命分未取之地

13 約書亞年紀老邁,耶和華對他說:「你年紀老邁了,還有許多未得之地, 就是非利士人的全境和基述人的全地: 埃及前的西曷河往北,直到以革倫的境界,就算屬迦南人之地,有非利士人五個首領所管的加沙人、亞實突人、亞實基倫人、迦特人、以革倫人之地,並有南方亞衛人之地。 又有迦南人的全地,並屬西頓人的米亞拉亞弗,直到亞摩利人的境界。 還有迦巴勒人之地,並向日出的全黎巴嫩,就是從黑門山根的巴力迦得,直到哈馬口。 山地的一切居民,從黎巴嫩直到米斯利弗瑪音,就是所有的西頓人,我必在以色列人面前趕出他們去。你只管照我所吩咐的,將這地拈鬮分給以色列人為業。 現在你要把這地分給九個支派和瑪拿西半個支派為業。」

二支派半所得之地

瑪拿西那半支派和魯本迦得二支派已經受了產業,就是耶和華的僕人摩西約旦河東所賜給他們的, 是從亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥和谷中的城,並米底巴的全平原,直到底本 10 和在希實本做王亞摩利西宏的諸城,直到亞捫人的境界; 11 又有基列地,基述人、瑪迦人的地界,並黑門全山,巴珊全地,直到撒迦 12 又有巴珊的全國,他在亞斯他錄以得來做王(利乏音人所存留的只剩下他)。這些地的人都是摩西所擊殺、所趕逐的。 13 以色列人卻沒有趕逐基述人、瑪迦人,這些人仍住在以色列中,直到今日。 14 只是利未支派,摩西[a]沒有把產業分給他們,他們的產業乃是獻於耶和華以色列神的火祭,正如耶和華所應許他們的。

15 摩西按著魯本支派的宗族分給他們產業。 16 他們的境界是亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥和谷中的城,靠近米底巴的全平原; 17 希實本並屬希實本平原的各城,底本巴末巴力伯巴力勉 18 雅雜基底莫米法押 19 基列亭西比瑪,谷中山的細列哈沙轄 20 伯毗珥毗斯迦山坡,伯耶西末 21 平原的各城,並亞摩利西宏的全國。這西宏曾在希實本做王,摩西把他和米甸的族長以未利金蘇珥戶珥利巴擊殺了。這都是住那地屬西宏為首領的。 22 那時以色列人在所殺的人中,也用刀殺了比珥的兒子術士巴蘭 23 魯本人的境界就是約旦河與靠近約旦河的地。以上是魯本人按著宗族所得為業的諸城,並屬城的村莊。

24 摩西按著迦得支派的宗族分給他們產業。 25 他們的境界是雅謝基列的各城,並亞捫人的一半地,直到拉巴前的亞羅珥 26 希實本拉抹米斯巴比多寧,又從瑪哈念底璧的境界, 27 並谷中的伯亞蘭伯寧拉疏割撒分,就是希實本西宏國中的餘地;以及約旦河與靠近約旦河的地,直到基尼烈海的極邊,都在約旦河東。 28 以上是迦得人按著宗族所得為業的諸城,並屬城的村莊。

29 摩西把產業分給瑪拿西半支派,是按著瑪拿西半支派的宗族所分的。 30 他們的境界是從瑪哈念起,包括巴珊全地,就是巴珊的全國,並在巴珊睚珥的一切城邑,共六十個; 31 基列的一半,並亞斯他錄以得來,就是屬巴珊國的二城;是按著宗族給瑪拿西的兒子瑪吉的一半子孫。

32 以上是摩西約旦河東對著耶利哥摩押平原所分給他們的產業。 33 只是利未支派,摩西沒有把產業分給他們,耶和華以色列的神是他們的產業,正如耶和華所應許他們的。

尚未攻取之地

13 约书亚年事已高,耶和华对他说:“你年纪大了,但还有许多地方有待征服, 就是非利士人和基述人的全境, 即从埃及东面的西曷河直到北面以革伦的边境,这一带都算是迦南,是统治迦萨人、亚实突人、亚实基伦人、迦特人、以革伦人的五个非利士王的地方;南方亚卫人的地方; 整个迦南人的地方,从西顿人的米亚拉直到亚摩利人边境的亚弗; 迦巴勒人的地方;以及东从黑门山山麓的巴力·迦得直到哈马口的整个黎巴嫩。 我必为以色列人赶走从黎巴嫩到米斯利弗·玛音一带山区的西顿人。你只管照我的吩咐,把这些土地分给以色列人作产业, 分给其他九个支派和玛拿西半个支派作产业。”

约旦河东土地的分配

玛拿西半个支派和吕便、迦得两支派已经得到耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东分给他们的产业: 从亚嫩谷旁的亚罗珥起,包括谷中的城,直到底本的整个米底巴平原, 10 以及希实本的亚摩利王西宏统治的各城,直到亚扪的边境。 11 此外,还包括基列、基述人和玛迦人的疆域、整个黑门山和直到撒迦的整个巴珊地, 12 以及巴珊王噩的国土。噩曾经在亚斯她录和以得来做王,是仅存的利乏音人。摩西打败了这些人,赶走了他们。 13 以色列人却没有赶走基述人和玛迦人,他们到今天还住在以色列人当中。

14 摩西并没有把土地分给利未支派作产业,因为献给以色列的上帝耶和华的火祭就是他们的产业,正如耶和华对他们的应许。

15 以下是摩西按宗族分给吕便支派的产业: 16 从亚嫩谷的城、谷旁的亚罗珥和米底巴附近的整个平原, 17 到希实本城和希实本平原的所有城邑,即底本、巴末·巴力、伯·巴力·勉、 18 雅杂、基底莫、米法押、 19 基列亭、西比玛、谷中山丘上的细列哈·沙辖、 20 伯毗珥、毗斯迦山坡和伯·耶西末, 21 平原的各城邑和亚摩利王西宏的国土。西宏曾在希实本做王,摩西打败了他和他的米甸首领以未、利金、苏珥、户珥和利巴。 22 以色列人所杀的人中有比珥的儿子术士巴兰。 23 吕便支派的土地以约旦河为界。以上是吕便支派按宗族分到的城邑和村庄。

24 以下是摩西按宗族分给迦得支派的土地: 25 雅谢和基列境内所有的城邑;亚扪人的一半领土,直到拉巴附近的亚罗珥; 26 从希实本直到拉抹·米斯巴和比多宁,从玛哈念到底璧的边境; 27 还有谷中的伯亚兰、伯·宁拉、疏割、撒分,就是希实本王西宏国中其余的土地,以约旦河为界,沿东岸直到加利利海的顶端。 28 以上这些城邑、村庄便是迦得支派按宗族所分到的产业。

29 以下是摩西按宗族分给玛拿西半个支派的土地: 30 从玛哈念开始,包括整个巴珊,就是巴珊王噩的国土及其境内雅珥的六十座城邑, 31 还有基列的一半和巴珊王噩的两座城——亚斯她录和以得来。玛拿西的儿子玛吉的一半子孙按宗族分到这些土地。

32 以上是摩西在耶利哥对面约旦河东的摩押平原分给以色列人的产业。 33 摩西并没有分给利未支派任何产业,因为以色列的上帝耶和华就是他们的产业,正如耶和华对他们的应许。

Land Still to Be Taken

13 When Joshua had grown old,(A) the Lord said to him, “You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over.

“This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines(B) and Geshurites,(C) from the Shihor River(D) on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron(E) on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers(F) in Gaza, Ashdod,(G) Ashkelon,(H) Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites(I) on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek(J) and the border of the Amorites;(K) the area of Byblos;(L) and all Lebanon(M) to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon(N) to Lebo Hamath.(O)

“As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,(P) that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out(Q) before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,(R) and divide it as an inheritance(S) among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

The other half of Manasseh,[a] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned(T) it to them.(U)

It extended from Aroer(V) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau(W) of Medeba as far as Dibon,(X) 10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,(Y) out to the border of the Ammonites.(Z) 11 It also included Gilead,(AA) the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah(AB) 12 that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,(AC) who had reigned in Ashtaroth(AD) and Edrei.(AE) (He was the last of the Rephaites.(AF)) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.(AG) 13 But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur(AH) and Maakah,(AI) so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.(AJ)

14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.(AK)

15 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:

16 The territory from Aroer(AL) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba(AM) 17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau,(AN) including Dibon,(AO) Bamoth Baal,(AP) Beth Baal Meon,(AQ) 18 Jahaz,(AR) Kedemoth,(AS) Mephaath,(AT) 19 Kiriathaim,(AU) Sibmah,(AV) Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 Beth Peor,(AW) the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 all the towns on the plateau(AX) and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs,(AY) Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba(AZ)—princes allied with Sihon—who lived in that country. 22 In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor,(BA) who practiced divination.(BB) 23 The boundary of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.(BC)

24 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

25 The territory of Jazer,(BD) all the towns of Gilead(BE) and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;(BF) 26 and from Heshbon(BG) to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim(BH) to the territory of Debir;(BI) 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,(BJ) Sukkoth(BK) and Zaphon(BL) with the rest of the realm of Sihon king of Heshbon (the east side of the Jordan, the territory up to the end of the Sea of Galilee[b](BM)). 28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites,(BN) according to their clans.

29 This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:

30 The territory extending from Mahanaim(BO) and including all of Bashan,(BP) the entire realm of Og king of Bashan(BQ)—all the settlements of Jair(BR) in Bashan, sixty towns, 31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan).(BS) This was for the descendants of Makir(BT) son of Manasseh—for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.(BU)

32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab(BV) across the Jordan east of Jericho.(BW) 33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;(BX) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,(BY) as he promised them.(BZ)
