The Bible Says
申命记 25:4 含义

摩西规定了对有罪之人应有的惩罚(第 1-3 节),然后开始讨论如何正确对待动物。人们在牛打谷时不能笼住它的嘴(第 4 节)。是一种大型驯养动物,非常适合农活,例如耕作(申命记 14:4;22:10)和打谷-从植物茎上摘下谷粒的过程。这意味着,上帝的子民被禁止将某种物体放在嘴上,以防止它在工作时吃谷粒。牛在打谷时应该有权吃尽可能多的谷粒。

在为人类提供正义的背景下,这节经文似乎令人惊讶。摩西可能在这里添加了这条法律(在有关公平对待罪犯的法律之后),以强调这一概念:如果动物值得同情对待,那么按照上帝的形象创造的人类就值得更多。前一节经文对惩罚进行了限制,限制用棍棒打人不超过四十次。

使徒保罗明确指出,这节经文的主要应用对象应该是人类。在引用申命记 25:4 中关于禁止给牛套嘴的禁令后,保罗说:“难道神不关心牛吗?难道他全是为了我们说这话吗?是的,这话是为我们写的。”(哥林多前书 9:9b-10a)

在新约中,使徒保罗在两处引用了这节经文,以应用那些为教会服务的人应该得到物质支持的原则(提摩太前书 5:18;哥林多前书 9:9-14)。保罗告诉他的读者,“主指示那些传福音的人要靠福音为生”(哥林多前书 9:14)。摩西把这节禁止给牛套嘴的经文放在这里也可能是为了推进法官应该因其在以色列执行正义的工作而获得报酬的原则。
