今天我們讀到約書亞記第14章,是以色列人在征戰後期開始分地的關鍵時刻。特別的是,分地不是人決定、不是政治安排、不是靠實力,而是由:
• 祭司以利亞撒
• 約書亞
• 各支派代表
一起 按着抽籤(求問、決斷) 讓神親自做主。這是一個全會眾交出主權 的記號。在這個時候,迦勒站出來了。他提醒全以色列——神不會忘記一個專心跟從祂的人。他的出現不只是拿地,而是讓整個會眾重新看到神的信實。
今天的三點提醒
- 專心跟從——信心比現實更大: 45年前 12 個探子窺探迦南:10人看巨人、看困難,迦勒和約書亞看神的應許。迦勒說:「我按着心意回報。」他是按 神的眼光回應,而不是按環境、恐懼或人的聲音。今天提醒我們:我們是看神?還是看問題?
- 堅持到底——神一句話都不會落空: 迦勒說:「耶和華照祂所應許的使我存活… 我今天 85 歲,力量還像當年一樣。」曠野40年+迦南爭戰5–7年=神的話依然成立。信心不是短跑,是一生的忠心。
- 勇敢領受——踏進神為你預備的地: 迦勒求的不是容易的地,而是住着亞衲族人(巨人族)的 希伯崙山地。那是最難攻的地區。但他知道:力量不是自己,而是神與他同在。今天我們願不願意為神、為家人、為教會踏出信心的一步?
今天的反思
1. 我是否願意像迦勒一樣「專心跟從」?
2. 我在等待中,有沒有失去信心?
3. 有沒有一些神已經為我預備的“應許之地”,我卻還未踏進去?
鼓勵家人們,無論現在是白天或晚上,讓我們保守自己的心——讓神的話走在前面。願我們都像迦勒:專心跟從、堅持到底、勇敢領受。讓神的應許在我們身上完全成就。
約書亞記 14
以色列人在迦南地所得的產業,就是祭司以利亞撒和嫩的兒子約書亞並以色列各支派的族長所分給他們的,都記在下面, 2 是照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的,把產業拈鬮分給九個半支派。
3 原來摩西在約旦河東已經把產業分給那兩個半支派,只是在他們中間沒有把產業分給利未人。 4 因為約瑟的子孫是兩個支派,就是瑪拿西和以法蓮,所以沒有把地分給利未人,但給他們城邑居住,並城邑的郊野,可以牧養他們的牲畜,安置他們的財物。 5 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西,以色列人就照樣行,把地分了。
6 那時,猶大人來到吉甲見約書亞,有基尼洗族耶孚尼的兒子迦勒對約書亞說:「耶和華在加低斯巴尼亞指著我與你對神人摩西所說的話,你都知道了。 7 耶和華的僕人摩西從加低斯巴尼亞打發我窺探這地,那時我正四十歲,我按著心意回報他。 8 然而同我上去的眾弟兄使百姓的心消化,但我專心跟從耶和華我的神。 9 當日摩西起誓說:『你腳所踏之地定要歸你和你的子孫永遠為業,因為你專心跟從耶和華我的神。』 10 自從耶和華對摩西說這話的時候,耶和華照他所應許的,使我存活這四十五年,其間以色列人在曠野行走。看哪,現今我八十五歲了, 11 我還是強壯,像摩西打發我去的那天一樣。無論是爭戰是出入,我的力量那時如何,現在還是如何。 12 求你將耶和華那日應許我的這山地給我。那裡有亞衲族人,並寬大堅固的城,你也曾聽見了。或者耶和華照他所應許的與我同在,我就把他們趕出去。」
13 於是約書亞為耶孚尼的兒子迦勒祝福,將希伯崙給他為業。 14 所以希伯崙做了基尼洗族耶孚尼的兒子迦勒的產業,直到今日,因為他專心跟從耶和華以色列的神。 15 希伯崙從前名叫基列亞巴,亞巴是亞衲族中最尊大的人。於是國中太平,沒有爭戰了。
Joshua 14
These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. 2 Their inheritance was by lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. 3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them. 4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property. 5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.
6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. 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 back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. 11 As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance. 14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. 15 And the name of Hebron formerly was Kirjath Arba (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim).
Then the land had rest from war.
