以色列人中頭生的男子比利未人多二百七十三個,必當將他們贖出來。 聖經寶庫 (Treasury of Scripture) redeemed 民數記 18:15 出埃及記 13:13 the two hundred. 22,000, and the first-born males of the Israelites were 22,273, there were therefore 372 more of the latter than of the former, which are here ordered to be redeemed. The price of redemption is fixed at five shekels, or about 15s. each, in ver 民數記 3:47 . This money, amounting to 1365 shekels, equal to F204. 15s. English, was taken of the first-born. There is some difficulty, however, in determining which of the first-born should be redeemed by paying this sum, and which should be exchanged for the Levites; for every Israelite, no doubt, would rather have his first-born redeemed by a Levite, than pay five shekels; and yet some of them must have incurred this expense. Rabbi Solomon Jarchi says, to prevent contention, Moses took 22,000 slips of parchment, and wrote on each a son of Levi, and 273 more, on which he wrote five shekels; then putting them in an urn, and shaking them together, he ordered every one of the first-born to draw out a slip. If he drew out one with the first inscription, he said to him, a Levite hath redeemed thee; but if he drew out one of the latter, he said, pay the price. This is pronounced by Dr. A. Clarke to be a stupid, silly tale; but when we know that the determination by lot was used among the Israelites, it does not seem improbable that it was now resorted to, though we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the detail. This species of redeeming men is referred to by Peter in his 1st Epistle, 民數記 1:18,19 . which are 民數記 3:39-43 鏈接 (Links) 民數記 3:46 雙語聖經 (Interlinear) • 民數記 3:46 多種語言 (Multilingual) • Números 3:46 西班牙人 (Spanish) • Nombres 3:46 法國人 (French) • 4 Mose 3:46 德語 (German) • 民數記 3:46 中國語文 (Chinese) • Numbers 3:46 英語 (English)現代標點和合本 (CUVMP Traditional) ©2011 Global Bible Initiative. |
