본문의 중심내용

군대(1,2장)와 회막 봉사 조직(3,4장)을 갖추고, 부정한 것을 제거하고(5장), 하나님께 온전히 드려진 삶까지 배워 광야로 나설 준비가 된 이스라엘에게 하나님은 복을 약속하십니다. 

[ 민수기 6:13 - 6:27 ] (찬송28장)

13나실인의 법은 이러하니라 자기의 몸을 구별한 날이 차면 그 사람을 회막 문으로 데리고 갈 것이요 14그는 여호와께 헌물을 드리되 번제물로 일 년 된 흠 없는 숫양 한 마리와 속죄제물로 일 년 된 흠 없는 어린 암양 한 마리와 화목제물로 흠 없는 숫양 한 마리와 15무교병 한 광주리와 고운 가루에 기름 섞은 과자들과 기름 바른 무교전병들과 그 소제물과 전제물을 드릴 것이요 16제사장은 그것들을 여호와 앞에 가져다가 속죄제와 번제를 드리고 17화목제물로 숫양에 무교병 한 광주리를 아울러 여호와께 드리고 그 소제와 전제를 드릴 것이요 18자기의 몸을 구별한 나실인은 회막 문에서 자기의 머리털을 밀고 그것을 화목제물 밑에 있는 불에 둘지며 19자기의 몸을 구별한 나실인이 그의 머리 털을 민 후에 제사장이 삶은 숫양의 어깨와 광주리 가운데 무교병 하나와 무교전병 하나를 취하여 나실인의 두 손에 두고 20여호와 앞에 요제로 흔들 것이며 그것과 흔든 가슴과 받들어올린 넓적다리는 성물이라 다 제사장에게 돌릴 것이니라 그 후에는 나실인이 포도주를 마실 수 있느니라 21이는 곧 서원한 나실인이 자기의 몸을 구별한 일로 말미암아 여호와께 헌물을 드림과 행할 법이며 이외에도 힘이 미치는 대로 하려니와 그가 서원한 대로 자기의 몸을 구별하는 법을 따라 할 것이니라

 22여호와께서 모세에게 말씀하여 이르시되 23아론과 그의 아들들에게 말하여 이르기를 너희는 이스라엘 자손을 위하여 이렇게 축복하여 이르되 24여호와는 네게 복을 주시고 너를 지키시기를 원하며 25여호와는 그의 얼굴을 네게 비추사 은혜 베푸시기를 원하며 26여호와는 그 얼굴을 네게로 향하여 드사 평강 주시기를 원하노라 할지니라 하라 27그들은 이같이 내 이름으로 이스라엘 자손에게 축복할지니 내가 그들에게 복을 주리라

[ Numbers 6:13 - 6:27 ]

13“And this is the law for the Nazirite, when the time of his separation has been completed: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting,14 and he shall bring his gift to the LORD, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish as a sin offering, and one ram without blemish as a peace offering,15 and a basket of unleavened bread, loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and their grain offering and their drink offerings.16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering,17 and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its grain offering and its drink offering.18 And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peace offering.19 And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram, when it is boiled, and one unleavened loaf out of the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the hair of his consecration,20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. They are a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed. And after that the Nazirite may drink wine.21 “This is the law of the Nazirite. But if he vows an offering to the LORD above his Nazirite vow, as he can afford, in exact accordance with the vow that he takes, then he shall do in addition to the law of the Nazirite.”22 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,24 The LORD bless you and keep you;25 the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;26 the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.27 “So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”

Thinking & Understanding

A Nazirite who had completed their time of separation went to the priest and made an offering. They gave a burnt offering, sin offering and peace offering as a way of praying for the ability to continue to devote themselves with the same heart even though their time of living as a model of holiness in the camp of Israel had come to an end (vv. 13-21). God taught Moses a prayer of blessing to be recited by the priests for the sake of the people (vv. 22-27). It was the duty of the priests to pray for God to bless the people. This ‘blessing’ was a life of walking harmoniously with God.  

Who is God?

Vv. 22-27 God desires to give us true blessings. True blessings and happiness is seeing God’s gentle countenance and enjoying true peace. What blessings are you seeking? Could the blessings you seek be just carefully disguised greed?

What lesson is God teaching me?

Vv. 13-20 Grace makes devotion possible. It isn’t enough just to be determined.  Devotion without grace results only in self-righteousness. If you are feeling burnt out by endless acts of servitude, now is the time to remember God’s grace and pray for God to restore the joy of worship. Do you keep your heart guarded in daily life even after the end of a special period of servitude? 

Prayer

Lord, I will not forget that you are the source of blessings and that we are your channels of blessing.
