35:1 | 神對雅各說:“起來!上伯特利去,住在那裡,要在那裡築一座壇給 神,就是你逃避你哥哥以掃的時候向你顯現的那位。” |
35:2 | 雅各就對他家中的人,並一切與他同在的人說:“你們要除掉你們中間的外邦神,也要自潔,更換衣裳。 |
35:3 | 我們要起來,上伯特利去,在那裡我要築一座壇給 神,就是在我遭難的日子應允我的禱告、在我行的路上保佑我的那位。” |
35:4 | 他們就把外邦人的神像和他們的耳朵上的環子交給雅各,雅各都藏在示劍那裡的橡樹底下。 |
35:5 | 他們便起行前往。 神使那周圍城邑的人都甚驚懼,就不追趕雅各的眾子了。 |
35:6 | 於是,雅各和一切與他同在的人到了迦南地的路斯,就是伯特利。 |
35:7 | 他在那裡築了一座壇,就給那地方起名叫伊勒伯特利(註:就是“伯特利之 神”的意思),因為他逃避他哥哥的時候, 神在那裡向他顯現。 |
35:2 當時,人們有時也相信偶像可以帶來好運,而並不一定把偶像當作神。所以有些以色列人雖然敬拜神,仍然在家中安放偶像,正如現在有些基督徒佩戴一些幸運小飾物一樣。雅各認為在他家中不應當存有偶像,免得他的家人在屬靈的事上對神分心。
雅各吩咐家人把外族的神像徹底除掉,同樣,我們也要除掉生命中的偶像,不然我們的信心會被毀滅。我們有甚麼偶像呢?偶像不一定是觸摸得到的物件,它可能是某些思想或慾望。總之,任何取代神在我們心中的位置的東西,就是偶像,我們應當除掉它們。
耳環也要除下?難道這也是……
35:4 為甚麼大家把自己的耳環給雅各呢?耳環只是飾物,本身並不邪惡。但是在雅各的時代,人常常把佩戴耳環當作趨吉避邪的護身符。雅各的家人要除掉一切異教的影響,這些零碎的東西當然也包括在內。
