본문의 중심내용

시내 광야를 떠날 때가 이르자, 하나님은 은 나팔을 만들라 하시고, 나팔 소리로 군호를 짜 주십니다. 은 나팔 신호는 성막 구름이 대표하는 하나님의 이끄심을 보완합니다.

[ 민수기 10:1 - 10:10 ] (찬송180장)

1여호와께서 모세에게 말씀하여 이르시되 2은 나팔 둘을 만들되 두들겨 만들어서 그것으로 회중을 소집하며 진영을 출발하게 할 것이라 3나팔 두 개를 불 때에는 온 회중이 회막 문 앞에 모여서 네게로 나아올 것이요 4하나만 불 때에는 이스라엘의 천부장 된 지휘관들이 모여서 네게로 나아올 것이며 5너희가 그것을 크게 불 때에는 동쪽 진영들이 행진할 것이며 6두 번째로 크게 불 때에는 남쪽 진영들이 행진할 것이라 떠나려 할 때에는 나팔 소리를 크게 불 것이며 7또 회중을 모을 때에도 나팔을 불 것이나 소리를 크게 내지 말며 8그 나팔은 아론의 자손인 제사장들이 불지니 이는 너희 대대에 영원한 율례니라

 9또 너희 땅에서 너희가 자기를 압박하는 대적을 치러 나갈 때에는 나팔을 크게 불지니 그리하면 너희 하나님 여호와가 너희를 기억하고 너희를 너희의 대적에게서 구원하시리라 10또 너희의 희락의 날과 너희가 정한 절기와 초하루에는 번제물을 드리고 화목제물을 드리며 나팔을 불라 그로 말미암아 너희의 하나님이 너희를 기억하시리라 나는 너희의 하나님 여호와니라

 도움말

전체) 신약성경은 예수님이 다시 오시고 죽은 자가 살아날 때 나팔이 울릴 것이라고 예언한다(마 24:31; 고전 15:52; 살전 4:16).

[ Numbers 10:1 - 10:10 ]

1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,2 “Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp.3 And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.4 But if they blow only one, then the chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.5 When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out.6 And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out.7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not sound an alarm.8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.9 And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.10 On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be a reminder of you before your God: I am the LORD your God.” 

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

While the cloud instructed the Israelites when to stop and proceed, the silver trumpets were an instrument used by God for delivering a specific message. The silver trumpets were blown by the priests to make the military tribal chiefs gather together, call an assembly, or signal when it was time to set out. The sound of the trumpets was heard both by the Israelites and by God. They not only signified God’s commands but were also the people’s prayer for God to save them. The trumpets that were blown during feasts and specifically appointed times signified the people’s thanksgiving and praise to God (vv. 1-10). 

Who is God?

V. 9 God heard the sound of the trumpets and remembered and saved the people. The trumpets were a signal that the Israelites were entering battle against their enemies and a prayer for God to remember them. As long as God remembered them, justice would prevail and the righteous would not be forgotten. Is there anything that you are hoping for the Lord to remember? Do not despair but blow the trumpet of prayer as you engage in a battle for good. 

What lesson is God teaching me?

Vv. 2-8 The people needed to blow and hear the sound of the trumpets well in order to act in the proper manner. The same applies to hearing God’s Word. We must discern and hear God’s Word carefully from among the flood of messages we receive from the world in order to live righteously. 

Prayer

Lord, help me to hear the trumpet sound of the Word before I set out on the path in the wilderness today.
