耶路撒冷

《The first “Jerusalem”》《聖經第一次提及的耶路撒冷》
※Abraham in Jerusalem?
Centuries before King David moved the capital of the Kingdom of Israel to Jerusalem, a strange episode is recorded in Genesis 14. On his way back home from a major battle with the kings of the east, Abraham is blessed by King Melchizedek of Salem.
在大衛王將以色列王國的首都遷至耶路撒冷之前的幾個世紀,在創世紀14章記載一個奇妙的事件,當亞伯蘭戰勝四王回來的途中,撒冷王麥基洗德出來迎接,並祝福亞伯蘭。
Genesis 14:18又有撒冷王麥基洗德帶著餅和酒出來迎接;他是至高神的祭司。
18 And Melchizedek king of Salemヾ brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
שָׁלֵ֔ם :(8004) שָׁלֵם
ヾשׁלם shâlêm shaw-lame
peaceful; Shalem, an early name of Jerusalem
Salem = "peace"
1-the place of which Melchizedek was king
a)-most Jewish commentators affirm that it is the same as Jerusalem
~
The Hebrew name Shalem (שלם) ヾis an abbreviated form of the word Yerushalem (ירושלם)ゝ, making this the first time Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible.
「撒冷」是「耶路撒冷」的縮寫,這是聖經最早提到「耶路撒冷」。
ירוּשָׁלִַ֛ם : (3389) יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם
ירוּשׁלים ירוּשׁלם ゝye rûshâlaim ye rûshâlayim yer-oo-shaw-lah-im, yer-oo-shaw-lah-yim
Jerusalem = "teaching of peace"
1-the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split
※A king and a priest
*In Genesis 14:18, “King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High.”
Genesis 14:18又有撒冷王麥基洗德帶著餅和酒出來迎接;他是至高神的祭司。
This peculiar story, when read in Hebrew, becomes much clearer.
這節特殊的聖經故事,若以希伯來文來看,就比較容易明瞭。
*The name Melchizedek means “my king is righteousness” which perfectly captures the twofold identity of this mysterious figure. He is both the political ruler, Melech, of Salem (“king”) and the righteous high priest of ゞEl Elyon (“God Most High”) one of the oldest names of the Lord of Israel.
「麥基洗德」意即「我的公義王」:ⓐ是撒冷的統治者,又ⓑ是上帝公義的祭司。
וּמַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙ : מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק :(4442) :
מלכּי־צדק malkı̂y - tsedeq mal-kee-tseh-dek
Melchizedek = "my king is Sedek" 公義王
1. ⓐking of Salem and ⓑpriest of the Most High God to whom Abram paid tithe after the battle he fought to free Lot;
“the order of Melchizedek” the order of the priesthood to which Christ belongs
與基督同等的祭司。
