Was the Proverbs 31 woman workaholic?


 

“She did not necessarily have ongoing concurrent businesses in real estate, farming, tanning, and textiles. But over the years she has done such things. The behaviors are typical, not constant and simultaneous. We are reading about a lifetime achievement recognition, not her daily planner. The shift away from present-tense translation removes possible overtones of workaholism and adds the quality of persevering faithfulness.” (p.271)

棚子、雲柱、火柱有甚麼關係?

很美的畫面,有沒有畫家畫過呢? 「到那日,……耶和華會在……錫安的各個聚會之上,日間造雲和煙,夜間造煌煌烈焰;的確,在每個榮耀者之上會有蔭庇,有一個棚子,日間讓人遮蔭抵禦炎熱,也作避難所和藏身處,讓人躲避狂風暴雨。」(以賽亞書4:2-6,《環球聖經譯本》) 





不久前的住棚節期間,聽到一個問題和答案,並非關於這段以賽亞書經文,而關於摩西五經裡叫以色列人住棚的吩咐。那條問題是,以色列人在曠野住的是帳幕,帳幕是毛氈做的,棚子是枝葉搭的,兩者不同,為甚麼說以色列人在曠野曾經住棚子?

「磐石」可能是石山

在希臘旅行,車駛近哥林多的時候,導遊說:「Look at this rock.」一座巍峨的石山屹立在哥林多城旁邊。這個景色很好地說明了聖經裡說上帝是Rock是甚麼意思(如申命記32:4)。

Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament Partial Online View

The fifteen-volume Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament is a recommended set of reference books for looking up the background, meaning and usage of Old Testament Hebrew words.
When one cannot go to a library immediately, the partial preview on Google Books can prove helpful.

I have not made this link table for the sake of putting it up on the blog. Rather, I made it for my own use, but as a by-product I can share the convenience here as well.

Recently I found that on Amazon's preview, not many pages of this set can be seen. Rather, Google Books share more pages. So, below are two sets of links.

Here are the links to all fifteen volumes with the range of words in each volume.

Google Books:

TDOT 1 אב-בדד
TDOT 2 בדל-גלה
TDOT 3 גלולים - הרס

Hebrew songs with words from the Book of Isaiah

Here is the link to a YouTube playlist with 6 such songs.

The Book of Isaiah is apparently also a rich resource for songs, apart from the Psalms.
I've searched for such songs up to chapter 12 only. Later I may include more links in this post.

怎樣判斷希伯來文:有聲還是無聲(二)

情景
:的位置


結果
1
在第一個字


有聲
2.1
在第二個字
之前的響音是短響音
之上的字母中間沒有一點
無聲
2.2
在第二個字
之前的響音是短響音
之上的字母中間一點
有聲

上次談了情景12.1,今次談2.2
甚麼叫做「之上的字母中間有一點」?例如這四個字母:ס מ נ ל,加了「字中點」就變成
סּ מּ נּ לּ
絕大部分字母一旦加了「字中點」,在概念上就表示重複這個字母一遍。例如:מַלְּטָה的簡單音譯寫法是malletah。雖然讀出聲音來的時候跟不重複差不多,然而概念是要重複一遍,音譯也要這樣寫。

練習二:情景2.2
שִׁמְּרָה שִׁמְּרוּ  נִשְּׁקָה לִמְּדוּ שֻׁמְּרָה לֻמְּדָה

練習三:情景12.12.2混在一起
לְהִשָּׁבֵעַ  שִׂמְּחָם פִּשְׁתִּים נְאֻם וְאַבֵּד וְשַׂמְתּוֹ כִּדְבַר חִזְּקוּ שִׂמְּחוּךָ

怎樣判斷希伯來文:有聲還是無聲(一)


有聲時讀輕「呃」。無聲時只表示音節(syllable)結束。

在第一個字:有聲
練習一:
שְׁמַע   וְאָהַב  בְּכָל  וְהָיוּ  לְבָבֶךָ  לְבָנֶיךָ  בְּבֵיתֶךָ

在第二個字:要靠一些因素來判斷。
情景一:之前的響音是短響音 + :之上的字母中間沒有一點 = 無聲。

看來很棒的YouTube影片系列:Shalom Sesame


今天無意中碰到這些YouTube,也許稱為「猶太文化芝麻街」?看來我可以在吃飯時看,輕鬆愉快!
關於猶太文化。有學習現代希伯來文的人,也可以當作溫習。另外也有說英文的版本。

Sing Psalms in Hebrew (updated on 11/12/2013)

【Now here are songs for 60 Psalms.】
Here's just a little growing collection of songs of Psalms in Hebrew which help us familiarize ourselves with the Hebrew Bible. I'm very grateful for all the people who write, sing, and distribute these lovely songs. May the Lord's name be magnified and praised in all the earth, and may His holy Words open our hearts to Him.

These are links to YouTube videos.

The songs collected here will be those which I feel easy to follow and sing along. The selected song styles are limited by my own culture and background (urban, a mixture of Chinese and Western influence, evangelical church, etc.). Please forgive me this.

Keywords: Hebrew Psalms, Hebrew songs of Psalms, Psalm songs in Hebrew

〈讚美詩篇〉:逾越節唱的詩篇,在YouTube聽

逾越節快到了。

根據猶太文獻,聖殿還在時,眾人在聖殿獻逾越節羔羊為祭時,「利未人唱〈讚美詩篇〉(Hallel),就是詩篇一一三至一一八篇。」(《基督徒之父是亞伯拉罕》頁259)

而猶太人在家舉行逾越節禮儀宴,其中也會唱〈讚美詩篇〉。包括耶穌和門徒最後晚餐那次逾越節禮儀宴。主和門徒在席上唱了這些詩,然後到客西馬尼園去。(見《基督徒之父是亞伯拉罕》頁260, 266)今天你看猶太人的逾越節禮儀宴禮文書《逾越節史話》(Haggadah),仍然會看到有兩頁印出了這六篇詩的全部希伯來文。

《基督徒之父是亞伯拉罕》作者韋爾森問:「有多少基督徒諳熟〈讚美詩篇〉(詩113118)?然而,耶穌和門徒在樓上大廳唱的毫無疑問主要就是這些詩篇。」(頁266)另外,原來這六篇詩也是猶太人教孩子學聖經首先教的幾課之一(頁318)。

以下的播放清單搜集了一些希伯來文詩歌,全都是用這六篇詩的經文作歌詞的。熟習一下〈讚美詩篇〉,可以默想這些詩的內容和逾越節、上主的救贖有甚麼關係,可以模仿主耶穌過逾越節的方式,可以溫習希伯來文,而且,如果你會參加逾越節禮儀宴,在席上唸這些詩篇時就會先有較深入的理解,不至於單是嘴裏順著唸了。

YouTube Playlist "Hebrew Faith Songs"

以下是其中一些歌的歌詞。

Below are the lyrics of some songs in the YouTube playlist “Hebrew Faith Songs”. These words of the Hebrew songs have helped me learn.
