旧约 - 民数记(Numbers)第2章

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

民数记第二章   第 2 章 

  民 2:2> 我教会的组织和纪律完善吗?有什么需要改进的? 

  2:2 摩西为着以下几个原因,将各宗族按支派组织起来:( 1 )有效地管理众多的群众;( 2 )使各支派易于得到应许之地;( 3 )从所属的支派,知道自己源出何处;( 4 )族谱是证明神的选民的惟一方法;( 5 )聚在自己支派的旗号之下,旅途中人不至失散。 

  民 2:34> 神设置的营帐最完善,我们事奉有没有照神的旨意安排? 

  2:34 这样的场面必定非常壮观,可算是世上最大的一次露营!其中仅是六十万战士便连营十九多公里,且不计妇女孩子。摩西要管理这庞大群体,并非易事。初期百姓对神与摩西一心顺服,但是离开西奈山,经过举步维艰的旷野,就开始大发牢骚、怨天尤人,不肯顺服,摩西不再能有效地管理他们。顺服神是惟一蒙福之路,不顺服会带来失败。出埃及记、利末记、民数记等书正是说明顺服神与不顺服神,二者的结局有何等强烈的对比。
