聖經問答:約瑟(四)

Joseph06 (150 x 113)創世記43:1-45:15
約瑟是聖經里的重要人物之一。也許以下的問題會讓您更深地認識他。

一. 如前一課程一樣,請幾位以創世記43:1-45:15為劇本表演一下。在場的人不但受益,他們也會聽得更加明白。

二. 猶大為什麼告訴父親雅各(以色列)他們不用回埃及去?

三. 我們通過什麼知道猶大已經有所改變?哪位的“保證”比較好:呂便的(42:37)或猶大的(43:8-9)?

四. 如果迦南地有饑荒,怎麼會有“這地土產中最好的…”(43:11)?

五. 約瑟跟他的管家協商做什麼(43:16)?

六. 請列下什麼事情使兄弟們高興,什麼事情使他們害怕(43:17-34)。結果是什麼?

七. 約瑟為什麼激動地流下眼淚?

八. 為什麼他們都分開坐?兄弟們為什麼事情而愕然(43:33)?

九. 約瑟給兄弟們的考驗還沒有完;他還沒有得到最清楚的畫面,最徹底的了解。我的意思是約瑟還不知道,如果兄弟們有機會,會不會看輕弟弟便雅憫的性命如同多年前看輕了約瑟的生命一樣。約瑟不要傷害便雅憫;他要考驗兄弟們(44:1-17)。如果他們考不及格,便雅憫自然而然在誰的保佑之下?結果,誰出來,說什麼話,使得約瑟確實的知道他們既愛弟弟便雅憫又愛老父親雅各?此事也說服約瑟,他的兄弟們的確改變了態度。猶大說了些什麼?

十. 當約瑟表明身份時,兄弟們如何反應?請多描述此情況。

十一. 請把創世記四十五章五節和七節背下來:

和合本:5 現在,不要因為把我賣到這裡自憂自恨,這是神差我在你們以先來,為要保全生命。… 7:神差我在你們以先來,為要給你們存留余種在世上,又要大施拯救,保全你們的生命。

新譯本:5 現在你們不要因為把我賣到這裡來,而自憂自責。這原是上帝差派我在你們以先來這裡,為要保全性命。… 7 上帝差派我在你們以先來這裡,為要給你們在地上留下余種,大大施行拯救,保全你們的性命。

普通話本 :5 你們不要為這件事憂慮和自責。是上帝差遣我先到這裡來,為的是拯救大家的性命。 …7 上帝差我先到這裡來,就是要保全大地上一些人的性命,用這種奇異的方法拯救你們。

十二. 誰的手掌管一切?誰的旨意彰顯在這件事情里?神有沒有勉強這些人中的任何一個人做他所做的?

十三. 身為基督徒的我們,應該從約瑟所作所為學習什麼?(請列下幾樣事情。)

Joseph (4)
Genesis 43:1-45:15

1. Just as was suggested in the last lesson, let several people read Genesis 43:1-45:15 as a drama from a modern speech (translation) Bible.

2. Why did Judah tell his father Jacob (Israel) that they need not return to Egypt?

3. How do we know that Judah has changed some? Whose gave the better “guarantee,” Simeon or Judah?

4. If Canaan had a famine, how could there be “the best products of the land” (43:11)?

5. What plan did Joseph make with his steward (43:16)?

6. List events that made the brothers happy and events that made them fearful (43:17-34). )? What was the result?

7. Why was Joseph moved to tears?

8. Why did they sit separately? What astonished the brothers (43:33)?

9. Joseph’s test of his brothers is not yet over as he has not yet seen the total picture. Joseph still has not determined whether his brothers, if given the opportunity, would value lightly Benjamin’s life just as they had so lightly valued his life years before. Joseph does not want to endanger Benjamin; he wants to test his brothers (44:1-17). If the brothers fail the test, Benjamin automatically would come under the protection of whom? In the end, who stepped forward and what did he say that convinced Joseph that the brothers not only loved Benjamin and their elderly father Jacob, but that they were changed men with a different attitude toward life?

10. What was the brothers’ reaction when Joseph revealed his true identity? Try to describe the situation.

11. Memorize Genesis 45:5 and 7. Three Chinese versions are quoted above. Here is the New International Version: “5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. …7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.”

12. Whose hand controls all things? Whose will is evident in these events? Did God make any of these people do what they did?

13. As Christians, what can we learn from Joseph?
