效法主耶稣-第237章
Rich Blessings From a Sabbath for the Land, August 24
效法主耶稣-第237章
“六年要耕种田地,也要修理葡萄园,收藏地的出产。第七年,地要守圣安息,就是向耶和华守的安息,不可耕种田地,也不可修理葡萄园”(利25:3、4)。{BLJ250.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第237章
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit; but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to the Lord. You shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard.Leviticus 25:3, 4, NKJV.{BLJ 250.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第237章
住棚节或收割节,以及为守节而从田园带来的礼物,在枝叶搭成的棚内住宿一周,彼此交流团聚,神圣的纪念礼节,款待上帝的工人,就是圣所供职的利未人,款待上帝的儿女,就是寄居的和贫穷的人——这一切都会使众人对那“以恩典为年岁的冠冕”、祂的“路径都滴下脂油”的主,产生感谢的心。{BLJ250.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第237章
The feast of tabernacles, or harvest festival, with its offerings from orchard and field, its week’s encampment in the leafy booths, its social reunions, the sacred memorial service, and the generous hospitality to God’s workers, the Levites of the sanctuary, and to His children, the strangers and the poor, uplifted all minds in gratitude to Him who had crowned the year with His goodness, and whose paths dropped fatness.{BLJ 250.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第237章
虔诚的以色列人每年都要足足化一个月时间这样守节。这段时间他彻底摆脱了忧虑与操劳,从最真实的意义上说,几乎完全用于教育的目的。{BLJ250.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第237章
By the devout in Israel, fully a month of every year was occupied in this way. It was a period free from care and labor, and almost wholly devoted, in the truest sense, to purposes of education.{BLJ 250.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第237章
上帝将产业分给祂的子民,祂的旨意乃是要教导他们,并通过他们教导后世的人有关土地所有权的正确原则。迦南地是分给全体人民的,只有在圣所中供职的利未人除外。一个人虽然可以在一段时间里处置他的产业,但他却不能将子孙的家产卖掉。只要有能力,他在任何时候都可以将产业赎回。债务每隔七年要豁免一次。到了第五十年,就是禧年,一切的地产都要归还原主。每家的产业就这样得到保全,不致出现或贫或富的极端现象。{BLJ250.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第237章
In apportioning the inheritance of His people, it was God’s purpose to teach them, and through them the people of after generations, correct principles concerning the ownership of the land. The land of Canaan was divided among the whole people, the Levites only, as ministers of the sanctuary, being excepted. Though one might for a season dispose of his possession, he could not barter away the inheritance of his children. When able to do so, he was at liberty at any time to redeem it; debts were remitted every seventh year, and in the fiftieth, or year of jubilee, all landed property reverted to the original owner. Thus every family was secured in its possession, and a safeguard was afforded against the extremes either of wealth or of poverty.{BLJ 250.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第237章
上帝将土地分给人民,原是为他们预备一种最适宜于发展的职业——农业和畜牧业——正如祂为伊甸园的居民所预备的那样。祂的另一种教育措施,就是每七年休耕一次,使土地得到休息,而其中自长的庄稼要留给穷人。这样就有了进修、社交、崇拜和行善的机会。这一切往往因生活的忧虑和操劳而无暇顾及。{BLJ250.5}[5]
效法主耶稣-第237章
By the distribution of the land among the people, God provided for them, as for the dwellers in Eden, the occupation most favorable to development—the care of plants and animals. A further provision for education was the suspension of agricultural labor every seventh year, the land lying fallow, and its spontaneous products being left to the poor. Thus was given opportunity for more extended study, for social interaction and worship, and for the exercise of benevolence, so often crowded out by life’s cares and labors.{BLJ 250.5}[5]
效法主耶稣-第237章
如果上帝分配产业之律法的原则能在今日的世界实行,人们的状况将会有多大的不同啊!(Ed42-44){BLJ250.6}[6]
效法主耶稣-第237章
Were the principles of God’s laws regarding the distribution of property carried out in the world today, how different would be the condition of the people!—Education, 42-44.{BLJ 250.6}[6]
