每週一妥拉 2015/3/1-3/7

微牧之歌    2015/3/11  

(轉載自國度禱告網)


从古时起,世界各地的犹太会堂会一週一次在安息日读经,从摩西五经(妥拉)到先知的书(先知书)。每週的读经内容都有一个希伯来名称,其出自经文内容起头的字。每週惯例读经的实例刚好记载在路加福音四章16节,耶稣来到拿撒勒的会堂,读了一段先知书(以赛亚书61章)。我们发现每週一次阅读这些内容,不仅提供我们机会,与世界成千上万的犹太人来确认神话语的内容,在我们为以色列与犹太人的代祷上,圣灵更时常贴切的启发具体的内容祷告。

这週的阅读(3/1-3/7)称为『你数的时候』(Ki Tisa),读经内容包括:
妥拉:出埃及记30:11-34:35
先知书:撒母记上列王记上18:1-39


普珥日(3月5日) :出埃及记17:8-16;以斯帖记全

*出埃及记30:11-12. 『耶和华晓谕摩西说:你要按以色列人被数的,计算总数,你数的时候,他们各人要为自己的生命把赎价奉给耶和华,免得数的时候在他们中间有灾殃。』『计算总数』就是『抬起你的头』,这和我们常说的『数人头』很类似。此行动还会连同每一个被数之人所付的赎价,免得神的保护离开他们,灾殃临到他们(12节)。或许在撒母耳记下24章,大卫王轻忽这些指示,才使得瘟疫降在他自己百姓当中。

*出埃及记 31:2-5. 『看哪,犹大支派中,户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列,我已经提他的名召他。我也以我的灵充满了他,使他有智慧,有聪明,有知识,能做各样的工,能想出巧工,用金、银、铜製造各物,又能刻宝石,可以镶嵌,能雕刻木头,能做各样的工。我分派但支派中、亚希撒抹的儿子亚何利亚伯与他同工。凡心裡有智慧的,我更使他们有智慧,能做我一切所吩咐的。』

比撒列这名字的意思是『在神的荫下』,而亚何利亚伯的意思则是『天父是我的帐幕』。所有受造物感到xxx的地方就是在全能者的荫下(诗篇91:1)─在我们天父帐幕的隐密处(诗篇27:5)。神渴慕用祂的灵充满艺术家(在这裡提到许多艺术的技巧),为了『能做祂一切所吩咐的。』可悲的是,当这些指示正在山上颁佈给摩西时,亚伦(这位『在神荫下』最不该摇动的人),竟在周围人渴求的迫使下,使用他创造性的恩赐做了一个偶像(出32:4)。他没有让圣灵使用来协助百姓敬拜真神,反而用他的手所创造出来的东西成为被敬拜的对象。

请祷告:敬虔的比撒列和亚何利亚伯在今日的以色列被孕育、产生,他们能谦卑意识到自己创造性的恩赐、智慧、聪明、知识与手艺都是从神来的,为了祂的荣耀来完成使命─祂才是他们xx的命定。祷告他们寻求被圣灵充满,并抵挡世界的灵,其试图让人的创意转离尊荣他的创造主(人是按具创意之神的形象所造的)。祷告他们能瞭解神深知他们,就像比撒列一样,神是按他们的名字来呼召他们!

*出埃及记31:17. 『这(安息日)是我和以色列人永远的证据;因为六日之内耶和华造天地,第七日便安息舒畅。』我们应该小心不去说『虽然神第七天不工作,但那并不是因为祂很累,需要休息等类的话』当然这裡有一些超乎我们所能理解的奥秘;然而,这段话清楚说到第七天神『便安息舒畅』。『舒畅』(refreshed)字面上有著『灵魂复甦』的意思,因此大卫可以确信地提到主熟知祂充满疲惫之僕人的需要,好『使他的灵魂甦醒!』(诗篇23:3)。

*出埃及记32:1-5, 19. 以色列的儿女是一群被神xx拣选与分别出来的百姓,上週我们看见亚伦和他的家从以色列中被拣选,成为在主面前服事的祭司(出埃及记28:1)。当然,摩西从一出生就被兴起监督并带领以色列人。在这週的阅读中更清楚看见,这些呼召、拣选与职分并不是因为人的公义;唉,世人都在罪恶之下(罗马书3:9)。那必须被面对、承认与处理。这群百姓不久前才一连二次『齐声说:耶和华所吩咐的,我们都必遵行』(出埃及记24:3, 7)。在摩西走后不到一个月,同样一群百姓抛弃所承诺的,要求亚伦为他们做神像,可以在他们前面引路(32:1)。亚伦这位被警告『不可随众行恶』(23:2),却在压力下这麽做,没能遵守神的第一条和第二条诫命。接著他又打破神的命令(20:23):『你们不可做什麽神像与我相配』。神将石版并祂所写的律法和诫命赐给摩西,使他可以教训百姓(24:12)。这石版是『神的工作』,是『神写的』,是『神用指头』写的字(32:16; 31:18)。摩西在怒气中xx没有注意到此,将两个石版摔碎。

*出埃及记32:11-13. 『摩西便恳求耶和华─他的神说:耶和华啊,祢为什麽向祢的百姓发烈怒呢?这百姓是祢用大力和大能的手从埃及地领出来的。为什麽使埃及人议论说祂领他们出去,是要降祸与他们,把他们杀在山中,将他们从地上除灭?求祢转意,不发祢的烈怒;后悔,不降祸与祢的百姓。求祢记念祢的僕人亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列。祢曾指著自己起誓说:我必使你们的后裔像天上的星那样多,并且我所应许的这全地,必给你们的后裔,他们要永远承受为业。』在出埃及记32:32摩西继续站在破口中,恳求他们的罪能被赦免。

请祷告:属灵xx有热心、热忱、慈爱与恩典,为著以色列错误的行为来寻求神的面;在代祷中求神转离祂的怒气,使祂对以色列的旨意能成就在地上如同在天上。

*出埃及记32:19. 『摩西挨近营前就看见牛犊,又看见人跳舞,便发烈怒,把两块版扔在山下摔碎了。』

请祷告:为xx的灵魂祷告(诗篇25:1, 20)─他们不受情绪控制,允许圣灵来运行祂的自制在其中。我们需要属神的热心,但『人的怒气并不成就神的义』(雅各书1:20)。摩西同样的怒气后来再次爆发,xx使他不能进入应许之地。

*出埃及记33:7-11. 『摩西素常将帐棚支搭在营外,离营却远,他称这帐棚为会幕。凡求问耶和华的,就到营外的会幕那裡去。当摩西出营到会幕去的时候,百姓就都起来,各人站在自己帐棚的门口,望著摩西,直等到他进了会幕。摩西进会幕的时候,云柱降下来,立在会幕的门前,耶和华便与摩西说话。众百姓看见云柱立在会幕门前,就都起来,各人在自己帐棚的门口下拜。耶和华与摩西面对面说话,好像人与朋友说话一般。摩西转到营裡去,惟有他的帮手─一个少年人嫩的儿子约书亚不离开会幕。』

在出埃及记25:22,主给予会幕(Mishkan)陈设的指示,好让祂可以在特定的时间与祂百姓中的代表相会,但在这裡摩西预备了一个地方,使他自己或别人可以选择与神会面的时间。神用祂的同在来尊荣那些会面时间,虽然祂的脸不能被看见(20节),祂却与那些选择亲近祂的人面对面。可惜的是,除了摩西外,显然只有约书亚(他还有一天预备要带领以色列进入迦南地)利用此大好机会。

请祷告:为以色列的信徒,在匆匆忙忙中能超越律法、先知与福音上『头脑的知识』,让自己空出来,分别出一个『地方』与神有个人、面对面的亲密时间!

*出埃及记33:15. 『摩西说:祢若不亲自和我同去,就不要把我们从这裡领上去。』在这裡『亲自』(presence)这个字的意思是脸(face)。诗篇44:3说『因为我们不是靠自己的刀剑得地土,也不是靠自己的膀臂得胜,乃是靠祢的右手、祢的膀臂,和祢脸上的亮光,因为祢喜悦我们!』

*出埃及记33:13, 18. 『我如今若在祢眼前蒙恩,求祢将祢的道指示我,使我可以认识祢,好在祢眼前蒙恩。求祢想到这民是祢的民…求祢显出祢的荣耀给我看。』

请祷告:为以色列的xx(包括信徒xx与世俗xx)祷告,能像摩西一样受感呼求主指引道路。祷告我们在祂的眼前蒙恩,我们的领导阶层能藉由渴慕瞻仰祂的荣美(诗篇27:4)和荣耀,而受激励、得能力。

*出埃及记33:21-22. 『耶和华说:看哪,在我这裡有地方,你要站在磐石上。我的荣耀经过的时候,我必将你放在磐石穴中,用我的手遮掩你,等我过去。』几百年后,先知以利亚从耶洗别的震怒中逃命,来到相同的山上。希伯来文说他进到『这』洞中过夜,主的话临到他(王上19:9)。犹太人在传统上认为这山洞正是上述经文的『磐石穴』。

*出埃及记34:6-7. 『耶和华在他面前宣告说:耶和华,耶和华,是有怜悯有恩典的神,不轻易发怒,并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实,为千万人存留慈爱,赦免罪孽、过犯,和罪恶,万不以有罪的为无罪,必追讨他的罪,自父及子,直到三、四代。』在这裡『赦免』的希伯来文是Nasah,Nasah有著『拿起、背负、拿走』的意思,只有神自己可以赦免千万人的罪孽、过犯,和罪恶。同样的字也用在约翰福音1:29,约翰看见耶稣来到他那裡,就说:『看哪,神的羔羊,除去(或作:背负)世人罪孽的!』


下週的阅读进度(3/8-3/14)的阅读是平常的二倍:I.『招聚』(VaYakhel),妥拉─出埃及记35:1-38:20;II. 『总数』(P’kudei),妥拉─出埃及记38:21-40:38。III. 『红母牛安息日』(Shabbat Parah),妥拉─民数记19:1-22;先知书─以西结书36:16-38。

THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION:

From ancient times there has been a weekly portion (Parasha) from the first five books of Moses (The Torah) and an ending (Haftarah) from the Prophets read on the Sabbath in synagogues around the world. This portion is given a Hebrew name drawn from the opening words of the To rah passage. An illustration of this practice appears to have been recorded in Luke 4:16 where Yeshua (Jesus) arrived in the synagogue in Nazareth and was asked to read the portion (Isaiah 61) from the Prophets. We have found that in perusing these weekly readings, not only are we provided opportunity to identify in the context of God's Word with millions of Jewish people around the world, but very often the Holy Spirit will illumine specific passages pertinent that week in our intercession for the Land and people of Israel. All texts are those of English translations of the Scriptures.

The readings for the weekend of 7 March 2015 are called Ki-Tisa-"When You Elevate":
TORAH: Exodus 30:11-34:35
HAFTARAH: I Kings 18:1-39

*Exodus 30:11-12. "Then YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 'When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number." "Take the Census" is "to raise up (Ki Tisa) the heads", in some ways similar to our English expression "to take a head-count." This was to be accompanied by a ransom, shekel tax, being paid by everyone counted, otherwise the people would find protection lifted and themselves opened to plague (vs 12). Perhaps it was through neglect of these instructions that King David would bring plague upon his own people in II Samuel 24.

*Exodus 31:2-5. "See, I have called by name Betzalel.and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom in intelligence, in knowledge, and in all craftsmanship, to design artistic works.and I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiav.and in the heart of all gifted artisans [Heb: wise-hearts] I have put wisdom to make all I have commanded."

The name Betzalel means, "In the shadow of God." Aholiav means, "Father is my tent." The safe place for all creative beings is under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1)-within the tent of our Father (Psalm 27:5). It is He who desires to fill artists (there are many artistic skills mentioned here) with His Spirit to "make all that He commands." Tragically, at the very time these instructions were being given to Moses on the mountain, Aaron (most certainly not moving under "the shadow of God"), was being coerced by the desires of those around him to use his creative gifts in fashioning an idol (Ex. 32:4). Rather than being used by the Holy Spirit to aid the people in worshipping the true God, the creative fashio ning of his hands would itself be worshipped.

PLEASE PRAY: for godly "Betzalels" and "Aholiavs" to be nurtured and brought forth in Israel today, that they will move in a humble awareness that their creative gifts, wisdom, intelligence, knowledge and craftsmanship are from God, to fulfill a work for His glory-His is their high destiny. Pray that they seek to be filled by His spirit-and resist the spirit of the world which seeks to divert the creativity of man (who was made in the Image of a creative God) away from honoring his Maker. Pray that they realize that He knows them and (as with Betzalel) calls them by name!

*Exodus 31:17. "It [i.e. the Sabbath] is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days YHVH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased work and was refreshed." We should be cautious about saying things like "Although God ceased work on the seventh day, it wasn't because he was tired and in need of a rest, etc." Of course there are mysteries here deeper than we can understand; nevertheless, this passage states clearly that on the seventh day God "ceased work and was refreshed." The word for "refreshed" literally could be rendered "was souled". So David could confidently speak of the LORD as One who intimately understands his weary servant's needs so as to "restore my soul!" (Psalm 23:3).

*Exodus 32:1-5, 19. The children of Israel were a people sovereignly chosen and set-apart by God. Last week we saw how from among these people Aaron and his house were themselves chosen to minister before the LORD as His priests (Exodus 28:1). And of course, Moses was raised up from birth to oversee and lead the people. Yet it will become abundantly clear in this reading that none of these callings, choosings and positionings were because of the righteousness of the people; alas, all are under sin (Romans 3:9). That will have to be faced, acknowledged and dealt with. The people, who, a short time before, had "with one voice" twice promised, even in the context of covenant, that "All the words which YHVH has said we will do.we will be obedient" (Exodus 24:3, 7), this people, after Moses is gone for less than a month, abandon their promise and demand of Aaron to make new gods to go before them (32:1). Aaron, who had been warned against giving in to "mob rule" (23:2), under the first pressure does so-in so doing breaking the 1st and 2nd Commandments. He then breaks God's command (20:23) not to "make anything to be with Me" by proclaiming a feast to YHVH along with the worship of the idol he has just fashioned. And Moses, to whom God had given the tablets of stone, Commandments which would be the basis for all other Law, tablets which God had written, to be used by Moses in teaching the people (24:12)-tablets which were themselves the "work of God" upon which was engraved the "writing of God" written with "the finger of God" (32:16; 31:18)-Moses, in a fit of anger, paid no attention to all of that and smashed them to pieces.

*Exodus 32:11-13. "Then Moses pleaded with the LORD his God [Hebrew: 'yearned after the face of YHVH his God'] and said, 'LORD, why does Your wrath burn hot against Your people.Turn from Your fierce wrath and relent from this harm to Your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, "I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever."'" In Exodus 32:32 Moses continues to stand in the gap, pleading that they be forgiven for their sin.

PLEASE PRAY: for spiritual leaders to have the zeal, unction, love and grace to seek the face of God on behalf of errant Israel; to prevail in intercession to turn away His just wrath that His eternal will for her will be fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven.

*Exodus 32:19. "So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses' anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain."

PLEASE PRAY: for the souls (Psalm 25:1, 20) of Israeli spiritual leaders-that they not be controlled by their emotions-that they allow the Holy Spirit to work His self-control. There is a place for godly zeal, but the "anger of man does not work the righteousness of God" (James 1:20). It would be an eruption of this same anger some time later which would in the end bar Moses from entering the Promised Land.

*Exodus 33:7-11. "Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the 'tent of meeting'. And it came to pass that everyone who sought the LORD went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tent, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tent, and talked with Moses.So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent."

In Exodus 25:22, the LORD had given instructions regarding the disposition of the Mishkan (Dwelling Place/Tabernacle) so that He might meet at appointed times with a representative of His people. But here, Moses prepares a place so that he or anyone else might choose to make his own appointed meetings with God-and God honored those times with His presence. Although His face would not be seen (vs 20), He nevertheless met face to face with those who chose to draw near. Alas, besides Moses, only Joshua (who would one day be prepared to lead Israel into Canaan) appears to have taken advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

PLEASE PRAY: For Israeli believers, in all the rush and hurry, to go beyond 'head knowledge' of the Law and the Prophets and the Gospel-and avail themselves of the privilege of setting aside a 'place' for private, intimate times Face to Face with God!

*Exodus 33:15. "Then he said to Him, 'If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here." Here the word "presence" is literally "Face". Psalm 44:3 says, "It was not by our sword that we took the land, nor did our arm bring us the victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the Light of Your Face, for You loved us!"

*Exodus 33:13, 18. "Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people..Please, show me Your glory."

PLEASE PRAY: for leaders in Israel (both believers and those still secular), to like Moses be moved to call on the LORD for guidance to be shown His way. Pray that we find grace in His sight, that our leadership will be fueled and heartened by longings after his Glory and glimpses of His Beauty (Psalm 27:4).

*Exodus 33:21-22. "And the LORD said, 'Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by." Centuries later, the prophet Elijah fleeing from t he wrath of Jezebel would come to this same mountain, and the Hebrew of I Kings 19:9 says He went into the cave to spend the night-and there the Word of the LORD came to him. Jewish teachers have traditionally identified this cave with that same "cleft" in which Moses had been placed by God.

*Exodus 34:6-7. "YHVH, YHVH-Elohim, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in loving kindnesss and truth (Hebrew: chesed v'emet), keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin." The Hebrew word used here for "forgiving" is nasah(That for "pardon" in vs 9 is a different word). Nasah has to do with "lifting, carrying, bearing away"-something which only God Himself would be able to do for the "iniquity, transgression and sin of thousands". This is the word used in Hebrew translations of John 1:29 when John announces the Son of God, "Behold! The Lamb of God who bears away the sin of the world!"
