Joshua 1 After they had subdued the land, the whole community of the Israelites assembled at 这地方既然已被征服，以色列子民的全会众就都聚集到史罗，在那里竖起了会幕。 2 Seven tribes among the Israelites had not yet received their heritage. 以色列子民中，还有七个支派没有分得产业。 3 Joshua therefore said to the Israelites, ＂How much longer will you put off taking steps to possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you? 若苏厄对以色列子民说：＂你们迟迟不去，承受上主你们祖先的天主赐与你们的土地，要到什么时候呢？ 4 Choose three men from each of your tribes; I will commission them to begin a survey of the land, which they shall describe for purposes of inheritance. When they return to me 你们应由每支派推选三人，我好派他们去走遍全境，按照各支派应得的产业，画成图样，然后回来见我。 5 you shall divide it into seven parts. 他们应将那地分成七份，犹大保有自己在南方的土地，若瑟家族保有自己在北方的土地。 6 You shall bring here to me the description of the land in seven sections. I will then cast lots for you here before the LORD, our God. 你们应将这地划成七份，把图样带来见我，使我好在这里，于上主我们的天主面前，为你们抽签。 7 For the Levites have no share among you, because the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage; while Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received the heritage east of the 肋未人在你们中间不应有产业，因为上主司祭的品位，就是他们的产业。至于加得、勒乌本和默纳协半个支派，在约但河东岸已分得了产业，那是上主的仆人梅瑟分给他们的。＂ 8 When those who were to map out the land were ready for the journey, Joshua instructed them to survey the land, prepare a description of it, and return to him; then he would cast lots for them there before the LORD in Shiloh. 这些人准备出发时，若苏厄吩咐这些去绘图的人说：＂你们去走遍这地，画成图样，然后回来见我，我要在史罗于上主面前为你们抽签。＂ 9 So they went through the land, listed its cities in writing in seven sections, and returned to Joshua in the camp at 这些人就去走遍全境，将所有城市分成七分，写在书册上，回到史罗营中呈给若苏厄。 10 Joshua then divided up the land for the Israelites into their separate shares, casting lots for them before the LORD in 若苏厄便在史罗于上主面前，为他们抽签，在那里按照他们的分法，将地分给了以色列子民。 11 One lot fell to the clans of the tribe of Benjaminites. The territory allotted them lay between the descendants of 本雅明支派按他们的家族，抽签分得的产业，是在犹大子孙和若瑟子孙中间。 12 1 Their northern boundary began at the 北面的边界起自约但河，沿耶里哥北面的山坡往上，至西面山地，直达贝特阿文旷野； 13 From there it crossed over to the southern flank of Luz (that is, 再由此经路次，沿路次即贝特耳南山坡下，下至阿塔洛特阿达尔，与在下贝特曷龙南部的山相接， 14 For the western border, the boundary line swung south from the mountaintop opposite Bethhoron till it reached Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), which city belonged to the Judahites.
