Moses and the Striking Rock 

沒有自動替代文字。






Exodus 17:5-6 King James Version (KJV)

And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
上主回答梅瑟說:「你到百姓面前去,帶上幾個以色列長老,手中拿著你擊打尼羅河的棍杖去!
6看,我要在你面前站在曷勒布那裡的磐石上,你擊打磐石,就有水流出來,給百姓喝。」梅瑟就在以色列的長老眼前照樣作了。

「你拿上棍杖,然後你和你的兄弟亞郎召集會眾,當著他們眼前對這磐石發命,叫磐石流水。這樣你便可使水由磐石中給他們流出,給會眾和他們的牲畜喝。」
9梅瑟就照上主吩咐他的,由上主面前拿了棍杖。

Numbers 20:8 King James Version (KJV)

Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

在《1946年》一書,將Vintage Books翻譯成"古籍出版社",這可能是"望字生義",用中國經驗度美國出版業。
Vintage Books 固然出版線之一是"古典/經典",然而它主要是平裝本的書:
