MEDITATION

Exodus 32:17-18

17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.”
18 But he said: “It is not the noise of the shout of victory, Nor the noise of the cry of defeat, But the sound of singing I hear.”

a. He faithfully attended to Moses.
b. He was such a good assistant to Moses.
c. When Moses came down from the mountain Joshua was there to meet him.
d. Both heard loud noises.
e. Joshua was a military man and so he thought that somehow war had broken out against Israel.
f. He had led Israel to victory in a battle against the Amalekites earlier.

沉思

《出埃及记 32：17-18》
17约书亚一听见百姓呼喊的声音，就对摩西说：“在营里有争战的声音。”

18摩西说：“这不是人打胜仗的声音，也不是人打败仗的声音，我所听见的乃是人歌唱的声音。”
