向神感恩的心 The Heart of Thanksgiving 黃嘉松牧師 Rev. Jay Huang

民數記11:1-6 (Numbers 11:1-6 ) 11:1 眾百姓發怨言，他們的惡語達到耶和華的耳中。耶和華聽見了就怒氣發作，使火在他們中間焚燒，直燒到營的邊界。 11:2 百姓向摩西哀求，摩西 祈求耶和華，火就熄了。

11:3 那地方便叫做他備拉，因為 耶和華的火燒在他們中間。 11:4 他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾 的心；以色列人又哭號說：「誰給我們肉吃呢？

11:5 我們記得，在埃及的時候不花錢就吃魚，也記得有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥、蒜。 11:6 現在我們的心血枯竭了，除這嗎哪以外，在我們眼前並 沒有別的東西。」

1 And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. 2 Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died down.

3 So the name of that place was called Taberah,[a] because the fire of the Lord burned among them. 4 Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, “Oh that we had meat to eat!

5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. 6 But now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at.”

【背景 Background】 出埃及地以後，滿了三個月來到西奈山。(出 19:1) They arrived at Mt. Sinai three months after leaving Egypt. (Ex 19:1)

在西乃山約一年後，他們起行往迦南地。(民 10:11) They stayed at Mt Sinai about 1 year before departing for Canaan. (Num. 10:11)

3. 他們常向神抱怨 (They often complaint to God)

11:1-3 And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp…….So the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burned among them.

11:4 他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾的心；以色列人又哭號說：「誰給我們肉吃呢？ 11:5 我們記得，在埃及的時候不花錢就吃魚，也記得有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥、蒜。 11:6 現在我們的心血枯竭了， 除這嗎哪以外，在我們眼前並 沒有別的東西。」

4 Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving 4 Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, “Oh that we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. 6 But now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at.”

【沒有向神感恩的心使我們成為 會報怨的人。】 Lack of gratitude to God makes us complain easily.

11:4 他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾的心；以色列人又哭號說：「誰給我們肉吃呢？ 一。因為忘記主的好處 (They forgot about the goodness of the Lord.) 11:4 他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾的心；以色列人又哭號說：「誰給我們肉吃呢？ (Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, “Oh that we had meat to eat!…)

詩100:4 當稱謝進入他的門；當讚美進入他的院。當感謝他，稱頌他的名！ 詩100:5 因為耶和華本為善。他的慈愛存到永遠；他的信實直到萬代。 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

(They influenced each other.) 11:4 他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾的 心；以色列人又哭號說：「誰給我 們肉吃呢？ 二。因為他們彼此影響 (They influenced each other.) 11:4 他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾的 心；以色列人又哭號說：「誰給我 們肉吃呢？ (Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, “Oh that we had meat to eat!…)

(They had partial recollection.) 三。因為他們選擇性的回憶 (They had partial recollection.) 11:5 我們記得，在埃及的時候不花錢就吃魚，也記得有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥、蒜。 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.

四。因為他們過度跨張問題 (They over-exaggerated the problem 四。因為他們過度跨張問題 (They over-exaggerated the problem.) 11:6 現在我們的心血枯竭了，除這 嗎哪以外，在我們眼前並沒有別的 東西。 But now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at.”

【嗎哪不是無味的食物】 (Manna is not without taste.) 11:7（這嗎哪彷彿芫荽子，又好像珍珠。11:8 百姓周圍行走，把嗎哪收起來，或用磨推，或用臼搗，煮在鍋 中，又做成餅，滋味好像新油。 11:9 夜間露水降在營中，嗎哪 也隨著降下。）

結論 (Conclusion) • 耶穌必需是我們至終的嗎哪 (Jesus has to be our ultimate Manna.) 約6:35耶穌說：「我就是生命的糧。到我這裡來的，必定不餓；信我的，永遠不渴。」 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
