14:17 | 亞伯蘭殺敗基大老瑪和與他同盟的王回來的時候,所多瑪王出來,在沙微谷迎接他;沙微谷就是王谷。 |
14:18 | 又有撒冷王麥基洗德帶著餅和酒出來迎接;他是至高 神的祭司。 |
14:19 | 他為亞伯蘭祝福說:“願天地的主、至高的 神賜福與亞伯蘭! |
14:20 | 至高的 神把敵人交在你手裡,是應當稱頌的。”亞伯蘭就把所得的拿出十分之一來,給麥基洗德。 |
14:21 | 所多瑪王對亞伯蘭說:“你把人口給我,財物你自己拿去吧!” |
14:22 | 亞伯蘭對所多瑪王說:“我已經向天地的主至高的 神耶和華起誓, |
14:23 | 凡是你的東西,就是一根線、一根鞋帶,我都不拿,免得你說:‘我使亞伯蘭富足。’ |
14:24 | 只有僕人所吃的,並與我同行的亞乃、以實各、幔利所應得的分,可以任憑他們拿去。” |
麥基洗德是誰?
14:18 他顯然是一位敬畏神的人,因為他的名字是“仁義之王”的意思,撒冷王則是“和平之君”的意思。他是“至高神的祭司”(來7:1-2)。他認識神是創造天地的主宰。一般對他的看法有:(1)他是在該地區受人尊敬的王,亞伯蘭只是向他表達他當受的敬意。(2)麥基洗德可能是所有作撒冷王人的稱號。(3)他是基督的預表(參來7:3)。預表是在舊約中與基督有緊密關聯的事件或教導,用來闡明關於基督的真理。
當勝利時,亞伯蘭仍警醒地注目在神的身上,我又會注目在何處?
14:20-24 亞伯蘭將戰利品的十分之一送給麥基洗德。當時即使一些異教徒,也將收入的十分之一獻給所拜的假神。亞伯蘭依照當時的習俗而行,然而他拒絕接受所多瑪王的禮物。雖然那大量的財物能大大增加他對神的奉獻,但是他不想讓不敬虔的所多瑪王說,他使亞伯蘭發了大財。亞伯蘭要讓他明白,是神使自己富足。如果亞伯蘭在這個時候接受所多瑪王的禮物,就會把別人的注意力集中在自己或所多瑪王身上,而不是神身上。別人注意我們時,要讓他們看到神在我們身上所成就的事。

Genesis
14:17 | And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. | |
14:18 | And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. | |
14:19 | And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: | |
14:20 | And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. | |
14:21 | And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. | |
14:22 | And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, | |
14:23 | That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: | |
14:24 | Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion. |
14:18 He was obviously a fear of God, because his name is "benevolent king", I mean, and threw cold Wang is "peace-jun". He is the "high priest of God" (to 7:1-2). He recognized God is the Creator of Heaven and earth dominate. General on his views are: (1) He is respected in the region Wang, Ebailan only to the subject when he expressed his respect. (2) McKay washing Germany may withdraw all for the title of cold Wang. (3) He is the pre-table Christ (cf. to 7:3). Pre-table in the Old Testament and Christianity are closely linked to events or teachings, and to clarify the truth about Christ.
When the victory, Ebailan still awakens in the eyes of God, and I will be where attention?
14:20-24 Ebailan one-tenth of the spoils of war will be presented McGill washing Germany. At that time, even if some pagans, but also one-tenth of the revenue dedicated to the false gods of Baidoa. Ebailan in accordance with the prevailing custom trip, but he refused to accept the multi-瑪gift. Although a large number of property can greatly increase his devotion to God, but he did not want to let the humble by not more than瑪Wang said, he has made a big profit Ebailan. Ebailan want to make him understand that their wealth is God. If Ebailan at this time more than瑪Wang accepted the gift, the others will focus attention on their own or on the more瑪Wang, rather than on God. Others pay attention to us, to let them see God in our achievements on the matter.
