(续上)「凡他们所需用的……每日供给他们,不得有误」(以斯拉记 6:9)——古列捐助圣殿,岂不显出他敬畏上天?拉比以撒 对 拉夫卡哈纳 说:夫子,可从你自己的担子里、就是你所引的经文里驳倒它,因下一节接着说:「好叫他们献馨香的祭给天上的神,又为王和王众子的寿命祈祷」(以斯拉记 6:10)——可见古列这样做只为自己,好叫犹太人为他和他的儿子献祭祈祷。

「凡他们所需用的:公牛犊、公绵羊、绵羊羔,要献给天上的神为燔祭;并所用的麦子、盐、酒、油,都要照耶路撒冷祭司的话,每日供给他们,不得有误」(以斯拉记 6:9)?
“And that which they need, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail” (Ezra 6:9)?

古列对圣殿的捐助,岂不是显明了他对上天的敬畏吗?
Doesn’t Cyrus’ contribution to the Temple demonstrate his fear of Heaven?

拉比以撒 对 拉夫卡哈纳 说:我的老师,可以从你自己的担子里,就是从你自己所引的经文里,引出反驳,因为下一节接着说:「好叫他们献馨香的祭给天上的神,又为王和王众子的寿命祈祷」(以斯拉记 6:10)。
Rabbi Yitzḥak said to Rav Kahana: My teacher, a refutation can be brought from your own burden, from the text you yourself cited, as the next verse continues: “That they may sacrifice offerings of sweet savor to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons” (Ezra 6:10).

这显明古列这样做只是为了他自己的益处,好叫犹太人为他和他的儿子们献祭、祈祷。
This shows that Cyrus did this solely for his own benefit, so that the Jews would sacrifice offerings and pray for him and his sons.
