民六13　拿细耳人满了分别出来的日子，条例乃是这样：人要领他到会幕门口。

　　17　也要把那只公绵羊连同那筐无酵饼，献给耶和华作平安祭，又要将同献的素祭和奠祭献上。

　　在旧约，神命定亚伦的子孙作祭司。因此照着神的拣选，有些人生在祭司职分里。然而，对那些渴慕事奉神的人，门并未关闭，因为神也设立了拿细耳人的原则。那些没有生在祭司职分里的人，他们若有心事奉神，可以自愿成为拿细耳人。撒母耳是个拿细耳人。他生来不是祭司，却借着成为拿细耳人，至终得以担任祭司而事奉（撒上一~三）。亚伦家的祭司是神所拣选的，但拿细耳人是自己自愿的。今天这两个原则仍存于召会生活中。一面说来，我们蒙神所拣选（弗一4）；另一面，我们需要自愿成为拿细耳人，好作祭司事奉神。我们知道我们蒙神所拣选，但在实际的事奉里，我们不太觉得自己蒙了拣选。反而当我们在召会生活中事奉，我们多半感觉需要自愿。主耶稣是真正的拿细耳人。身为祂的跟从者，我们需要自愿事奉神。罗马十二章一至二节说到自愿献上自己，并从世界中分别出来归给神（圣言中所启示的神圣三一，八二页）。

　　Num. 6:13 Now this is the law of the Nazarite when the days of his separation are fulfilled: He shall be brought to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

　　17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall also offer its meal offering and its drink offering.

　　In the Old Testament God ordained that the descendants of Aaron would be the priests. Thus, some were born into the priesthood according to God's selection. However, the door was not closed for others who desired to serve God, for God also established the principle of the Nazarite. If those who were not born into the priesthood had a heart to serve God, they could volunteer as Nazarites. Samuel was a Nazarite. He was not born a priest, but by becoming a Nazarite, he eventually acted and served as a priest (1 Sam. 1—3). The Aaronic priests were chosen by God, but the Nazarites volunteered themselves. These two principles still exist in the church life today. On the one hand, we are chosen by God (Eph. 1:4); on the other hand, we need to volunteer as Nazarites in order to serve as priests. Although we know that we are chosen by God, in our actual service we do not have much consciousness of being chosen. Instead, when we serve in the church life, we are mainly conscious of the need to volunteer. The Lord Jesus was the real Nazarite. As His followers, we need to volunteer to serve God. Romans 12:1-2 speaks about voluntarily offering ourselves and being separated from the world unto God. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 3, "The Divine Trinity as Revealed in the Holy Word," pp. 267-268)

　　作拿细耳人的意思就是自愿，……〔我们需要看见〕神圣的三一完全牵连在拿细耳人的分别中。拿细耳人被分别出来，需要几种祭物—燔祭、赎罪祭、平安祭，以及不同种类抹油和调油的素祭饼。在分别拿细耳人的事上，这四种祭物都是基本的。

　　〔在民数记六章十三节，〕会幕指基督是神的居所，以及神子民聚集的地方。我们在出埃及记和利未记各处都看见，每一个享受神圣三一的事例，都是在会幕里。我们绝不该离开作为会幕的基督，因为祂是我们享受神圣三一的立场和范围。

　　旧约通常用“奉给耶和华”这个说法〔参14〕，而很少用“奉给神”这个说法。在旧约里，“耶和华”这个神圣称谓有两个主要特征：它指明神与人的关系，也指明三一。……在出埃及三章六节，耶和华说，“我是……亚伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神。”耶和华称自己为三代人的神，三重的神，含示神圣的三一。因此，在民数记六章拿细耳人的分别里，耶和华就是三一神。

　　在利未记一至七章祭司的承接圣职里，有燔祭、赎罪祭、平安祭和素祭，却没有奠祭；但在拿细耳人的分别里，包含了奠祭。这指明我们如果仅仅根据神的拣选事奉神，我们可以使神满足；但我们必须自愿事奉神，才能使神喜悦。

　　拿细耳人被分别出来，好叫他在预表里有分于神圣三一的神圣分赐。甚至在拿细耳人开始事奉之前，将自己从世界分别出来归神时，他就有分于神圣三一的丰富。按照罗马十二章一节的嘱咐，我们需要自愿将自己奉献给神；在民数记六章拿细耳人的分别这个预表里，显示神圣三一完全牵连在我们的奉献里（圣言中所启示的神圣三一，八二至八三、八六页）。

　　参读：民数记生命读经，第四十九至五十篇。

　　To be a Nazarite means to volunteer oneself, yet only recently did I see that the Trinity is altogether involved with the separation of the Nazarite. In the separation of the Nazarite there was the need of several offerings—the burnt offering, the sin offering, the peace offering, and the meal offering of different kinds of cakes anointed and mingled with oil. These four kinds of offerings were basic to the separation of the Nazarite.

　　[In Numbers 6:13] the Tent of Meeting refers to Christ as the dwelling place of God and the meeting place of His people. Every instance of enjoying the Trinity that we have seen throughout Exodus and Leviticus is at the Tent of Meeting. We must never leave Christ as the Tent of Meeting, because He is the ground and sphere for our enjoyment of the Divine Trinity.

　　The Old Testament almost always uses the expression offering to Jehovah [v. 14]; very rarely does it use the expression offering to God. The divine title Jehovah bears two primary characteristics in the Old Testament. It denotes God's relationship with man, and it denotes the Trinity. We have seen that in Exodus 3:6 Jehovah said, "I am...the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Jehovah identified Himself as the God of three generations, a threefold God, implying the Divine Trinity. Thus, in the separation of the Nazarite in Numbers 6, Jehovah is the Triune God.

　　With the consecration of the priests in Leviticus 1—7 there was the burnt offering, the sin offering, the peace offering, and the meal offering but no drink offering, but with the separation of the Nazarite the drink offering was included. This indicates that if we serve God based only on His selection, we may satisfy God, but we must volunteer to serve God to give Him pleasure.

　　The separation of the Nazarite was so that he might participate in the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity in type. Even before a Nazarite began serving, he participated in the riches of the Trinity when he separated himself from the world unto God. According to the charge in Romans 12:1, we need to voluntarily consecrate ourselves to God, and the types in the separation of the Nazarite in Numbers 6 show that the Divine Trinity is fully involved in our consecration. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 3, "The Divine Trinity as Revealed in the Holy Word," pp. 268, 270)
