今天和接下來的幾天，我們要來談在以色列境內的加利利海。這片海大約是一個湖泊的大小──長21公里，寬11公里，深度約在24到60公尺之間。 　加利利海有幾個不同的名稱。在舊約聖經中，它有時候被稱為基乃勒特湖，而在新約聖經裡，它也稱為提比哩亞海或是革尼撒勒湖。 　在今天閱讀的經文中，上帝告訴摩西迦南地的地界，這是上帝應許要賜給祂的子民以色列人的土地，第11節說：「然後往南到亞延東邊的利比拉，再到加利利湖東岸的山丘。」 　舊約和新約聖經都談到了加利利海，而加利利海今天仍然存在，這個事實幫助我們知道聖經是真實的。今天就閱讀聖經，你可以倚靠它而成為忠實的人。 －JK 「他一切的作為都信實公正。他的誡命確實可靠。」 詩篇111:7 禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢賜下祢的話語──聖經。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

Sea of Galilee (1)
Bible Reading: Numbers 34:1-12
Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Today and for the next few days we will talk about the Sea of Galilee, located in Israel. This sea is about the size of a lake — 13 miles long and 7 miles wide. The Sea of Galilee is from 80 feet to 200 feet deep. 　The Sea of Galilee is called by several different names. In the Old Testament it is sometimes called Lake Kinneret. In the New Testament it is also called the Sea of Tiberias and Lake Gennesaret. 　In our Bible Reading today, God told Moses the boundaries of the land of Canaan. This was the land that God had promised to give to His people, the Israelites. Verse 11a says, “From Shepham the border will go east of Ain to Riblah. The border will continue along the hills by Lake Galilee.” 　Both the Old and New Testaments talk about the Sea of Galilee. And the Sea of Galilee still exists today. These facts help us to know that the Bible is true. Read the Bible today. You can depend on it to be true. —JK “Everything he does is good and fair. All his commands can be trusted.” Psalm 111:7a PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for Your Word, the Bible. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
