摩西与神同在(四)

Moses’ stay with God (4)
1读经: 出埃及记三十四章。
1Scripture Reading: Exo. 34
2出埃及记三十四章记载摩西与神同在的事,其中有三个主题:与主一同守节、与主一同安息,享受主的五个条件,以及神将自己注入到摩西里面。在前两篇信息里,我们论到三个节期、安息日,以及五个条件。本篇信息在一段引言和复习的话之后,我们要来看神将自己注入到摩西里面。
2Chapter thirty-four of Exodus, the record of Moses’ stay with God, covers three main subjects: feasting with the Lord and resting with Him, five conditions for enjoying the Lord, and God’s infusion of Himself into Moses. In the two foregoing messages we covered the three feasts and the Sabbath and the five conditions. In this message, after a word of introduction and review, we shall consider God’s infusion of Himself into Moses.
领会出埃及记三十四章的关键
The key to understanding Exodus 34
3我们已经看见,摩西将写着十诫的两块石版摔碎了,这指明神与以色列人所立的约被干犯了。在二十至二十四章立了一个约,并且洒上赎罪祭性的血来加以保证。我们可以说,约的保证实际上就是神亲自签了约。神洒上祭牲赎罪的血来签了这约。这约的条款乃是十诫以及所有的条例。神要百姓完全、彻底地与祂立约。但因着金牛犊事件,约被干犯了。然而,因着神的怜悯,祂来恢复被毁坏的约。这就是神吩咐摩西凿出两块石版,到山顶上与祂相会的原因。神的心意乃是要恢复这约。
3We have seen that Moses broke into pieces the two tablets containing the Ten Commandments. This indicates that the covenant made by God with the children of Israel was broken. A covenant was made in chapters twenty through twenty-four, and this covenant was sealed by the sprinkling of the blood of the redeeming sacrifice. We may say that the sealing of the covenant was actually the signing of the covenant by God. God signed the covenant by sprinkling it with the redeeming blood of the sacrifice. The terms of this covenant were the Ten Commandments with all the ordinances. God wanted to have His people completely and thoroughly covenanted to Him. But because of the incident of the golden calf, the covenant was broken. However, in His mercy God came in to recover this broken covenant. This was the reason God told Moses to hew out two tablets of stone and to come up to the mountaintop to meet with Him. God’s intention was to recover the covenant.
4没有疑问,摩西盼望神重新颁赐十诫和条例。他为此豫备了两块石版,随身带到山顶上的时候,也许很喜乐。但摩西到达山顶,神也降临到他那里以后,神却没有将十诫赐给摩西,反倒作了一些其它的事情。神第二次将十诫赐给摩西以前对摩西所说的话,乃是照着祂心头真实的愿望。神的心意不是仅仅要得着一班人来遵守祂的诫命与条例。神的心意乃是要将祂自己分赐到祂的选民里面,使他们完全被祂注入,好彰显祂。
4Moses no doubt expected God to repeat the giving of the Ten Commandments and the ordinances. He may have been happy as he prepared the two tablets of stone for this purpose and brought them with him to the mountaintop. But after Moses arrived there and God descended to him, God did something else instead of giving Moses the Ten Commandments. What God spoke to Moses before giving him the Ten Commandments the second time was according to the real desire of His heart. It was not God’s intention merely to have a people to keep His commandments and ordinances. God’s intention was to dispense Himself into His chosen people so that they would be fully infused with Him in order to express Him.
5一开始,律法就不是神原初的心意。在豫表里,律法的地位乃是妾的地位,由夏甲所豫表。这指明在神看来、在神的经纶里,律法没有尊荣的地位,正如妾没有合法的地位一样。圣经说,律法是添上的。律法不是神原初的心意,所以没有尊荣的地位。就一面说,律法是神被迫颁布的。
5From the very beginning, the law did not have a standing as part of God’s original intention. In typology, the position of the law is that of a concubine, typified by Hagar. This indicates that in the sight of God and in His economy the law does not have a place of honor just as a concubine does not have a legal position. The Bible says that the law was something added. It was not a part of God’s original intention and therefore does not have a place of honor. In a sense, God was forced to decree the law.
6神不高兴,不是因着两块石版被摔碎了。神发怒,不是因着石版摔碎了,而是因着拜金牛犊。神在三十四章与摩西相会的时候,不是先说到与十诫有关的事。
6God was not unhappy because the two tablets were broken. God was angry not because of the breaking of the tablets, but because of the idolatry of the golden calf. When He met with Moses in chapter thirty-four, He did not at first say anything about the Ten Commandments.
7神首先告诉摩西,祂要行奇妙的事,好将百姓带进美地:“耶和华说,我要立约,要在百姓面前行奇妙的事,是在遍地万国中所未曾行的;在你四围的外邦人,就要看见耶和华的作为,因我向你所行的是可畏惧的事。我今天所吩咐你的,你要谨守;我要从你面前撵出亚摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人。”(10~11。)神行神迹的目的,是要将百姓带进美地,在那里享受祂。
7First God told Moses that He would do marvels in order to bring the people into the good land: “And He said, Behold, I am making a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels which have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in all the nations; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Jehovah, for it is a fearful thing which I am doing with you. Observe what I am commanding you this day; behold, I will drive out from before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite” (vv. 10-11). God would do miracles for the purpose of bringing the people into the good land where they could enjoy Him.
8其次,神警戒百姓,不可拜偶像。(12~17。)主说:“不可敬拜别神,因为耶和华是忌邪的神,名为忌邪者。”(14。)祂也说“不可为自己铸造神像。”(17。)神明确地警告百姓,要远离各样的偶像。我们不可容让任何东西代替了神。我们必须单单以祂为神。
8Second, God warned the people regarding idolatry (vv. 12-17). The Lord said, “You shall not bow yourself down to another god, for Jehovah — Jealous is His name — is a jealous God” (v. 14). He also said, “You shall not make for yourself molten gods” (v. 17). God definitely warned the people to stay away from every kind of idolatry. We must not allow anything to be a substitute for God or a replacement for Him. We must take Him and Him alone as God.
9然后主继续对摩西说到与祂一同守节、与他一同安息。在十八节祂说:“你要守除酵节,照我所吩咐你的,在亚笔月内所定的日期,吃无酵饼七天,因为你是这亚笔月内出了埃及。”在二十二节祂接着说:“在收割初熟麦子的时候,要守七七节;又在年底,要守收藏节。”在二十一节,主对摩西说到守安息日:“你六日要作工,第七日要安息,虽在耕种收割的时候,也要安息。”所以我们能彀看见,主对摩西说到拜偶像和守节、安息的事。但这时候,祂对于十诫和各样的条例却只字不题。反之,祂吩咐摩西说,男丁要一年三次与祂一同守节,并且他们每七天要与祂一同安息,来记念祂。
9Then the Lord went on to speak to Moses concerning feasting with Him and resting with Him. In verse 18 He said, “You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time of the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.” In verse 22 He continued, “You shall observe the feast of weeks, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the feast of the ingathering at the turn of the year.” In verse 21 the Lord spoke to Moses about keeping the Sabbath: “Six days you shall work, and on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.” We can see, therefore, that the Lord spoke to Moses about idolatry and about feasting and resting. But at this time He did not say a word concerning the Ten Commandments and the ordinances. Instead, He told Moses that the males were to feast with Him three times a year and that every seven days they were to remember Him by resting with Him.
10在已过的信息里我们指出,这一章所题起的三个节期,表明我们需要每天三次与主一同守节。此外,我们也看见,每周的安息日表明一天之中,也许每十五、二十分钟,我们就该小憩片刻,与主一同安息这样来记念祂。一年是时间的一个转换,一天也是一个转换。我们应当天天与主一同守节、与主一同安息。守节与安息都是为着享受主。
10In a previous message we pointed out that the three feasts mentioned in this chapter indicate that we need to feast with the Lord three times a day. Furthermore, we have seen that the weekly Sabbath indicates that during the day, perhaps every fifteen or twenty minutes, we should take a break to remember the Lord by resting with Him. A year is a turn of time, and a day is also such a turn. Daily we should feast with the Lord and rest with Him. Both the feasting and the resting are for the enjoyment of the Lord.
11在出埃及记三十四章,主不仅对摩西说到守节与安息;祂也吩咐摩西五件事,就是神的百姓为了享受祂所必须履行的条件。按我们天然的领会,这五点都是微不足道的。头一个条件是,头生的驴要用羊羔代赎,(20,)末了一个条件是论到不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。(26。)为甚么主不对摩西说到孝敬父母,或不可杀人的诫命 ?为甚么祂对摩西说到这类的事,就如头生的驴要用羊羔代赎,以及不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔?原因乃是说,如果我们不履行这五个条件,我们对主的享受就会中断。倘若我们要与主一同守节、一同安息来维持对祂的享受,我们就必须顾到这五个似乎是微不足道的条件。
11In Exodus 34 the Lord not only spoke to Moses about feasting and resting; He also charged him with five matters that are conditions to be fulfilled in order for God’s people to enjoy Him. According to our natural understanding, each of these five points is insignificant. The first of these conditions is the matter of redeeming the firstling of a donkey with a lamb (v. 20), and the last is the word about not boiling a kid in its mother’s milk (v. 26). Why did the Lord not speak to Moses about the honoring of parents or about the commandment concerning murder? Why did He speak to him about such things as redeeming the firstling of a donkey with a lamb and about not boiling a kid in its mother’s milk? The reason is that if we do not fulfill these five conditions, our enjoyment of the Lord will be broken. If we would maintain our enjoyment of the Lord by feasting and resting with Him, we must take care of these five seemingly insignificant requirements.
12如果我们单用头脑来研读出埃及三十四章,我们就无法领会这一章。但如果我们在属灵经历的光中来看这一章,我们就会看见这里的关键乃是享受主。这一章启示出,我们需要终日与主一同守节、与主一同安息来享受主。此外,随着这种享受,以及为了维持这种享受,我们还需要履行五个条件。
12If we study Exodus 34 only with our mentality, we shall not be able to understand this chapter. But if we consider this chapter in the light of our spiritual experience, we shall see that the key here is the enjoyment of the Lord. This chapter reveals that we need to enjoy the Lord all day long by feasting with Him and resting with Him. Furthermore, along with this enjoyment and as a requirement for maintaining it, we need to fulfill five conditions.
13在出埃及记三十四章,摩西好像关心颁布律法的事,而不关心享受主或主注入到他里面。如果我们读这一章蒙了光照,就会晓得我们不该全专注于十诫和各样条例,因为神更关心我们有没有顾到守节顾到安息日。我们需要顾到一再与主一同守节、一同安息。我们需要以祂为筵席,并与祂一同安息,作为我们对祂完满的享受。然后我们就会被祂注入。结果,我们里面就被充满,外面就会照耀。
13It seems that in Exodus 34 Moses was concerned for the decree of the law, not for the enjoyment of the Lord or for the infusion of the Lord into him. If we are enlightened as we read this chapter, we shall realize that we should not focus our attention on the Ten Commandments and the ordinances, because God is more concerned that we take care of the feasts and the Sabbaths. We need to take care of the repeated feasting and resting with the Lord. We need to feast on Him and rest with Him for our full enjoyment of Him. Then we shall be infused with Him. As a result, we shall be filled inwardly, and we shall shine outwardly.
14倘若我们没有这个秘诀,我们就会发觉出埃及记三十四章很不容易领会。谁能解释为甚么在这一章里面,神只题起七个节期中的三个?为甚么把许多要紧的诫命和条例搁在一旁,而题起五个条件,论到驴要用羊羔代赎,不可将祭物的血和有酵的饼一同献上,逾越节的祭物不可留到早晨,地里初熟之物要送到神的殿,不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔?如果我们有了享受主的秘诀,就会看见这五件事不是微不足道的。反之,就享受主而论,这些事乃是极其要紧的。
14If we do not have the key, we shall find Exodus 34 very difficult to understand. Who can explain why in this chapter God mentions only three of the seven feasts? Why are so many important commandments and ordinances set aside, and instead there is mention of five requirements related to redeeming a donkey with a lamb, not offering the blood of the sacrifice with leavened bread, not allowing the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover to remain until the morning, bringing the firstfruits of the ground to the house of God, and not boiling a kid in its mother’s milk? If we have the key of the enjoyment of the Lord, we shall see that these five matters are not insignificant. On the contrary, concerning the enjoyment of the Lord, these matters are crucial.
重复的话
A word of repetition
15我们已经看见,出埃及记三十四章是前面三十三章的摘要和结语。凡在这里重复的话,都非常要紧,如果不要紧,就不会重复了。二十七节说:“耶和华吩咐摩西说,你要将这些话写上,因为我是按这话的要旨与你和以色列人立约。”(另译。)繙作“要旨”的希伯来字原意是口。所以,在二十七节主告诉摩西,祂是按“这话的口”与他和以色列人立约。这些话都是百姓必须遵守之约的条件。为甚么二十七节说“按这话的口”?主也许对摩西说:“这些话已经说过了,现在我要再说一遍,重新加以申述。”这一章里面所有的,乃是讲论、申述已经说过的话。这段重复的话说出了以色列人遵守神之约的条件。
15We have seen that Exodus 34 is both a brief sketch and a conclusion of the preceding thirty-three chapters. Whatever is repeated here is very important. If it were not important, it would not have been repeated. Verse 27 says, “And Jehovah said to Moses, Write these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” The Hebrew word rendered “tenor” literally means mouth. Therefore, in verse 27 the Lord is telling Moses that according to the “mouth of these words” He made a covenant with him and with Israel. All these words were terms, conditions, of the covenant that the people were required to keep. Why does verse 27 say “according to the mouth of these words”? The Lord may have been saying to Moses, “These words were spoken already. Now I wish to speak them again. I shall mouth them again.” What we have in this chapter is the speaking, the mouthing, of a word already spoken once. This repetition gives the terms for the keeping of God’s covenant by the children of Israel.
16我要强调一件事实,就是这里没有题起诫命或条件。主警戒拜偶像的事以后,就说到节期、安息日,以及享受主的五个条件。这里有三个节期作我们的享受,有安息日作我们的安息,并有五个条件为着我们的日常生活。倘若我们履行这些条件,我们就会在完满的享受里与神一同守节、与神一同安息,来完成祂的旨意。不但如此,照以下各章来看,帐幕、居所也要为神建造起来。
16I would emphasize the fact that here there is no mention of the commandments or the ordinances. After the warning concerning idolatry, we have the Lord’s speaking concerning the feasts, the Sabbath, and the five conditions for enjoying the Lord. Here we have three feasts for our enjoyment, the Sabbath for our rest, and the five conditions for our daily life. If we fulfill these conditions, we shall feast with God and rest with Him in full enjoyment for the fulfillment of His purpose. Further, according to the following chapters, a tabernacle, a dwelling place, will be built up for God.
神的注入
God’s infusion
17出埃及记三十四章二十八节、二十九节说:“摩西在耶和华那里四十昼夜,也不吃饭,也不喝水;耶和华将这约的话,就是十条诫,写在两块版上。摩西手里拿着两块见证的版,下西乃山的时候,不知道自己的面皮,因耶和华和他说话就发了光。”(另译。)这里我们看见,神将这约的话写在两块石版上以后,就打发摩西下山。神的心意乃是要百姓享受祂;然而,摩西的心意是要把诫命带给百姓。我信摩西下山的时候,非常喜乐,他晓得这一次没有金牛犊的问题了。二十九节说,摩西不跷得他的面皮发了光。神的自己已经注入到摩西里面,但摩西不晓得他的脸上发了光。也许他心里所思想的,乃是两块石版上的十诫;他一点不关心神的注入。
17Exodus 34:28 and 29 say, “And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. And he wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words. And it came about, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai — and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hands when he came down from the mountain — that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone in His speaking with him.” Here we see that after God wrote the words of the covenant upon the tablets, He sent Moses down to the foot of the mountain. God’s intention was that His people would enjoy Him. However, Moses’ intention was to bring the commandments to the people. I believe that as Moses was coming down the mountain, he was very happy. He knew that this time there was not the problem of a golden calf. Verse 29 says that Moses did not know that the skin of his face was shining. God had infused Moses with Himself. But Moses did not realize that his face was shining. Perhaps his heart was filled with thoughts concerning the Ten Commandments on the two stone tablets. He may not have had any concern for God’s infusion.
18我们需要神的注入。然而,我们来到圣经面前,也许把它当作“石版”,把每一个字都当作给我们遵守的诫命。我们的心意也许是要领受诫命,而不是要经历神的注入。例如,晨更的时候,我们从圣经得着了活的话,但这话对我们也许会成为一条诫命。我们不晓得神的愿望不是要给我们诫命的话,而是要把他自己注入到我们全人里面。有时候因着神的注入,我们带着发光的脸从晨更中出来。但因着我们关心诚命过于注入,就不晓得自己的脸上发了光。
18We need God’s infusion. However, when we come to the Bible, we may regard it as “tablets” and take every word as a commandment for us to fulfill. Our intention may be to receive commandments, not to experience God’s infusion. For example, in morning watch we may receive a living word from the Bible, but that word may become a commandment to us. We may not realize that it is not God’s desire to give us a word of commandment; God’s desire is to infuse Himself into our being. Sometimes we may come from morning watch with a shining face because of God’s infusion. But because we care more for commandments than for infusion, we may not know that our face is shining.
摩西脸上的帕子
The veil on Moses’ face
19三十节说:“亚伦和以色列众人看见摩西的面皮发光,就怕挨近他。”摩西不知道自己的脸上发了光,但亚伦和以色列人晓得,就因他发光的脸面害怕。摩西与他们相会以后,也晓得自己的面皮发了光。因此,“摩西与他们说完了话,就用帕子蒙上脸。”(33。)但摩西回到神面前的时侯,就揭去帕子:“摩西进到耶和华面前与祂说话,就揭去帕子;及至出来的时候,便将耶和华所吩咐的告诉以色列人。以色列人看见摩西的面皮发光,摩西又用帕子蒙上脸,直到他进去与耶和华说话的时候。”(34~35,另译。)这指明摩西敞着脸与神说话。这也使我们想起保罗在林后三章十八节所说,以没有帕子遮蔽的脸来观看并返照主,就变化成为祂的形像。这也是发光的问题,因为发光就是神的形像显现出来。今天我们需要揭去帕子,以没有帕子遮蔽的脸来观看并返照主。然后我们就会变化成为祂的形像,这就是我们发了光。
19Verse 30 says, “And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.” Moses did not know that his face was shining, but Aaron and the children of Israel knew it, and they were frightened by his shining face. After Moses met with them, he also realized that the skin of his face was shining. Therefore, “when Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil upon his face” (v. 33). But when Moses returned to God, he took off the veil: “When Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with Him, he took the veil off until he came out; and when he came out, he spoke to the sons of Israel what he was commanded. And the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone. And Moses put the veil on his face again until he went in to speak with Him” (vv. 34-35). This indicates that Moses had an open face to converse with God. This also reminds us of Paul’s word in 2 Corinthians 3:18 about beholding the Lord with an unveiled face and reflecting Him as we are transformed into His image. This too is a matter of shining, for the shining is the appearing of God’s image. Today we need to take off the veil to behold and reflect the Lord with an unveiled face. Then we shall be transformed into His image, and that will be our shining.
20我们已经指出,摩西到神面前去的时候,就揭去帕子,但他和百姓说话的时候,就蒙上帕子。今天许多基督徒的光景正好相反。他们到神面前去的时候,就蒙上帕子, 及至和人说话的时候,却揭去帕子。
20We have pointed out that when Moses went to God, he took off the veil, but when he spoke to the people, he put the veil on. The situation with many Christians today is the opposite. When they go to God, they put the veil on, but when they speak to others, they take the veil off.
21在林后三章十三节,保罗解释为甚么摩西和以色列人说话的时侯将帕子蒙在脸上。保罗说,摩西“将帕子蒙在脸上,叫以色列人不能定睛看到那渐渐废去者的结局。”(恢复版)摩西将神的话告诉以色列人的时候,就揭去脸上的帕子,说完了话以后,就用帕子蒙上脸,免得他们看见渐渐退去之职事的结局。他不愿他们看见律法职事的荣光渐渐废去。百姓看见荣光渐渐退去,就是看见律法的结束。
21In 2 Corinthians 3:13 Paul explains why Moses put a veil on his face when he spoke to the children of Israel. Paul says that Moses “put a veil on his face, that the sons of Israel should not gaze unto the end of that which was being done away.” While Moses spoke the word of God to the children of Israel, he kept his face unveiled. After speaking, he veiled his face lest they should see the end of his ministry, which was passing away. He did not want them to behold the termination of the fading glory of his ministry of the law. For the people to see the fading away of the shining would have been for them to see the termination of the law.
22今天我们所经历的发光不是在于律法,而是在于享受基督。在新约里,没有遵守律法,只有享受节期。新约的教训以享受基督为焦点,律法已经被享受基督所取代。因此,我们不需要有一层帕子,也用不着害怕荣光会废去。我们在神在人面前,都能彀敞着脸。
22The shining we experience today is not in the law; it is in the enjoyment of Christ. In the New Testament, we do not have the keeping of the law — we have the enjoyment of the feast. The teaching of the New Testament is focused on enjoying Christ. The law has been replaced by feasting on Christ. Therefore, we do not need to have a veil, and we do not need to fear a termination of the glory. We can keep our face unveiled before both God and man.
长久与神同在
A lengthy stay with God
23我们必须记得,本篇信息的题目是“摩西与神同在”。摩西脸上发光,乃是长久与神同在的结果。倘若我们要因主的荣耀发光,我们也需要长久与神同在。出埃及记三十四章二十八节说:“摩西在耶和华那里四十昼夜,也不吃饭,也不喝水。”我们无法解释摩西怎么能不吃不喝,与神同在四十天。没有疑问,是神使这件事成为可能的。
23We may need to be reminded that the title of this message is “Moses’ Stay with God.” It was as a result of his long stay with God that Moses’ face was shining. If we would shine with the Lord’s glory, we also need to have a lengthy stay with God. Exodus 34:28 says, “And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread, and he did not drink water.” We cannot explain how Moses could have been with the Lord for forty days without eating or drinking. No doubt, it was God who made this possible.
24我们已经题过,如果我们要与神同在,就需要把一切尽都忘掉。主吩咐摩西到山顶上与祂相会的时候,对他说:“谁也不可和你一同上去,遍山都不可有人、在山根也 不可叫羊群牛群吃草。”(3。)这指明我们与神相会的时候,该忘掉我们的财产,我们的需要,甚至我们的家人。此外,我们也不该顾到自己。我们只该留在神的面光中。
24As we have already mentioned, if we would stay with God, we need to forget everything else. When the Lord told Moses to come to the top of the mountain to meet with Him, He said to him, “No man shall come up with you, neither let any man be seen on all the mountain; neither let the flocks and the herds feed before that mountain” (v. 3). This indicates that when we meet with God, we should forget our possessions, our necessities, and even our family. Furthermore, we should not care for ourselves. We should simply stay in the presence of God.
25圣经没有告诉我们,神和摩西这四十天一同作了些甚么。然而,我们的确晓得,在这段期间,摩西完全被神注入、被神浸透。似乎摩西这四十天除了接受神的光照和注入以外,甚么也没有作。这是荣耀的。在这四十天里发生了奇妙的事:神将祂自己注入到摩西里面,并以祂自己来浸透摩西。如果我们看见这件事的意义,我们在与主交通和基督徒的生活上,就会得着许多帮助。
25We are not told what God and Moses did together those forty days. However, we do know that during that period of time Moses was fully infused with God and saturated with Him. It seems that Moses did not do anything for those forty days except receive God’s enlightening and His infusing. This was glorious. Something wonderful was taking place during those forty days: God was infusing Himself into Moses and saturating Moses with Himself. If we see the significance of this, we shall receive much help concerning our fellowship with the Lord and our Christian life.
将神注入到我们里面的说话
The kind of speaking that infuses us with God
26如果我们将三十四章全部读过,我们就会看见,神注入到摩西里面乃是藉着祂的说话。倘若神不过是述说十诫和各样条例,我信摩西不会得着多少注入。你晓得怎样的说话注入到你里面?乃是论到享受主,论到守节与安息,以及如何享受祂的话注入到你里面。这样的说话把神注入到我们里面,并且使我们发光。
26If we read all of chapter thirty-four, we shall see that God’s infusing into Moses was by His speaking. If God had done nothing more than speak the Ten Commandments and the ordinances, I do not believe that Moses would have received much infusion. Do you know what kind of speaking infuses you? It is the Lord’s speaking about the enjoyment of Him, His speaking about feasting and resting and the conditions for enjoying Him. This kind of speaking infuses us with God and causes us to shine.
27我能作见证,许多年前,我没有因查经聚会得着多少注入。但我听见倪弟兄讲到经历主时,便从主得着注入。我们许多人都能证实有过这样的经历。因着主和我们说话,我们里面就开始发光。
27I can testify that I did not receive much infusion from sitting in Bible study meetings many years ago. But when I listened to Brother Nee speaking on the experience of the Lord, I received an infusion from the Lord. Many of us can testify of having had this kind of experience. There began to be a shining within us because of the Lord’s speaking with us.
28二十九节下半不该译作“因他和耶和华说话”,而该译作“因耶和华和他说话”。这指明摩西脸上发光不是他和神说话的结果,而是神和他说话的结果。我们愈说话,就愈拦阻主注入到我们里面。但祂愈和我们说到享受祂,我们就愈得着注入。我们都要像摩西一样让主说话,让祂对我们说到节期、安息日,和享受祂的条件。神论到享受主的话,总是注入的话。
28The last part of verse 29 should be translated “in His speaking with him,” not “in his speaking with Him.” This indicates that the shining of Moses’ face resulted not from his speaking with God, but from God’s speaking with him. The more we talk, the more we may hinder the Lord’s infusing of us. But the more He speaks to us concerning the enjoyment of Himself, the more we shall be infused. Let us all be like Moses and let the Lord do the speaking. Let us allow Him to speak to us concerning the feasts, the Sabbath, and the conditions for enjoying Him. God’s word concerning the enjoyment of Himself is always a word of infusion.
29我们感谢主,将出埃及记三十四章向我们开启。赞美主,在这一章里面,我们看见守节与安息、享受主的五个条件,以及神说到享受祂来将祂注入到我们里面。
29We thank the Lord for opening Exodus 34 to us. Praise Him that in this chapter we see the feasting and the resting, the five conditions for enjoying the Lord, and the infusion of God into us by His speaking concerning the enjoyment of Himself.
