民数记第八课：摩押人引诱以色列人 ：民数记二十五章
以色列人能够接受神的礼物，就是那应许之地吗？神不让巴兰咒诅以色列人，但是巴兰和摩押王巴勒想了办法使得以色列人跌倒、犯罪、伤害自己、违背神。
一。民数记25:1-5：摩押女子做巴兰做不到的事：虽然巴兰的邪术没有让摩押王巴勒征服以色列人，但是巴勒没有放弃他的计划。巴勒联系到摩押的女子，请他们参与另外一个计谋。当时摩押人敬拜“巴力”邪神。敬拜巴力邪神的仪式包括“淫乱”，所以巴勒王的诡计是让摩押人（特别是女子）请以色列人参与摩押人的宗教活动和行淫仪式。结果，摩押女子就做成了巴兰做不到的事。“因为这___子叫百姓来，一同给她们的神献___，百姓就___她们的祭物，跪___她们的神”（和合本）。《圣经》普通话本把此段记载翻译如下：“以色列人驻扎在什亭，有人与摩押女子行淫取乐。摩押女子邀请以色列人参加他们的敬神庆典，以色列人吃了他们的祭物，拜了他们的神明。就这样，以色列人开始拜巴力毗珥。主向以色列人发怒，对摩西说∶“你把以色列的首领们都公开吊死在我的面前，才能平息我的怒气” 。摩西对以色列的法官们说：“你们要杀掉你们各自支派里拜了异神毗珥巴力的人”（普通话本）。由此事可知，虽然以色列人在埃及藉着“十灾”而见到真神的大能，在西奈山领受“十诫”而了解神的标准，在旷野天天吃吗哪而享受神的恩典，在加低斯（两次）因为违背神而接受了神的刑罚（流浪四十年），在何珥玛藉着神的手而大败敌人，虽然这样，摩押女子一引诱以色列人，他们马上就离开真神，敬拜邪神，参与拜偶像的宴席并且与摩押女子犯奸淫罪。你认为他们为什么这样行呢？这件事情使得我们了解什么的吸引力？以色列人行了两种奸淫罪，是什么？
《新约》的作者引用此事劝勉基督徒要做什么（哥林多前书10:6-8）？《新约》哥林多前书十章12节警告基督徒：“所以，自___以为站得___的，须要谨___，免得跌___”。使以色列人这次背叛耶和华神，失败，是谁提议给巴勒的（民数记31:16）？（注意：“巴力”原文是“主”的意思。）
二。民数记25:6-18：非尼哈为神挺身而出：请说明心利，哥斯比和非尼哈，这三个人，所做的。心利和哥斯比所做的是不可思议的。心利完全诽谤和污辱了神、家、族、己。几个人死了？死人血的责任归在谁的身上？
神怎么样夸奖，肯定并赏赐非尼哈？“…使我向以色列人所发的___消了，因他在他们中间，以我的___ ___为心，使我不在___ ___中把他们除灭” （和合本）。“…因为他曾为他的上帝挺身而出，以色列人赎了罪”（普通话本）。之后，以色列人要把米甸人看为___ ___。从此可知，耶和华神不容忍___恶。今天的社会以“你好，我好，大家好”为口号，以“包容一切”为座右铭；今天很多人不要把任何事情定为“罪”。你认为神怎么看来呢？

Numbers/08: Moab Seduces Israel
Numbers chapter 25
1. Numbers 25:1-5: Moabite Women Do What Balaam Could Not: Although Balaam’s sorcery could not enable Moabite king Balak to subdue the Israelites, Balak did not give up. Balak involved the Moabite women in another plot he made. At that time, Moabites worshipped the false god Baal. Baal worship included adultery, so Balak’s scheme was for the Moabites (especially the women) to invite the Israelites to participate in their religious activities and adulterous rites. This resulted in the Moabite women doing what Balaam could not. “…Moabite w_____, who invited them to the s_________ to their gods. The people a___ and b_____ down before these gods.” [Blanks are from the Chinese Union Version. Vs. 1-5 from the Easy-to-Read Chinese Version are also given.] Thus, even though the Israelites witnessed God’s power in the Ten Plagues in Egypt, learned God’s standard from the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai, enjoyed God’s grace by eating manna in the wilderness, received God’s punishment (forty years of wandering in the wilderness) after disobeying God at Kadesh (twice), and finally, through God’s actions) defeated their enemies at Arad, even though all this took place, as soon as the Moabite women enticed the Israelites, they immediately left the true God and worshipped false gods. They participated in idol-worship feasts and they committed adultery with Moabite women. Why do you think they did this? From this incident we see the attraction of se__. Israelites engaged in two types of adultery; what are they? A New Testament writer used this incident to encourage Christians to do what (1 Cor. 10:6-8)? First Corinthians ch. 10, v. 12 warns Christians: “So, if y___ think you are standing f____, be c______ that you don’t f____!” At the suggestion of whom did Balak cause the Israelites to disobey Jehovah God and fail (Num. 31:16)? (Note: Baal in the original language means “lord” or “master.”)
2. Numbers 25:6-18: Phinehas Stepped Forward Bravely for God: Describe what all Zimri, Cozbi and Phinehas did. What Zimri and Cozbi did was beyond comprehension. Zimri completely maligned and insulted his God, his family, his nation and himself. How many people died? Who was to blame for the deaths of those who died? How did God commend, affirm and reward Phinehas? “…has turned my a_____ away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my h_____ among them, so that in my z_____ I did not put an end to them.” [The Easy-to-Read Chinese Version is also given.] After this, the Israelites treated the Moabites as e______. From this we see that the Lord God does not put up with si__. Society today takes “I’m fine, you’re fine, everyone is fine,” as a motto and “Accept everything” as a maxim; nothing is labeled as “sin.” How do you think God looks at this situation?
