旧约 - 民数记(Numbers)第10章

The LORD said to Moses:
"Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out.
When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
If only one is sounded, the leaders--the heads of the clans of Israel--are to assemble before you.
When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.
At the sounding of a second blast, the camps on the south are to set out. The blast will be the signal for setting out.
To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the same signal.
"The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to blow the trumpets. This is to be a lasting ordinance for you and the generations to come.
When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the LORD your God and rescued from your enemies.
Also at your times of rejoicing--your appointed feasts and New Moon festivals--you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the LORD your God."
On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.
Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran.
They set out, this first time, at the LORD'S command through Moses.
The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, under their standard. Nahshon son of Amminadab was in command.
Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,
and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.
Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, set out.
The divisions of the camp of Reuben went next, under their standard. Elizur son of Shedeur was in command.
Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,
and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.
Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. The tabernacle was to be set up before they arrived.
The divisions of the camp of Ephraim went next, under their standard. Elishama son of Ammihud was in command.
Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,
and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.
Finally, as the rear guard for all the units, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out, under their standard. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was in command.
Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,
and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.
This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.
Now Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place about which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel."
He answered, "No, I will not go; I am going back to my own land and my own people."
But Moses said, "Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the desert, and you can be our eyes.
If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us."
So they set out from the mountain of the LORD and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them during those three days to find them a place to rest.
The cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, "Rise up, O LORD! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you."
Whenever it came to rest, he said, "Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel."
民数记第十章   第 10 章 

  民 10:1-10> 不同号声代表了神什么号令和心意? 

  10:1-10 神吩咐摩西造两枝银号,吹起来使各支派按次序起行。要使众人井然有序,严守规矩,就要将讯息传达清楚。吹号的另一个意义,是使人想起神对他们的保护。 

  以色列人离开西奈 

  民 10:21> 帐幕,圣物在前,预表什么?在我人生的路途上,是谁在前引领我? 

  10:21 经常旅行、搬家或面对新挑战的人,知道收拾行李(或拔营起行)是怎样一回事。人生充满改变,没有多少事物会恒久不变。以色列人在旷野不住地移动,能够适应改变,只因为神亲临会幕,与他们同在。可移动的会幕表示神与祂的百姓一同前进。对我们来说,稳定并不等于毫无变动,重要的是要与神共同进退。 

  民 10:29-32> 他对我的情谊,我心里知道就行了──怎么?这不够? 

  10:29-32 摩西赞扬何巴在旷野对他们的贡献,并表示以色列民需要他的专业知识,好顺利经过旷野。如果某人对你很重要,你由衷地感激他,就要告诉他,使对方知道他在你心中的地位,才可以建立双方良好深厚的关系。当你受人帮助后,是感恩不尽还是忘恩负义呢?你怎样让他们知道你多么需要并感激他们呢?──《灵修版圣经注释》
