    圣经背景:(11)脱鞋子

    ……不要近前来。当把你脚上的鞋脱下来,因为你所站之地是圣地”[出 3:5]

            在古代,鞋子象征了自我。所以,为了表示自己始终不是一个重要的人物,他脱下了自己的鞋子。

            犹太人如果家中有人死亡或亲朋好友去世,在葬礼之后的一星期里,家人都闭门不出,而且在这个星期中都不穿鞋子。这是为了表示自己并不重要,重要的是对死去亲人的记忆。

            犹太人日历中最重要的一天是元旦后第10天的赎罪日。这一天,整天都要在犹太会堂度过,24小时不吃东西,为过去一年的行为祈求得到宽恕。这一天也不穿鞋子——也是表示自己的存在并不重要。

    【马尔文.托卡耶尔著,焦婷婷译,《犹太人的奇异思想》(北京:中国社会科学出版社,2009),84-85.】
