耶利米書 1:16-17
現代文譯本(2019)
16 我要懲罰我子民所犯一切的罪惡;他們離棄了我,獻祭給別的神明,拜自己的手所造的偶像。
17 耶利米呀,你要準備好,把我命令你說的一切話告訴他們。你不要怕他們;不然,我會使你在他們面前更加膽怯。
ESV
16 And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands.
17 But you, dress yourself for work; arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them.
《聖經背景注釋》
燒香的用意 所燒的香是好幾種香料混合的調劑,燒起來十分好聞。燒香與獻祭同用(見四十四18的注釋),在古代近東各處和以色列都很普遍。乳香(白色的樹木膠脂)是比較昂貴的香料之一,來自阿拉伯半島南部的示巴。考古學家在以色列各處挖掘到了很多不同種類的香壇,亞拉得有兩個出土,米克納/以革倫則有十個。
