（民28-29）食物与供物
（民28-29）食物与供物 （与ChatGPT对话，经Mijiale修改） Mijiale：在民数记28:2里造物主说，“ 你 要 吩 咐 以 色 列 人 说 ， 献 给 我 的 供 物 ， 就 是 献 给 我 作 馨 香 火 祭 的 食 物 ， 你 们 要 按 日 期 献 给 我 ”。难道造物主还需要吃食物吗？还需要人来喂祂吃饱吗？ ChatGPT：在圣经中，当上帝命令以色列人献供物时，这并不意味着上帝需要实际的物质食物。上帝是全能的创造者，不需要人类的物质供养。相反，这是一种象征性的行为，目的是让以色列人通过奉献物品来表达对上帝的崇敬、感恩和依靠。 对于上帝来说，这些祭物并不是为了满足祂的身体需求，而是一种与祂的子民建立联系和关系的方式。这些仪式行为帮助以色列人在精神和宗教层面上与上帝建立紧密的联系，并且在奉献中表达对上帝的敬拜和奉献。 —- Mijiale：的确，“供物”在希伯来文也叫“ 各耳板”（马可7：11），有靠近的意思，可以表示造物主渴望被造之人按日期接近祂，就像人渴望按日期吃食物那样。 ChatGPT: 在希伯来文中，”供物”（”קָרְבָּן”）一词确实有”接近”或”靠近”的含义。这个词语的词根是”קרב”，意为”接近”或”靠近”。因此，供物在某种程度上可以被理解为一种接近上帝的方式。 马可福音7:11中提到的”各耳板”（”κορβᾶν”）是希腊文对”供物”的翻译。它也传达了与上帝接近的含义。 … Continue reading （民28-29）食物与供物

（民31）论米甸妇婴
（民31）论米甸妇婴 （与ChatGPT对话，经mijiale修改） Mijiale: 以色列人战胜米甸人之后，摩西在民数记31:17 说“ 所 以 ， 你 们 要 把 一 切 的 男 孩 和 所 有 已 嫁 的 女 子 都 杀 了 。” 这些妇女和男童又没有战斗力，为什么要杀他们呢？ ChatGPT：这个命令需要在其历史和文化背景下理解。在当时的战争中，被征服的国家通常会将妇女和儿童俘虏作为战利品或奴隶。摩西的命令是为了防止这些妇女和男童成为以色列人生活中的潜在威胁和诱惑。此外，米甸人曾经以偶像崇拜和淫乱引诱以色列人，摩西的命令也是为了清除这些邪恶的影响。值得注意的是，摩西的命令并不代表上帝在所有情况下都会做出类似的判断，而是根据当时的情境和上帝对以色列人的特殊要求而定。 Mijiale: 那为什么又不需要杀女童呢？见民数记31:18 “但 女 孩 子 中 ， 凡 没 有 出 嫁 的 ， 你 们 都 可 以 存… Continue reading （民31）论米甸妇婴
