Welcome to Mindshift, I'm Brandon, and today is episode four of our newest series, A Secular Bible Study, in which we focus on one book of the Bible every Thursday morning at 9 a.m.

歡迎來到 "心靈轉換"，我是布蘭登，今天是我們最新系列 "世俗聖經研讀 "的第四集，我們將在每週四上午 9 點集中研讀《聖經》中的一卷書。

Today is episode four, and that is Numbers.

今天是第四集，也就是《數字》。

But don't click off just because you think that's going to be the boringest book ever.

但不要因為覺得這將是有史以來最無聊的一本書，就點擊關閉。

They could have named this book anything.

他們可以給這本書起任何名字。

This book is about poisonous snakes and leprosy and the earth swallowing people, spies and miracles and events happen in this book.

這本書講述了毒蛇、麻風病、大地吞人、間諜、奇蹟和書中發生的事件。

This does not want to be skipped, and it plays a pivotal role in what has been developing in the first three books and what is to come for God's chosen people.

這一點不容忽視，它在前三卷書的發展和上帝選民的未來中起著關鍵作用。

We're going to go lightning fast through these seven points here and give you guys an excellent understanding of the book of Numbers.

我們將以迅雷不及掩耳之勢介紹這七點，讓你們對《民數記》有一個深入的瞭解。

Let's start right now with point one, which is book overview.

現在，讓我們從第一點開始，即圖書概覽。

Again, so much happens here, and I want to give you guys some structure.

再說一遍，這裡發生了很多事情，我想給你們一些條理。

So the reason the book is called Numbers is because it starts and ends with a census.

是以，這本書之所以叫《民數記》，是因為它以人口普查作為開頭和結尾。

And again, this is just a couple of years after they have left Egypt, and now we see the full 12 tribes with a special proclamation for the tribe of Levi or the Levites being the priestly tribe.

同樣，這只是他們離開埃及後的幾年，現在我們看到的是完整的 12 個支派，其中利未支派（利未人是祭司支派）有一個特別的宣告。

But we get a full accounting of these 12 tribes, how many people we have, how many soldiers we have, etc.

但是，我們會得到這 12 個部落的完整賬目，我們有多少人，我們有多少阿兵哥，等等。

And by the end, we're looking at the next generation, the generation that gets to enter the promised land.

到最後，我們看到的是下一代，也就是能夠進入應許之地的一代。

So I'll clear up this confusion right here, because so many people make the jokes, and I have too, because it's funny, like, oh, God's a horrible GPS system.

所以，我要在這裡澄清這個困惑，因為很多人都會開這種玩笑，我也開過，因為這很有趣，比如，哦，上帝的 GPS 系統太可怕了。

Why did it take 40 years to go what should have been an 11-day walk?

為什麼本該 11 天走完的路要花 40 年時間？

Yes, it's a time of testing and trial, but they aren't just wandering the whole time.

是的，這是一個考驗和試煉的時期，但他們並不是一直在徘徊。

In fact, they spent the last year camped at Sinai, essentially.

事實上，他們去年基本上是在西奈紮營度過的。

現在，他們正在收拾行李，準備離開西奈半島。

They're going to head to the promised land.

We had to take that year to establish the law and figure out the tabernacle and get everything like that set, but we're ready to go.

我們必須用一年的時間來制定律法、籌劃會幕，把一切都準備好，但我們已經準備好了。

And then on the way, they screw up, and God punishes them and says, nope, you guys don't get to go in, but your children will.

然後在路上，他們搞砸了，上帝懲罰他們說，不，你們不能進去，但你們的孩子可以。

Thus, the other 30-some years of wandering around in the wilderness, and then we take a census at the end of the book, and those are the people that are going to inherit Canaan, the promised land.

是以，他們在曠野流浪了 30 多年，然後我們在書末進行了一次人口普查，這些人將繼承迦南，即應許之地。

They're like weeks away from entering the promised land, and they want to go back, but now that they're never going to get to go to the promised land, now they want to stay.

他們離進入應許之地只有幾周的時間了，他們想回去，但現在他們永遠也去不了應許之地了，現在他們想留下來。

Okay, so let's do a speed run through all of the events that happen here in the book of Numbers. 12 tribes.

好了，讓我們快速瀏覽一下《民數記》中發生的所有事件。12 個部落

So in some sense, God is providing, even though many people are dying.

是以，從某種意義上說，儘管許多人正在死去，但上帝仍在供應。

This time, it's Aaron and Miriam about Moses's leadership, which you can't really blame Aaron.

這一次，是亞倫和米利暗在談論摩西的上司能力，這不能怪亞倫。

He's got to be like, what the heck am I doing here?

他一定會想，我到底在這裡幹什麼？

Not to mention Miriam, bless Miriam's heart.

更不用說米里亞姆了，祝福米里亞姆的心。

She is leading these people in praise and worship.

她正在帶領這些人讚美和敬拜。

She has a moment of doubt with Moses, which I think makes total sense, but don't worry, God gives her leprosy and she dies during this book.

她對摩西產生了片刻的懷疑，我認為這完全說得通，但別擔心，上帝給了她麻風病，她在這本書中死了。

It's not going well for the family of Moses.

同樣在這本書中，摩西也不服從。

This happens with the miracle at the rock, where instead of letting God do his thing by Moses talking to the rock, he strikes the rock.

摩西沒有讓上帝通過與磐石對話來完成他的使命，而是敲打了磐石。

Now Moses gets a punishment of not getting to go in the promised land.

現在，摩西受到的懲罰是不能進入應許之地。

It's called Korah's rebellion, but don't worry, God opens up the earth and eats up a bunch of these people.

這就是所謂的可拉的叛亂，不過別擔心，上帝會開天闢地，吃掉一大群這樣的人。

Then there's still like 250 people that are supporting it.

These people are big, which is hilarious to me.

這些人都是大人物，這讓我覺得很好笑。

Like they've been following, I'm going to stop counting by the way, they've been following God literally, physically, they've seen him get them out of Egypt, the biggest military force on the planet at the time.

就像他們一直在追隨上帝一樣，順便說一句，我就不數了，他們一直在追隨上帝，從字面上，從肉體上，他們親眼看到上帝把他們帶出埃及，帶出當時地球上最大的軍事力量。

He is supposedly taken them through the Red Sea, which he parted.

據說他帶著他們穿過紅海，並將紅海分開。

He sends them literal sky food for them to eat.

他給他們送來了天上的食物，讓他們吃。

He brings water out of rocks, but seeing some people in the land they knew they were going to have to fight to take over is too much for them.

他從岩石中引出了水，但看到一些人出現在他們知道必須為奪取這片土地而戰的土地上，這讓他們難以接受。

And these 12 spies, one from each of the tribes, 10 of them say, nope, can't do it.

這 12 個探子，每個部落一個，其中 10 個說，不行，辦不到。

Then we get the heroes, Joshua and Caleb.

I remember wanting to be like Joshua so much as a kid, which is disgusting now when you learn what Joshua becomes, but 10 of them are like, guys, not a good idea.

我記得我小時候非常想成為約書亞那樣的人，現在當你知道約書亞變成了什麼樣子，就會覺得很噁心，但他們中的 10 個人都會說，夥計們，這不是個好主意。

Like what was the point of having spies if we're not going to take their word?

如果我們不相信他們的話，那要間諜有什麼用？

Either God was going to miraculously hand over the Canaanites to the Israelites, or it really is a strategic mission and has to do with no divine intervention whatsoever.

要麼上帝會奇蹟般地把迦南人交給以色列人，要麼這真的是一項戰略任務，與神的干預毫無關係。

In which case we should probably listen to the spies, but the spies get everyone all worked up.

在這種情況下，我們也許應該聽間諜的話，但間諜卻讓大家都很激動。

他們說，夥計們，我們做不到。

Everyone freaks out and is like, we can't do it.

每個人都嚇壞了，覺得我們做不到。

Probably because they never saw any of those other miracles because they never happened, but I digress.

也許是因為他們從未見過其他奇蹟，因為它們從未發生過，但我想說的是。

By the way, intermixed in all of this is a lot of punishments.

順便說一句，這其中還夾雜著許多懲罰。

We get punishments with the serpents that come and literally bite like everyone.

我們會受到毒蛇的懲罰，它們會像每個人一樣咬人。

And Moses is like, God, don't forget about your promise.

摩西說，上帝，別忘了你的承諾。

You promised Abraham you were going to take care of these people and use them to bless all the world.

你向亞伯拉罕保證過，你會照顧這些人，用他們來祝福全世界。

Make a bronze statue of a serpent, hang it high and have the people look at it and they'll be healed.

做一個銅蛇雕像，高高掛起，讓人們看著它，他們就會痊癒。

So it seems like God was this close to breaking his covenant with Abraham and destroying the free will of anyone involved here with all of these interventions.

是以，上帝似乎差一點就違背了他與亞伯拉罕的盟約，並通過所有這些干預行動摧毀了這裡所涉及的任何人的自由意志。

But he listens to humble little Moses who gets them out of this jam just for them to get in another jam coming up.

但他聽信了謙卑的小摩西的話，把他們從困境中解救出來，卻又讓他們陷入另一個困境。

It's right after this that he does the rock thing.

就在這之後，他又做了石頭的事情。

Now he gets the same punishment and he's like, darn it.

現在他受到了同樣的懲罰，他就想，真該死。

I guess I forgot everything I just got done praying for, for all the people.

我想我忘記了我剛剛為所有人祈禱的一切。

By the way, at some point here, we get the talking donkey.

順便說一句，在這裡的某個時刻，我們會看到會說話的驢子。

We get a real story about the talking donkey.

我們有一個關於會說話的驢子的真實故事。

Balaam is a prophet who works for King Moab.

And King Moab is like, yo, I don't like all these people hanging out in my Moab territories.

摩押國王就說，我不喜歡這些人在我的摩押領土上閒逛。

And he sends his prophet Balaam to curse the Israelites.

他派先知巴蘭去詛咒以色列人。
