“‘ Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.

“‘ “Later, I was passing by again. I looked at you. I saw that you were old enough for love. So I married you and took good care of you. I covered your naked body. I made a firm promise to you. I entered into a covenant with you. And you became mine,” announces the Lord and King.

“ When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, and you became mine.

And when I passed by again, I saw that you were old enough for love. So I wrapped my cloak around you to cover your nakedness and declared my marriage vows. I made a covenant with you, says the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.

“‘ Then I passed by you and saw you, and you were indeed at the age for love. So I spread the edge of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged myself to you, entered into a covenant with you— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD— and you became mine.

“ Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My garment over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine,” declares the Lord God.

“ When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.

曰、爾為誰。曰、爾婢路得、請以裾覆我、蓋爾戚屬、得贖我產。

我視爾為寶、舉爾為尊、加爾以恩寵、因欲援爾生命、故使異邦鄰國敗亡。

俾我告耶路撒冷人、宣播其言、曰、我憶在昔、邦國肇造、爾行於野、無人耕種之地、當時我眷愛爾、若納聘之幼女。以色列族仍成聖之民、以奉事我、若土產之初實、我頒斯詔、凡吞噬斯民、獲罪於我者、必遭災害。

我所行於埃及民者、爾亦目擊、譬諸大鷹、負雛於翼、使爾眾歸我。宇內屬我、爾果聽我言、守我約、則於列國中、我必以爾為寶、亦為祭司之國、成聖之民、役事於我、爾以此言告於以色列族。摩西乃往屬民長老、以耶和華所命告之。眾論僉同、對曰、耶和華所諭、敢弗奉行、摩西乃以民言覆於耶和華、耶和華曰、我乘密雲、臨格爾上、我與爾言、俾民聽聞、而篤信爾、歷久弗渝。

爾上帝耶和華、於天下億兆中、特遴選爾、以爾為寶、成聖之民、役事上帝、爾較凡民、其數維寡、耶和華愛爾擇爾、非為爾曹眾多也、乃為疇昔發誓、許爾祖宗、亦為悅爾、故施其大能、導爾出埃及、拯爾於法老、脫爾於賤役、以踐其前言。

乃基督之死、則為我罪人、上帝之愛益彰、

求爾憶念爾僕。亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列、昔爾指己而誓、必熾昌其後、如天星之眾多、錫以所言之地、俾為永業。

則爾之上帝耶和華、甚為仁慈、必不棄爾、翦滅爾、與爾祖所立之盟約、亦不忘之。

我過時、見爾染血、幾遭蹂躪、則賜爾生、染血之時、我賜爾生。

耶和華既歡然、以爾為民、必不汝遐棄、以尊崇己名。

爾當告之云、主耶和華曰、越在疇昔、我顯現於埃及、遴選以色列族雅各家、與之盟誓、曰、我耶和華、為爾之上帝、既立盟誓、導爾祖出埃及、至產乳與蜜之地、其地為列國所羨美、我素所選者、

耶和華諭摩西曰、爾攜亞倫、拿答、亞庇戶、同以色列長老七十人、登山遙立拜我。惟爾可近我耶和華、其餘及民、皆不可近。摩西以耶和華所諭命令法度、遍告億兆、同聲對曰、耶和華所諭、我必遵行。摩西錄耶和華所命、夙興、築壇山下、立十二柱、循以色列族十二支派。遣以色列族少者、獻燔祭、亦獻牛為酬恩之祭、奉事耶和華。摩西取血半盛於盂、半灑於壇、以盟約之詞、誦於民聽。僉曰、耶和華所諭、我必遵行。摩西以血灑民曰、此耶和華諭爾之約之血、○

以色列族孩提之時、我已愛之、視之若子、召之出埃及、

昔我眷顧亞伯拉罕、簡其後裔、以色列族雅各家、為我臣僕。自地極天涯、召之以至、曰、我簡爾為僕、不汝遐棄。

選民曰、耶和華自昔、眷顧以色列族、矜憫無涯、恩膏甚溥、我念此而頌美焉。蓋耶和華以斯民為赤子、不敢違逆、故耶和華為其救主。民遭患難、主懷憂戚、自天遣使、以拯其災、特加眷愛、以贖其身、自昔迄今、扶翼之者屢矣。

斯時我不使我民有野獸飛鳥昆蟲之害、亦不使斯邦有弓刃戰鬥之虞、民得安居。我必施仁義、矜恤為懷、以聘爾眾、永以為好、若聘妻室、言出惟行、俾知我乃耶和華。

民曰、昔耶和華顯現示我曰、我永愛爾、施爾以恆忍。

昔我佑厥祖導出埃及、與之立約為彼所爽、我擯之弗顧、今復立約、必不若是。

不第此、利百加氏、從我祖以撒而懷孕、子未生善惡未形、而上帝選人之旨不移、其選之也、非由所行、乃由所召、諭利百加氏曰、長子必服幼子、如經云、吾愛雅各、不愛以掃、

耶和華曰、我眷愛爾、爾曰、眷愛余躬、何以為徵、耶和華曰、以掃為雅各之兄、我愛雅各、
