創世記(Genesis) 21:8 斷奶

• 斷奶是開始慶祝的日子，也是吃豐盛筵席的日子；

創世記(Genesis) 21:8 孩子漸長，就斷了奶。以撒斷奶的日子，亞伯拉罕設擺豐盛的筵席。

21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

• 斷奶後才是事奉神的開始

撒母耳記上(1 Samuel) 1:22 哈拿卻沒有上去，對丈夫說：「等孩子斷了奶，我便帶他上去朝見耶和華，使他永遠住在那裏。」

1:22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.

• 斷過奶的孩子舉止、心靈都安靜

詩篇(Psalm) 131:2 我的心平穩安靜，好像斷過奶的孩子在他母親的懷中；我的心在我裏面真像斷過奶的孩子。

131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

• 斷奶的嬰兒能按手在毒蛇的穴上

以賽亞書(Isaiah) 11:8 吃奶的孩子必**玩耍**在虺蛇的洞口；斷奶的嬰兒必**按手**在毒蛇的穴上。

11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

（玩耍和按手的區別！）

• 因他吃的是乾糧，有長大成人的身量

希伯來書(Hebrews) 5:12 看你們學習的工夫，本該作師傅，誰知還得有人將神聖言小學的開端另教導你們，並且成了那必須吃奶、不能吃乾糧的人。

5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

5:13 凡只能吃奶的都不熟練仁義的道理，因為他是嬰孩；

5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

5:14 惟獨長大成人的才能吃乾糧；他們的心竅習練得通達，就能分辨好歹了。

5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

以弗所書(Ephesians) 4:13 直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認識神的兒子，得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量，

4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

4:14 使我們不再作小孩子，中了人的詭計和欺騙的法術，被一切異教之風搖動，飄來飄去，就隨從各樣的異端；

4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
