古時的應許
願耶和華賜福給你,保護你。-民數記6章24節
在1979年,加百列·巴克博士(Dr. Gabriel Barkay)與他的團隊在耶路撒冷舊城外的古墓裡發現兩片銀製卷軸。經過25年的細心研究,學者們在2004年確認,這是有史以來發掘到最古老的聖經卷軸,估計是埋藏於主前600年。令我格外感動的是,其中記載了上帝透過祭司要賜福給以色列人的話語:「願耶和華賜福給你,保護你。願耶和華使祂的臉光照你。」(民數記6章24-25節)
上帝藉著摩西賜下祝福的話,讓亞倫和他兒子曉得如何代表上帝為以色列人祝福。領袖們需要牢記這些話,才能按上帝的心意對百姓宣講。在民數記6章24-26節這段祝福的禱文中,「耶和華」出現三次,強調上帝是賜福的那一位;「你」出現六次,反映出上帝何等渴望,祂的百姓能得著祂的慈愛與恩惠。
我們不妨省思一下,這個古老的聖經卷軸清楚地告訴我們,上帝樂意賜福施恩,更提醒我們祂的慈愛永無止盡,以及祂多麼渴盼與我們建立關係。如果你覺得今日遠離了上帝,就更應牢記這段古老經文的應許。願耶和華賜福給你,願耶和華保護你!
親愛的天父上帝,感謝祢賜給我滿滿的祝福。
求祢幫助我仔細留意,祢在哪方面賜給我喜樂與平安,
好讓我更懂得讚美祢。
上帝期望賜福給你,對你有何意義?
你要如何與人分享祂的愛呢?

詩篇67篇與亞倫支派祭司在民數記第6章的祝福遙相呼應。詩人一開始就祈求上帝的恩惠:「願上帝憐憫我們,賜福與我們,用臉光照我們。」這首詩三次使用的「賜福」一詞(1、6、7節),與民數記第6章所用的「賜福」一樣,都是譯自希伯來字barak,也可譯為「祝福」。根據《舊約神學辭典》的解釋,在舊約中,「祝福」意味著「賦予能力以獲得成功、繁榮、生育力和長壽」。
為什麼會有詩篇67篇1節的祈求呢?這不僅是祈求賜福於以色列國,更是祈求藉著他們能讓萬國認識上帝。正如詩人禱告,說:「好叫世界得知祢的道路,萬國得知祢的救恩。」(2節)

Ancient Promises
The Lord bless you and keep you. Numbers 6:24
In 1979, Dr. Gabriel Barkay and his team discovered two silver scrolls in a burial ground outside the Old City of Jerusalem. In 2004, after twenty-five years of careful research, scholars confirmed that the scrolls were the oldest biblical text in existence, having been buried in 600 bc. What I find particularly moving is what the scrolls contain—the priestly blessing that God wanted spoken over His people: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you” (Numbers 6:24–25).
In giving this benediction, God showed Aaron and his sons (through Moses) how to bless the people on His behalf. The leaders were to memorize the words in the form God gave so they would speak to them just as God desired. Note how these words emphasize that God is the one who blesses, for three times they say, “the Lord.” And six times He says, “you,” reflecting just how much God wants His people to receive His love and favor.
Ponder for a moment that the oldest existing fragments of the Bible tell of God’s desire to bless. What a reminder of God’s boundless love and how He wants to be in a relationship with us. If you feel far from God today, hold tightly to the promise in these ancient words. May the Lord bless you; may the Lord keep you.

Reflect & Pray
What does it mean to you that God desires to bless you? How can you share His love with others?
Father God, I give thanks for the many blessings You give to me. Help me to notice the ways You bring me joy and peace, that I might praise You.
