米拉利的後人,負責去拆卸及搬運會幕等物。

18. 屬流便大隊的軍旗下眾人,領隊是示丟珥的兒子以利蓿。

19. 西緬支派的領隊是蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑。

20. 迦得支派的領隊是丟珥的兒子以利亞撒。

雅各十二位兒子:流便西緬利未猶大拿弗他利迦得亞設以薩迦西布倫約瑟便雅憫

註:革順和哥轄屬利未支派。利未支派負責拆卸;搬運和搭建。以法蓮是約瑟之子。亞米忽屬拿弗他利。當中因為有老有少一起,記載就有了用兒子或者後代以示分別。

在一切行進的安排上,摩西是得天獨厚的一位,成了耶和華的代言人。他的代言,不是耶和華親臨指示,而是可以理解為耶和華的心思,摩西是了解。耶和華向摩西頒布的十個對耶和華和對人行事為人的原則,摩西明白,將之化為行政管理的守則,便於眾人明白,因為人有私意在,若有共用的約定,就能成規矩定方圓,和諧相處。摩西用文字表達時,用:是耶和華吩咐,方便行事。

這是摩西與耶和華之間的特殊關係而來,其他人不會也不能代替耶和華說話。這就有了對耶和華認識的先知在後期耶和華無言的日子,代替耶和華的囑咐,提醒以色列人之舉。後來的先知沒有人理睬,就因為不同摩西的經歷。那麼以後有沒先知?有一位最後的,就是耶穌基督。人要明白耶和華的心意,看耶穌,不再是看人。

及後,相信的人,有沒有人相信,如何相信?耶和華感動人,不只一位,是有同感的一群定下了:聖經的本。如何理解,看解釋人的選擇。人,如何作出正確的選擇? 人有自己的靈,它是自有永有的存在於人心內,是道成肉身,為此,人只要回應,就是肉身成道,這是約翰的體會。

出埃及的時候,十二支派的齊全。

摩西屬於利未支派

利未支派的特點

  • 家族背景:摩西的父親是暗蘭,母親是約基別,兩人都是利未人。他的哥哥是大祭司亞倫,姐姐是女先知米利暗,同樣屬於利未支派。
  • 特殊職責:利未支派被上帝揀選,專門負責會幕和聖殿的祭司與事奉工作。
  • 土地分配:因為他們專職服事神,所以在以色列人進入迦南地分配土地時,利未支派沒有像其他支派那樣分得大片土地,而是散居在各支派的城邑中。

有理由相信,耶穌本人追源索本,是屬利未支派 + 猶大支派,這是個有趣又有深意的安排,大家可以查考一下。耶穌被散在以色列人和一眾外邦人,相信會包括伊斯蘭教的人。也許世界仍有二千年的空間存在的理由。
