代表神同在的陳設餅


利未記 24:5-9
「『要把餅擺列兩行,每行六個,在耶和華面前精金的桌子上。』」 - 申 24:6

人們穿戴結婚戒指,是要表明他們與另一個人締結了獨特的關係。戒指時常提醒他們彼此作出的承諾,戒指影響著這二人現今和將來的行為和身份。

從某個角度來看,放置在會幕中央的餅也有相似之處,它也是肉眼看得見的象徵:它象徵百姓委身於獨一的真神。儘管利未記的內容常常不容易明白,我們卻要明白這卷書的重點,是關於神施恩為衪所愛的,但並不完全的子民,提供一個途徑,讓他們活在衪面前,就像衪活在他們中間。神在曠野從天上降下嗎哪、作為供應衪子民的糧食,此後不久(出埃及記 16章),神便在利未記頒賜如何過聖潔生活的指南。如此,百姓便能夠合宜地表達他們對神的感恩、敬畏、和敬拜了。他們要拿十二個剛烘好的餅,把它們排列在會幕中神面前精金的陳設桌上,作為「陳設餅」(出埃及記 25:30) - 一個肉眼可見的象徵,來表明神與衪的子民同在。這餅提醒他們神與衪的子民立約,衪曾拯救他們、叫他們得自由、呼召他們向神和向鄰舍活出與眾不同的愛心。

禱告

主神啊,惟願我們記念你的慈愛和憐憫,就像你的子民在敬拜的會所看見「陳設餅」時、便記得你奇妙的,賦予生命的同在和供應。阿們。


利未記 24:5-9


5「你要取細麵,烤成十二個餅,每餅用麵伊法十分之二。
6要把餅擺列兩行,每行六個,在耶和華面前精金的桌子上。
7又要把淨乳香放在每行餅上,作為紀念,就是作為火祭獻給耶和華。
8每安息日要常擺在耶和華面前,這為以色列人做永遠的約。
9這餅是要給亞倫和他子孫的,他們要在聖處吃,為永遠的定例,因為在獻給耶和華的火祭中是至聖的。」

代表神同在的陈设饼


利未记 24:5-9
“‘要把饼摆列两行,每行六个,在耶和华面前精金的桌子上。’” - 申 24:6

人们穿戴结婚戒指,是要表明他们与另一个人缔结了独特的关系。戒指时常提醒他们彼此作出的承诺,戒指影响着这二人现今和将来的行为和身份。

从某个角度来看,放置在会幕中央的饼也有相似之处,它也是肉眼看得见的象征:它象征百姓委身于独一的真神。尽管利未记的内容常常不容易明白,我们却要明白这卷书的重点,是关于神施恩为衪所爱的,但并不完全的子民,提供一个途径,让他们活在衪面前,就像衪活在他们中间。神在旷野从天上降下吗哪、作为供应衪子民的粮食,此后不久(出埃及记 16章),神便在利未记颁赐如何过圣洁生活的指南。如此,百姓便能够合宜地表达他们对神的感恩、敬畏、和敬拜了。他们要拿十二个刚烘好的饼,把它们排列在会幕中神面前精金的陈设桌上,作为“陈设饼”(出埃及记 25:30) - 一个肉眼可见的象征,来表明神与衪的子民同在。这饼提醒他们神与衪的子民立约,衪曾拯救他们、叫他们得自由、呼召他们向神和向邻舍活出与众不同的爱心。

祷告

主神啊,惟愿我们记念你的慈爱和怜悯,就像你的子民在敬拜的会所看见“陈设饼”时、便记得你奇妙的,赋予生命的同在和供应。阿们。

7又要把净乳香放在每行饼上,作为纪念,就是作为火祭献给耶和华。
8每安息日要常摆在耶和华面前,这为以色列人做永远的约。

The Bread Of The Presence Of God


Leviticus 24:5-9
"Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the LORD." - Leviticus 24:6

When someone wears a wedding ring, it shows that they have a distinctive relationship with another person. The ring is a constant reminder of a promise made, and it affects the behavior and identity of both persons in the present and in the future.

In some ways, the visible symbol of bread at the center of the tabernacle was like that: it was a symbol of the people's life committed to the one true God. Though the book of Leviticus is not always easy to understand, it helps to know that the overall point of Leviticus is about God graciously providing a way for his beloved but flawed people to live in his presence, just as he lived in theirs. Not long after God sent manna, bread from heaven, to his people in the wilderness (Exodus 16), God gave them these Levitical guidelines for holy living. In these ways the people could demonstrate their gratitude, awe, and worship of God. Twelve fresh loaves of bread were to be on display on a gold table in the holy tent of meeting as the "bread of the Presence" (Exodus 25:30)—a visible symbol that God was present with his people. The bread was a covenant reminder that God had rescued his people, set them free, and called them to live distinct lives of love for God and for their neighbors.

Prayer

Lord and God, just as your people were reminded of your awesome, life-giving presence when they looked at the "bread of the Presence" in the place of worship, so may we remember your love and mercy. Amen.
