纲目
1贰 长老们要被神的指示所灌注，以照料召会，就必须有多而彻底的祷告，好进入“读圣徒”的实际里，正如旧约里的大祭司在神面前，凭乌陵和土明读胸牌上的宝石一样——出二八29~30：
1
2一 乌陵和土明放在胸牌里，胸牌就不仅作为记念，也成为决断的胸牌——30节：
2
31 〝乌陵”意思是“光”，“照明物”——30节：
3
4a 乌陵是一种照明物，安在胸牌里面十二块宝石底下，能装油以供燃烧，而用以燃烧这油的火是来自祭坛。
4
5b 乌陵有十二个照明物，每一个照亮胸牌上十二块透明宝石中的一块，使宝石能发出光来（David Baron，巴伦）。
5
6c 乌陵预表基督作为光，照明者（约八12，路一78~79），借着那灵（油）和十字架（来自祭坛的火）而照耀。
6
72 “土明”意思是“成全者”，“完成者”——出二八30：
7
8a 胸牌十二块宝石上的名字，仅包含希伯来文二十二个字母中的十八个；其余的四个字母安在土明上，使土明成为成全者和完成者(David Baron，巴伦）。
8
9b 借着乌陵照亮个别的宝石，也借着一些宝石变暗了，全部二十二个字母就可用来拼出单字和句子。
9
10c 土明预表基督是成全者和完成者（来十二2）；如此，祂是属灵的字母，为着书写，也为着完成（参启二二13上）。
10
11d 乌陵和土明一起预表基督是神的见证人，神的见证（三14），是神对祂子民说话的凭借（来一2）。

12出二八29~30 亚伦进圣所的时候，要将决断胸牌上以色列儿子们的名字，带在胸前，在耶和华面前常作记念。你又要将乌陵和土明放在决断的胸牌里；亚伦……要带在胸前……。
12Exo. 28:29-30 ...Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart when he goes into the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually. And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron’s heart when he goes in before Jehovah...
13胸牌上的十二个名字包含希伯来文二十二个字母中的十八个；其余的四个字母安在一块叫作土明的东西上。希伯来文的土明，意即成全者或完成者。因此，在胸牌及附加的土明上，能看见全部的希伯来文二十二个字母。正如打字机键盘上的二十六个英文字母，可用来拼出单字、片语、句子或段落；照样，胸牌和土明上的二十二个希伯来文字母，也可用来拼出单字和句子（出埃及记生命读经，一六○九页）。
13The twelve names on the breastplate included eighteen of the twentytwo letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The remaining four letters were put on a piece called the Thummim. The Hebrew word Thummim means “perfecters” or “completers.” Thus, on the breastplate with the additional piece called the Thummim all twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet could be found. Just as the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet on the keys of a typewriter can be used to compose a word, phrase, sentence, or paragraph, so the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet on the breastplate and the Thummim could be used to spell out words and sentences. (Life-study of Exodus, p. 1405)

Today’s Reading
14乌陵是一种照明物，安在胸牌里面十二块宝石底下；希伯来文“乌陵”的意思就是光。……乌陵能装油燃烧，而用以燃烧这油的火是来自祭坛。……乌陵有十二个照明物，每一个照亮胸牌上的一块宝石；然后透明的宝石就能发出光来。
14The Urim was an illuminator inserted into the breastplate underneath the twelve stones. In Hebrew the word Urim means “lights”...The Urim had the capacity to contain oil for burning, and...the fire used to burn this oil came from the altar...This Urim had twelve illuminators, one to illuminate each piece of stone on the breastplate. Then the transparent stones could shine with light.
15乌陵和土明加到胸牌上，就使胸牌成为决断的胸牌。……每当约书亚需要得着关于百姓行动的引导时，他必须到大祭司面前，然后大祭司就借着乌陵和土明得着从神来的引导。因此，神是借着乌陵和土明说话。
15When the Urim and the Thummim were added to the breastplate, they caused it to become the breastplate of judgment...Whenever Joshua needed guidance concerning the move of the people, he had to go to the high priest who then received guidance from God by means of the Urim and the Thummim. Thus, God spoke through the Urim and the Thummim.
16乌陵和土明都预表基督，而胸牌预表召会。因此，乌陵和土明加到胸牌上，预表基督加到召会里。……胸牌里的十二块宝石预表信徒，就是召会的组成分子，刻有基督作属灵的字母。按照启示录，基督是阿拉法，也是俄梅嘎。既然祂是头一个字母和最后一个字母，毫无疑问，祂也是中间所有的字母。这意思是，基督乃是用来组成单字、句子、段落、章节和整本书的字母。刻在胸牌里十二块宝石上的字母，预表基督是属天的字母。
16Both the Urim and the Thummim typify Christ...The breastplate typifies the church. Therefore, the Urim and the Thummim added to the breastplate typify Christ added to the church. The twelve precious stones in the breastplate typify the believers, the components of the church, inscribed with Christ as the letters of the spiritual alphabet. According to the book of Revelation, Christ is the Alpha and the Omega. Since He is the first letter and the last, He is no doubt all the letters in between. This means that Christ is the alphabet used to compose words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, and books. The letters inscribed on the twelve stones in the breastplate typify Christ as the letters in the heavenly alphabet.
17土明……是胸牌上字母的完成者，成全者。这指明无论有多少基督写到我们里面，我们还是不完全；虽有一些字母，有一些属基督的东西，但仍有缺失。我们需要完成的基督，就是带着这些缺失字母的那一位。
17The Thummim...was a completer, a perfecter, of the letters on the breastplate. This indicates that no matter how much of Christ has been inscribed into us, we still are not complete. Some letters, something of Christ, are still missing. We need the completing Christ, the One who bears these missing letters.
18加到胸牌上的乌陵使十二块宝石发亮。……这里要紧的点乃是：即使所有的宝石都刻着字母，表征信徒都写着基督，仍会缺少一些东西。……因此，需要土明所预表的基督加到召会—胸牌里。
18The Urim added to the breastplate caused the twelve precious stones to shine...The important point here is that even with all the stones inscribed with letters signifying the believers inscribed with Christ, there was still something missing...Hence, there is the need for the Christ typified by the Thummim to be added to the church, the breastplate.
19召会里领头的人常领悟到，他们所在地的圣徒无论多么经历基督，或无论有多少基督已写到他们里面，仍会缺少一些属基督的东西。……因此，我们需要基督作为完全。不仅如此，无论我们经历基督有多少，并有基督写在我们身上，我们若倚靠自己，就仍是在黑暗里。我们需要基督作光，作乌陵，加到召会里。……即使我们对基督的经历是丰富的，仍会缺少一些属基督的东西，并且唯有基督自己才能补上。我们绝不该以为我们已经把基督用尽了。不，祂是取之不尽，用之不竭的。……我们需要基督加到我们里面。这缺少的一分基督加上时，我们就得着完全并照耀（出埃及记生命读经，一六一○、一六二九至一六三一页）。
19Often the leading ones in the church realize that no matter how much the saints in their locality have been experiencing Christ or how much of Christ has been inscribed into them, something of Christ is still missing...Therefore, we need Christ as the completion. Furthermore, no matter how much we have experienced Christ and have had Him inscribed upon us, we will still be in darkness if we depend on ourselves. We need Christ as the light, as the Urim, to be added to the church...Even though we may be rich in the experience of Christ, something of Christ is still lacking and can be made up by Him alone. We should never think that we have exhausted Christ. No, He is inexhaustible...We need Christ to be added to us. When this missing portion of Christ is added, we have the completion and the shining. (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 1405-1406, 1423-1425)

今日要点
21主题：借着祷告进入读圣徒的实际
21
22引经：出二八29~30
22
231.看见胸牌里乌陵和土明的图画：
23
24A.我们看见保罗在给提摩太的书信中说到祷告的重要，长老们或服事者要被神的指示所灌注，以照料召会，就必须有多而彻底的祷告，好进入『读圣徒』的实际里，正如旧约里的大祭司在神面前，凭乌陵和土明读决断胸牌上的宝石一样，那幅图画乃是说到，祷告是正当召会生活之先决条件的详尽描绘。
24
25B.在出二八29~30，祭司穿上的胸牌，上面有十二个名字，其包含了希伯来文二十二个字母其中的十八个，其余的四个字母安在土明上面，『土明』希伯来文的意思就是成全者或完成者，另外乌陵也安在胸牌里面十二块宝石底下，『乌陵』希伯来文的意思就是光，乌陵有十二个照明物，每一个照亮胸牌上的一块宝石，透明的宝石就能发出光来。
25
262.胸牌不仅是决断的胸牌，也是引导的胸牌：
26
27a. 借着大祭司所穿上，带着乌陵和土明的胸牌，就能看见所有字母，有如打字机，可以拼出文字来，这就使这就使胸牌成为决断的胸牌，每当约书亚需要得着关于百姓行动的引导时，他必须到大祭司面前，然后大祭司就借着乌陵和土明得着从神来的引导，神就借着乌陵和土明说话。
27
28b.乌陵和土明都预表基督，而胸牌预表召会，因此，乌陵和土明加到胸牌上，豫表基督加到召会里面，而胸牌里的十二块宝石豫表信徒，就是召会的组成分子，刻有基督作字母，然而，无论我们多么经历基督，仍缺少基督，仍需要基督来成全，来作土明的实际。
28
29应用：基督徒生活和召会生活一切的问题，都是由于缺少基督，为此，借着有分祷告聚会，并在生活中划定祷告的时间，凭乌陵和土明读决断胸牌上的宝石，使我们更多得着基督、更多基督写在我们身上，使祂作为成全者，补上我们所缺乏的一切。
