(申16)遮盖棚顶的材料

(申16)遮盖棚顶的材料 本周的摩西五经进度也不是按通常的顺序,因为是在住棚节期间,约有一周时间。周六2023/10/7日是第八日严肃会(利23:36),摩西五经阅读申命记14:22-16:17,其中有和住棚节有关的一段话:(申16:13)“你 把 禾 场 的 谷 , 酒 榨 的 酒 收 藏 以 后 , 就 要 守 住 棚 节 七 日 ”。犹太经典从此推导【Sukkah 11a, 12a https://www.sefaria.org/Sukkah.11a.11?lang=bi , https://www.sefaria.org/Sukkah.12a.2?lang=bi 】,说为过住棚节搭的棚子,棚顶必须用剪下的植物遮盖,才算合格。犹太经典比较难懂,我个人的理解是这样的,这句经文(申16:13)为什么要提到收藏谷子和酒?第一反应,当然是为了说明住棚节应该是在收获的季节(秋季),但前面利未记23:39已经提过,“你 们 收 藏 了 地 的 出 产 , 就 从 七 月 十 五 日 起 ,…”(按圣经历,是秋天的季节)过这个节日,这已经说明住棚节应该是在收获的季节了,所以,如果我们相信经文说话从不多余,那么申命记16:13这里看似的“重复”,应该是在教导新的东西。犹太人认为申命记16:13这里提到“禾 场 的 谷 , 酒… Continue reading (申16)遮盖棚顶的材料
