旧约 - 约书亚记(Joshua)第14章

Now these are the areas the Israelites received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel allotted to them.
Their inheritances were assigned by lot to the nine-and-a-half tribes, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
Moses had granted the two-and-a-half tribes their inheritance east of the Jordan but had not granted the Levites an inheritance among the rest,
for the sons of Joseph had become two tribes--Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites received no share of the land but only towns to live in, with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.
So the Israelites divided the land, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Now the men of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me.
I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions,
but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear. I, however, followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.
So on that day Moses swore to me, 'The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.'
"Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old!
I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.
Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said."
Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.
So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
(Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.) Then the land had rest from war.
约书亚记第十四章   第 14 章 

  书 14:5> 遵行神的旨意,差不多就行了。行吗? 

  14:5 以色列人完全依照神在多年以前吩咐摩西的话,给各支派分配迦南的土地。约书亚没有做丝毫的更改,他毫厘不差地遵照神的命令去行。我们常常以为做到差不多就不错了,还把这种看法带到属灵的生活里。例如,我们愿照着圣经的教诲去做,但遇上严格的律例时,则不愿完全遵守。实际上,神喜欢彻底贯彻祂命令的人。 

  书 14:6-12> 迦勒等了四十五年,仍然没有气馁,可是我才等了多久…… 

  14:6-12 迦勒从起初就对神忠心。他是摩西最初打发去窥探迦南地的十二个探子之一(参民 13:30-33 ),他看到那里的大城和巨人,但相信神必帮助以色列人攻占那地。因为他的信心,神应许他得一块土地作他的产业(参民 14:24 ;申 1:34-36 )。这一段经文记载,四十五年以后,约书亚把这地分给了迦勒。迦勒的信心没有动摇,他所承受的地上虽仍有巨人,他却深信耶和华必助他得胜。我们应当像迦勒一样对神忠心,不仅在起步时与祂同行,乃要整个一生始终如一;我们切不可躺在过去的成就或名誉上。 

  书 14:15> 亚衲族是…… 

  14:15 亚衲人是巨人的一族,在约书亚占领迦南以前住在那里。
