注解：

Deuteronomy 31:6–8 Be strong and of good courage. The strength and courage of the warriors of Israel would come from their confidence that their God was with them and would not forsake them. In vv. 7,8, Moses repeated the substance of his exhortation, this time addressing it specifically to Joshua in the presence of the people to encourage him and to remind the people that Joshua's leadership was being assumed with the full approval of God. This principle for faith and confidence is repeated in 31:23; Josh. 1:5–7; 2 Sam. 10:12; 2 Kin. 2:2; 1 Chr. 22:11–13; 2 Chr. 32:1–8; Ps. 27:14. The writer of Hebrews quotes vv. 6, 8 in 13:5.
申命记 31:6–8 你们当刚强壮胆。 以色列战士的力量和勇气来自于他们确信神与他们同在，必不撇下他们。在第7-8节中，摩西重申了他劝勉的要点，这次是当着百姓的面特别对约书亚说，为要鼓励他，并提醒百姓约书亚的领导权是在神完全的许可下承担的。这信心和确据的原则在31:23；书1:5-7；撒下10:12；王下2:2；代上22:11-13；代下32:1-8；诗27:14中反复出现。希伯来书的作者在13:5中引用了第6、8节。

Deuteronomy 32:43 Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people. As a result of the execution of God's vengeance, all nations will be called upon to praise with Israel the Lord who will have provided redemptively for them in Christ and also provided a new beginning in the land. This atonement for the land is the satisfaction of God's wrath by the sacrifice of His enemies in judgment. The atonement for the people is by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross (see Ps. 79:9). Paul quotes this passage in Romans 15:10, as does the writer of Hebrews (1:6).
申命记 32:43 你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢呼。 因着神报仇的执行，万国将被召与以色列一同赞美主，祂在基督里为他们救赎性地预备，也为他们在应许之地预备新的开始。这地的赎罪是借着在审判中献上祂的仇敌来满足神的忿怒。百姓的赎罪则是借着耶稣基督在十字架上的牺牲（参见诗79:9）。保罗在罗马书15:10中引用了这段经文，希伯来书的作者也在1:6中引用了。

Psalm 40:6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire. David is not negating the commandment to offer sacrifices, but is emphasizing their being offered with the right attitude of heart (contra. Saul, 1 Sam. 15:22, 23; note the emphases on proper spiritual prerequisites for sacrifices in Pss. 19:14; 50:7–15; 51:15–17; 69:30–31; Is.1:10–15; Jer.7:21–26; Hos.6:6; Amos 5:21–24; Mic. 6:6–8; Matt. 23:23). My ears You have opened. Literally, "ears" or "two ears You have dug for me." This pictures obedience and dedication.
诗篇 40:6 祭物和礼物，你不喜悦。 大卫并非否定献祭的命令，而是强调献祭时应有正确的心态（对比扫罗，撒上15:22, 23；注意在诗19:14；50:7-15；51:15-17；69:30-31；赛1:10-15；耶7:21-26；何6:6；摩5:21-24；弥6:6-8；太23:23中对献祭的属灵先决条件的强调）。你已经开通我的耳朵。 直译为"耳朵"或"你为我开凿了两个耳朵"。这描绘了顺服和奉献。

Luke 7:32 like children. Christ used strong derision to rebuke the Pharisees. He suggested they were behaving childishly, determined not to be pleased, whether invited to "dance" (a reference to Christ's joyous style of ministry, "eating and drinking" with sinners—v. 34) or urged to "weep"(a reference to John the Baptist's call to repentance and John's more austere manner of ministry—v. 33).
路加福音 7:32 好像孩童。 基督用强烈的嘲讽斥责法利赛人。祂暗示他们行为幼稚，无论如何都不肯满足，无论是被邀请"跳舞"（指基督欢乐的事工方式，与罪人一同"吃喝"——第34节）还是被催促"哀哭"（指施洗约翰悔改的呼召和约翰更为严肃的事工方式——第33节）。

DAY 4: How is God characterized in the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32?
第4天：在申命记32章摩西之歌中，神是如何被描绘的？

The Song of Moses is a call to Israel to always "ascribe greatness to our God" (v. 3). This command refers to the greatness of God revealed in His acts of omnipotence. Read through the song and note the descriptions of God.
摩西之歌呼吁以色列要常常"归给我们神以大能"（第3节）。这命令指的是神在其全能作为中彰显的伟大。阅读全诗并注意对神的描述。

"The Rock" (v. 4). This word, representing the stability and permanence of God, was placed at the beginning of the verse for emphasis and was followed by a series of phrases which elaborated the attributes of God as the Rock of Israel. It is one of the principle themes in this song (see vv. 15, 18, 30, 31), stressing the unchanging nature of God in contrast with the fickle nature of the people. "Your Father" (v. 6). The foolishness and stupidity of Israel would be seen in the fact that they would rebel against God who as a Father had brought them forth and formed them into a nation. As Father, He was the progenitor and originator of the nation and the One who had matured and sustained it. This idea of God as Father of the nation is emphasized in the Old Testament (see 1 Chr. 29:10; Is. 63:16; 64:8; Mal. 2:10) while the idea of God as Father of individual believers is developed in the New Testament (see Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6).
"磐石"（第4节）。这个词代表神的稳固和永恒，被放在经文的开头以强调，随后是一系列短语，阐述神作为以色列磐石的属性。这是本诗的主要主题之一（参见第15、18、30、31节），强调神不变的本性，与百姓反复无常的本性形成对比。"你的父"（第6节）。以色列的愚昧和愚蠢表现在他们竟然背叛作为父亲将他们领出并塑造成一个国家的神。作为父亲，祂是这国家的先祖和创始者，是使其成熟并维系其存在的那一位。旧约强调神作为国家之父的观念（参见代上29:10；赛63:16；64:8；玛2:10），而新约则发展了神作为个人信徒之父的观念（参见罗8:15；加4:6）。

"The Most High" (vv. 8, 9). This title for God emphasized His sovereignty and authority over all the nations (see Gen. 11:9; 10:32; 14:18; Num. 24:16) with the amazing revelation that, in the whole plan for the world, God had as His goal the salvation of His chosen people. God ordained a plan where the number of nations (70, according to Gen. 10) corresponded to the number of the children of Israel (70, according to Gen. 46:27). Further, as God gave the nations their lands, He established their boundaries, leaving Israel enough land to sustain their expected population.
"至高者"（第8、9节）。神的这一称号强调祂对万国的主权和权柄（参见创11:9；10:32；14:18；民24:16），令人惊叹的启示是，在整个世界计划中，神的目标是拯救祂的选民。神命定的计划中，列国的数目（根据创世记10章为70个）与以色列子民的数目相对应（根据创世记46:27为70人）。此外，当神赐给列国他们的土地时，祂设立了他们的疆界，给以色列留下足够的土地以维持他们预期的人口。

"Hovers over its young" (v. 11). The Lord exercised His loving care for Israel like an eagle caring for its young, especially as they were taught to fly. As they began to fly and had little strength, they would start to fall. At that point, an eagle would stop their fall by spreading its wings so they could land on them. So the Lord has carried Israel and not let the nation fall. He has been training Israel to fly on His wings of love and omnipotence.
"盘旋在雏鹰以上"（第11节）。主对以色列的慈爱看顾，如同鹰照顾它的幼雏，特别是在教导它们飞翔时。当它们开始飞行而力量不足时，就会开始下坠。这时，鹰会张开翅膀阻止它们坠落，使它们能够落在翅膀上。因此，主扶持以色列，不让这国跌倒。祂一直在训练以色列在祂慈爱和全能的翅膀上飞翔。
