安息日与献祭 The Sabbath Day and offerings

民数记 28: 1－10 Numbers 28:1-10

耶和华晓谕摩西说：「你要吩咐以色列人说：『献给我的供物，就是献给我作馨香火祭的食物，你们要按日期献给我』；又要对他们说：你们要献给耶和华的火祭，就是没有残疾、一岁的公羊羔，每日两只，作为常献的燔祭。早晨要献一只，黄昏的時候要献一只；又用细麵伊法十分之一，并捣成的油一欣四分之一，调和作为素祭。 这是西奈山所命定为常献的燔祭，是献给耶和华为馨香的火祭。为这一只羊羔，要同献奠祭的酒一欣四分之一。在圣所中，你要将醇酒奉给耶和华为奠祭。晚上，你要献那一只羊羔，必照早晨的素祭和同献的奠祭献上，作为馨香的火祭，献给耶和华。当安息日，要献两只没有残疾、一岁的公羊羔，并用调油的细麵伊法十分之二为素祭，又将同献的奠祭献上。这是每安息日献的燔祭；那常献的燔祭和同献的奠祭在外。

The Lord said to Moses, “Give these instructions to the people of Israel: The offerings you present as special gifts are a pleasing aroma to me; they are my food. See to it that they are brought at the appointed times and offered according to my instructions. “Say to the people: This is the special gift you must present to the Lord as your daily burnt offering. You must offer two one-year-old male lambs with no defects. Sacrifice one lamb in the morning and the other in the evening. With each lamb you must offer a grain offering of two quarts of choice flour mixed with one quart of pure oil of pressed olives. This is the regular burnt offering instituted at Mount Sinai as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. Along with it you must present the proper liquid offering of one quart of alcoholic drink with each lamb, poured out in the Holy Place as an offering to the Lord. Offer the second lamb in the evening with the same grain offering and liquid offering. It, too, is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. “On the Sabbath day, sacrifice two one-year-old male lambs with no defects. They must be accompanied by a grain offering of four quarts of choice flour moistened with olive oil, and a liquid offering. This is the burnt offering to be presented each Sabbath day, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its accompanying liquid offering.

在旧约里，耶和华特地命令以色列人要在安息日带着祭物来祭拜他。在新约里，当基督徒在主日来到神面前敬拜他时，虽然神没有要求信徒带任何祭物，可是保罗吩咐信徒们要“出来留著，”所收到的钱使用于救济贫穷人。（林前16：2）

In the Old Testament, the Lord commanded that the Israelites present themselves before him on the Sabbath Day with the offerings of animal, grain and oil offerings. In the New Testament, although there is no obligation for believers to bring anything to God when they present themselves before him on the Lord’s Day. Nevertheless, the Apostle Paul hinted that Christians should make a “collection” so that they may be used towards providing for the needy. (1 Corinthians 16:2)
