旧约 - 利未记(Leviticus)第10章

Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command.
So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.
Moses then said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD spoke of when he said: "'Among those who approach me I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honored.'" Aaron remained silent.
Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and said to them, "Come here; carry your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary."
So they came and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses ordered.
Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not let your hair become unkempt, and do not tear your clothes, or you will die and the LORD will be angry with the whole community. But your relatives, all the house of Israel, may mourn for those the LORD has destroyed by fire.
Do not leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting or you will die, because the LORD'S anointing oil is on you." So they did as Moses said.
Then the LORD said to Aaron,
"You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,
and you must teach the Israelites all the decrees the LORD has given them through Moses."
Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Take the grain offering left over from the offerings made to the LORD by fire and eat it prepared without yeast beside the altar, for it is most holy.
Eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons' share of the offerings made to the LORD by fire; for so I have been commanded.
But you and your sons and your daughters may eat the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. Eat them in a ceremonially clean place; they have been given to you and your children as your share of the Israelites' fellowship offerings.
The thigh that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to be waved before the LORD as a wave offering. This will be the regular share for you and your children, as the LORD has commanded."
When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's remaining sons, and asked,
"Why didn't you eat the sin offering in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the community by making atonement for them before the LORD.
Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place, you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded."
Aaron replied to Moses, "Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the LORD have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?"
When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.
利未记第十章   第 10 章 

  拿答与亚比户 

  利 10:1> 神不会计较我们的身分地位,但不会容忍轻慢的态度…… 

  10:1 燔祭坛上的火,当永远点着不可熄灭( 6:12-13 ),表明它是神圣的。拿答和亚比户在神面前献上的凡火是什么呢?可能是他们二人从别处将炭火带到这坛上,是不圣洁的;也可能指二人不按主所规定的时间献祭。不管怎样,他们二人是滥用了祭司的职权而轻慢神,因为神刚刚才对他们详示过敬拜之道。他们身为领袖,就有顺服神的重任,以他们的地位,很容易领许多百姓走入歧途。如果神指派你去领导、教导人,你一定要先与祂亲近,遵从祂的吩咐。 

  利 10:2> 刑罚每每使我们警觉自己的处境…… 

  10:2 亚伦的这两个儿子,对于遵奉神的献祭条例太过随便,神就以火来烧灭,以示惩戒。献祭本来是顺服神的行为,做得一丝不苟表示对神的尊敬。我们对顺服神这件事,很容易随随便便地照自己的方式,不依照神的方式来行。人若以为不管什么方式都是一样的话,神就不必吩咐我们遵照祂的法则了。祂的吩咐总是饶有深意的,我们不管是有意或是无意地怠慢、不顺服祂,都会陷入危险的境地。 

  利 10:8-11> 这条诫命对今日担当重任的人,有什么鉴戒? 

  10:8-11 祭司进入会幕事奉以前,不可喝清酒浓酒。如果喝醉了酒,头脑不清醒,就会犯拿答与亚比户所犯的罪,使百姓的敬拜蒙污;此外,喝醉酒也没资格再去教导别人。要遵守神的命令,人就须有节制。异教有醉酒的习俗,以色列人的祭司却应当迥然有别。 

  利 10:10-11> 我们如何在生活中分别圣与俗? 

  10:10-11 这两节及 19 章 1 至 2 节经文是利未记的中心。十诫是神的基本律法(参出 20:1-17 )。利未记则作详尽的解释,增补了其他许多细则,帮助百姓在生活中应用。神颁赐律法的目的,是要叫他们明辨是非、分出圣俗。遵照神的律法来生活,百姓便能自然而然地分别为圣,将自己献上事奉祂。 

  利 10:16-20> 摩西为何向亚伦的儿子发怒? 

  10:16-20 为百姓献赎罪祭的祭司,照例该吃部分祭牲的肉,其余的烧在祭坛上( 6:24-30 )。亚伦剩下的两个儿子以利亚撒与以他玛,将赎罪祭牲整个烧了,没吃那祭牲的肉,摩西就向他们发怒。亚伦解释说,两个儿子因为兄长误献凡火刚刚被烧死,所以他们不能不谨慎,摩西这才明白二人并非不顺服神的命令,只是心中畏惧,又因所临到他们哥哥身上的灾祸,令他们十分难过的缘故。──《灵修版圣经注释》
