MEDITATION

Exodus 15:22-27

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.
There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them,
26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.

沉思

《出埃及记 15:22-27》
22摩西领以色列人从红海往前行,到了书珥的旷野,在旷野走了三天,找不着水。
23到了玛拉,不能喝那里的水,因为水苦,所以那地名叫玛拉。
24百姓就向摩西发怨言,说:“我们喝什么呢?”
25摩西呼求耶和华,耶和华指示他一棵树。他把树丢在水里,水就变甜了。耶和华在那里为他们定了律例、典章,在那里试验他们。
26又说:“你若留意听耶和华你神的话,又行我眼中看为正的事,留心听我的诫命,守我一切的律例,我就不将所加于埃及人的疾病加在你身上,因为我耶和华是医治你的。”

27他们到了以琳,在那里有十二股水泉,七十棵棕树,他们就在那里的水边安营。
