I was talking last time about the concept of election or choice, God's choice of Israel, Israel as the chosen one, which occurs for the first time in the Book of Deuteronomy.
我上节课提到了“选择“这一概念,上帝选择了以色列,以色列成为选民,这一概念第一次出现在《申命记》中。
A further theme in Deuteronomy is the fact that the covenant concept entails the idea that each generation of Israelites understand itself as having been bound with God in the original covenant.
申命记一个更深的主题是事实上契约,传承了一种理念,即每一代以色列人都认为他们,通过最初的契约与上帝紧密相连。
So there are two components integral and inseparable in the concept of holiness: initial assignment of holy status by God and establishment of rules to preserve that holy status, and secondly, actualization of that holiness by humans through the observance of the commandments and rules that mark that thing off as holy.
因此在神圣这一概念中,有两个组成部分,一个是上帝最初形成的神圣状态,和为了保持这个神圣状态而建立的规则制度,第二个是,人们通过遵守戒律,而将神圣现实化到生活中,将神圣的事物标记出来。
