旧约 - 出埃及记(Exodus)第6章

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country."
God also said to Moses, "I am the LORD.
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself known to them.
I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they lived as aliens.
Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.
"Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.
I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.'"
Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and cruel bondage.
Then the LORD said to Moses,
"Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his country."
But Moses said to the LORD, "If the Israelites will not listen to me, why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with faltering lips?"
Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron about the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he commanded them to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
These were the heads of their families: The sons of Reuben the firstborn son of Israel were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These were the clans of Reuben.
The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. These were the clans of Simeon.
These were the names of the sons of Levi according to their records: Gershon, Kohath and Merari. Levi lived 137 years.
The sons of Gershon, by clans, were Libni and Shimei.
The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. Kohath lived 133 years.
The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of Levi according to their records.
Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, who bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years.
The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg and Zicri.
The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan and Sithri.
Aaron married Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah and Abiasaph. These were the Korahite clans.
Eleazar son of Aaron married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These were the heads of the Levite families, clan by clan.
It was this same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "Bring the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions."
They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing the Israelites out of Egypt. It was the same Moses and Aaron.
Now when the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,
he said to him, "I am the LORD. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I tell you."
But Moses said to the LORD, "Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?"
出埃及记第六章   第 6 章 

  出 6:6> 到这时神才开始要拯救百姓,只缘…… 

  6:6 杀鸡不用宰牛刀。惟有我们面对重大困难,神才有机会施展大能。希伯来人的苦况日甚一日,神就准备伸出大能的手,行大神迹拯救他们。请问你的困难有多严重?有最大的困难才能把你放在最好的境地上,来目睹祂施展的大能。 

  出 6:6-8> “我也要作你们的神”,神是以色列的神,但,这又与我们何干? 

  6:6-8 以色列人出埃及的时候,神的这些应许就完全应验了。祂释放他们脱离埃及的奴役,作他们的神,接纳他们作祂的子民。祂又领他们前往应许之地。神对以色列人的拯救,正是全人类得救恩的图画。神救赎我们脱离罪恶,祂也拯救我们,收纳我们,作我们的神。我们跟随祂,祂就领我们过新的生活。 

  出 6:9-12> 你有不想听神的话也不想见人的经历吗?如何走出这困境? 

  6:9-12 摩西将神的话传给以色列人,他们极其灰心,不想听从,不愿再听到神的事,也不想听到神的应许,因为他们上次听从摩西,所得的结果是更沉重的苦工,更深的痛苦。同样,我们有时听到神清楚的信息,可是以后情势显然毫无改善,甚至遭遇挫折逆境,使人没有心情再听神的事。如果你是作领导的,就不要灰心,要像摩西一样,继续把神的信息告诉百姓,专心顺服,不必推算后果。卓越的领袖,不介意一时的成败。 

  出 6:10-12> 摩西得不到群众支持,孤身面对强敌,惟一的依靠就是神;如果是我…… 

  6:10-12 摩西面对同胞,尚且不获信任,叫他去对埃及王法老传讲神的信息,那是何等的困难。最后百姓终于相信是神差遣他的,不过,期间必有一段时间他会感到很孤单。无论怎样,摩西总算顺服了神。请记住当任务易如反掌之时,自然人人支持,个个顺服;可是当任务似乎难如登天的时候,惟有具备坚毅信仰之人,才会顺命执行。 

  出 6:14-25> 这一列长长的家谱寻到了根── 

  6:14-25 这一段经文插入以色列人的家谱,好更加确定摩西与亚伦的身分。族谱用来建立人的信誉与权威,也概略地列出家族的历史。 

  出 6:26> 神喜爱一切都有秩序,…… 

  6:26 神要摩西将以色列人按支派、宗族、家族领出埃及。──《灵修版圣经注释》
