The Bible Says
创世记 28:18-22 含义

以撒的儿子雅各,在梦中体验到上帝的同在,并以此表达他虔敬的回应。雅各清早起来,把枕在头下的石头立作柱子,浇上油(第18节)。这举动表明雅各将那块枕在头下的石头分别为圣,成为与上帝相遇的纪念。在古代近东,立柱象征着将一个地方或一件物品奉献给上帝。雅各此刻的奉献,彰显了他渴望纪念全能者非凡的造访。

经文随后揭示了他赋予这处圣地的具体名称他将那地方命名为伯特利;然而,此前这座城市的名字是路斯(第19节)。伯特利,意为“殿”,位于迦南地区,耶路撒冷以北,靠近艾城,标志着它对以色列后代具有重要的精神和地理意义。路斯是这座城市最初的名字,雅各重新命名它,强调了它从一个普通的定居点转变为一个神圣的地标。

雅各从此许下了一个意义重大的承诺:雅各许愿说:“愿神与我同在,在我所行的路上保佑我,又赐我食物吃、衣服穿” (第20节)。雅各谨记生存的必需品。他表达了对神保护和供给的绝对依赖。雅各许下这个誓言,表明他的信仰-这信仰是他祖父亚伯拉罕和父亲以撒的传承-将通过他延续下去。

他进一步阐述了如何履行这一誓言并宣告:“我若平平安安地回到我父亲的家,我就必以耶和华为我的神” (21节)。雅各期待着完成一次完整的旅程,希望再次蒙神恩待,如此一来,他将信心寄托在应许给他土地的身上。最后,他提到他打算将所得的一部分奉献出来: “我所立为柱子的石头也必作神的殿;凡你所赐给我的,我必将十分之一献给你” (22节)。正如亚伯拉罕先前向麦基洗德奉献十分之一(创世记14章),雅各在此也承诺了类似的原则,开创了早期对耶和华尊崇和感恩的先例。
