旧约 - 约书亚记（Joshua）第17章

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.

Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?

And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:

But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.

约书亚记第十七章　　第 17 章　

　　书 17:3-4> 没有先例的事，要不要争取，要不要网开一面？原则是──　

　　17:3-4　在以色列社会中按照传统习俗，妇女并不承受产业。但是摩西以公平打破惯例，将这五个女人所当得的田地分给她们（参民 27:1-11 ）。实际上，是神吩咐摩西加上一条律例，使处于同样情况之下的妇女也可以承受产业。约书亚现在便执行这条律例。人很容易用一句“事无先例”来拒绝合理的要求，但摩西与约书亚的做法是，先仔细研究这条律例的目的，以及每宗个案的法律依据，然后才作出决定。　

　　书 17:14-15> 强调困难与积极进取，你常偏向哪一边？　

　　17:14-15　要留意两种人，他们以截然不同的态度，去得神应许他们的地土。迦勒欣然前往，去占领神赐给他的产业，实现神对他的计划（ 14:12 ），他深信神必要帮助他赶出恶人，不久就会完全占领那些土地（ 15:14-15 ）。约瑟的子孙拈得肥沃的土地，但是不敢把那地的居民赶出去，反而要求得更多的地，他们和迦勒真是有天壤之别。但是约书亚要他们表示诚意，首先去未得之地砍伐树木，以扩大地土，他们虽然答应，却未能做得彻底（参士 1:27 ）。──《灵修版圣经注释》　

约书亚书注释　　一七1～13 玛拿西的产业部分在约但河东的基列和巴珊（1节），以及部分在西面（7～11节）。约但河西的土地是靠在北面迦南人的六座重要城堡——伯善、以伯莲、多珥、隐多珥、他纳和米吉多（11，12节）。一些以法莲的城邑是在玛拿西的土地内，而一些玛拿西的镇市又在亚设的土地内，并且……以萨迦（7～12节）。

　　西罗非哈的女儿继承玛拿西之子孙的产业，正如神吩咐摩西的（3，4节）（民二七l～7）。这样做是确保西罗非哈家仍分得产业，即使他们没有男性继承人。那些女儿必须与她们支派里的男子结婚，所以土地仍属于玛拿西支派。不至与其它支派通婚，土地被汲纳（民三六l～13）。

　　一七14～18 在以法莲和玛拿西得到约但河西毗连的土地后，他们投诉他们只得一阄（14节），并且他们被北面的城堡包围着（16节）。约书亚反驳他们的论调。当他们说他们因为人多，需要更多土地（14节）时，约书亚便告诉他们以他们的人力砍伐境地内的树林，并居住在那里（15节）。当他们投诉这里有迦南人在境内，迦南人又有铁车（16节），约书亚确保他们有高超的力量，把迦南人赶出去（18节）。

　　留意这里有两种人，他们以截然不同的态度，去得神应许他们的地土。迦勒欣然前往，去占领神赐给他的产业，实现神对他的计划（十四12），他深信神必要帮助他，赶出恶人，不久就会完全占领那些土地（十五14-15）。约瑟的子孙拈得肥沃的土地，却不敢把那地的居民赶出去，反而要求得更多的地，他们和迦勒真是有天壤之别。但是约书亚要他们表示诚意，首先去未得之地砍伐树木，以扩大地土，他们虽然答应，却未能做得彻底（参士一27）。

　　第14节的“一阄”意思指在约但河西以法莲和玛拿西的土地。约书亚说：“不可仅有一阄之地”（17节下），他的意思不是说他们可得到额外的土地，而是他们必定占据所有已分给他们的土地。
