出埃及记生命读经 · 第144篇

亚伦和他的儿子成圣作祭司（十二）

The sanctification of Aaron and his sons to be the priests (12)
1读经： 出埃及记二十九章二十九至四十六节。
1Scripture Reading: Exo. 29:29-46
2出埃及记二十九章三十八至四十节说：“你每天所要献在坛上的，就是两只一岁的羊羔，早晨要献这一只，黄昏的时候要献那一只。和这一只羊羔同献的，要用细面伊法十分之一，与捣成的油一欣四分之一调和；又用酒一欣四分之一，作为奠祭。”照这些经文来看，每天要献两只一岁的羊羔，早晨要献这一只，黄昏的时候要献那一只。和这一只羊羔同献的，要用细面伊法十分之一，与捣成的油一欣四分之一，又用酒一欣四分之一。
2Exodus 29:38-40 says, “And this is what you shall offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old, every day continually. The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer between the evenings; and with the one lamb a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering.” According to these verses, two lambs a year old were to be offered every day, one in the morning and the other in the evening. Along with each lamb, there was to be an offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine.
3在豫表或图画里，羊羔表征基督是顺服神并在人面前温柔的一位。基督在地上的时候，活出顺服并温柔的生活。四福音指明基督的人性是顺服的，也是温柔的。
3In typology, or in figure, a lamb signifies Christ as the One obedient to God and meek before men. When Christ was on earth, He lived a life of obedience and meekness. The four Gospels indicate that Christ in His humanity was obedient and meek.
4有些人读到基督是温柔的这段话，就希奇基督会拿绳子作成鞭子，把兑换银钱的人从殿里赶出去。（约二15。）我们必须记得，基督是包罗万有的。祂作人的时候，是顺服、温柔的。但祂也是主和主人。祂作主人的时候，需要惩治祂的子民。作父亲的也许非常温良、柔顺，但有时候还是需要管教自己的儿女。作父亲的不该说：“我对儿女应当一直像羊羔一样，因此，我不该管教他们。”在这样的情况下，他就是一个羔羊父亲；但在圣经里，没有羔羊父亲这回事。反之，父亲必须管教惩治自己的儿女。因此，主惩治祂的子民丝毫无损于祂为人的温柔。
4When some read this word about the meekness of Christ, they may wonder if Christ was meek when He took a whip of cords and drove out the moneychangers from the temple (John 2:15). We need to remember that Christ is all-inclusive. As a man, He is obedient and meek. But He is also the Lord and the Master. As the Master, it was necessary for Him to chasten His people. A father may be very gentle and meek, but it is still sometimes necessary for him to discipline his children. A father should not say, “I should always be a lamb in relation to my children. Therefore, I should not discipline them.” In such a case, he would be a lamb-father. But in the Bible there is no such thing as a lamb-father. Rather, the Bible reveals that the Father must discipline, chasten, His children. Hence, the Lord’s chastening of His people in no way detracts from His meekness as a human being.
生命的产生者和生命的供应
The life producer and life supply
5现在我们继续来看出埃及记二十九章里各项植物的生命：小麦、油、酒。在“包罗万有的基督”一书里，我们已经详细指出，小麦和大麦都是豫表基督作我们生命的供应。基督是植物的生命，是产生生命的一位。一粒麦子在产生生命和产生食物上是有用的。把一粒麦子种到地里，最终就长出并产生了小麦；把小麦磨成面粉，便适合供人食用。因此，小麦表征基督是生命的产生者，也是生命的供应。
5Let us now go on to consider the items of the vegetable life in Exodus 29: the wheat, the oil, and the wine. In The All-Inclusive Christ we have pointed out in detail that wheat and barley are both types of Christ as our life supply. As the vegetable life, Christ is the One who produces life. A grain of wheat is useful in producing life and also in producing food for eating. When a grain of wheat is sown into the ground, it eventually grows and produces wheat. When the wheat is ground into flour, it becomes suitable for eating. Therefore, wheat signifies Christ as the life producer and also as the life supply.
6约翰福音启示出基督是生命的产生者和生命的供应。在约翰六章四十一节主耶稣说：“我是从天上降下来的粮。”在同章别处，主用五个大麦饼和两条鱼餧饱了五千人。此外，照约翰十二章二十四节来看，主耶稣还是一粒麦子，落在地里，为要产生许多子粒：“我实实在在的告诉你们，一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。”约翰六章有生命的供应，而十二章有生命的产生。
6In the Gospel of John we have a revelation of Christ as the life producer and life supply. In John 6:41 the Lord Jesus said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.” Elsewhere in the same chapter, the Lord used five barley loaves and two fishes to feed the multitude. Moreover, according to John 12:24, the Lord Jesus was a grain of wheat who fell into the ground to produce many grains: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” In chapter six of John we have the life supply, and in chapter twelve, the life producing.
7早晨我们把基督当作赎罪祭献给神，就把我们带到与神清明的光景中。我们也会有清明的良心、自由的灵，与平安的空气。自然而然地，在一天之中基督就要成为我们的羊羔，我们也要活出祂这只羊羔来。不但如此，我们还要经历基督是一粒麦子。当我们活祂的时候，祂就成为我们生命的供应，并要在我们里面产生适合食用的东西。这就是长出基督作小麦的路。
7When we offer Christ to God in the morning as our sin offering, we shall be brought into a clear situation with God. We shall also have a clear conscience, a liberated spirit, and an atmosphere of peace. Spontaneously, during the day Christ will be a lamb to us, and we shall live Him as this lamb. Furthermore, we shall also experience Christ as a grain of wheat. As we live Him, He will become our life supply, and He will also produce something within us that is good for eating. This is the way to grow Christ as wheat.
8你仍然怀疑如何长出基督作小麦么？长出基督的路就是活祂作你生命的供应，并作你里面产生生命的一位。言语不彀来描述这个经历。但如果我们天天把基督当作赎罪祭献上，自自然然的，其它对基督的经历也会随之而来。我们把基督当作赎罪祭献给神，就很强地表明我们对神是认真的。也许以往我们有些漠不关心，对主也不认真。然而，把基督当作赎罪祭献给神，证明我们在活主的事上对主是认真的。先前我们也许谈论活基督，却不想认真地活祂。但从我们诚心诚意把基督当作赎罪祭献上的时候起，就表明我们对主是认真的了。我们把基督当作赎罪祭献上，结果，头上的天空就清明了，我们的灵也自由了，而且自然而然的，基督这位赐生命的灵在我们里面就有地位来运行，也有机会从里面来加力量给我们。然后自自然然的，我们就活出祂这只羊羔，也活出祂这一粒麦子。这样，我们就培育基督作羊羔，也长出基督作小麦。
8Are you still wondering how to grow Christ as wheat? The way to grow Christ is to live Him as your life supply and as the One who produces life within you. Words are not adequate to describe this experience. But if we daily offer Christ as our sin offering, other experiences of Christ will follow automatically. By offering Christ to God as our sin offering, we indicate strongly that we mean business with God. Perhaps in the past we were somewhat negligent and did not mean business with the Lord. However, offering Christ to God as a sin offering proves that we are serious with the Lord in living Him. Previously we may have talked about living Christ, but were not seriously intending to live Him. But from the time we sincerely begin to offer Christ as a sin offering, we indicate that we mean business with the Lord. As a result of offering Christ as the sin offering, the sky is clear over us, our spirit is freed, and spontaneously Christ as the life-giving Spirit has the ground in us to move and the opportunity to energize us inwardly. Then spontaneously we live Him as a lamb and also as a grain of wheat. In this way we raise Christ as a lamb, and we grow Him as wheat.
在属灵的食物上丰富
Rich in spiritual groceries
9我们愈培育基督、长出基督，在教会的聚会里，就愈有基督作动物的生命和植物的生命。然后我们属灵的食物就丰富了，因我们有基督作赎罪祭的公牛、作燔祭的羊羔，并作产生生命和供应生命的麦粒。
9The more we raise Christ and grow Christ, the more we shall have Him as the animal life and the vegetable life in the church meetings. Then we shall be rich in spiritual groceries, for we shall have Christ as the bull for a sin offering, as the lamb for a burnt offering, and as the grain that produces life and supplies life.
10在教会的聚会里，我们必须忘掉以往宗教传统的作法。我们不该再以传统的老套来祷告。反之，我们的祷告需要变化。这意思是说，我们在祷告里，应当题起基督是作赎罪祭的公牛、作燔祭的羊羔，以及作素祭的麦粒。
10In the church meetings we need to forget the past religious and traditional practices. No longer should we pray in a traditional manner. Rather, our prayers need to be transformed. This means that in our prayers we should make mention of Christ as the bull for a sin offering, as the lamb for a burnt offering, and as the grain for a meal offering.
11就基督是动物生命、是牲畜而论，神只需要一只公牛和两只羊羔。然而，我们需要有豫留的一群。倘若我们没有豫留的基督作动物的生命，我们怎能继续不断地把基督当作赎罪祭的公牛和燔祭的羊羔献上？因此，虽然我们无法培育出许多基督，因为基督是独一的，然而在经历中，我们能彀把基督培育成一群牛、一群羊，我们就有豫留的基督，能彀继续不断地把祂献给神。
11Regarding Christ as the animal life, the cattle, God requires only one bull and two lambs. However, we need to have a reserve, a flock, of Christ. If we do not have a reserve of Christ as the animal life, how shall we be able to continue offering Christ as the bull for a sin offering and as the lamb for a burnt offering? Therefore, although we cannot raise many Christs, because Christ is uniquely one, nevertheless in our experience we can raise Christ as a herd and as a flock so that we may have the reserve that will enable us to offer Him to God continually.
12就献给神的食物而论，神并不贪心，祂不是漫无节制地吃。在牲畜、动物生命里，祂只需要两只羊羔。论到细面，神只需要伊法十分之一，就是一俄梅珥。照出埃及记十六章来看，一俄梅珥是各人每天收取吗哪的分量。所以事实上，神在分量上并不需要太多。我们不该以为神吃得毫无节制。反之，神要你把一俄梅珥细面献给祂。然而，你还需要有豫留的分，你不可能在短短的时间里就长出基督作小麦。因这缘故，我们需要豫留麦子和细面。即使我们有大量的麦子，但磨成细面的却不彀多，我们没有彀多的细面作素祭。我们不但需要豫留麦子，也需要豫留细面。
12Regarding the food offered to Him, God is not greedy. He does not eat without limitation. Of the cattle, the animal life, He requires only two lambs. Concerning flour, He requires only the tenth of an ephah, that is, one omer. According to Exodus 16, an omer was the measure of each one’s daily portion of manna. Therefore, God actually does not require very much in quantity. We should not think that God’s eating has no limitation. On the contrary, God wants you to offer Him an omer of flour. However, you still need to have a reserve. It is not possible to grow Christ as wheat in a short period of time. For this reason, we need a reserve of both grain and flour. Even if we have a large quantity of grain, not enough of this grain may have been ground into flour. Then we shall not have the adequate amount of flour for a meal offering. We need a reserve not only of grain, but also of flour.
基督是涂抹的灵
Christ as the anointing Spirit
13四十节说，细面伊法十分之一，与捣成的油一欣四分之一调和。我们会发觉，没有一点油的饼很不容易下咽。通常我们是把奶油涂在面包上。照样，神吃细面也需要油。我们已经看见，细面或小麦是豫表基督作生命的供应和产生生命的一位。但油是豫表甚么呢？油是豫表基督这涂抹的灵。基督就是产生油的橄榄树，这油是豫表赐生命的灵。
13Verse 40 says that the tenth of an ephah of fine flour was mingled with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil. We would find it difficult to eat bread without some kind of oil. Usually we put butter on our bread. In like manner, God’s eating of flour also requires oil. We have seen that the flour, or wheat, typifies Christ as the life supply and as the life-producing One. But what does the oil typify? The oil here typifies Christ as the anointing Spirit. Christ is the olive tree that produces the oil which typifies the life-giving Spirit.
14最近我在Kittel所著“新约神学字典”里读到一段话，论到历史的基督和灵的基督。历史的基督是生活在地上的一位。但祂复活以后，这位历史的基督就成为灵的基督了。灵的基督这词不是表明属灵的基督；而是说到基督成了那灵、成了纽玛（pneuma）。许许多多的著者都同意说，在保罗的书信里，基督就是那灵，尤其是就着基督徒的经历而论。因此，我们不该以为说基督是赐生命的灵乃是一种错误的教导。
14Recently in Kittel’s Theological Dictionary of the New Testament I read a portion about the historic Christ and the pneumatic Christ. The historic Christ is the One who lived on earth. But after His resurrection the historic Christ became the pneumatic Christ. The term pneumatic Christ does not denote a spiritual Christ; rather, it refers to Christ as the Spirit, as the pneuma. A number of writers agree in saying that in the Epistles of Paul Christ is identical to the Spirit, especially insofar as Christian experience is concerned. Thus, we should not think that it is a false teaching to say that Christ is the life-giving Spirit.
15有些圣经教师指出，橄榄油是神圣灵的豫表。然而，这种领会只对了一部分。橄榄油不但豫表神的圣灵，也豫表基督就是那灵。那灵基督与圣灵不是分开的。不，这二者乃是一灵。
15Some Bible teachers have pointed out that olive oil is a type of the Holy Spirit of God. This understanding, however, is only partially right. The olive oil not only typifies the Holy Spirit of God, but also typifies Christ as the Spirit. Christ as the Spirit is not separate from the Holy Spirit. No, these two are one Spirit.
16在出埃及记二十九章里，基督是公牛、是羊羔、是细面，也是橄榄油。说公牛、羊羔、细面、酒是基督，而油是基督以外的东西，乃是不合逻辑的。这些东西全数是基督的豫表。
16In Exodus 29 Christ is the bull, Christ is the lambs, Christ is the flour, and Christ is also the olive oil. It would not be logical to say that the bull, the lambs, the flour, and the wine are Christ but that the oil is something other than Christ. All these categories of things are types of Christ.
17许多圣经教师想要把圣灵与基督分开，他们坚守三一神里三个分开身位的传统教训 ；根据这种教训，子基督与圣灵是分开的。那些持守这种观念的人，不懂得圣经中豫表和明言的启示，都是表明基督是赐生命的灵。
17Many teachers of the Bible try to separate the Holy Spirit from Christ. They insist on holding the traditional teaching of three separate Persons in the Trinity. According to this teaching, Christ the Son is separate from the Holy Spirit. Those who hold to this concept ignore the revelation in the Bible, expressed both in types and in plain words, that Christ is the life-giving Spirit.
18我们所关切的不是传统或系统神学。我们只在意圣经的事实和属灵的实际。出埃及记二十九章有六种食物，三种出于动物的生命，三种出于植物的生命。我们不该说，三种动物的生命和二种植物的生命是基督的豫表，而第三种植物的生命是圣灵的豫表，而不是基督的豫表。不，油在这里是豫表基督成了那灵。照圣经来看，教导人说，基督就是那灵，并不是异端。反之，否认基督就是那灵，才是异端。
18Our concern is not for tradition or systematic theology. We care only for the facts of the Scripture and for spiritual reality. In Exodus 29 there are six items of groceries, three of the animal life and three of the vegetable life. We should not say that the three items of the animal life and two of the vegetable life are types of Christ but that the third item of the vegetable life is a type of the Holy Spirit, not of Christ. No, the oil here typifies Christ as the Spirit. According to the Bible, it is not heretical to teach that Christ is the Spirit. On the contrary, it is heretical to deny it.
19公牛、羊羔、细面、橄榄油和酒都是基督不同的方面。如果你想想你的经历，你就会晓得，当你把基督当作赎罪祭献上的时候，你与神之间的整个光景就清明了。然后基督在你里面就是一只羊羔，对神是顺服的，在别人面前也是温柔的。祂又是细面，为着产生生命并供应生命。同时，祂这涂抹人的一位，也会在你里面运行。基督自己就是公牛、羊羔、细面、产生油的橄榄树和酒。
19The bull, the lambs, the flour, the olive oil, and the wine are all different aspects of Christ. If you consider your experience, you will realize that when you offer Christ as the sin offering, the whole situation between you and God becomes clear. Then in you Christ will be a lamb, obedient to God and meek in the presence of others. He will also be flour for the producing of life and the supplying of life. At the same time, He, the anointing One, will move within you. Christ Himself is the bull, the lamb, the flour, the olive tree producing oil, and the wine.
产生橄榄油
Producing olive oil
20我们如何产生橄榄油呢？换句话说，我们如何才能长出基督作橄榄树呢？我们长出祂作橄榄树并产生橄榄油，总是藉着操练我们调和的灵，就是我们重生的灵与圣灵相调和，并藉着运用这调和的灵。离了这灵，我们就不该说甚么，也不该作甚么。凡我们所作的，都该在灵里。这就是长出基督作橄榄树，也是产生油的路。
20How do we produce olive oil? In other words, how can we grow Christ as an olive tree? We grow Him as an olive tree and produce olive oil by always exercising our mingled spirit, our regenerated spirit mingled with the Holy Spirit, and by using this mingled spirit. We should not say or do anything apart from this spirit. Everything we do should be in spirit. This is to grow Christ as the olive tree, and this is the way to produce oil.
21如果我们都认真实行这些事，我们就有更多的领会。我们会晓得，羊羔、小麦、橄榄树，都是我们里面长出来的。一方面，我们是牧场；另一方面，我们是农场。在牧场上，培育出公牛，并且羊羔吃着嫩草；在农场上，长着小麦和橄榄树。结果就有丰富的油。凡是这样生活的人，在言语、态度、行动上，都会被油所充满。
21If we put all these matters into practice, we shall have more understanding of them. We shall realize that the lamb, the wheat, and the olive tree are all growing within us. On the one hand, we are a ranch; on the other hand, we are a farm. On the ranch bulls are being raised and lambs are eating tender grass. On the farm wheat and olive trees are growing. The result is that we have an abundance of oil. Anyone who lives in this way will be filled with oil in his words, attitudes, and activities.
22我们由经历中晓得，如果我们不是这样生活的话，我们就会缺少油而枯干。比方说，一位弟兄和妻子争吵的时候，两个人都枯干了，他们没有经历到膏油的涂抹。但如果一位弟兄和妻子都把基督当作赎罪祭献上，他们的言语和行动都会充满了油，他们之间会有一道橄榄油的流。
22From experience we know that if we do not live in this way, we shall be dry, very much lacking in oil. For example, when a brother is arguing with his wife, both of them are dry. They do not experience anything of the anointing. But if a brother and his wife both offer Christ as their sin offering, their words and activities together will be full of oil. Between them there will be a flow of olive oil.
23一部机器要运转，必须有油；汽车里的马达也需要油。机器缺少油的时候，常会发出刺耳的声音。夫妻之间争吵，原则上也是这样。夫妻吵嘴会发出枯干的声音来，但如果弟兄有彀多的油，甚至妻子想要吵嘴，也会由甜美愉快的事情所取代。油润滑了每件事情。你也许会说：“如果我们充满了那灵，我们就不会争吵了。”这就好极了，你们不再吵嘴，反要赞美、交通。
23In order for a machine to run, it must have oil. The motor in your car needs oil. Often, a machine that is lacking in oil will make an unpleasant sound. The same is true in principle with the arguing between husband and wife. The exchanging of words between a brother and his wife gives forth a sound of dryness. But if a brother has sufficient oil, even the exchanging of words with his wife will be replaced with something that is sweet and pleasant. The oil makes everything smooth. You may say, “But if we are full of the Spirit, we would not argue.” That would be very good. Then instead of arguing, there would be praise and fellowship.
24我们都需要橄榄油。得着油的路就是与调和的灵交通，运用我们的灵，凭着灵来生活、行动、说话并作每一件事。然后我们就有油与细面调和，作成素祭。
24We all need olive oil. The way to gain the oil is to deal with the mingled spirit, to use our spirit, and to live, walk, speak, and do everything by the spirit. Then we shall have the oil to be mingled with the flour for a meal offering.
奠祭
The drink offering
25现在我们来说奠祭的酒。我们经历基督作产生生命和供应生命的一位，就有作小麦的基督。我们在灵里生活行事，与那灵交通，就长出了橄榄树。然后我们若愿意把所经历的基督献上并浇奠出来，我们就有作酒的基督。这就是产生酒的路。
25Let us now say a word concerning the wine of the drink offering. When we experience Christ as the One who produces life and supplies life, we have Him as wheat. When we walk in spirit and do things in spirit, dealing with the Spirit, we are growing olives. Then if we are willing to sacrifice and pour out what we have experienced of Christ, we shall have Him as wine. This is the way to produce wine.
26酒的分量与油相等，都是一欣四分之一。这指明我们把自己的生命浇奠给神，不会多于我们所享受的基督。我们所浇奠的，不会超过我们享受基督的程度。油是为着享受的，酒是当作奠祭浇奠给神的。我们在灵里对那灵的经历应当浇奠出来，不该为自 己保留起来。
26The quantity of wine is the same as that of the oil. Both are a quarter of a hin. This indicates that we cannot pour our life out for God more than we have enjoyed Christ. What we pour out cannot exceed the extent of our enjoyment of Christ. The oil is for enjoyment, and the wine is to be poured out as a drink offering to God. What we experience of the Spirit in our spirit should be poured out. We should not retain it for ourselves.
27产生油就是凭基督而活，产生酒就是为基督而死。活基督就是长出小麦和橄榄树，为基督而死就是产生酒。这乃是把油变成酒。因此，我们需要活基督，也需要为祂而死。我们凭他而活，也为祂而活，这就是经历祂作小麦和橄榄油。然而我们还必须为祂而死，这就是经历祂作酒。在林前十五章三十一节保罗说：“我是天天冒死。”林后四章十一节说，他是天天经历为耶稣被交于死地。甚至在婚姻生活和家庭生活中，我们也需要天天被交于死地。这就是把我们所经历并享受的基督当作酒浇奠出来。这酒乃是天上属灵的酒，为着讨神喜悦而浇奠给神的。
27To produce oil is to live by Christ, and to produce wine is to die for Him. To live Christ is to grow wheat and olive trees; to die for Him is to produce wine. This is to turn the oil into wine. Therefore, we need to live Christ and also die for Him. We live by Him, and we live for Him. This is to experience Him as wheat and olive oil. But we also must die for Him. This is to experience Him as wine. In 1 Corinthians 15:31 Paul says, “Daily I die.” In 2 Corinthians 4:10 he says that day by day he experiences the putting to death of Jesus. We also need to be put to death day by day, even in our married life and family life. This is to pour out as wine what we have experienced and enjoyed of Christ. This wine is a heavenly spiritual wine poured out to God for His pleasure.
食物使神心满意足
Food for God’s satisfaction
28我们有了羊羔、小麦、油和酒，就有了筵席的各道菜了。我们有这些菜，乃是因着天天把基督当作我们的赎罪祭献上。倘若我们这样把基督献上，我们就有清明的良心和自由的灵。然后基督就会活在我们里面作羊羔、小麦、橄榄树、葡萄树。因此，我们就培育基督成羊羔，并长出祂作小麦、橄榄树、葡萄树。结果我们便有美地的出产作属灵的食物。我们来到教会的聚会里，应当把这些食物带来。这意思不是说，我们应当把所出产的全数带来。反之，我们该带来两只羊羔，细面伊法十分之一，油一欣四分之一，和酒一欣四分之一。然后我们该把这些当作食物献给神，让祂心满意足。
28When we have the lambs, the wheat, the oil, and the wine, we have all the courses for a feast. We have these courses by daily offering Christ as our sin offering. If we practice offering Him in this way, we shall have a clear conscience and a free spirit. Then Christ will live in us as the lamb, the wheat, the olive tree, and the grape vine. Therefore, we shall raise Christ as a lamb and grow Him as wheat, olive trees, and vines. The result will be that we shall have the produce of the good land as our spiritual groceries. When we come to the meetings of the church, we should bring these groceries with us. This does not mean that we should bring all that we have produced. Rather, we should bring two lambs, a tenth of an ephah of flour, a quarter of a hin of oil, and the same amount of wine. We should then offer all this to God as food for His satisfaction.
