民六26~27　愿耶和华向你仰脸，赐你平安。他们要如此将我的名赐给以色列人，好使我赐福给他们。

　　弗四30　并且不要叫神的圣灵忧愁，你们原是在祂里面受了印记，直到得赎的日子。

　　〔民数记六章三一神之〕福分的第三部分：“愿耶和华向你仰脸，赐你平安。”（26）在这章的祝福里，说到面（face）和脸（countenance），二者有所不同。面指一个人的同在，脸指那人的表情。向人仰脸，意即向那人确认、保证、应许，并将一切给他。耶稣来，是作神的面；圣灵来，是作神的脸。以弗所四章三十节说，“不要叫神的圣灵忧愁。”我们若叫祂忧愁，祂的脸会拉下来。我们若顺从祂，祂就满意我们，并会向我们仰脸，向我们确认、保证、担保、应许，并赐给我们一切（民数记生命读经，九○页）。

　　Num. 6:26-27 Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. So shall they put My name upon the children of Israel, that I Myself may bless them.

　　Eph. 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption.

　　The third part of this blessing says, "Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace" (Num. 6:26). In the blessing in Numbers 6 we have both the face and the countenance, and there is a difference between them. The face denotes the presence of the person, and the countenance denotes the expression of the person. To lift up your countenance upon a person means that you confirm, assure, promise, and give everything to that person. Jesus came as the face of God, and the Holy Spirit comes as the countenance of God. Ephesians 4:30 says, "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God." If we grieve Him, His countenance will drop. If we obey Him, He will be happy with us, and He will lift up His countenance to confirm us, assure us, guarantee us, promise us, and give us everything. (Life-study of Numbers, pp. 81-82)

　　父赐福，子光照，圣灵仰脸。当三一神分赐到我们里面时，我们就有三一神的面，也有祂的脸。至终，我们在三一神里蒙保守，三一神对我们每天都是恩典，并且我们有平安。

　　在民数记六章二十三至二十六节，没有提到物质的福分。在这段经文里，主没有告诉以色列人，祂要带他们进入美地，祂要赐给他们各人一分土地，祂要保守他们免于饥荒，赐给他们雨水，保护他们脱离仇敌，并且使他们昌盛。这里的福分不属于这样的性质。

　　六章的福分是什么？这福分就是在父、子、灵身位里的三一神。在父里，我们领受福分，并在三一神里蒙保守。在子里，我们领受神的同在，并享受祂作恩典。在圣灵里，神向我们仰脸，我们昼夜享受平安（民数记生命读经，九○至九一页）。

　　祝福的第三面与灵神的脸面并祂的平安有关。主向我们仰脸，并赐平安，的确是三一的第三者—那灵—恩典的工作。今天那灵经常使神向我们仰脸，并赐我们平安。祂不仅在我们的环境里赐平安，也在我们的全人里，我们的心里，我们的灵里，甚至我们的心思里赐平安。我们在那灵里，借着那灵，并同着那灵，就有平安。别人也许在心、心思、灵和环境里，感到困扰，但我们不该受困扰。无论我们在哪里，都有平安，因为神的灵与我们同在，并且祂向我们仰脸。

　　我们可以简单的说，祝福就是将人带到神面前，带到对神的享受里。民数记六章的三重祝福，乃是在旧约里借着祭司祝福的表样。这表样启示正确的祝福，乃是将人带到神面前，带到祂的面光中，并带到祂脸的光照中，使他们有分于祂的恩典，并得着平安。这确实是正确的祝福。何等佳美！何等奇妙！（创世记生命读经，一四五○页）。

　　第三〔个祝福〕是灵的祝福。灵向我们仰脸，赐平安给我们。灵之于我们的，乃是神与我们同在，将平安带给我们。这个神圣三一的祝福，不是重在物质方面，乃是重在三一神来恩待我们，向我们显现，给我们看见（神的经纶与分赐，七页）。

　　参读：创世记生命读经，第九十五篇。

　　The Father blesses, the Son shines, and the Holy Spirit lifts up His countenance. When the Triune God is dispensed into us, we have the face of the Triune God and also His countenance. He is happy with us, assuring us, confirming us, guaranteeing us, promising us, and giving us everything. Eventually, we are kept in the Triune God, the Triune God becomes grace to us every day, and we have peace.

　　In Numbers 6:23-26 there is no mention of material blessing. In these verses the Lord did not tell the children of Israel that He would bring them into the good land, that He would give each one of them a portion of the land, that He would keep them from famine and give them rain, that He would protect them from their enemies, and that He would cause them to flourish. The blessing here is not of such a nature.

　　What, then, is the blessing in Numbers 6? This blessing is the Triune God in His person as the Father, as the Son, and as the Spirit. In the Father we receive the blessing and are kept in the Triune God. In the Son we receive God's presence and enjoy Him as grace. In the Holy Spirit God's countenance is over us, and we enjoy peace day and night. (Life-study of Numbers, p. 82)

　　The third aspect of the blessing is related to God the Spirit's countenance and His peace. The lifting up of the Lord's countenance upon us and the giving of peace is certainly the gracious work of the third of the Trinity, the Spirit. Today the Spirit is constantly lifting up God's countenance over us and giving us peace. He gives peace not only in our environment, but also in our being—in our heart, in our spirit, and even in our mind. In the Spirit, through the Spirit, and with the Spirit we have peace. Others may be troubled in heart, mind, spirit, and environment, but we should not be troubled. Wherever we are, we have peace because the Spirit of God is with us and His countenance is uplifted over us.

　　In summary we may say that blessing is the bringing of people into the presence of God, into the very enjoyment of God. The threefold blessing in Numbers 6 is the pattern of blessing by the priests in the Old Testament. This pattern reveals that the proper blessing is to bring people into the presence of God, into the light of His face, and into the shining of His countenance that they may participate in His grace and may have peace. This surely is the proper blessing. How wonderful! How marvelous! (Life-study of Genesis, p. 1217)

　　The third [blessing] is the blessing of the Spirit: the Spirit lifts up His countenance upon us and gives us peace; the Spirit is the presence of God with us, bringing with Him peace. This blessing of the Divine Trinity is not related mainly to material things; it is related mainly to the Triune God being gracious to us, appearing to us, and being seen by us. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 3, "The Economy and Dispensing of God," p. 87)
