Five Daughters of Zelophehad
W1 2010-08-30 (民35:29-36:13)
經文: 民數記 36:5 摩西照耶和華的話吩咐以色列人說：約瑟支派的人說得有理。
默想：耶和華似乎願意傾聽以色列人所提出有關祖產繼承由於沒有子嗣所衍生出來的問題，並且作出相關的回應。以色列人對於上帝所賞賜給各族的產業似乎非常重視與珍惜，不願意讓這些產業落入別族的手裡。求主幫助我，對於上帝所賞賜的產業，我也能夠一樣珍惜保守。
題目:你對於西羅非哈五位女兒所引起的遺產事件有何看法呢？ (參閱民27:1-11)
大家平安
回覆刪除女兒也分得產業，是很"先進"的做法，只是為什麼一定要嫁給同支派的人？與他支派結婚時，產業必須留在原支派？
為什麼「以色列人要各守各祖宗支派的產業」這樣重要呢？不太明白。
會不會是像舊約中的其他律例一般，是為了保護以色列百性？大家遵守界限，避免搶奪、貪盜，保護弱勢（Ex.路得）。
Moses learned from the Lord: “If a man dies and leaves no son, turn his inheritance over to his daughter”(Nu 27:8). But as long as Zelophehad’s daughters married anyone within the tribal clan of their father, they could still possess the inheritance of their fathers.
回覆刪除When a wise leader is faced with an unusual case, he or she will be more flexible in tackling it. The leader will consider only the critical factor that determines how the matter should be treated.
Dear All, Peng An,
回覆刪除It is not easy to learn the timing about the obedience or negotiation for God's will. However, God still can listen our problems if we cannot understand HIM. For me, I still cannot have very close relationship with God. So, it becomes very hard to understand HIS promised land. What I only know is to thanks for HIM, HE already gave me so much. May God help me to understand you more and more from your words.

「民 36:4 到了以色列人的禧年、這女兒的產業就必加在他們丈夫支派的產業上．這樣、我們祖宗『支派』的產業、就減少了。」
回覆刪除上帝對於人的請求，是有回應的！尤其是此請求符合上帝的旨意時。「約一 5:14 我們若照他的旨意求甚麼、他就聽我們．這是我們向他所存坦然無懼的心。」
感謝天父的愛與永不放棄！
