MEDITATION

Exodus 23:27-28

27 “I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you.

Three groups mentioned here. There were others.

2. God’s promise of help

a. He will cause the enemies to feel fear in their hearts.
b. He will cause them to be confused too.
c. They will run away from the children of Israel.

3. Sending of hornets

a. Hornets are bees.
i. They can give a very nasty sting.
ii. Hornets are feared by many.
b. God could send real hornets to afflict the inhabitants of Canaan.
c. “Hornets” could also be a symbolic reference:

沉思

《出埃及记 23:27-28》
27凡你所到的地方，我要使那里的众民在你面前惊骇扰乱，又要使你一切仇敌转背逃跑。

28我要打发黄蜂飞在你前面，把希未人、迦南人、赫人撵出去。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 在迦南的仇敌

除了以下的三组，他们也面对其他的仇敌：

a. 希未人
b. 迦南人
c. 赫人

他们都是凶猛和对战斗熟悉的人。他们无法容忍以色列人进入他们所占为己有的国土。

2. 上帝所应许的帮助

a. 祂会使他们的仇敌心中感到惊慌
b. 祂也会使他们感到扰乱
c. 当他们面对以色列的子民的时候，他们会转背逃跑。

3. 上帝会打发黄蜂飞

a. 黄蜂是一种蜜蜂
i. 当它们扎到人的时候，人们会被刺伤。
ii. 许多人对黄蜂感到惧怕
b. 上帝会大发黄蜂来折腾拘留在迦南的人们
c. “黄蜂”的象征：
i. 上帝的帮助
ii. 上帝的大能

上帝会帮助以色列的子民征服这片土地。
