約旦河西土地的分配

1 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。

The Inheritance West of the Jordan

1 These are the inheritances that the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel gave them to inherit. (民34:17; 书17:4; 书21:1) 2 Their inheritance was by lot, just as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes. (民26:56; 民33:54; 民34:13) 3 For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. (书13:8; 书13:33) 4 For the people of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion was given to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their livestock and their substance. (创48:5; 代上5:1) 5 The people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses; they allotted the land. (民35:1; 书21:2)

Caleb’s Request and Inheritance

6 Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you and me. (民14:24; 民14:30; 民32:12; 申1:36; 申1:38; 书14:13; 书15:17)

民14:24民14:30民32:12申1:36申1:38书14:13书15:17

7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. (民13:6; 民13:16; 民13:30; 民14:6)

民13:6民13:16民13:30民14:6

8 But my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the Lord my God. (民13:31; 申1:28) 9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ (民14:24; 申1:36; 书1:3) 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, just as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old. (民14:30; 书14:7) 11 I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming. (申31:2; 申34:7) 12 So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.” (民13:28; 民13:33) 13 Then Joshua blessed him, and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. (书10:36; 书15:13; 书21:11; 书22:6; 士1:20; 代上6:55)

书10:36书15:13书21:11书22:6士1:20代上6:55

14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the Lord, the God of Israel. (书14:8) 15 Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba.^[1] (Arba^[2] was the greatest man among the Anakim.) And the land had rest from war. (创23:2; 创35:27; 书10:36; 书11:23; 书14:13; 士1:10)
