读经笔记 12 - Genesis 3: 8~14

创3:8 天起了凉风，耶和华神在园中行走。那人和他妻子听见神的声音，就藏在园里的树木中，躲避耶和华神的面。

They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

创3:9 耶和华神呼唤那人，对他说，你在哪里。

Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

创3:10 他说，我在园中听见你的声音，我就害怕。因为我赤身露体，我便藏了。

He said, "I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself."

创3:11 耶和华说，谁告诉你赤身露体呢？莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗？

And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

创3:12 那人说，你所赐给我，与我同居的女人，她把那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。

The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate."

创3:13 耶和华神对女人说，你作的是什么事呢？女人说，那蛇引诱我，我就吃了。

Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

创3:14 耶和华神对蛇说，你既作了这事，就必受咒诅，比一切的牲畜野兽更甚。你必用肚子行走，终身吃土。

The Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life;

deceived: 欺骗，在KJV版中用的是beguiled， 是诱骗的意思，更为贴切。

这一小段圣经中能看到几个点：

1. 当人违背神的旨意以后，神与人之间的和谐关系被破坏了，这时人选择的是逃避，而神选择的是主动去找人。若不是神主动去寻找人，没有一个人能找到他。若是神不想见人，没有人能够有能与神交流。这是基督信仰和其他宗教非常不同的一个地方。

2. 人在犯错以后，本能的反应就是遮盖，遮盖不住了，就会先把责任推给别人。亚当是如此，夏娃也是如此，都不愿意先承认自己的错误，这是人的通病。

3.  神在面对人犯错的时候，不是直接指责，他其实非常清楚发生了什么，当还是用问题引导人能自己承认错误。但是神对待撒旦的时候就不给辩驳的机会，而是直接实施惩罚。神对待不同的对象用不同的方式处理，这一点要深刻学习。
