注解：

Leviticus 19:2 I the LORD your God am holy.
利未记 19:2 我是耶和华你们的神，是圣洁的。
This basic statement, which gives the reason for holy living among God’s people, is the central theme in Leviticus (see 20:26). See 1 Peter 1:16. Israel had been called to be a holy nation, and the perfectly holy character of God (see Is. 6:3) was the model after which the Israelites were to live (see 10:3; 20:26; 21:6–8).
这一基本陈述是利未记的核心主题（见20:26），它为神子民过圣洁生活提供了理由。参见彼得前书1:16。以色列被呼召成为圣洁的国度，神完全圣洁的品格（见赛6:3）是以色列人生活的榜样（见10:3；20:26；21:6–8）。

Leviticus 19:26 divination…soothsaying.
利未记 19:26 占卜…观兆。
Attempting to tell the future with the help of snakes and clouds was a common ancient way of foretelling good or bad future. These were forbidden forms of witchcraft which involved demonic activity.
借助蛇和云彩预测未来是古代常见的占卜方式，用以预知吉凶。这些是涉及邪灵活动的巫术，是被禁止的。

Psalm 27:8, 9 “Seek My face,”…“Your face,”…Your face.
诗篇 27:8, 9 “寻求我的面”…“你的面”…你的面。
God’s “face” indicates His personal presence or simply His being (Pss. 24:6; 105:4); and seeking His face is a primary characteristic of true believers who desire fellowship with God (see Deut. 4:29; 2 Chr. 11:16; 20:4; Ps. 40:16; Jer. 50:4; Hos. 3:5; Zech. 8:22).
神的“面”表明祂的同在或祂的本质（诗24:6；105:4）；寻求祂的面是真正信徒渴望与神相交的主要特征（见申4:29；代下11:16；20:4；诗40:16；耶50:4；何3:5；亚8:22）。

Mark 5:5 crying out and cutting himself with stones.
马可福音 5:5 喊叫并用石头砍自己。
“Crying out” describes a continual unearthly scream uttered with intense emotion. The “stones” likely were rocks made of flint with sharp, jagged edges.
“喊叫”描述一种持续不断的、带有强烈情感的怪异尖叫。“石头”可能是燧石制成的，带有尖锐的锯齿状边缘。

Mark 5:9 “What is your name?”
马可福音 5:9 “你名叫什么？”
Most likely, Jesus asked this in view of the demon’s appeal not to be tormented. However, He did not need to know the demon’s name in order to expel him. Rather, Jesus posed the question to bring the reality and complexity of this case into the open. Legion. A Latin term, by then common to Jews and Greeks, that defined a Roman military unit of 6,000 infantrymen. Such a name denotes that the man was controlled by an extremely large number of militant evil spirits, a truth reiterated by the expression “for we are many.”
耶稣问这个问题，很可能是因为鬼求祂不要折磨它。然而，耶稣并不需要知道鬼的名字才能赶出它。相反，耶稣提出这个问题是为了揭示此事的真实性和复杂性。群。这是一个拉丁词，当时在犹太人和希腊人中通用，指罗马军队的一个单位，约有6000名步兵。这个名字表明此人被极多好战的邪灵控制，这一点通过“因为我们数目众多”这一表达再次得到强调。

DAY 25: What does the term “type of Christ” mean when used to describe someone in the Old Testament?
第二十五天：当用“基督的预表”来描述旧约中的某个人时，这是什么意思？

Certain persons and practices recorded in the Old Testament serve as hints, clues, and preillustrations of what Jesus Christ would accomplish by His life, death, and resurrection. In most cases, the similarities or parallels are pointed out in the New Testament. The following people are some of those mentioned as representing, in a narrow way, what Christ accomplished perfectly: (1) Adam (Rom.5:14; 1 Cor. 15:45); (2) Abel (Gen. 4:8,10; Heb. 12:24); (3) Aaron (Ex. 28:1; Heb. 5:4, 5; 9:7, 24); (4) David (2 Sam. 8:15; Phil. 2:9); (5) Jonah (Jon. 1:17;Matt. 12:40); (6) Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18–20;Heb. 7:1–17); (7) Moses (Num. 12:7; Heb. 3:2); (8) Noah (Gen. 5:29; 2 Cor. 1:5); (9) Samson (Judg. 16:30; Col. 2:14–15); (10) Solomon (2 Sam. 7:12, 13; 1 Pet. 2:5).
旧约中记载的某些人物和事件，作为提示、线索和预表，预示了耶稣基督将通过祂的生、死和复活所成就的事。在大多数情况下，新约指出了这些相似或平行之处。以下人物在某种程度上代表了基督完美成就的事：(1) 亚当（罗5:14；林前15:45）；(2) 亚伯（创4:8,10；来12:24）；(3) 亚伦（出28:1；来5:4,5；9:7,24）；(4) 大卫（撒下8:15；腓2:9）；(5) 约拿（拿1:17；太12:40）；(6) 麦基洗德（创14:18–20；来7:1–17）；(7) 摩西（民12:7；来3:2）；(8) 挪亚（创5:29；林后1:5）；(9) 参孙（士16:30；西2:14–15）；(10) 所罗门（撒下7:12,13；彼前2:5）。

The following events and practices also prefigure Christ: (1) Ark (Gen. 7:16; 1 Pet. 3:20, 21); (2) Atonement sacrifices (Lev. 16:15, 16; Heb. 9:12, 24); (3) Bronze serpent (Num. 21:9; John 3:14, 15); (4) Mercy seat (Ex. 25:17–22; Rom. 3:25; Heb. 4:16); (5) Passover lamb (Ex. 12:3–6, 46; John 19:36; 1 Cor. 5:7); (6) Red heifer (Lev. 3:1; Eph. 2:14, 16); (7) Rock of Horeb (Ex.17:6; 1 Cor.10:4); (8) Scapegoat (Lev.16:20–22); (9) Tabernacle (Ex. 40:2; Heb. 9:11; Col. 2:9); (10) Veil of the tabernacle (Ex. 40:21; Heb. 10:20).
以下事件和习俗也预表了基督：(1) 方舟（创7:16；彼前3:20,21）；(2) 赎罪祭（利16:15,16；来9:12,24）；(3) 铜蛇（民21:9；约3:14,15）；(4) 施恩座（出25:17–22；罗3:25；来4:16）；(5) 逾越节的羔羊（出12:3–6,46；约19:36；林前5:7）；(6) 红母牛（利3:1；弗2:14,16）；(7) 何烈山的磐石（出17:6；林前10:4）；(8) 替罪羊（利16:20–22）；(9) 会幕（出40:2；来9:11；西2:9）；(10) 会幕的幔子（出40:21；来10:20）。
