我夜间的歌曲《出埃及记》
Text: Exodus 5: 15-19
MEDITATION
Exodus 5:15-19
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why are you dealing thus with your servants?
16 There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, ‘Make brick!’ And indeed your servants are beaten, but the fault is in your own people.”
17 But he said, “You are idle! Idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
18 Therefore go now and work; for no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the quota of bricks.”
19 And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble after it was said, “You shall not reduce any bricks from your daily quota.”

沉思
《出埃及记 5:15-19》
15 以色列人的官长就来哀求法老说:“为什么这样待你的仆人?
16 督工的不把草给仆人,并且对我们说:‘做砖吧!’看哪,你仆人挨了打,其实是你百姓的错。”
17 但法老说:“你们是懒惰的!你们是懒惰的!所以说:‘容我们去祭祀耶和华。’
18 现在你们去做工吧!草是不给你们的,砖却要如数交纳。”19 以色列人的官长听说“你们每天做砖的工作一点不可减少”,就知道是遭遇祸患了。
