出埃及记——第四十章

约拿

出埃及记第四十章： 40:1 耶和华晓谕摩西说： 40:2 “正月初一日，你要立起帐幕， 40:3 把法柜安放在里面，用幔子将柜遮掩。　 40:4 把桌子搬进去，摆设上面的物。把灯台搬进去，点其上的灯。　 40:5 把烧香的金坛安在法柜前，挂上帐幕的门廉。 40:6 把燔祭坛安在帐幕门前。 40:7 把洗濯盆安在会幕和坛的中间，在盆里盛水。 40:8 又在四围立院帷，把院子的门廉挂上。 40:9 用膏油把帐幕和其中所有的都抹上，使帐幕和一切器具成圣，就都成圣； 40:10 又要抹燔祭坛和一切器具使坛成圣，就都成为至圣； 40:11 要抹洗濯盆和盆座，使盆成圣。 40:12 要使亚伦和他儿子到会幕门口来，用水洗身。 40:13 要给亚伦穿上圣衣，又膏他，使他成圣，可以给我供祭司的职分； 40:14 又要使他儿子来，给他们穿上内袍。 40:15 怎样膏他们的父亲，也要照样膏他们，使他们给我供祭司的职分。他们世世代代凡受膏的，就永远当祭司的职任。” 40:16 摩西这样行，都是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:17 第二年正月初一日，帐幕就立起来。 40:18 摩西立起帐幕，安上带卯的座，立上板，穿上闩，立起柱子； 40:19 在帐幕以上搭罩棚，把罩棚的顶盖，盖在其上，是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:20 又把法版放在柜里，把杠穿在柜的两旁，把施恩座安在柜上。 40:21 把柜抬进帐幕，挂上遮掩柜的幔子，把法柜遮掩了，是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:22 又把桌子安在会幕内，在帐幕北边，在幔子外。 40:23 在桌子上将饼陈设在耶和华面前，是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:24 又把灯台安在会幕内，在帐幕南边，与桌子相对， 40:25 在耶和华面前点灯，是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:26 把金坛安在会幕内的幔子前， 40:27 在坛上烧了馨香料做的香，是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:28 又挂上帐幕的门廉。 40:29 在会幕的帐幕门前，安设燔祭坛，把燔祭和素祭献在其上，是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:30 把洗濯盆安在会幕和坛的中间，盆中盛水，以便洗濯。 40:31 摩西和亚伦并亚伦的儿子，在这盆里洗手洗脚。 40:32 他们进会幕或就近坛的时候，便都洗濯，是照耶和华所吩咐他的。 40:33 在帐幕和坛的四围，立了院帷，把院子的门廉挂上。这样，摩西就完了工。 40:34 当时，云彩遮盖会幕，耶和华的荣光就充满了帐幕。 40:35 摩西不能进会幕，因为云彩停在其上，并且耶和华的荣光充满了帐幕。 40:36 每逢云彩从帐幕收上去，以色列人就起程前往； 40:37 云彩若不收上去，他们就不起程，直等到云彩收上去。 40:38 日间，耶和华的云彩是在帐幕以上；夜间，云中有火，在以色列全家的眼前，在他们所行的路上都是这样。

八．建立会幕（四Ｏ）

　　四Ｏ1～8 神吩咐在一年的第一天立起帐幕（l～2节）；就是出埃及后大概一年，以色列人到达西乃山后八个半月。他又教导以色列人把每件物件该放在什么地方。值得注意的是，摩西造会幕，是十足地照神所描述的式样来做，而不是八九成相似就够了。我们应当效法摩西的榜样，做到毫厘不差地顺服神。一旦神吩咐你去做事，你就要做到尽善尽美。

　　四Ｏ9～17 第9至15节再次提出把帐幕、其中的物件，还有大祭司和他儿子抹上膏油。这些工作在正月初一开始，即以色列人离开埃及后约一年（16～17节）。

　　四Ｏ18～33 摩西立起帐幕。经文告诉我们，这位伟大的律法颁布者仔细按着耶和华所吩咐他的，每一项建筑、每一件物件都遵从进行。最后，摩西在帐幕和坛的四围，立了院帷。把院子的门帘挂上。然后是一句最关键的说话结束这重要的工程：“这样摩西就完了工。”人所能作上帝的工至此为止。摩西完了工，但有一位比他更大的，实际上只有他呼出最后一口气时，才能真真实实地说：“成了！”（约十九30）

　　四Ｏ34～38 会幕是神在地上的居所，神以他的荣耀充满这会幕──那是他亲自莅临的威仪。云彩降临，遮盖会幕，所以摩西不能进会幕。这云彩途中一直与百姓同在。云彩前进，他们才前进；云彩停下来，他们也停下来（34～38节）。

　　不是亚伦和他的众子，而是摩西自己竖立那完成了的会幕，并且检查一切都依照他记忆中的异象去完成，因而感到满意。他也是第一个献上燔祭的人（四十29）。身为利未支派的人，摩西显然符合条件履行祭司的职分，直到亚伦和他儿子受膏立担当这职分（利八章）。

　　出埃及记是神百姓出埃及至西乃山立起会幕期间的历史。这卷书充满基督美丽的图画，预表他完美的品格。我们有责任前来敬拜荣耀的基督，在他圣洁的光中过活。

Exodus 40 The Tabernacle Erected 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2"(A)On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 3"(B)You shall place the ark of the testimony there, and you shall screen the ark with the veil. 4"You shall (C)bring in the table and (D)arrange what belongs on it; and you shall (E)bring in the lampstand and mount its lamps. 5"Moreover, you shall (F)set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the veil for the doorway to the tabernacle. 6"You shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 7"You shall (G)set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it. 8"You shall set up the court all around and hang up the veil for the gateway of the court. 9"Then you shall take the anointing oil and (H)anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall consecrate it and all its furnishings; and it shall be holy. 10"You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and (I)the altar shall be most holy. 11"You shall anoint the laver and its stand, and consecrate it. 12"Then you shall (J)bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the tent of meeting and wash them with water. 13"(K)You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me. 14"You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them; 15and you shall anoint them even as you have anointed their father, that they may minister as priests to Me; and their anointing will qualify them for a (L)perpetual priesthood throughout their generations." 16Thus Moses did; according to all that the LORD had commanded him, so he did. 17Now (M)in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected. 18Moses erected the tabernacle and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and inserted its bars and erected its pillars. 19He spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 20Then he took (N)the testimony and put it into the ark, and attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark. 21He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and (O)set up a veil for the screen, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 22Then he (P)put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil. 23He set the arrangement of (Q)bread in order on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 24Then he placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle. 25He (R)lighted the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 26Then he (S)placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the veil; 27and he (T)burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 28Then he set up the veil for the doorway of the tabernacle. 29He (U)set the altar of burnt offering before the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and (V)offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 30He placed the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing. 31(W)From it Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet. 32When they entered the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 33He (X)erected the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the veil for the gateway of the court. Thus Moses finished the work. The Glory of the LORD 34(Y)Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the (Z)glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35Moses (AA)was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 36Throughout all their journeys (AB)whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; 37but (AC)if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. 38For throughout all their journeys, (AD)the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
