2 Chronicles 35:15

Japanese (Colloquial version (1955))

アサフの子孫である歌うたう者たちは、ダビデ、アサフ、ヘマンおよび王の先見者エドトンの命に従ってその持ち場におり、門衛たちはおのおの門にいて、その職務を離れるに及ばなかった。兄弟であるレビびとが彼らのために備えたからである。

この聖句の意味

This verse describes how the singers and gatekeepers were performing their duties as instructed by King Josiah and earlier leaders. The singers, sons of Asaph, followed the guidelines set by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun. The gatekeepers stayed at their posts, supported by their Levite brethren.

子どもにもわかる説明

Imagine a big concert where the musicians are playing their instruments just as the director told them. The people at the doors are making sure everyone gets in safely. The helpers are taking care of the musicians and the doorkeepers. It's like a well-organized event where everyone knows their job.

歴史的背景

2 Chronicles was written by an unknown author, likely during or shortly after the Babylonian exile (around 538 BCE). The audience was the returning exiles, and the cultural setting was post-exilic Jerusalem, where the emphasis was on religious reforms and restoration of temple worship under King Josiah.

今日への適用

In today’s context, this verse reminds us to stay focused on our tasks and roles, just like the singers and gatekeepers did. For instance, in a school play, the actors, musicians, and stage managers must stick to their roles for the performance to go smoothly.
