出埃及记 9章8节 到 9章8节 背景资料 上一笔 下一笔

     * Take to.
       This was a significant command; not only referring to the
       fiery furnace, which was a type of the slavery of the
       Israelites, but to a cruel rite common among the Egyptians.
       They had several cities styled Typhonian, in which at
       particular seasons they sacrificed men, who were burnt alive;
       and the ashes of the victim were scattered upwards in the
       air, with the view, probably, that where any atom of dust was
       carried, a blessing was entailed.  The like, therefore, was
       done by Moses, though with a different intention, and more
       certain effect.  See Bryant, pp. 93-106.
