旧约 - 利未记(Leviticus)第18章

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
利未记第十八章   第 18 章 

  利 18:3> 你的思想和行事为人有没有被世俗不良文化影响的地方? 

  18:3 以色列人刚从充满偶像的国家出来,即将进入另一个充满偶像的地方。神帮助他们竖立新的习俗,也警告他们,必须弃绝异教的习俗。祂警告他们,到了迦南地后,不可随从当地人的异教习俗。迦南的社会与宗教满足人的世俗欲望,尤其是淫乱、性的放任与醉酒。以色列人必须持守纯洁,将自己分别出来归神为圣。神不许祂的子民被周围的环境习俗所同化。社会迫人随从其生活与观念,如果我们屈从于压力,就会无所适从,也就难以好好地事奉神。要顺从神,不要让世俗熏染我们的思想与行为。 

  利 18:6-18> 从现今的角度看,混乱的性关系带给家庭和社会什么影响? 

  18:6-18 神禁止人乱伦,也不许近亲结婚,是为着身体、社会以及道德上的原因。近亲结婚所生的儿女,可能有严重的健康问题。神如果不颁布明确律例,人就会乱伦,先是在自己的家族中,后是与外人。随随便便的性关系会毁灭家庭。 

  利 18:6-27> 淫乱是罪恶之根源,你会怎样防范? 

  18:6-27 在这一段经文之中,列出几种可憎的,或者说是邪恶的行为:( 1 )与近亲乱伦;( 2 )奸淫或婚外情;( 3 )献孩童为祭;( 4 )同性恋;( 5 )人兽交。这些习俗在异教之中极其平常,神要严厉对待开始随俗的百姓。这些恶习使人患病、致畸,甚至死亡。它败坏家庭与社会,贱视自己与别人的价值。现代社会对这些事看得不太认真,甚至苟同,但是这些事在神眼中仍然是罪。如果你认为这些是可取的,你就是未按照神的标准来判断。──《灵修版圣经注释》
