耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權

52. And the LORD spoke to Moses saying,

53. “To these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

54. To the tribe of many you shall give the more of an inheritance, and to the tribe of few you shall give the less of an inheritance; each shall be given its inheritance according to those that were numbered.

55. But the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers, they shall inherit.

56. According to the lot shall the possession of it be divided between many and few.”

57. And these are the numbered ones of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.

58. These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Korah begat Amram.

59. And the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom one bore to Levi in Egypt. And she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

60. And to Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

61. And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the LORD.

62. And those who were numbered were twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the children of Israel because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

63. These are those numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab beside Jordan at Jericho.

64. But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest had numbered when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

65. For the LORD had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there will not be a man left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.”

(A Faithful Version)

52. 耶和華曉諭摩西：

53. 族群的土地分配，要按個別人數多寡作出，視為應得的產業。

54. 人數多的，會多分；人數少的，會少分；都是按實際的情況作出。

55. 地段範圍是依照他們先祖所得的地段，用石頭為界。

56. 照人數多寡，佔地的範圍以石頭規劃出來。

57. 有些是登記在利未一族冊上的成員：革順稱革順族；哥轄稱哥轄族；米拉利稱米拉利族。

58. 利未一族的成員：立尼族、希伯崙族、瑪利族、母示族、可拉族。可拉生暗蘭。

59. 暗蘭的妻子名叫約基別，她是利未的女兒，在埃及出生。約基別為暗蘭生了亞倫、摩西，以及他們的姊妹米利暗。

60. 亞倫生了拿答、亞比戶、以利亞撒和以他瑪。

61. 拿答和亞比戶向耶和華獻上異教之火時被燒死。

62. 連同落戶於利未當中的外來人士，總計有二萬三千人，都在一個月以上的男丁數目。利未的人數未被列入以色列人的總人數中，因沒有資產分配。

63. 摩西和祭司以利亞撒一同數點，記錄在當時處於摩押平原、約旦河邊、耶利哥的這片土地。

64. 當時點算的人數，不是摩西和祭司亞倫在西乃曠第一次登記時的。

65. 只因耶和華當時曾說：有些人會死於曠野之地，除了耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞以外，他們中間沒有一個人剩下。

v.61 זוּר H2114 meaning: 異教之火

זוּר (zûr, H2114) is a primitive Hebrew root verb fundamentally meaning “to turn aside” or “to go away,” often specifically referring to turning aside for lodging.

From this core concept of deviation or departure, the term expands to signify:

• Being a stranger or foreigner: Describing someone outside the covenant community or household, often implying alienation or enmity.
• Strange or unauthorized: Referring to things or actions that are foreign to the Law, such as “strange fire” or “strange incense” offered in worship.
• Moral/Religious infidelity: In a specific active participle sense, it denotes committing adultery, particularly regarding the “strange woman” or harlot who leads one away from covenant fidelity.
• Loathsome: In a derived sense, it can mean something is repugnant or estranging, such as Job’s breath being “loathsome” to his wife.

The word is used approximately 76–79 times in the Hebrew Bible, primarily in the Torah (legal texts defining the status of the stranger regarding holy things) and the Prophets (depicting Israel’s spiritual adultery by turning to foreign gods).

這異教引入的獻祭方式似乎有二類：一是人，另一是火。這是有歷史可以參考也有許多電影上描述。以色列是長期生活在在異邦文明中，這是必然的結果。這現象與今日教會的處於不同文化的環境相同。

v.65 當中的意思要從以下的解釋去理解：

Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, is explicitly identified in the Bible as belonging to the Tribe of Judah. He served as the representative and leader for his tribe when Moses sent the twelve spies to scout the Promised Land (Numbers 13:6).

His lineage involves a complex ethnic background due to his father, Jephunneh, who is described as a Kenizzite (Numbers 32:12; Joshua 14:6). This title suggests that Caleb’s family may have had non-Israelite origins—possibly related to Edomites or Canaanites—who were integrated into the Tribe of Judah prior to the Exodus. While some genealogies in 1 Chronicles link Caleb to the descendants of Judah through Hezron, the consistent reference to his father as a Kenizzite indicates that Caleb’s inclusion in Judah was likely through marriage, adoption, or tribal assimilation rather than direct patrilineal descent.

https://petergoeman.com/was-caleb-the-kenizzite-born-a-native-israelite/ ：

Who are the Kenizzites?

Caleb is referred to as “Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite” in multiple places (Num 32:12; Josh 14:6, 14). Who are the Kenizzites?

The first mention we see in the Bible of the Kenizzites is Genesis 15:19, where the Kenizzites are listed alongside the Kenites, Hittites, Canaanites, etc. These people groups are said to possess the land which will be given to Abraham’s descendants in 400 years down the road. But we don’t have a lot of details about them.

這段記述集中在利未一族。這一族很特別，是分別為聖，不佔任何資產，是靠民眾因各樣情況，如謝罪感恩作出獻祭之物，支撐全族人的生活。如有非本族人士，例如一些自由人願意加入他們行列，都納入利未一族照顧。這處理的方式是以制度維持社會的平衡。因為當時有奴隸制度，這樣的自由人士有從外來也有從年滿淨身出戶的奴隸，又不願加入某一族者，似乎都歸入這一族。今日人相信了是否屬利未一族？

這種理解可以從迦南(v.65)的例子看到 (見上)。

當時摩西在12族之外另設一伙人集中於獻祭事上，在當時似乎是有教育作用，那是因為以色列人在埃及很長的一段時間，受當地埃及文明以及宗教林立的影響，對自身民族的歷史早就遺忘而設。它的功能就像今日的教會。

當時以色列人發生的內亂，從廣義言之，是不相信與相信之間，在個人和群體之間產生的衝突，是與個人信念有關：相信自己和相信耶和華之間，產生的衝突。就像今日教會的情況一樣。

這問題引發出一個永恆和一個短暫人生的選擇。一個既存的永恆，一個以個人成就立於永恆二個截然不同的生命態度。 若這個命題有啟發你的話，請多分享，也許可以讓末日可以休停於此。
