注解：

Exodus 32:4 a molded calf. The young bull, which Aaron caused to be fashioned, was a pagan religious symbol of virile power. A miniature form of the golden calf, although made of bronze and silver, was found at the site of the ancient Philistine city of Ashkelon. Since it dates to about 1550 B.C. it indicates that calf worship was known not only in Egypt, but also in Canaan prior to the time of Moses. In worshiping the calf, the Israelites violated the first 3 commandments (20:3–7).

出埃及记 32:4 铸成了一只牛犊。 亚伦所造的这只小牛是异教中象征生命力的宗教符号。在古非利士城亚实基伦的遗址中发现了一个金牛犊的微型模型，虽是用铜和银制成。由于它可追溯到约公元前1550年，这表明牛犊崇拜不仅在埃及为人所知，在摩西时代之前的迦南地也有。以色列人敬拜牛犊，违背了头三条诫命（20:3-7）。

Exodus 32:6 rose up to play. The Hebrew word allows for the inclusion of drunken and immoral activities so common to idolatrous fertility cults in their revelry. Syncretism had robbed the people of all ethical alertness and moral discernment (see 1 Cor. 10:7).

出埃及记 32:6 起来玩耍。 希伯来原文这个词包含了醉酒和不道德的行为，这些在拜偶像的丰产崇拜中的狂欢是很常见的。宗教混合主义使百姓丧失了所有的道德警觉和伦理判断力（参见林前 10:7）。

Exodus 32:32 blot me out of Your book. Nothing more strongly marked the love of Moses for his people than his sincere willingness to offer up his own life rather than see them disinherited and destroyed. The book to which Moses referred, the psalmist entitled "the book of the living" (Ps. 69:28). Untimely or premature death would constitute being blotted out of the book. The apostle Paul displayed a similar passionate devotion for his kinsmen (Rom. 9:1–3).

出埃及记 32:32 从你所写的册上涂抹我的名。 没有什么比摩西愿意献上自己的生命来代替看见百姓被剪除和毁灭更能显明他对百姓的爱。摩西所提到的这册，诗人称之为"生命册"（诗 69:28）。非正常或过早的死亡就等于从这册上被涂抹。使徒保罗也表现出对他同胞类似的热切奉献（罗 9:1-3）。

Psalm 21:3 You set a crown of pure gold upon his head. This is symbolic of superlative blessing (note the reversal in Ezek. 21:25–27).

诗篇 21:3 你把精金的冠冕戴在他头上。 这象征着至高的福分（注意在结 21:25-27中的反转）。

[!bible]+ Ezekiel 21:25-27 - CUNPS 1. 你这受死伤行恶的以色列王啊，罪孽的尽头到了，受报的日子已到。 2. 主耶和华如此说：当除掉冠，摘下冕，景况必不再像先前；要使卑者升为高，使高者降为卑。 3. 我要将这国倾覆，倾覆，而又倾覆；这国也必不再有，直等到那应得的人来到，我就赐给他。”

DAY 10: Did Jesus Christ believe in everlasting punishment for the wicked?
第十天：耶稣基督是否相信恶人要受永远的刑罚？

Look at His words in Matthew 25:46. "And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." The same Greek word is used in both instances. The punishment of the wicked is as never-ending as the bliss of the righteous. The wicked are not given a second chance, nor are they annihilated. The punishment of the wicked dead is described throughout Scripture as "everlasting fire" (v. 41); "unquenchable fire" (3:12); "shame and everlasting contempt" (Dan. 12:2); a place where "their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched"(Mark 9:44–49); a place of "torments" and "flame" (Luke 16:23, 24); "everlasting destruction" (2 Thess. 1:9); a place of torment with "fire and brimstone" where "the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever" (Rev. 14:10, 11); and a "lake of fire and brimstone "where the wicked are "tormented day and night forever and ever" (Rev. 20:10).

看祂在马太福音25:46中的话："这些人要往永刑里去，那些义人要往永生里去。"这两处用的是同一个希腊词。恶人的刑罚与义人的福乐一样永无止境。恶人既不会得到第二次机会，也不会被消灭。圣经用多种方式描述死去之恶人的刑罚：是"永火"（第41节）；是"不灭的火"（3:12）；是"羞辱，永远被憎恶"（但 12:2）；是"虫是不死的，火是不灭的"地方（可 9:44-49）；是"痛苦"和"火焰"之处（路 16:23,24）；是"永远沉沦"（帖后 1:9）；是有"火与硫磺"的痛苦之处，"他受痛苦的烟往上冒，直到永永远远"（启 14:10,11）；是"火湖与硫磺"，恶人要"昼夜受痛苦，直到永永远远"（启 20:10）。

Here Jesus indicates that the punishment itself is everlasting—not merely the smoke and flames. The wicked are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. They consciously suffer shame and contempt and the assaults of an accusing conscience—along with the fiery wrath of an offended deity—for all of eternity. Even hell will acknowledge the perfect justice of God (Ps.76:10); those who are there will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (see Deut. 32:3–5).

在这里耶稣指出，刑罚本身是永远的——不仅仅是烟和火焰。恶人将永远承受神的烈怒和愤怒。他们要清醒地承受羞辱和藐视，以及良心的谴责——连同被触怒之神的烈怒——直到永远。即使在地狱中也要承认神完全的公义（诗 76:10）；在那里的人都知道他们的刑罚是公义的，他们要为此负完全的责任（参见申 32:3-5）。
