创世记第十三章: 13:1 亚伯兰带著他的妻子与罗得,并一切所有的,都从埃及上南地去。 13:2 亚伯兰的金、银、牲畜极多。 13:3 他从南地渐渐往伯特利去,到了伯特利和艾的中间,就是从前支搭帐棚的地方, 13:4 也是他起先筑坛的地方,他又在那里求告耶和华的名。 13:5 与亚伯兰同行的罗得也有牛群、羊群、帐棚。 13:6 那地容不下他们,因为他们的财物甚多,使他们不能同居。 13:7 当时,迦南人与比利洗人在那地居住。亚伯兰的牧人和罗得的牧人相争。 13:8 亚伯兰就对罗得说:“你我不可相争,你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争,因为我们是骨肉(注:原文作“弟兄”)。 13:9 遍地不都在你眼前吗?请你离开我:你向左,我就向右;你向右,我就向左。” 13:10 罗得举目看见约旦河的全平原,直到琐珥,都是滋润的,那地在耶和华未灭所多玛、蛾摩拉以先,如同耶和华的园子,也像埃及地。 13:11 于是罗得选择约旦河的全平原,往东迁移;他们就彼此分离了。 13:12 亚伯兰住在迦南地,罗得住在平原的城邑,渐渐挪移帐棚,直到所多玛。 13:13 所多玛人在耶和华面前罪大恶极。 13:14 罗得离别亚伯兰以后,耶和华对亚伯兰说:“从你所在的地方,你举目向东西南北观看, 13:15 凡你所看见的一切地,我都要赐给你和你的后裔,直到永远。 13:16 我也要使你的后裔如同地上的尘沙那样多,人若能数算地上的尘沙,才能数算你的后裔。 13:17 你起来,纵横走遍这地,因为我必把这地赐给你。” 13:18 亚伯兰就搬了帐棚,来到希伯仑幔利的橡树那里居住,在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛。

  一三1~4 亚伯兰从埃及…往伯特利,表示他与神重修相交关系。信徒不怕失败跌倒,只怕跌倒了不肯站起来。“回到伯特利”是给所有偏离神的人的长远呼唤。

3.跟罗得与麦基洗德的经历(一三5~一四24)

  一三5~13 罗得和亚伯兰的牧人为牧养畜群之平原相争。罗得是被亚伯兰带领的人(1节),他理应认识他自己的本分,但他居然纵容手下的牧人与亚伯兰的牧人相争,从这一点就显出他的错来。

  亚伯兰凭着爱心,真切无私地给罗得全平原的选择。亚伯兰自从经历了第十二章的失败以后,他的灵命长进了不少,他不再为自己的生存有所选择。事实上,亚伯兰可以先选,这是他的特权,因为他的辈分较高。但他他存心谦卑,看别人比自己强(腓二3)。有信心的人总是让别人先作选择,因为他知道神为他选择的,总比人所选择的要好得多。

  罗得选择了约但河谷葱翠的平原,毗邻罪恶之城所多玛、峨摩拉。罗得虽是个真信徒(彼后二7,8),但是个世俗的边缘人。有人说:“他得着青草喂养牛群,亚伯兰却得着恩典给后人。”(15,16节)

  纵然所多玛人在耶和华面前罪大恶极,罗得并没有因而改变选择。信徒处在罪大恶极的生活环境中,若不小心,非但不能发挥“光和盐”(太五13~16)的功效,反有同流合污的危险。我们留意他走上属世之路的过程:他(他的牧人)与人相争(7节),他看见(10节),他作出选择(11节),他挪移帐棚(12节),他迁离神的祭司所处的地方(一四12);他坐在城门门口——拥有政权的地方(一九1),成为所多玛当地的官员。一如新约保罗所说的:“底马贪爱现今的世界,就离弃我往帖撒罗尼迦去了。”(提后四10)罗得明知所多玛是罪大恶极之地,却仍渐渐移近居住,终陷自己于受亏损的局面(创十四12;十九15~38)。

  一三14~18 亚伯兰放弃上佳的平原草场,神却把迦南的一切地都赐给他和他的后裔,直到永远。再者;耶和华应许他子孙无数。亚伯兰有两类的子孙:一类是属地的子孙,即肉身的儿女──犹太人,此处以“地上的尘沙”来形容他们;另一类是属天的子孙,即信心的儿女,圣经以“天上的众星”来形容他们(创十五5)

  亚伯兰在希伯伦(“希伯仑”在原文是“交通”的意思)安顿后,就第三次为耶和华筑坛——他只为神筑坛,从没有为自己筑搭楼房!

  注意,神指示亚伯兰纵横走遍那地,观看自己的产业。因此,我们也可以借着信心,支取神的应许。我们的信心有多大,便能取用神的应许有多大。

本章的听写材料是:

Genesis 13

Abram and Lot Separate

1 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him. 2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.

3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD .

5 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. 6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together. 7 And quarreling arose between Abram's herdsmen and the herdsmen of Lot. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.

8 So Abram said to Lot, "Let's not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and mine, for we are brothers. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Let's part company. If you go to the left, I'll go to the right; if you go to the right, I'll go to the left."

10 Lot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered, like the garden of the LORD , like the land of Egypt, toward Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD .

14 The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring [a] forever. 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."

18 So Abram moved his tents and went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD .
