约书亚记 14
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
九支派半所得之地
14 以色列人在迦南地所得的产业,就是祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚并以色列各支派的族长所分给他们的,都记在下面, 2 是照耶和华借摩西所吩咐的,把产业拈阄分给九个半支派。
利未人无地为业
3 原来摩西在约旦河东已经把产业分给那两个半支派,只是在他们中间没有把产业分给利未人。 4 因为约瑟的子孙是两个支派,就是玛拿西和以法莲,所以没有把地分给利未人,但给他们城邑居住,并城邑的郊野,可以牧养他们的牲畜,安置他们的财物。 5 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,以色列人就照样行,把地分了。
6 那时,犹大人来到吉甲见约书亚,有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒对约书亚说:“耶和华在加低斯巴尼亚指着我与你对神人摩西所说的话,你都知道了。 7 耶和华的仆人摩西从加低斯巴尼亚打发我窥探这地,那时我正四十岁,我按着心意回报他。 8 然而同我上去的众弟兄使百姓的心消化,但我专心跟从耶和华我的神。 9 当日摩西起誓说:‘你脚所踏之地定要归你和你的子孙永远为业,因为你专心跟从耶和华我的神。’ 10 自从耶和华对摩西说这话的时候,耶和华照他所应许的,使我存活这四十五年,其间以色列人在旷野行走。看哪,现今我八十五岁了, 11 我还是强壮,像摩西打发我去的那天一样。无论是争战是出入,我的力量那时如何,现在还是如何。 12 求你将耶和华那日应许我的这山地给我。那里有亚衲族人,并宽大坚固的城,你也曾听见了。或者耶和华照他所应许的与我同在,我就把他们赶出去。”
迦勒得希伯仑为业
13 于是约书亚为耶孚尼的儿子迦勒祝福,将希伯仑给他为业。 14 所以希伯仑做了基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业,直到今日,因为他专心跟从耶和华以色列的神。 15 希伯仑从前名叫基列亚巴,亚巴是亚衲族中最尊大的人。于是国中太平,没有争战了。

约旦河西土地的分配
14 以下是祭司以利亚撒、嫩的儿子约书亚和以色列各支派的首领在迦南分给以色列人的产业, 2 是照耶和华给摩西的指示,用抽签的方式分给九个半支派的。 3 摩西在约旦河东已经把产业分给了吕便、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派,只是没有把产业分给利未人。 4 约瑟的子孙已分为玛拿西和以法莲两个支派。利未人没有分到地,但有城邑居住,还有城郊可以牧养牲畜,安置财物。 5 以色列人照耶和华给摩西的指示分配这些土地。
迦勒分得希伯仑
6 那时,犹大支派的人来到吉甲见约书亚,其中有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒。他对约书亚说:“你知道耶和华在加低斯·巴尼亚跟上帝的仆人摩西提到关于你和我的事。 7 我四十岁那年,耶和华的仆人摩西从加低斯·巴尼亚派我来侦察这地方,我如实禀告他。 8 与我同去的弟兄的禀告令以色列人胆战心惊,但我忠心地追随我的上帝耶和华。 9 所以,当日摩西就向我起誓,‘你脚踏过的地方必永远归你和你的子孙作产业,因为你忠心地追随我的上帝耶和华。’ 10 耶和华照祂的应许,让我又活了四十五年,这些日子都是跟以色列人在旷野一起度过的。看!我现在已经八十五岁了, 11 仍像当年摩西派我出去时那样身强力壮,跟当年一样能征善战。 12 现在,求你照耶和华当日向我应许的,把这山区赐给我。你亲耳听到那里有亚衲人,他们的城池高大坚固。但如果耶和华与我同在,我必照着祂的应许把这些人赶走。”
13 于是,约书亚便祝福耶孚尼的儿子迦勒,把希伯仑给他,作为他的产业。 14 所以,希伯仑至今仍是基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业,因为他忠心地追随以色列的上帝耶和华。 15 希伯仑从前名叫基列·亚巴,亚巴原是亚衲族中最伟大的人。从此,境内太平,没有战争。

約旦河西土地的分配
14 以下是祭司以利亞撒、嫩的兒子約書亞和以色列各支派的首領在迦南分給以色列人的產業, 2 是照耶和華給摩西的指示,用抽籤的方式分給九個半支派的。 3 摩西在約旦河東已經把產業分給了呂便、迦得支派和瑪拿西半個支派,只是沒有把產業分給利未人。 4 約瑟的子孫已分為瑪拿西和以法蓮兩個支派。利未人沒有分到地,但有城邑居住,還有城郊可以牧養牲畜,安置財物。 5 以色列人照耶和華給摩西的指示分配這些土地。
迦勒分得希伯崙
6 那時,猶大支派的人來到吉甲見約書亞,其中有基尼洗族耶孚尼的兒子迦勒。他對約書亞說:「你知道耶和華在加低斯·巴尼亞跟上帝的僕人摩西提到關於你和我的事。 7 我四十歲那年,耶和華的僕人摩西從加低斯·巴尼亞派我來偵察這地方,我如實稟告他。 8 與我同去的弟兄的稟告令以色列人膽戰心驚,但我忠心地追隨我的上帝耶和華。 9 所以,當日摩西就向我起誓,『你腳踏過的地方必永遠歸你和你的子孫作產業,因為你忠心地追隨我的上帝耶和華。』 10 耶和華照祂的應許,讓我又活了四十五年,這些日子都是跟以色列人在曠野一起度過的。看!我現在已經八十五歲了, 11 仍像當年摩西派我出去時那樣身強力壯,跟當年一樣能征善戰。 12 現在,求你照耶和華當日向我應許的,把這山區賜給我。你親耳聽到那裡有亞衲人,他們的城池高大堅固。但如果耶和華與我同在,我必照著祂的應許把這些人趕走。」
13 於是,約書亞便祝福耶孚尼的兒子迦勒,把希伯崙給他,作為他的產業。 14 所以,希伯崙至今仍是基尼洗族耶孚尼的兒子迦勒的產業,因為他忠心地追隨以色列的上帝耶和華。 15 希伯崙從前名叫基列·亞巴,亞巴原是亞衲族中最偉大的人。從此,境內太平,沒有戰爭。
Joshua 14
Living Bible
14 1-2 The conquered lands of Canaan were allotted to the remaining nine and a half tribes of Israel. The decision as to which tribe would receive which area was decided by throwing dice[a] before the Lord, and he caused them to turn up in the ways he wanted. Eleazar the priest, Joshua, and the tribal leaders supervised the lottery.
3-4 (Moses had already given land to the two and a half tribes on the east side of the Jordan River. The tribe of Joseph had become two separate tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and the Levites were given no land at all, except cities in which to live and the surrounding pasturelands for their cattle. 5 So the distribution of the land was in strict accordance with the Lord’s directions to Moses.)
6 The Land Given to Caleb: A delegation from the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb, came to Joshua in Gilgal.
“Remember what the Lord said to Moses about you and me when we were at Kadesh-barnea?” Caleb asked Joshua. 7 “I was forty years old at the time, and Moses had sent us from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land of Canaan. I reported what I felt was the truth, 8 but our brothers who went with us frightened the people and discouraged them from entering the Promised Land. But since I had followed the Lord my God, 9 Moses told me, ‘The section of Canaan you were just in shall belong to you and your descendants forever.’
10 “Now, as you see, from that time until now the Lord has kept me alive and well for all these forty-five years since crisscrossing the wilderness, and today I am eighty-five years old. 11 I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent us on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then! 12 So I’m asking that you give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as spies we found the Anakim living there in great, walled cities, but if the Lord is with me, I shall drive them out of the land.”
13-14 So Joshua blessed him and gave him Hebron as a permanent inheritance because he had followed the Lord God of Israel. 15 (Before that time Hebron had been called Kiriath-arba, after a great hero of the Anakim.)
And there was no resistance from the local populations as the Israelis resettled the land.
