Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
5:7 他要承認所犯的罪，將所虧負人的，如數賠還，另外加上五分之一，也歸與所虧負的人。
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
5:8 那人若沒有親屬可受所賠還的，那所賠還的就要歸與服事耶和華的祭司；至於那為他贖罪的公羊是在外。

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:2 「你吩咐以色列人，使一切長大痲瘋的，患漏症的，並因死屍不潔淨的，都出營外去。
Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
5:3 無論男女都要使他們出到營外，免得污穢他們的營；這營是我所住的。」
Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

全年讀經 : 馬可福音 4 : 1~20 Mark 4 : 1~20
4:1 耶穌又在海邊教訓人。有許多人到他那裡聚集，他只得上船坐下。船在海裡，眾人都靠近海，站在岸上。
And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
4:2 耶穌就用比喻教訓他們許多道理。在教訓之間，對他們說：
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
4:3 你們聽啊！有一個撒種的出去撒種。
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4:4 撒的時候，有落在路旁的，飛鳥來吃盡了；
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
4:5 有落在土淺石頭地上的，土既不深，發苗最快，
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
4:6 日頭出來一曬，因為沒有根，就枯乾了；
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
4:7 有落在荊棘裡的，荊棘長起來，把它擠住了，就不結實；
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
4:8 又有落在好土裡的，就發生長大，結實有三十倍的，有六十倍的，有一百倍的；
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
4:9 又說：有耳可聽的，就應當聽！
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
4:10 無人的時候，跟隨耶穌的人和十二個門徒問他這比喻的意思。
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.4:11 耶穌對他們說：神國的奧祕只叫你們知道，若是對外人講，凡事就用比喻，
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
4:12 叫他們看是看見，卻不曉得；聽是聽見，卻不明白；恐怕他們回轉過來，就得赦免。
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
4:13 又對他們說：你們不明白這比喻嗎？這樣怎能明白一切的比喻呢？
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
4:14 撒種之人所撒的就是道。
The sower soweth the word.
4:15 那撒在路旁的，就是人聽了道，撒但立刻來，把撒在他心裡的道奪了去。
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
4:16 那撒在石頭地上的，就是人聽了道，立刻歡喜領受，
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
4:17 但他心裡沒有根，不過是暫時的，及至為道遭了患難，或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了。
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. offended: or, stumbled, or, caused to fall into sin
4:18 還有那撒在荊棘裡的，就是人聽了道，
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
4:19 後來有世上的思慮、錢財的迷惑，和別樣的私慾進來，把道擠住了，就不能結實。
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. lusts: or, inordinate desires
4:20 那撒在好地上的，就是人聽道，又領受，並且結實，有三十倍的，有六十倍的，有一百倍的。
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it , and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
在大學時代，我和妻子瑪琳初次相遇。當時，我主修教牧學，她則攻讀兒童教育學位。第一次看見她和孩子們互動時，我就知道這個工作很符合她的天性，她很喜歡小孩。等我們婚後有了自己的孩子，她愛孩子的天性更是一覽無遺。我看到她給孩子無條件的愛，並完全地接納他們。這也使我體會到：這世界上沒有任何東西，能比得上母親對自己新生兒溫柔的愛及滿心的憐憫。
這就是以賽亞書49章15節受人囑目之處，上帝對那些自覺被離棄、被遺忘的孩子說（14節），祂的憐愛甚至比母愛更長闊高深。「婦人焉能忘記她吃奶的嬰孩，不憐恤她所生的兒子﹖即或有忘記的，我卻不忘記你。」
面臨生活上的掙扎，有時我們會懷疑上帝忘了我們，甚至認為祂不再愛我們了。然而，上帝對我們的愛長闊高深，就像基督耶穌在十架上敞開的雙臂，天父上帝的溫柔憐憫，比乳養嬰孩的母愛更為可靠、更為長久。接受祂的安慰吧，祂的愛永不止息。WEC
主永不忘祂的兒女，
從不放棄施予關懷；
即便我心游移不定，
祂的憐愛永恆不改。Sper
基督耶穌在十架上敞開的雙臂，
願上帝賜恩福與全家, 身心靈健壯, 凡事興盛.
小栗姐 祝福您, 服事得力, 滿有神恩典同在.
