Sihon and Og Subdued. . 1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. 7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon; 9 ( Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;) 10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. We have here another brave country delivered into the hand of Israel, that of Bashan; the conquest of Sihon is often mentioned together with that of Og, to the praise of God, the rather because in these Israel's triumphs began, Psalms 135:11 ; Psalms 136:19 ; Psalms 136:20 . See, I. How they got the mastery of Og, a very formidable prince, 1. Very strong, for he was of the remnant of the giants ( Deuteronomy 3:11 ; Deuteronomy 3:11 ); his personal strength was extraordinary, a monument of which was preserved by the Ammonites in his bedstead, which was shown as a rarity in their chief city. You might guess at his weight by the materials of his bedstead; it was iron, as if a bedstead of wood were too weak for him to trust to: and you might guess at his stature by the dimensions of it; it was nine cubits long and four cubits broad, which, supposing a cubit to be but half a yard (and some learned men have made it appear to be somewhat more), was four yards and a half long, and two yards broad; and if we allow his bedstead to be two cubits longer than himself, and that is as much as we need allow, he was three yards and a half high, double the stature of an ordinary man, and every way proportionable, yet they smote him, Deuteronomy 3:3 ; Deuteronomy 3:3 . Note, when God pleads his people's cause he can deal with giants as with grasshoppers. No man's might can secure him against the Almighty. The army of Og was very powerful, for he had the command of sixty fortified cities, besides the unwalled towns, Deuteronomy 3:5 ; Deuteronomy 3:5 . Yet all this was nothing before God's Israel, when they came with commission to destroy him. 2. He was very bold and daring: He came out against Israel to battle, Deuteronomy 3:1 ; Deuteronomy 3:1 . It was wonderful that he did not take warning by the ruin of Sihon, and send to desire conditions of peace; but he trusted to his own strength, and so was hardened to his destruction. Note, Those that are not awakened by the judgments of God upon others, but persist in their defiance of heaven, are ripening apace for the like judgments upon themselves, Jeremiah 3:8 . God bade Moses not fear him, Deuteronomy 3:2 ; Deuteronomy 3:2 . If Moses himself was so strong in faith as not to need the caution, yet it is probable that the people needed it, and for them these fresh assurances are designed; " I will deliver him into thy hand; not only deliver thee out of his hand, that he shall not be thy ruin, but deliver him into thy hand, that thou shalt be his ruin, and make him pay dearly for his attempt." He adds, Thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon, intimating that they ought to be encouraged by their former victory to trust in God for another victory, for he is God, and changeth not. II. How they got possession of Bashan, a very desirable country. They took all the cities ( Deuteronomy 3:4 ; Deuteronomy 3:4 ), and all the spoil of them, Deuteronomy 3:7 ; Deuteronomy 3:7 . They made them all their own, Deuteronomy 3:10 ; Deuteronomy 3:10 . So that now they had in their hands all that fruitful country which lay east of Jordan, from the river Arnon unto Hermon, Deuteronomy 3:8 ; Deuteronomy 3:8 . Their conquering and possessing these countries was intended, not only for the encouragement of Israel in the wars of Canaan, but for the satisfaction of Moses before his death. Since he must not live to see the completing of their victory and settlement, God thus gives him a specimen of it. Thus the Spirit is given to those that believe as the earnest of their inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-12-20" class="com-number"

본 단락에서는 이스라엘에게 또 하나의 훌륭한 땅이 주어지는 것을 볼 수 있으니, 바로 바산이다. 시혼의 정복과 옥의 정복은 하나님을 찬송하는 맥락에서 자주 함께 언급된다. 이는 이스라엘의 승전이 여기서 시작되었기 때문이다(시편 135:11; 136:19-20).
**I. 옥을 제압한 방법.** 옥은 매우 두려운 군주였다.
첫째, 그는 매우 강했다. 그는 거인족의 남은 자였으며(11절), 그의 개인적인 힘은 남달랐다. 암몬 사람들이 그의 침상을 보존하며 진귀한 것으로 전시했는데, 이는 그 크기로 그의 위용을 짐작하게 해 준다. 침상의 재료는 쇠였으니, 나무 침상으로는 그를 감당할 수 없었던 것이다. 그 크기는 길이가 아홉 규빗, 너비가 네 규빗이었다. 규빗을 반 야드로 계산하면(어떤 학자들은 이보다 약간 더 크다고 보는데), 길이는 약 4.5야드, 너비는 2야드에 해당한다. 침상이 본인보다 두 규빗 길다고 가정하면, 그의 신장은 약 3.5야드로 보통 사람의 두 배에 달하며 몸 전체의 비율도 그에 맞게 컸다. 그러나 그들은 그를 쳤다(3절). 하나님이 자기 백성의 소송을 맡으시면 거인도 메뚜기처럼 다루실 수 있다. 어떤 사람의 힘도 전능하신 하나님 앞에서 그를 보호할 수 없다. 옥의 군대도 강력했으니, 그는 성읍 예순 개에 더하여 성벽 없는 마을들도 다스렸다(5절). 그러나 하나님의 이스라엘이 멸할 명령을 받고 나올 때 이 모든 것은 하나님 앞에 아무것도 아니었다.
둘째, 그는 매우 대담하고 용감했다. 그는 이스라엘을 향해 싸우러 나왔다(1절). 시혼의 멸망에서 경계를 받고 평화 조약을 청하지 않은 것은 놀라운 일이다. 그러나 그는 자신의 힘을 믿었고, 이 때문에 오히려 멸망으로 굳어져 갔다. 다른 사람에게 내린 하나님의 심판에 깨어나지 않고 계속 하늘을 거역하는 자들은 그 동일한 심판을 자신에게 받아들일 준비를 서둘러 하는 것이다(예레미야 3:8). 하나님은 모세에게 두려워하지 말라고 하셨다(2절). 모세 자신은 이 권고가 필요하지 않을 만큼 믿음이 강했을지라도, 백성들에게는 필요했고 그들을 위해 이 새로운 확신이 주어졌다. "내가 그를 네 손에 넘기리니, 그가 네 멸망이 되게 하지 않고 오히려 네가 그의 멸망이 될 것이다." 하나님은 또 시혼에게 했던 대로 행하라고 덧붙이셨다. 이는 이전의 승리가 하나님을 신뢰하여 다음 승리를 얻게 하는 격려가 되어야 함을 가르쳐 준다. 하나님은 변치 않으시기 때문이다.
**II. 바산을 점령한 방법.** 바산은 매우 탐스러운 땅이었다. 그들은 모든 성읍을 취하고(4절), 그 노략물도 취했다(7절). 온 땅이 그들의 것이 되었다(10절). 이제 그들은 요단 동편의 비옥한 땅 전체, 아르논 강에서 헤르몬까지를 손에 넣었다(8절). 이 나라들을 정복하고 점령한 것은 이스라엘이 가나안 전쟁에서 용기를 얻게 하려는 목적도 있었지만, 모세가 죽기 전에 만족을 얻게 하려는 목적도 있었다. 그는 그 승리와 정착이 완성되는 것을 살아서 보지 못할 것이므로, 하나님은 이처럼 그에게 그 맛보기를 보여 주셨다. 이처럼 성령이 믿는 자들에게 기업의 보증으로 주어지니, 그것은 구속받은 기업이 완전히 얻어질 때까지이다.

신명기 3장에서 모세는 다음 사항들을 다룬다. 첫째, 바산 왕 옥을 정복하고 그 땅을 점령한 일(신명기 3:1-11). 둘째, 이 새로운 정복지를 두 지파 반에게 분배한 일(신명기 3:12-17), 그리고 그에 따른 조건과 제한(신명기 3:18-20). 셋째, 여호수아가 이미 영광스럽게 시작된 전쟁을 이어가도록 격려한 일(신명기 3:21-22). 넷째, 모세가 가나안 땅으로 건너가게 해 달라고 요청한 일(신명기 3:23-25)과 그 요청이 거절되고 대신 동등한 은혜가 주어진 일(신명기 3:26-29).

Allotment of the Conquered Lands. . 12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. 14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day. 15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward. 18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war. 19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ( for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; 20 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you. Having shown how this country which they were now in was conquered, in these verses he shows how it was settled upon the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, which we had the story of before, Numbers 32:1-42 Here is the rehearsal. 1. Moses specifies the particular parts of the country that were allotted to each tribe, especially the distribution of the lot to the half tribe of Manasseh, the subdividing of which tribe is observable. Joseph was divided into Ephraim and Manasseh; Manasseh was divided into one half on the one side Jordan and the other half on the other side: that on the east side Jordan was again divided into two great families, which had their several allotments: Jair, Deuteronomy 3:14 ; Deuteronomy 3:14 , Machir, Deuteronomy 3:15 ; Deuteronomy 3:15 . And perhaps Jacob's prediction of the smallness of that tribe was now accomplished in these divisions and subdivisions. Observe that Bashan is here called the land of the giants, because it had been in their possession, but Og was the last of them. These giants, it seems, had lost their country, and were rooted out of it sooner than any of their neighbours; for those who, presuming upon their strength and stature, had their hand against every man, had every man's hand against them, and went down slain to the pit, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. 2. He repeats the condition of the grant which they had already agreed to, Deuteronomy 3:18-20 ; Deuteronomy 3:18-20 . That they should send a strong detachment over Jordan to lead the van in the conquest of Canaan, who should not return to their families, at least not to settle (though for a time they might retire thither into winter quarters, at the end of a campaign), till they had seen their brethren in as full possession of their respective allotments as they themselves were now in of theirs. They must hereby be taught not to look at their own things only, but at the things of others, Philippians 2:4 . It ill becomes an Israelite to be selfish, and to prefer any private interest before the public welfare. When we are rest we should desire to see our brethren at rest too, and should be ready to do what we can towards it; for we are not born for ourselves, but are members one of another. A good man cannot rejoice much in the comforts of his family unless withal he sees peace upon Israel, Psalms 128:6 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-21-29" class="com-number"

이 단락에서는 앞에서 민수기 32장 전체에 걸쳐 기술된 내용이 반복된다. 이미 정복한 이 땅이 르우벤, 갓, 므낫세 반 지파에게 어떻게 분배되었는지를 보여 준다.
**1. 모세는 각 지파에 배분된 땅의 구체적인 부분을 명시한다.** 특히 므낫세 반 지파의 분배가 주목할 만하다. 요셉은 에브라임과 므낫세로 나뉘었고, 므낫세는 요단 한쪽과 반대쪽에 각각 절반씩 나뉘었다. 요단 동쪽의 반 지파는 야일과 마길이라는 두 큰 가족으로 다시 나뉘어 각기 분깃을 받았다(14-15절). 어쩌면 야곱이 그 지파의 수가 적을 것이라고 예언한 것이 이러한 거듭되는 분할로 이루어졌을 수도 있다. 바산은 여기서 거인의 땅이라고 불리는데, 이전에 그들이 차지했던 땅이었지만 옥이 그 마지막 사람이었기 때문이다. 이 거인들은 자신의 힘과 체구를 믿고 만인에게 손을 댔기 때문에, 결국 만인이 그들에게 손을 댔다. 그들은 살아 있는 땅에서 강자들 가운데 두려움의 대상이었으나, 쓰러져 구덩이로 내려갔다.
**2. 모세는 이미 합의된 분배의 조건을 반복한다(18-20절).** 그들은 가나안 정복의 선봉에 서는 강한 부대를 요단 너머로 보내야 했다. 이 부대는 자신들의 형제들도 그들처럼 자기 땅을 완전히 차지하는 것을 볼 때까지 가족에게로 정착하여 돌아올 수 없었다. 이를 통해 그들은 자신들의 일만 돌아보지 않고 다른 사람들의 일도 돌아보는 것을 배워야 했다(빌립보서 2:4). 이스라엘 사람이 이기적으로 어떤 사사로운 이익을 공동의 복지보다 앞세우는 것은 적절하지 않다. 우리가 평안을 누릴 때 우리 형제들도 평안을 누리기를 바라야 하며, 그것을 위해 할 수 있는 일을 해야 한다. 우리는 자신을 위해서만 태어난 것이 아니라 서로가 서로의 지체이기 때문이다. 선한 사람은 온 이스라엘에 평화가 있는 것을 보지 않는 한 가족의 위안을 크게 기뻐할 수 없다(시편 128:6).

Joshua Named as Moses's Successor. . 21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. 22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you. 23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, 24 O Lord G OD , thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? 25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. 27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. 29 So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor. Here is I. The encouragement which Moses gave to Joshua, who was to succeed him in the government, Deuteronomy 3:21 ; Deuteronomy 3:22 . He commanded him not to fear. This those that are aged and experienced in the service of God should do all they can to strengthen the hands of those that are young, and setting out in religion. Two things he would have him consider for his encouragement:-- 1. What God has done. Joshua had seen what a total defeat God had given by the forces of Israel to these two kings, and thence he might easily infer, so shall the Lord do to all the rest of the kingdoms upon which we are to make war. He must not only infer thence that thus the Lord can do with them all, for his arm is not shortened, but thus he will do, for his purpose is not changed; he that has begun will finish; as for God, his work is perfect. Joshua had seen it with his own eyes. And the more we have seen of the instances of divine wisdom, power, and goodness, the more inexcusable we are if we fear what flesh can do unto us. 2. What God had promised. The Lord your God he shall fight for you; and that cause cannot but be victorious which the Lord of hosts fights for. If God be for us, who can be against us so as to prevail? We reproach our leader if we follow him trembling. II. The prayer which Moses made for himself, and the answer which God gave to that prayer. 1. His prayer was that, if it were God's will, he might go before Israel over Jordan into Canaan. At that time, when he had been encouraging Joshua to fight Israel's battles, taking it for granted that he must be their leader, he was touched with an earnest desire to go over himself, which expresses itself not in any passionate and impatient complaints, or reflections upon the sentence he was under, but in humble prayers to God for a gracious reversing of it. I besought the Lord. Note, We should never allow any desires in our hearts which we cannot in faith offer up to God by prayer; and what desires are innocent, let them be presented to God. We have not because we ask not. Observe, (1.) What he pleads here. Two things:-- [1.] The great experience which he had had of God's goodness to him in what he had done for Israel: " Thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness. Lord, perfect what thou hast begun. Thou hast given me to see thy glory in the conquest of these two kings, and the sight has affected me with wonder and thankfulness. O let me see more of the outgoings of my God, my King! This great work, no doubt, will be carried on and completed; let me have the satisfaction of seeing it." Note, the more we see of God's glory in his works the more we shall desire to see. The works of the Lord are great, and therefore are sought out more and more of all those that have pleasure therein. [2.] The good impressions that had been made upon his heart by what he had seen: For what God is there in heaven or earth that can do according to thy works? The more we are affected with what we have seen of God, of his wisdom, power, and goodness, the better we are prepared for further discoveries. Those shall see the works of God that admire him in them. Moses had thus expressed himself concerning God and his works long before ( Exodus 15:11 ), and he still continues of the same mind, that there are no works worthy to be compared with God's works, Psalms 86:8 . (2.) What he begs: I pray thee let me go over, Deuteronomy 3:25 ; Deuteronomy 3:25 . God had said he should not go over; yet he prays that he might, not knowing but that the threatening was conditional, for it was not ratified with an oath, as that concerning the people was, that they should not enter. Thus Hezekiah prayed for his own life, and David for the life of his child, after both had ben expressly threatened; and the former prevailed, though the latter did not. Moses remembered the time when he had by prayer prevailed with God to recede from the declarations which he had made of his wrath against Israel, Exodus 32:14 . And why might he not hope in like manner to prevail for himself? Let me go over and see the good land. Not, "Let me go over and be a prince and a ruler there;" he seeks not his own honour, is content to resign the government to Joshua; but, "Let me go to be a spectator of thy kindness to Israel, to see what I believe concerning the goodness of the land of promise." How pathetically does he speak of Canaan, that good land, that goodly mountain! Note, Those may hope to obtain and enjoy God's favours that know how to value them. What he means by that goodly mountain we may learn from Psalms 78:54 , where it is said of God's Israel that he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain which his right hand had purchased, where it is plainly to be understood of the whole land of Canaan, yet with an eye to the sanctuary, the glory of it. 2. God's answer to this prayer had in it a mixture of mercy and judgment, that he might sing unto God of both. (1.) There was judgment in the denial of his request, and that in something of anger too: The Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, Deuteronomy 3:26 ; Deuteronomy 3:26 . God not only sees sin in his people, but is much displeased with it; and even those that are delivered from the wrath to come may yet lie under the tokens of God's wrath in this world, and may be denied some particular favour which their hearts are much set upon. God is a gracious, tender, loving Father; but he is angry with his children when they do amiss, and denies them many a thing that they desire and are ready to cry for. But how was he wroth with Moses for the sake of Israel? Either, [1.] For that sin which they provoked him to; see Psalms 106:32 ; Psalms 106:33 . Or, [2.] The removal of Moses at that time, when he could so ill be spared, was a rebuke to all Israel, and a punishment of their sin. Or, [3.] It was for their sakes, that it might be a warning to them to take heed of offending God by passionate and unbelieving speeches at any time, after the similitude of his transgression; for, if this were done to such a green tree, what should be done to the dry? He acknowledges that God would not hear him. God had often heard him for Israel, yet he would not hear him for himself. It was the prerogative of Christ, the great Intercessor, to be heard always; yet of him his enemies said, He saved others, himself he could not save, which the Jews would not have upbraided him with had they considered that Moses, their great prophet, prevailed for others, but for himself he could not prevail. Though Moses, being one of the wrestling seed of Jacob, did not seek in vain, yet he had not the thing itself which he sought for. God may accept our prayers, and yet not grant us the very thing we pray for. (2.) Here is mercy mixed with this wrath in several things:-- [1.] God quieted the spirit of Moses under the decree that had gone forth by that word ( Deuteronomy 3:26 ; Deuteronomy 3:26 ), Let it suffice thee. With this word, no doubt, a divine power went to reconcile Moses to the will of God, and to bring him to acquiesce in it. If God does not by his providence give us what we desire, yet, if by his grace he makes us content without it, it comes much to one. " Let it suffice thee to have God for they father, and heaven for thy portion, though thou hast not every thing thou wouldest have in this world. Be satisfied with this, God is all-sufficient. " [2.] He put an honour upon his prayer in directing him not to insist upon this request: Speak no more to me of this matter. It intimates that what God does not think fit to grant we should not think fit to ask, and that God takes such a pleasure in the prayer of the upright that it is no pleasure to him, no, not in any particular instance, to give a denial to it. [3.] He promised him a sight of Canaan from the top of Pisgah, Deuteronomy 3:27 ; Deuteronomy 3:27 . Though he should not have the possession of it, he should have the prospect of it; not to tantalize him, but such a sight of it as would yield him true satisfaction, and would enable him to form a very clear and pleasing idea of that promised land. Probably Moses had not only his sight preserved for other purposes, but greatly enlarged for this purpose; for, if he had not had such a sight of it as others could not have from the same place, it would have been no particular favour to Moses, nor the matter of a promise. Even great believers, in this present state, see heaven but at a distance. [4.] He provided him a successor, one who should support the honour of Moses and carry on and complete that glorious work which the heart of Moses was so much upon, the bringing of Israel to Canaan, and settling them there ( Deuteronomy 3:28 ; Deuteronomy 3:28 ): Charge Joshua and encourage him in this work. Those to whom God gives a charge, he will be sure to give encouragement to. And it is a comfort to the church's friends (when they are dying and going off) to see God's work likely to be carried on by other hands, when they are silent in the dust. return to ' Top of Page ' Deuteronomy Deu 2 Deuteronomy Deu Deuteronomy Deu 4 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

**I. 모세가 여호수아에게 준 격려(21-22절).** 모세는 자신의 후계자로 지도자 직분을 이어받을 여호수아에게 두려워하지 말 것을 명했다. 나이 들고 하나님의 섬김에 경험이 있는 자들은 신앙 안에서 젊고 시작하는 자들의 손을 힘 있게 해 주는 일에 최선을 다해야 한다. 그는 두 가지를 격려의 근거로 제시했다.
첫째, 하나님께서 행하신 일이다. 여호수아는 하나님이 이스라엘의 군대로 이 두 왕에게 완전한 패배를 주신 것을 보았다. 거기서 그는 쉽게 추론할 수 있었다. "주께서 우리가 전쟁을 벌여야 할 나머지 왕국들 모두에게도 그렇게 행하실 것이다." 그는 하나님께서 그렇게 하실 수 있다고만 추론하는 것이 아니라 그렇게 하실 것이라고 추론해야 했다. 하나님의 팔은 짧아지지 않았고, 그분의 뜻도 변하지 않았기 때문이다. 시작하신 분이 완성하실 것이다. 여호수아는 이것을 자기 눈으로 직접 보았다. 하나님의 지혜와 능력과 선하심의 증거를 더 많이 볼수록, 육체가 우리에게 어떻게 할 수 있을지 두려워한다면 더욱 용서받을 수 없는 일이다.
둘째, 하나님께서 약속하신 것이다. "여호와 너희 하나님이 너희를 위하여 싸우신다." 만군의 여호와께서 싸워 주시는 대의는 반드시 승리할 수밖에 없다. 하나님이 우리 편이시면 누가 우리를 대적하여 이길 수 있겠는가? 떨면서 그분을 따른다면 우리 대장을 욕되게 하는 것이다.
**II. 모세가 자신을 위해 드린 기도와 하나님이 그 기도에 답하신 것(23-29절).**
**1. 모세의 기도.** 하나님의 뜻이라면 자신이 이스라엘보다 앞서 요단을 건너 가나안으로 가게 해 달라는 기도였다. 여호수아가 그들의 지도자가 될 것을 당연하게 여기고 이스라엘의 전쟁터에서 싸우도록 그를 격려하던 바로 그 때, 그는 자신이 직접 건너가고 싶다는 간절한 소원을 느꼈다. 이 소원은 어떤 격정적이고 참을 수 없는 불평이나 내려진 판결에 대한 원망으로 표현된 것이 아니라, 은혜로운 번복을 위한 겸손한 기도로 표현되었다. "내가 여호와께 간구하였다." 우리는 믿음으로 하나님께 기도로 올려드릴 수 없는 어떤 소원도 마음에 품어서는 안 된다. 무고한 소원이라면 하나님께 아뢰어야 한다. 우리가 받지 못하는 것은 구하지 않기 때문이다.
그가 여기서 호소하는 두 가지를 살펴보자. (1) 하나님이 이스라엘을 위해 행하신 일에서 체험한 하나님의 선하심이다. "주께서 주의 종에게 주의 크심과 주의 강한 손을 보이기 시작하셨습니다." 주님, 시작하신 것을 완성해 주십시오. 주께서 이 두 왕의 정복에서 주의 영광을 내가 보게 하셨고, 그 광경이 나에게 경이와 감사를 불러일으켰습니다. 오, 내 하나님, 내 왕이신 분의 더 많은 역사를 보게 해 주십시오! 이 위대한 사역이 계속되어 완성될 것은 의심할 여지가 없습니다. 그것을 보는 만족을 내가 누리게 해 주십시오. 우리가 하나님의 역사에서 하나님의 영광을 더 많이 볼수록 더 많이 보고 싶어진다. 여호와의 역사는 위대하며, 그것을 즐거워하는 모든 사람이 더욱더 연구한다.
(2) 본 것이 그의 마음에 좋은 인상을 남긴 것이다. "하늘이나 땅에 주께서 행하신 것처럼 행하실 수 있는 신이 어디 있겠습니까?" 우리가 보아온 하나님, 그분의 지혜와 능력과 선하심에 대해 더 많이 영향을 받을수록 더 많은 계시를 받을 준비가 더 잘 된다. 하나님의 역사에서 그분을 경이롭게 여기는 자들이 하나님의 역사를 보게 될 것이다. 모세는 이미 오래전에 이와 같이 하나님과 그분의 역사에 대해 표현한 바 있었고(출애굽기 15:11), 그는 여전히 같은 생각을 유지하고 있었다. 즉, 하나님의 역사와 비교될 만한 역사는 없다는 것이다(시편 86:8).
그가 구한 것은 이것이다. "원하건대 나를 건너가게 하사"(25절). 하나님은 그가 건너가지 못할 것이라고 하셨다. 그럼에도 그는 그렇게 해 달라고 기도했으니, 그 위협이 조건적인 것일 수 있다고 생각했기 때문이다. 그 위협은 맹세로 확정된 것이 아니었는데, 백성들에 대한 위협은 맹세로 확정되었던 것과 달랐다. 히스기야는 자기 생명을 위해, 다윗은 자기 아들의 생명을 위해 이미 명시적으로 위협을 받은 후에도 기도했다. 전자는 응답을 받았지만 후자는 그렇지 않았다. 모세는 하나님이 이스라엘에 대한 진노의 선언에서 물러나도록 기도로 이겨낸 때를 기억했다(출애굽기 32:14). 그렇다면 자신을 위해서도 같은 방식으로 이길 수 있지 않을까 기대하는 것이 어찌 무리이겠는가? "원하건대 나를 건너가게 하사 저 아름다운 땅을 보게 하소서." "나를 건너가게 하사 거기서 왕자나 통치자가 되게 하소서"가 아니다. 그는 자신의 영예를 구하지 않았고, 여호수아에게 기꺼이 정권을 넘겼다. 다만 "이스라엘에 대한 주의 자비의 목격자가 되게 하소서, 약속의 땅의 선함에 대해 내가 믿는 것을 보게 하소서"라고 했다. 그 아름다운 땅, 그 좋은 산을 얼마나 간절하게 말하는가! 하나님의 은혜를 소중히 여길 줄 아는 자들이 그것을 얻고 누릴 수 있다고 기대할 수 있다. 그가 말하는 "저 좋은 산"이 무엇을 의미하는지는 시편 78:54에서 알 수 있다. 거기서 하나님의 이스라엘에 대해 "그분이 그들을 그분의 성소의 경계, 곧 그분의 오른손이 취하신 이 산까지 인도하셨다"고 했는데, 이것은 성소에 눈을 두고 있으면서도 분명히 가나안 전체로 이해되어야 한다.
**2. 이 기도에 대한 하나님의 대답.** 긍휼과 심판이 섞여 있어서, 모세가 두 가지 모두에 대해 하나님을 노래할 수 있게 되었다.
(1) 그의 요청 거절에는 심판이 있었고, 거기에는 노하심도 섞여 있었다. "여호와께서 너희 때문에 나에게 진노하사"(26절). 하나님은 자기 백성에게서 죄를 보실 뿐만 아니라 매우 불쾌하게 여기신다. 진노에서 구원받은 자들도 이 세상에서 하나님의 진노의 표시 아래 있을 수 있고, 마음이 매우 원하는 특별한 은혜를 거절당할 수 있다. 하나님은 은혜롭고, 자애롭고, 사랑이 넘치는 아버지이시다. 그러나 그분은 자녀들이 잘못할 때 그들에게 노하시고, 그들이 원하고 울기까지 하는 많은 것을 거절하신다. 그러나 어떻게 하나님이 이스라엘 때문에 모세에게 진노하셨는가? 혹은 (1) 이스라엘이 모세를 자극하여 범하게 한 그 죄 때문이다(시편 106:32-33). 혹은 (2) 그 때 모세가 그토록 없어서는 안 될 때 떠나는 것이 온 이스라엘에 대한 책망이었으며 그들의 죄에 대한 징벌이었다. 혹은 (3) 그들을 위한 것이었으니, 그것이 그들에게 경고가 되어 언제든지 모세의 범죄와 같이 격렬하고 믿음 없는 말로 하나님을 범하지 않도록 하기 위함이었다. 이런 녹색 나무에 이런 일이 행해진다면 마른 나무에는 무슨 일이 행해지겠는가? 모세는 하나님이 자신의 말을 듣지 않으셨음을 인정한다. 하나님은 이스라엘을 위해 그의 말을 자주 들으셨으나, 그 자신을 위해서는 들으려 하지 않으셨다. 위대한 중보자이신 그리스도만이 항상 들으심의 특권을 가지셨다. 그러나 그분에 대해 원수들은 이렇게 말했다. "남은 구원하였으되 자기는 구원할 수 없다"고. 이것이 모순으로 보이지 않도록 유대인들이 생각했더라면 좋았을 것이다. 이스라엘과 씨름하는 씨의 위대한 선지자 모세가 다른 사람들을 위해서는 이겼지만 자신을 위해서는 이기지 못했다는 것을. 하나님은 우리의 기도를 받으실 수 있으면서도 우리가 구한 바로 그 것을 허락하지 않으실 수 있다.
(2) 이 진노에 몇 가지 긍휼이 섞여 있다. [1] 하나님은 이미 내려진 작정 아래서 모세의 심령을 이 말씀으로 조용하게 하셨다(26절). "네게 족하다." 이 말씀과 함께 의심할 여지 없이 신적인 능력이 모세로 하여금 하나님의 뜻에 화목하게 하고 그 안에 거하게 하는 힘이 임했다. 하나님이 그의 섭리로 우리가 원하는 것을 주지 않으시더라도, 그분의 은혜로 우리가 그것 없이도 만족하게 해 주신다면 결국 같은 것이다. "네게 족하니, 네 아버지이신 하나님, 네 분깃이신 천국을 가지면 족하다. 비록 이 세상에서 네가 원하는 모든 것을 가지지 못하더라도 이것으로 만족하라. 전능하신 하나님이 모든 것에 족하시다."
[2] 하나님은 이 요청을 더 이상 구하지 말라고 명하심으로써 그의 기도에 영예를 더하셨다. "이 일로 다시는 내게 말하지 말라." 이는 하나님이 허락하시기에 적절하지 않다고 여기시는 것은 우리가 구하기에도 적절하지 않다는 것을, 그리고 하나님이 의인의 기도에서 그토록 즐거움을 취하시므로 어떤 특정한 경우에도 그것을 거절하는 것을 즐거워하지 않으신다는 것을 암시한다.
[3] 하나님은 비스가 꼭대기에서 가나안 땅을 바라보는 것을 허락하셨다(27절). 그가 그 땅의 소유를 갖지는 못하더라도 전망은 가지게 될 것이었다. 그를 괴롭히기 위함이 아니라, 그에게 진정한 만족을 주고 약속의 땅에 대해 매우 분명하고 즐거운 관념을 가질 수 있게 하는 전망을. 아마 모세는 다른 목적을 위해서뿐만 아니라 이 목적을 위해서도 시력이 보존되고 크게 강화되었을 것이다. 만약 그가 같은 장소에서 다른 사람들보다 더 나은 전망을 갖지 못했다면, 그것은 모세에게 특별한 은혜가 아니었을 것이며 약속의 대상도 아니었을 것이다. 위대한 믿음의 사람들도 이 현재 상태에서 천국을 멀리서 바라볼 뿐이다.
[4] 하나님은 그에게 후계자를 준비해 주셨으니, 이 사람이 모세의 명예를 이어받아 모세의 마음이 그토록 간절히 원하던 그 영광스러운 사역, 곧 이스라엘을 가나안으로 인도하여 거기 정착하게 하는 일을 계속하고 완성할 것이다(28절). "여호수아에게 명하여 그를 이 일에 격려하고 강하게 하라." 하나님이 사명을 주시는 자들에게는 반드시 격려도 주신다. 죽어가며 세상을 떠나는 교회의 친구들에게는 하나님의 역사가 다른 손에 의해 계속될 것 같음을 볼 때 위로가 된다.
