Joshua 14

English Standard Version

from Crossway
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. (Nu 34:17; Jos 17:4; Jos 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. (Nu 26:56; Nu 33:54; Nu 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. (Jos 13:8; Jos 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. (Ge 48:5; 1Ch 5:1)5 The people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses; they allotted the land. (Nu 35:1; Jos 21:2)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. (Nu 14:24; Nu 14:30; Nu 32:12; De 1:36; De 1:38; Jos 14:13; Jos 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. (Nu 13:6; Nu 13:16; Nu 13:30; Nu 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. (Nu 13:31; De 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.’ (Nu 14:24; De 1:36; Jos 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. (Nu 14:30; Jos 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. (De 31:2; De 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.” (Nu 13:28; Nu 13:33)13 Then Joshua blessed him, and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. (Jos 10:36; Jos 15:13; Jos 21:11; Jos 22:6; Jud 1:20; 1Ch 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. (Jos 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. (Ge 23:2; Ge 35:27; Jos 10:36; Jos 11:23; Jos 14:13; Jud 1:10)

1 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。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。
