约书亚记第22章

《圣经》约书亚记-第22章

书22:1 当时，约书亚召了流便人、迦得人，和玛拿西半支派的人来，

†[吕]那时候约书亚把如便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半支派的人召了来，

†[思]那时若苏厄将勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协半支派的人召来，

†[当代]约书亚召集了吕便族、迦得族和玛拿西族其中一半的人来，

†[新译]那时，约书亚把流本人、迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人召了来，

†[Wlb]维时、约书亚召流便人、迦得人、及玛拿西半支派人、

†[Xdv]约亚召集流便、迦得，和东玛拿西支族的人前来，

†[Kjv]Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

†[Nkjv]Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh,

†[BBE]Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

†[GNT] Then Joshua called together the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh.

†[NIV]Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh

本会注释　　当时（'az）。说明事情的发展始于某一时间，紧接着上述的局面，就是第二十一章所记把城邑分给利未支派以后。句子的结构似乎暗示那两个半支派打完仗并没有像有些人所想的马上回去，而是等到12个支派的土地全部分配完毕，利未支派得了城邑以后。

书22:2 对他们说：“耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐你们的，你们都遵守了；我所吩咐你们的，你们也都听从了。 (串)民32:20-22申3:18-20|书1:16,17

†[吕]对他们说：“永恒主的仆人摩西所吩咐你们的、你们都遵守了；在我所吩咐你们的一切事上、你们都听了我的话。

†[思]对他们说：“上主仆人梅瑟吩咐你们的一切，你们都遵守了，在我吩咐你们的一切事上，你们也都听了我的话。

†[当代]对他们说：“上帝的仆人摩西所吩咐的一切，你们都遵守了，我所吩咐你们的，你们也遵守了。

†[新译]对他们说：“耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐你们的一切，你们都遵守了；我吩咐你们的一切，你们也都听从了。

†[Wlb]告之曰、耶和华仆摩西所命、尔悉遵守、我之所命、尔亦听从、

†[Xdv]对他们说：“你们已经完成了上主的仆人摩西所命令你们做的每一件事，也听从了我一切的吩咐。

†[Kjv]And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

†[Nkjv]and said to them: "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.

†[BBE]And said to them, You have kept all the orders of Moses, the Lord's servant, and have done everything I gave you orders to do:

†[GNT] He said to them, "You have done everything that Moses the Lord's servant ordered you to do, and you have obeyed all my commands.

†[NIV]and said to them, "You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded.

本会注释　　第2和3节回顾了1:16节的应许。约书亚在第五节的吩咐回应了他自己当初从上帝那里所领受的应许（书1:7）。在第23和24章所记载约书亚临终前对以色列人的遗嘱中又重复了这些话。

书22:3 你们这许多日子，总没有撇离你们的弟兄，直到今日，并守了耶和华你们上帝所吩咐你们当守的。

†[吕]你们这许多日子总没有撇离你们的族弟兄、直到今日；永恒主你们的上帝所吩咐守的、你们也遵守了。

†[思]这许多日子，你们从来没有离开你们的的弟兄，直到今天，忠信遵守了上主你们天主的命令。

†[当代]这些日子以来，你们从没有离弃自己的弟兄。

†[新译]这许多日子以来，你们一直没有撇弃你们的兄弟，直到今日；耶和华你们的　神吩咐你们的命令，你们也遵守了。

†[Wlb]至今日久、不离尔兄弟、且守尔上帝耶和华所命、

†[Xdv]直到今天，你们没有一次离弃你们的以色列同胞；你们谨慎遵守了上主──你们上帝的命令。

†[Kjv]Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

†[Nkjv]You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

†[BBE]You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.

†[GNT] All this time you have never once deserted the other Israelites. You have been careful to obey the commands of the Lord your God.

†[NIV]For a long time now-to this very day-you have not deserted your brothers but have carried out the mission the Lord your God gave you.

本会注释　　见@书11:18@注释。以色列人化了六七年时间征服了迦南。这两个半支派为了履行自己对弟兄的承诺（书1:12-16），已经离家很久了。他们尽了最大的努力帮助他们的弟兄。
　　值得注意的是，在长期的征战中，除了约瑟的支派提出要求以外（第17章），没有抱怨的声音记录下来。这与在旷野飘流四十年时不断的埋怨形成了鲜明的对比。以色列人在征战，胜利和运动的过程中得到了满足。如果今日的教会能积极推进有每一个成员都参加的布道运动，抱怨，批评和牢骚就会显著减少。

书22:4 如今耶和华你们上帝照着他所应许的，使你们弟兄得享平安，现在可以转回你们的帐棚，到耶和华的仆人摩西在约但河东所赐你们为业之地。 (串)申3:20|书1:15;13:8

†[吕]如今永恒主你们的上帝已照他所应许过你们的、把你们的族弟兄安顿好了，如今你们可以回你们家（原文：帐棚）去，到你们自己拥为产业之地那里，就是永恒主的仆人摩西在约但河东边所赐给你们的。

†[思]现在上主我们的天主，照所应许的，使你们的弟兄获得了安居，你们现在可返回自己的帐幕，回到上主的仆人梅瑟在约但河东，赐给你们为产业的地方去，

†[当代]现在上帝已经照祂的应许使你们的弟兄得以安居，你们各人可以回到河东，到摩西赐给你们作产业的地方去。

†[新译]现在耶和华你们的　神，照着他应许的，已经使你们兄弟得享平安；现在你们可以返回自己家里，回到耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东赐给你们作产业的地方去。

†[Wlb]今尔上帝耶和华践其前言、使尔兄弟得其绥安、尔可返幕、在约但东、耶和华仆摩西所赐尔为业之地、

†[Xdv]现在，上主──你们的上帝已经照他的应许，使你们以色列同胞得以安居。所以，你们应该回家，回到你们所拥有的土地，就是上主的仆人摩西给了你们那块在约旦河东岸的土地。

†[Kjv]And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

†[Nkjv]And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

†[BBE]And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.

†[GNT] Now, as he promised, the Lord your God has given the other Israelites peace. So go back home to the land which you claimed for your own, the land on the east side of the Jordan, that Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you.

†[NIV]Now that the Lord your God has given your brothers rest as he promised, return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

本会注释　　这时百姓可能已经在他们所占领和建造的房屋中定居下来（民32:17）。作者在本节用了“帐篷”，只是对旷野漂泊时住所的习惯称呼而已。这个词在很久以后依然使用。

书22:5 只要切切的谨慎遵行耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐你们的诫命律法，爱耶和华你们的上帝，行他一切的道，守他的诫命，专靠他，尽心尽性事奉他。” (串)申4:15书23:11|申6:5;10:12;11:1,22

†[吕]你们只要格外谨慎遵行永恒主的仆人摩西所吩咐你们的诫命律法，爱永恒主你们的上帝，也行他一切的道路，遵守他的诫命，紧依附着他，全心全意地事奉他。”

†[思]只要你们谨慎遵守上主的仆人梅瑟吩咐你们的诫命和法律：爱慕上主你们的天主，遵行的一切道路，谨守的诫命，全心全灵归属上主，服事上主。”

†[当代]不过，你们要谨守上帝的仆人摩西吩咐你们的诫命和律法，要爱主你们的上帝，遵行祂的旨意，紧紧地跟随祂，全心全意地事奉祂。”

†[新译]只是你们要谨慎遵守耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐你们的诫命和律法，爱耶和华你们的　神，遵行他的一切道路，谨守他的诫命，紧紧倚靠他，一心一意事奉他。”

†[Wlb]惟当谨慎、遵行耶和华仆摩西所谕尔之诫命法度、爱尔上帝耶和华、悉从其道、尽守其诫、一心一意附而事之、

†[Xdv]你们要切实遵守摩西颁给你们的法律：要爱上主──你们的上帝，遵行他的旨意，服从他的诫命，忠于他，全心全意事奉他。”

†[Kjv]But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

†[Nkjv]But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

†[BBE]Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.

†[GNT] Make sure you obey the law that Moses commanded you: love the Lord your God, do his will, obey his commandments, be faithful to him, and serve him with all your heart and soul."

†[NIV]But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul."

本会注释　　切切地谨守遵行。本节的内容与申6:5；10:12；11:13,22；30:6,16,20等节十分相似，说明这些话当时已经记录下来，所以约书亚就可以采用。他对这些话非常熟悉，所以说出与他的前任摩西几乎一样的话。约书亚用属灵的劝勉和警告打发那两个半支派回去。他们唯一的保障在于严格遵守上帝的一切诫命。
　　专靠他。在诗119:31中译成“持守”。有牢固的意思，故意为“抓紧”。

书22:6 于是约书亚为他们祝福，打发他们去，他们就回自己的帐棚去了。 (串)书14:13

†[吕]于是约书亚给他们祝福，打发他们走，他们就回家（原文：帐棚）去了。

†[思]若苏厄于是祝福了他们，打发他们回去；他们就返回了自己的帐幕。──

†[当代]说完了以后，约书亚便为他们祝福，打发他们回去，于是他们就各自返回家园去了。

†[新译]于是约书亚给他们祝福，打发他们回去，他们就回自己的家里去了。

†[Wlb]于是约书亚为之祝嘏、而遣之往、遂归其幕、

†[Xdv]于是约亚祝福他们，送他们回乡，并且说：“你们要带着许多牛群、金、银、铜、铁，和衣服，丰丰富富地回去。要跟你们的同胞分享从敌人夺来的战利品。”于是他们回乡去了。

†[Kjv]So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

†[Nkjv]So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.

†[BBE]Then Joshua gave them his blessing and sent them away: and they went back to their tents.

†[GNT] Joshua sent them home with his blessing and with these words: "You are going back home very rich, with a lot of livestock, silver, gold, bronze, iron, and many clothes. Share with your fellow tribesmen what you took from your enemies." Then they left for

†[NIV]Then Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their homes.

书22:7 玛拿西那半支派，摩西早已在巴珊分给他们地业。这半支派，约书亚在约但河西，在他们弟兄中，分给他们地业。约书亚打发他们回帐棚的时候为他们祝福， (串)书17:5

†[吕]对玛拿西那半族派、摩西早已在巴珊将地分给他们了，至于这半族派、约书亚就在约但河西边将地分给他们、让他们族弟兄一齐地受地；约书亚回家（原文：帐棚）去的时候，给他们祝福，

†[思]梅瑟在巴商已分给了默纳协半支派土地。至于另半个支派，若苏厄在约但河西，在他们的弟兄中，也分给了他们土地，──此外，当若苏厄打发他们回帐幕的时候，祝福了他们，

†[当代]摩西早已经把巴珊分给玛拿西族其中一半的人了，约书亚也在约旦河西，他们的弟兄中把土地分给另外的一半人了。约书亚打发他们回家的时候，为他们祝福以后，

†[新译]摩西在巴珊已经把产业分给了玛拿西半个支派；至于另外半个支派，约书亚在约旦河西他们的兄弟中间，也把产业分给了他们。约书亚打发他们回家去的时候，给他们祝福，

†[Wlb]昔摩西在巴珊、给业于玛拿西半支派、其他半支派、约书亚给之以业于兄弟中、在约但西、遣之归幕时、为之祝嘏、

†[Xdv]摩西把约旦河东边的一部份土地给了玛拿西半支族；约亚把约旦河西边的土地给了玛拿西另一半支族和其它支族。

†[Kjv]Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,

†[Nkjv]Now to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half of it Joshua gave a possession among their brethren on this side of the Jordan, westward. And indeed, when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

†[BBE]Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a heritage in Bashan; but to the other half, Joshua gave a heritage among their brothers on the west side of Jordan. Now when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he gave them his blessing,

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan, and to the other half of the tribe Joshua gave land on the west side of the Jordan with their brothers.) When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them,

本会注释　　不要以为本节是约书亚对玛拿西半个支派又一次单独的谈话。这只是一种重复，是《旧约》作者，特别是约书亚的普遍特征。一个现代的作者可能只是提到他所说过的话，但犹太的历史学家在认为有必要时就进行重复的叙述，为了说清问题。例如约书亚四次提到利未人在全地没有产业（书13:14,33；14:3；18:7），四次提到玛拿西支派分成两半，住在约旦河两岸（书13:7,8；14:3；18:7；以及本节）。

书22:8 对他们说：“你们带许多财物，许多牲畜和金、银、铜、铁，并许多衣服，回你们的帐棚去，要将你们从仇敌夺来的物，与你们众弟兄同分。” (串)民31:27撒上30:24

†[吕]对他们说：“你们带着许多货财，很多牲畜、和金、银、铜、鉄，并很多衣裳、回家（原文：帐棚），要将你们从仇敌掠得之物、和你们的族弟兄同分。”

†[思]向他们说：“现在你们带着这许多财物、牛、羊、金银、铜铁，和大批衣服回到自己的帐幕，也要将你们从由敌人夺得的财物，分给你们的弟兄！”

†[当代]又对他们说：“现在你们带著这么多的财物、牛羊、金银、铜铁器具和衣物返回家园，你们紧记把这些从敌人那里夺取得来的财物，也分给你们的弟兄啊。”

†[新译]对他们说：“你们带着许多财物，许多牲畜和金、银、铜、铁，以及许多衣服，回自己的家去吧；也要把你们从仇敌夺得的战利品与你们的兄弟同分。”

†[Wlb]谓曰、尔携资财丰裕、牲畜殷繁、金银铜铁、衣服孔多、今返尔幕、以尔所获敌财、分与兄弟、

†[Xdv]－

†[Kjv]And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

†[Nkjv]and spoke to them, saying, "Return with much riches to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."

†[BBE]And said to them, Go back with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver and gold and brass and iron, and with a very great store of clothing; give your brothers a part of the goods taken in the war.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]saying, "Return to your homes with your great wealth-with large herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze and iron, and a great quantity of clothing-and divide with your brothers the plunder from your enemies."

本会注释　　那些留在巴勒斯坦东部保卫家园，重建城邑，看护牲口的人应该分享战利品。这是上帝原来吩咐的（民31:27）。后来大卫又这样教导他的百姓（撒上30:24）。

书22:9 于是流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人从迦南地的示罗起行，离开以色列人，回往他们得为业的基列地，就是照耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的得了为业之地。 (串)民32:1,26,29

†[吕]于是如便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半族派的人、从迦南地的示罗起行，离开以色列人，回他们拥为业产之地的基列地去，就是照永恒主由摩西经手所吩咐、让他们拥为业产的地方。

†[思]勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协半支派的人，于是从客纳罕的史罗起身，离开以色列人，回到自己得为产业的基肋阿得，即上主藉梅瑟吩咐给他们作为产业的地方。

†[当代]于是，吕便、迦得和玛拿西族其中一半的人便离开示罗，起程回上帝藉摩西分配给他们的基列去了。

†[新译]于是流本人、迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人，从迦南地的示罗起程，离开以色列人，回到他们所得的产业基列地去，就是照着耶和华借着摩西所吩咐，赐给他们的产业。

†[Wlb]于是流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派人、别以色列族、离迦南之示罗、归基列地、即循耶和华藉摩西所命、而据之业、

†[Xdv]于是流便、迦得，和东玛拿西支族的人回家去。他们在迦南的示罗跟其余的以色列人分手，往他们自己的土地基列出发，就是他们照上主藉着摩西命令他们去征服的那土地。

†[Kjv]And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

†[Nkjv]So the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

†[BBE]So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.

†[GNT] So the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh went back home. They left the rest of the people of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and started out for their own land, the land of Gilead, which they had taken as the Lord had commande

†[NIV]So the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in Canaan to return to Gilead, their own land, which they had acquired in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.

本会注释　　本节说明了两个半支派是在一些支派分到了土地，以色列的总部迁到示罗以后才被打发回去的。如果不是等到那时，他们可能在吉甲就被打发走了。这证明他们是留到了土地分配结束。

书22:10 流便人、迦得人，和玛拿西半支派的人到了靠近约但河的一带迦南地，就在约但河那里筑了一座坛；那坛看着高大。

†[吕]如便人、迦取得人，和玛拿西半支族派的人、来到迦南地近约但河一带地方，就在约但河边那里筑了一座祭坛，一座巨大而壮观的祭坛。

†[思]当勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协半支派的人，来到属客纳罕地的约但河附近地区时，在约但河边了一座祭坛，一座高大可观的祭坛。

†[当代]他们来到在约旦河流域之内的迦南地的时候，就在那里筑起了一座高大的祭坛。

†[新译]流本人、迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人，来到迦南地靠近约旦河的地区，就在约旦河边那里筑了一座祭坛，那坛十分壮观。

†[Wlb]既至迦南地、近约但之境、乃筑高坛、巍然可观、

†[Xdv]流便、迦得，和东玛拿西支族的人来到基利绿，还在约旦河西岸（或译：东岸），他们在河旁筑了一座又大又壮观的祭坛。

†[Kjv]And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.

†[Nkjv]And when they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan--a great, impressive altar.

†[BBE]Now when they came to the country by Jordan in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh put up there, by Jordan, a great altar, seen from far.

†[GNT] When the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh arrived at Geliloth, still on the west side of the Jordan, they built a large, impressive altar there by the river.

†[NIV]When they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar there by the Jordan.

本会注释　　靠近约旦河。有人认为这是指约旦河上游东岸的富饶地区，可能在约旦河蜿蜒的河道边肥沃的草场上。约旦河在加利利湖到死海的104公里直线距离中，蜿蜒延伸了320公里。但这种说法不符合本节的叙述。七十士译本和叙利亚译本都用“吉甲”代替“靠近”。这是各支派过约旦河最理想的地点。经过吉甲的道路一直通往流便和迦得支派的境界。如果他们从北边的约旦河上游过河，他们还得走一百英里左右。还有一个可能的过河地点是亚大玛，但这条路线对于流便和迦得支派的返回不那么直接。所以这些支派是从吉甲回去是最合理的（见《先祖与先知》518页）。他们到了靠近约旦河的地方，在离约书亚立石不远的高地上建了一座祭坛。但也可能在河的对岸（见11节注释）。
　　迦南地。有人认为这是在约旦河西岸，但未经证实。
　　看着高大。说明这座祭坛非常高大，从远处就能看到。这说明这座祭坛只是一个标志，不用来派献祭等用途。但它是模仿会幕门口献燔祭的祭坛建造的，以证明约旦河东的两个半支派也是属上帝的以色列的一部分。

书22:11 以色列人听说流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人靠近约但河边，在迦南地属以色列人的那边筑了一座坛。

†[吕]以色列人一听见了、就说：“看哪，如便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半族派的人、在迦南地边疆、近约但河一带地方、属以色列人一边、筑了一座祭坛呢。’

†[思]以色列人听见说：“看，勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协半支派的人，在属客纳罕地的约但河附近地区，以色列子民境内，了一座祭坛。”

†[当代]以色列人听见这事，便说：“看，吕便、迦得和玛拿西族其中一半的人在约旦河流域我们领土之内，筑起了一座祭坛！”

†[新译]以色列人听见了这事，就说：“看哪，流本人、迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人，在迦南地边境，靠近约旦河的地区，以色列人境内，筑了一座坛。”

†[Wlb]以色列闻流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派人、在迦南地、近约但之境、以色列人界内筑坛、

†[Xdv]有人告诉以色列其它支族的人说：“看哪，流便、迦得，和东玛拿西支族的人在基利绿，就是在约旦河我们这边筑了一座祭坛！”

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.

†[Nkjv]Now the children of Israel heard someone say, "Behold, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan--on the children of Israel's side."

†[BBE]And news came to the children of Israel, See, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have put up an altar opposite the land of Canaan, in the country by Jordan on the side which is Israel's.

†[GNT] The rest of the people of Israel were told, "Listen! The people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh have built an altar at Geliloth, on our side of the Jordan!"

†[NIV]And when the Israelites heard that they had built the altar on the border of Canaan at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side,

本会注释　　一座坛。根据第28节，那是模仿上帝所指示以色列人燔祭坛的样式建造的。
　　那边。希伯来文mul 的意思是“前面。”在大部分地方也是这样译的。就方向而言，前面代表东方，右面是南方，左面是北方。如果本节也是这样，那就是指迦南的东部入口，或约旦河东岸。
　　迦南地。与第十节的“迦南地”一样。七十士译本和叙利亚译本均为 “吉甲”。
　　靠近约旦河边（'el`eber ）。直译是“过去”。`Eber 意为渡口或通道。这似乎证实了最有可能过河的地点（见第10节注释）。该词还有“穿过”的意思，所以无法确定这座坛造在约旦河哪一边。可能是在东边（见《先祖与先知》519页）。

书22:12 全会众一听见，就聚集在示罗，要上去攻打他们。 (串)士20:1

†[吕]以色列人一听见了，其全会众就聚集在示罗，要上去跟他们打仗。

†[思]以色列子民一听说这事，全会众便聚集在史罗，要去作战攻打他们。

†[当代]其他的人听到这个消息便群情汹涌，齐集在示罗，声称要讨伐他们。

†[新译]以色列人听见了这事，以色列全体会众就聚集在示罗，要上去讨伐他们。

†[Wlb]以色列会众遂集于示罗、欲往攻之、

†[Xdv]以色列人一听到这消息，全体会众都聚集到示罗，要去攻打东岸的支族。

†[Kjv]And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.

†[Nkjv]And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go to war against them.

†[BBE]Then all the meeting of the children of Israel, hearing this, came together at Shiloh to go up against them to war.

†[GNT] When the people of Israel heard this, the whole community came together at Shiloh to go to war against the eastern tribes.

†[NIV]the whole assembly of Israel gathered at Shiloh to go to war against them.

本会注释　　这说明在约书亚的时代，以色列人严格顺从和尊崇上帝的律法。稍微的偏离（利17:8,9；申12:5-7；13:12-15）就足以使那九个半支派义愤填膺，甚至不惜与兄弟支派交战。当他们听说在示罗之外又筑了一座祭坛，就准备马上采取行动，以免耶和华的崇拜受到玷污。这一次不是约书亚召集的，而是各支派自发的。但约书亚可能和以利亚撒一起劝说他们暂缓行动，先派代表到二个半支派那里去调查真相。

书22:13 以色列人打发祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈，往基列地去见流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人； (串)出6:25民25:7士20:28

†[吕]以色列人打发了祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈往基列地、去见如便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半族派的人，

†[思]以色列子民便委派厄肋阿匝尔的儿子丕乃哈斯司祭，到基肋阿得地方去见勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协半支派人，

†[当代]以色列人先派祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈往东岸的基列去见他们，

†[新译]以色列人派以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈，到基列地去见流本人、迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人；

†[Wlb]遣祭司以利亚撒子非尼哈往基列地、见流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派人、

†[Xdv]以色列人派祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈，到基列去见流便、迦得，和东玛拿西支族的人；

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

†[Nkjv]Then the children of Israel sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead,

†[BBE]And the children of Israel sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead,

†[GNT] Then the people of Israel sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, to the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh in the land of Gilead.

†[NIV]So the Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, to the land of Gilead-to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

本会注释　　大祭司的儿子非尼哈非常适合担任这次使命。他曾在危难的时刻起来抵制巴力毗珥的罪恶（民25:7,8）。所有的人都知道他的忠心。也许没有人比他更适合率团前往了。

书22:14 又打发十个首领与非尼哈同去，就是以色列每支派的一个首领，都是以色列军中的统领。 (串)民1:16

†[吕]又打发了十个首领，就是以色列各支派、各父系家属各派一个首领和他同去；这些人在以色列族系（同词：千夫）中每一个都是他们父系家属的首领。

†[思]和他同去的尚有十位领袖，每支派一个，他们都是以色列各家族的族长。

†[当代]每族又派一位族长，共十位随行。

†[新译]又派十个首领与非尼哈同去，每一个都代表以色列的支派家族；他们是全体以色列各家族的领袖。

†[Wlb]又遣以色列各支派牧伯十人、即以色列亿兆之族长偕往、

†[Xdv]有十个首领跟非尼哈一起去。他们各代表在约旦河西岸定居的一个支族，都是宗族里的族长。

†[Kjv]And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.

†[Nkjv]and with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the chief house of every tribe of Israel; and each one was the head of the house of his father among the divisions of Israel.

†[BBE]And with him they sent ten chiefs, one for every tribe of the children of Israel, every one of them the head of his house among the families of Israel.

†[GNT] Ten leading men went with Phinehas, one from each of the western tribes and each one the head of a family among the clans.

†[NIV]With him they sent ten of the chief men, one for each of the tribes of Israel, each the head of a family division among the Israelite clans.

本会注释　　约旦河西的十个支派都有代表，加上利未支派的非尼哈。和他同去的都是军中的统领，也是各支派的领袖。这个阵容足以组成当地的最高法庭了。以色列人认为，那两个半支派可能严重违犯了上帝的律法。代表团的人员规格说明了事情的严重性。

书22:15 他们到了基列地，见流便人、迦得人，和玛拿西半支派的人，对他们说：

†[吕]他们到了基列地，去见如便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半族派的人，告诉他们说：

†[思]他们来到基肋阿得地方，见勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协半支派人，向他们说：

†[当代]他们来到基列，见到吕便人、迦得和玛拿西族一半的人，就对他们说：

　　要谨防对罪的松弛或苛刻
　　──一切基督徒都应留心避开两个极端，就是一方面对罪的松弛和另一方面对罪苛刻的审查和无根据的怀疑，那显得十分强烈攻击迦得人和流便人的以色列民是因为如何想起了亚干的事，上帝曾责备他们对发现存在他们中间的罪孽缺乏警惕性，因而他们便在后来决意采取迅速而认真的行动，可是他们既这样作了，就是走上了相对的极端道路，他们应当首先有礼貌地询问并获知事情的一切实况，而不要随便谴责他们的弟兄。
　　有许多被称为忍受错误控告的人，正如那些以色列人能以平静镇定而体谅的对待事情，因为他们是对的，他们以感恩的心记念上帝能知道一切被人误解的事，而且他们可以安然将一切事放在祂的手中和祂必然为他们辩护，好像祂查出亚干所隐藏的事一样。
　　如果人避开了一切错误的互相控告而代之以温柔和安慰的话语，必能防止了多少的罪恶呀！同时那些放纵不公正之怀疑来反对罪恶的人，他们应当设法取其最有利的观点对待他们的弟兄，并且在他们发现他们没有过失时，当为之欢喜快乐。（《时兆》1881.5.12）

书22:16 “耶和华全会众这样说，你们今日转去不跟从耶和华，干犯以色列的上帝，为自己筑一座坛，悖逆了耶和华，这犯的是什么罪呢？ (串)本章18,19|利17:8,9申12:13,14

†[吕]“永恒主的全会众这样说：‘你们对以色列的上帝不忠实，今日转离了永恒主，为自己筑了一座祭坛，背判了永恒主，你们这样不忠实是多么大的不忠实阿！

†[思]“上主的全会众这样说：你们相反以色列的天主，犯这不忠信的罪，有什么意思？为什么你们今天离开上主，另建立祭坛，公开背叛上主？

†[Xdv]就代表上主的全会众对他们说：“你们为什么做了这恶事冒犯以色列的上帝呢？你们为自己筑这祭坛，背叛了上主！你们不再跟从他了。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

†[Nkjv]"Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD: "What treachery is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel this day against the LORD?

†[BBE]This is what all the meeting of the people of the Lord has said, What is this wrong which you have done against the God of Israel, turning back this day from the Lord and building an altar for yourselves, and being false to the Lord?

†[GNT] and speaking for the whole community of the Lord, they said to them, "Why have you done this evil thing against the God of Israel? You have rebelled against the Lord by building this altar for yourselves! You are no longer following him!

†[NIV]The whole assembly of the Lord says: 'How could you break faith with the God of Israel like this? How could you turn away from the Lord and build yourselves an altar in rebellion against him now?

本会注释　　这件事不仅关系两个半支派，也关系到整个以色列民族。过去的经历表明，个人或群体的犯罪往往会向全民族追讨。非尼哈和他的同伴告戒他们要引以为戒，免得建造祭坛的人不受处罚，致使上帝把全体以色列人当做同谋而予以惩罚。但这九个半支派的指控只是凭着传说，所以要先进行调查。人容易对别人的行为产生误解。河西的支派误会了。但河东的支派也有错。他们应该把筑坛纪念的事通报自己的弟兄。可能他们没有料到会产生这样的谣言。避免误会乃是聪明之举。但单凭一面之辞就妄下结论肯定是不对的。

书22:17 从前拜毗珥的罪孽还算小吗？虽然瘟疫临到耶和华的会众，到今日我们还没有洗净这罪。 (串)民23:28

†[吕]从前拜巴力毗珥的罪愆、我们还以为是小事么？虽有疫病袭击了永恒主的会众、直到今日我们还末洁净以脱这罪呢。

†[思]以前敬拜培敖尔的罪过为我们还不够吗？为了那个罪过，灾祸降于上主的会众，直到今天，我们还没洗净：

†[当代]从前因为拜毗珥而惹来的灾祸，我们还受得不够吗？为了那一次罪过，瘟疫降到我们身上，直到今日，我们还没有洗净这罪。

†[新译]从前拜毗珥的罪孽，我们还以为是小事吗？虽然有灾疫临到耶和华的会众，直到今日我们还没有洗净这罪呢。

†[Wlb]昔拜毗珥之罪、我侪以为小乎、耶和华会众缘此遘疠、至今罪未尽免、

†[Xdv]你们还记得我们在批珥犯的罪吗？那时，上主用瘟疫惩罚自己的子民。我们到现在仍然为那件事受苦。难道这还不够吗？

†[Kjv]Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

†[Nkjv]Is the iniquity of Peor not enough for us, from which we are not cleansed till this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

†[BBE]Was not the sin of Baal-peor great enough, from which we are not clear even to this day, though punishment came on the people of the Lord,

†[GNT] Remember our sin at Peor, when the Lord punished his own people with an epidemic? We are still suffering because of that. Wasn't that sin enough?

†[NIV]Was not the sin of Peor enough for us? Up to this very day we have not cleansed ourselves from that sin, even though a plague fell on the community of the Lord !

本会注释　　毗珥的罪孽。见民25:1-9；申4:3。“罪孽”一词源于`awon ，有“犯罪”，“做错”之意。有人认为该词源于`awah ，意为“屈身”，“弯曲”。在斯1:16中`awah 译成“得罪”。所以`awon 既涉及犯罪，也涉及惩罚。
　　还没有洗净这罪。不知作者指的是什么情况。然而毗珥的罪孽所带来的羞愧和耻辱依然存在，而且一些上帝所不悦的标志可能还留在会众中。那一次死了两万四千人，这些不圣洁群体的后代还有留在百姓中的。想到死去的两万四千人，亲人们无疑心有余悸。家破人亡，和失去父亲的孤儿，是那场灾难的见证。这句话还暗示腐败的酵在某种程度上还留在他们中间，感染还没有完全根除，虽然得到暂时的抑制，但仍在暗中活动，有可能重新爆发，就像书24:14,23中所暗示的。罪恶不但在犯罪者的身上，也在他所影响的其他人身上留下痕迹。

书22:18 你们今日竟转去不跟从耶和华吗？你们今日既悖逆耶和华，明日他必向以色列全会众发怒。 (串)民16:22

†[吕]今日你们竟转离了永恒主呀？今日你们既背判了永恒主，明日他就必震怒以色列全会众了。

†[思]看，你们今天又要离开上主，你们今天违背上主，明天必向以色列全会众发怒。

†[当代]你们竟重蹈覆辙。今天你们背叛上帝，明天祂必向以色列全体人民发怒，

†[新译]你们今日竟转离不跟从耶和华吗？今日你们既然背叛耶和华，明日他必向以色列全体会众发怒了。

†[Wlb]尔今又欲转离、不从耶和华乎、今日悖逆耶和华、明日彼必怒以色列会众、

†[Xdv]你们现在要拒绝他，不跟从他吗？今天你们背叛上主，明天他就对以色列所有的人发怒。

†[Kjv]But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

†[Nkjv]but that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And it shall be, if you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

†[BBE]That now you are turned back from the Lord? and, because you are false to him today, tomorrow his wrath will be let loose on all the people of Israel.

†[GNT] Are you going to refuse to follow him now? If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with everyone in Israel tomorrow.

†[NIV]And are you now turning away from the Lord? " 'If you rebel against the Lord today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole community of Israel.

书22:19 你们所得为业之地，若嫌不洁净，就可以过到耶和华之地，就是耶和华的帐幕所住之地，在我们中间得地业。只是不可悖逆耶和华，也不可得罪我们，在耶和华我们上帝的坛以外为自己筑坛。 (串)书18:1

†[吕]不过你们所拥为业产之地如果不洁净，你们尽可以过来永恒主所拥为业产之地、他帐幕所居的地方，在我们中间取来拥得业产阿；却不可背判永恒主，也不可背弃我们，而在永恒主我们的上帝的祭坛以外、为自己筑了祭坛阿。

†[思]如果你们认为所得的地方不洁，可以回到上主的地方，上主帐幕的所在地，住在我们中间；决不可违背上主，激怒我们，在上主我们的祭坛以外，为自己另祭坛。

†[当代]如果你们认为自己的土地不洁净，你们就可以搬到我们这边来，跟我们一起居住，我们那里有上帝的会幕。只是你们千万不可以在上帝的祭坛以外，自己另筑祭坛，悖逆上帝，叫我们也要担当你们的罪。

†[新译]如果你们认为所得的地业不洁净，你们可以过到耶和华的地业，就是耶和华的帐幕居住的地方，在我们中间得地业；只是不可背叛耶和华，也不可背叛我们，在耶和华我们的　神的坛以外，为自己筑另一座坛。

†[Wlb]如尔所得之地、以为不洁、可归耶和华会幕所在之地、得业于我侪中、但除我上帝耶和华坛外、勿筑别坛、悖逆耶和华及我侪、

†[Xdv]如果你们的土地不洁净，不宜敬拜上主，那么，过这边来吧，到上主的圣幕停留的地方来向我们要求一点地。你们不可背叛上主，也不可背叛我们。不可在上主──我们上帝的祭坛以外另筑祭坛。

†[Kjv]Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

†[Nkjv]Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of the LORD, where the LORD's tabernacle stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God.

†[BBE]But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.

†[NIV]If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the Lord 's land, where the Lord 's tabernacle stands, and share the land with us. But do not rebel against the Lord or against us by building an altar for yourselves, other than the altar of the Lord our G

本会注释　　不洁净。指仪文上的不洁净，因为会幕不在那两个半支派中间。古人普遍认为，如果没有专门敬拜上帝的场所，就被视为不洁净。如果那两个半支派也这样想，那就放弃河东的土地，与其他属于主的支派同住吧。这里表现出一种慷慨无私的精神，宁愿作出牺牲，也要保持纯洁与和平。换一句话说，非尼哈和他的同伴希望把最重要的事放在首位。“你们要先求他的国和他的义，这些东西都要加给你们了”（太6:33）。可见河西的支派并没有认为非打仗不可，即使他们的弟兄犯了罪，除非他们顽固不化。
　　不可悖逆。上帝已经赐下典章和诫命来引导祂的子民。对于这些命令的任何偏离，尤其设立祭坛拜假神，实际上就是悖逆天上的上帝。上帝昨日和今日都是一样的（来13:8）。祂公义的原则也是永不改变的。虽然对违背上帝律法的追讨可能会推迟，但一切罪恶终必受到正义的惩罚。

书22:20 从前谢拉的曾孙亚干岂不是在那当灭的物上犯了罪，就有忿怒临到以色列全会众吗？那人在所犯的罪中不独一人死亡。” (串)书7:16-26|书7:1代上2:7

†[吕]从前谢拉的曾孙亚干岂不是在该被毁灭归神之物上不忠实，以致有上帝的震怒临到以色列全会众么？那人在他的罪愆中死亡，还不只是他一人而已呢。’”

†[思]以前则辣黑的子孙阿干，在应毁灭的财物上犯了不忠之罪，虽只他一人犯罪，忿怒岂不是临到以色列全会众？死在他罪过中的不只他一人”。

†[当代]从前谢拉的曾孙亚干私自留下那些上帝吩咐要毁灭的东西，连累我们全体受罪，因他的罪而死的，并不只他一个人啊！”

†[Wlb]昔谢拉裔亚干、岂非于当灭之物干罪、致怒及于以色列会众乎、是其人之罪、不独亡一人也、

†[Xdv]你们要记住谢拉的子孙亚干的事件。他不遵从命令，没有毁灭该毁灭的战利品，以色列全会众都为着这件事受处罚。亚干犯罪，连累了别人跟他一起死亡。”

†[Kjv]Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

†[Nkjv]Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity."'

†[BBE]Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, do wrong about the cursed thing, causing wrath to come on all the people of Israel? And not on him only came the punishment of death.

†[GNT] Remember how Achan son of Zerah refused to obey the command about the things condemned to destruction; the whole community of Israel was punished for that. Achan was not the only one who died because of his sin."

†[NIV]When Achan son of Zerah acted unfaithfully regarding the devoted things, did not wrath come upon the whole community of Israel? He was not the only one who died for his sin.' "

本会注释　　亚干的例子说明，一个人的罪可能会给全体会众带来上帝的不悦。因着他的罪，他和全家人都受到了惩罚，还有那些被艾城的军队杀死的人。如果他们原谅另立祭坛崇拜的事，上帝将会如何更加不喜悦以色列人呢？百姓对待这件事的态度是正确的，只是他们还没有把真相调查清楚，就急于提出指责。

书22:21 于是流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人回答以色列军中的统领说：

†[GNT] The people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh answered the heads of the families of the western tribes:

†[NIV]Then Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh replied to the heads of the clans of Israel:

本会注释　　在面临指责的时候能回答温柔是很不容易的。这一次双方都有可称道之处。当指责的一方发现自己错了，他们没有转过来责备弟兄不谨慎，尽管他们可以这样做。受指责的一方证明了自己的清白以后，没有用急噪，粗鲁和不公正的话来回应自己的弟兄。这是一个“回答柔和，使怒消退”（箴15:1）的范例。如果大家都能接受这个教训，生活中可以避免多少不快的事啊！

书22:22 “大能者上帝耶和华！大能者上帝耶和华！他是知道的！以色列人也必知道！我们若有悖逆的意思，或是干犯耶和华（愿你今日不保佑我们）， (串)王上8:39诗94:11

本会注释　　在这里上帝的三种称呼'El（埃洛），'Elohim（埃洛希姆），和Yahweh（亚卫），按上述的顺序说了两次，也可译为“万神之神，耶和华”，均带有强烈的祈求语气，通常用于重大的场合。两个半支派对于所受的指责大感震惊。两次重迭呼吁真神的名称，说明他们对这件事的关切和重视。

书22:23 为自己筑坛，要转去不跟从耶和华，或是要将燔祭、素祭、平安祭献在坛上，愿耶和华亲自讨我们的罪。 (串)申18:19撒上20:16

†[吕]如果不忠实，而为自己筑祭坛，要转离了永恒主；如果要在祭坛上献上燔祭和素祭，如果要在祭坛上献平安祭，但愿永恒主亲自讨罚我们的罪。

†[思]如果我们建这祭坛，有意离开上主，或有意在坛上献全燔祭、素祭或和平祭，愿上主自己惩罚我们！

†[GNT] If we disobeyed the Lord and built our own altar to burn sacrifices on or to use for grain offerings or fellowship offerings, let the Lord himself punish us.

†[NIV]If we have built our own altar to turn away from the Lord and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the Lord himself call us to account.

本会注释　　亲自讨我们的罪。也可以译为“愿耶和华亲自鉴察”。他们两次呼吁创造主的三重名称，说明这两个半支派愿意将这件事交在上帝手中，即使丧失性命，也在所不辞。他们用这样正面的语气向代表们保证了他们造坛动机的纯正。

†[Xdv]事实不是这样。我们这样做是因为怕将来你们的子孙会对我们的子孙说：‘你们跟上主──以色列的上帝有什么关系？

†[Kjv]And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

†[Nkjv]But in fact we have done it for fear, for a reason, saying, "In time to come your descendants may speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with the LORD God of Israel?

†[BBE]And if we have not, in fact, done this designedly and with purpose, having in our minds the fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?

†[GNT] No! We did it because we were afraid that in the future your descendants would say to ours, "What do you have to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?

†[NIV]No! We did it for fear that some day your descendants might say to ours, 'What do you have to do with the Lord , the God of Israel?

本会注释　　两个半支派开始解释他们忧虑的原因。将来他们的后裔由于远离耶和华的会幕，恐怕会被以色列会众视为外人。他们在回家的路上想到了修建一座纪念物。如果他们事先想到了，是会告诉约书亚的。他们担心自己的子孙会被其他支派的人认为不关心上帝的祭坛。河东的支派目前是会被当作弟兄，像其他支派一样在会幕受到欢迎的，但他们的后裔会不会被排斥呢？因为路途遥远，他们不可能像其他支派那样拜访会幕。他们会不会慢慢与整体分离呢？这就会导致他们子孙的冷漠而失去信仰。为了防止这种情况，并有一个永久的见证证明他们是以色列的一部分，这两个半支派的人就在约旦河边筑了一座大坛，让两岸的人都能看见。

书22:25 因为耶和华把约但河定为我们和你们这流便人、迦得人的交界，你们与耶和华无分了。’这样，你们的子孙就使我们的子孙不再敬畏耶和华了。

†[吕]如便人、迦得人哪，永恒主立约但河在我们与你们之间为界限；你们对于永恒主是没有分的了’；这样，你们的子孙就使我们的子孙不再敬畏永恒主了。

†[思]天主定了约但河为我们和你们勒乌本和和得人之间的界限，你们和上主已没有分子。这样你们的子孙必使我们的的子孙不再敬畏上主。

†[当代]上帝早已经把约旦河定为我们跟你们吕便和迦得人的边界，上帝与你们是一点关系也没有了。’这样，你们的子孙必会使我们的子孙不再敬畏上帝了。

†[新译]流本人和迦得人啊，耶和华定了约旦河作我们和你们中间的疆界；你们与耶和华无分了。’这样，你们的子孙就使我们的子孙不再敬畏耶和华了。

†[Wlb]尔流便人、迦得人欤、耶和华既定约但为尔我之界、尔与耶和华无与、如是、尔裔必使我裔不寅畏耶和华、

†[Xdv]他以约旦河作为我们跟你们流便、迦得人之间的界线；你们跟上主没有关系。’那时，你们的子孙恐怕会禁止我们的子孙敬拜上主了。

†[Kjv]For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

†[Nkjv]For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between you and us, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no part in the LORD." So your descendants would make our descendants cease fearing the LORD.'

†[BBE]For the Lord has made Jordan a line of division between us and you, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad; you have no part in the Lord: so your children will make our children give up fearing the Lord.

†[GNT] He made the Jordan a boundary between us and you people of Reuben and Gad. You have nothing to do with the Lord.' Then your descendants might make our descendants stop worshiping the Lord.

†[NIV]The Lord has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you-you Reubenites and Gadites! You have no share in the Lord .' So your descendants might cause ours to stop fearing the Lord .

书22:26 因此我们说：‘不如为自己筑一座坛，不是为献燔祭，也不是为献别的祭，

†[吕]因此我们说：‘我们来筑座祭坛吧！不是为了献燔祭，也不是为了献别的祭，

†[思]因此我们想：我们还是建一座祭坛，不是为献全燔祭，也不是为祭献牺牲，

†[当代]因此，我们便商议在这里筑一座祭坛，这坛不是用来献祭，

†[新译]“因此我们说：‘我们筑一座坛吧，不是为了献燔祭，也不是为了献别的祭，

†[Wlb]故曰、不如筑坛、非为献燔祭或他祭、

†[Xdv]所以我们造了一座祭坛，不是要献烧化祭或祭物，

†[Kjv]Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

†[Nkjv]Therefore we said, "Let us now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice,

†[BBE]So we said, Let us now make an altar for ourselves, not for burned offerings or for the offerings of beasts:

†[GNT] So we built an altar, not to burn sacrifices or make offerings,

†[NIV]That is why we said, 'Let us get ready and build an altar-but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.'

书22:27 乃是为你我中间和你我后人中间作证据，好叫我们也在耶和华面前献燔祭、平安祭，和别的祭事奉他，免得你们的子孙日后对我们的子孙说，你们与耶和华无分了。’ (串)创31:48本章34书24:27|申12:5-7,17,18

†[吕]乃是为了做证据，在我们与你们之间做证据，也在你我以后的世代之间、做证据，好使我们也可以在永恒主面前用我们的燔祭、和别的祭、跟平安祭来事奉永恒主，免得你们的子孙日后对我们的子孙说：“你们对于永恒主没有分了。”’

†[思]只是为在你我之间，在你我后人之间作一证据，证明我们愿在上主面前以全燔祭牺牲及和平祭敬礼上主，免得日后你们的子孙对我们的子孙说：你们与上主已没有分子。

†[当代]只是在你我之间，也在彼此的后人中间设立个证据，叫我们知道在上帝面前献燔祭和感恩祭，那么，倘若日后你们的子孙对我们的子孙说：‘上帝与你们一点关系也没有。’

†[新译]而是为了在你们和我们中间，也在我们的后代中间作证据，使我们也可以在耶和华面前用燔祭、别的祭和平安祭事奉耶和华，免得你们的子孙将来对我们的子孙说：你们与耶和华无分了。’

†[Wlb]惟在尔我间、及尔我之裔间为证、使我亦以燔祭、酬恩祭、及他祭、供事于耶和华前、免日后尔裔谓我裔曰、尔与耶和华无与、

†[Xdv]而是要在你我之间，以及世世代代，作为证据，证明我们确实在上主的圣幕里献了烧化祭，以及其它的祭物和平安祭。我们敬拜他，免得你们的子孙说，我们的子孙跟上主无关。

†[Kjv]But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.

†[Nkjv]but that it may be a witness between you and us and our generations after us, that we may perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your descendants may not say to our descendants in time to come, "You have no part in the LORD."'

†[BBE]But to be a witness between us and you, and between the future generations, that we have the right of worshipping the Lord with our burned offerings and our offerings of beasts and our peace-offerings; so that your children will not be able to say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the Lord.

†[GNT] but instead, as a sign for our people and yours, and for the generations after us, that we do indeed worship the Lord before his sacred Tent with our offerings to be burned and with sacrifices and fellowship offerings. This was to keep your descendants f

†[NIV]On the contrary, it is to be a witness between us and you and the generations that follow, that we will worship the Lord at his sanctuary with our burnt offerings, sacrifices and fellowship offerings. Then in the future your descendants will not be able t

书22:28 所以我们说：‘日后你们对我们，或对我们的后人这样说，我们就可以回答说，你们看我们列祖所筑的坛是耶和华坛的样式；这并不是为献燔祭，也不是为献别的祭，乃是为作你我中间的证据。’

†[吕]因此我们说：日后他们若对我们或我们的后代这样说，我们就可以说：‘你们看我们先祖所造的永恒主祭坛的模型，这并不是为了献燔祭，也不是为了献别的祭，乃是为了在我们与你们之间做证据阿。’

†[思]因此我们想：日后如有人对我们或我们的子孙说，我们可以回答说：你们试看我们的祖先所的上主的祭坛的式样，不是为献全燔祭，也不是为献牺牲，而是为作你我之间的证据。

†[当代]那时，我们的子孙便可指著这座祭坛回答说：‘你看，我们祖宗所筑的祭坛，跟你们的祭坛一模一样，只是这座坛不是用来献祭的，而是作为你我之间的证据的！’

†[新译]因此我们说：‘将来有人对我们，或是对我们的后代这样说，我们就可以回答：你们看我们列祖所筑的坛，是耶和华的祭坛的模式，这并不是用来献燔祭，也不是用来献别的祭，而是在我们和你们中间作证据。’

†[Wlb]故曰、日后有人以此问我、或我后裔、则可答曰、试观我祖所筑耶和华坛之式、非为献燔祭及他祭、惟在尔我间为证而已、

†[Xdv]这是我们的主意。如果将来真的发生了这事，我们的子孙就可以说：‘看哪，我们的祖先造了一座祭坛，跟上主的祭坛一样，不是要献烧化祭或其它的祭物，而是要在你我之间作为证据的。’

†[Kjv]Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.

†[Nkjv]Therefore we said that it will be, when they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, "Here is the replica of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between you and us.'

†[BBE]For we said to ourselves, If they say this to us or to future generations, then we will say, See this copy of the Lord's altar which our fathers made, not for burned offerings or offerings of beasts, but for a witness between us and you.

†[GNT] It was our idea that, if this should ever happen, our descendants could say, "Look! Our ancestors made an altar just like the Lord's altar. It was not for burning offerings or for sacrifice, but as a sign for our people and yours.'

†[NIV]And we said, 'If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the Lord 's altar, which our fathers built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.'

本会注释　　这座祭坛是完全按照示罗的样式建造的，证明他们和在原坛献祭的人承认和侍奉同一位上帝。为了引人注目，它的尺寸可能要大得多，但其样式和比例都和原先是一样的。

书22:29 我们在耶和华我们上帝帐幕前的坛以外，另筑一座坛，为献燔祭、素祭，和别的祭，悖逆耶和华，今日转去不跟从他，我们断没有这个意思。”

†[吕]若说我们今日要背叛永恒主，要转离了永恒主，才来在他帐幕前永恒主我们的上帝的祭坛以外另行筑座祭坛、以献燔祭素祭和别的祭，那我们是绝对没有这个意思的。”

†[思]我们今天没有意思违背上主，离开上主，在上主我们天主的帐幕前的祭坛以外，为献全祭、素祭和牺牲，另建立一祭坛。”

†[当代]我们根本没有打算悖逆上帝，离弃上帝，在主我们上帝的会幕前的祭坛以外，另筑祭坛来献祭。”

†[新译]我们决没有背叛耶和华的意思，今日要转离不跟从耶和华，在耶和华我们的　神的帐幕前的祭坛以外，另筑一座坛，为了献燔祭、素祭和别的祭。”

†[Wlb]我今决不悖逆耶和华、转离不从之、在我上帝耶和华幕前之坛外、更筑他坛、以献燔祭素祭及他祭、

†[Xdv]我们绝不会背叛上主，或造祭坛去献烧化祭、素祭，和其它的祭物，违背了他。除了在上主──我们上帝的圣幕前的祭坛外，我们不造任何祭坛。”

†[Kjv]God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

†[Nkjv]Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn from following the LORD this day, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the LORD our God which is before His tabernacle."

†[BBE]Never let it be said that we were false to the Lord, turning back this day from him and building an altar for burned offerings and meal offerings and offerings of beasts, in addition to the altar of the Lord our God which is before his House.

†[GNT] We would certainly not rebel against the Lord or stop following him now by building an altar to burn offerings on or for grain offerings or sacrifices. We would not build any other altar than the altar of the Lord our God that stands in front of the Tent

†[NIV]Far be it from us to rebel against the Lord and turn away from him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings and sacrifices, other than the altar of the Lord our God that stands before his tabernacle."

书22:30 祭司非尼哈与会中的首领，就是与他同来以色列军中的统领，听见流便人、迦得人、玛拿西人所说的话，就都以为美。

†[吕]祭司非尼哈和会众的首领、跟以色列族系中（同词：千夫）的领袖、就是和他们同来的、听见了如便人、迦得人、和玛拿西人所说的话，都很满意。

†[思]司祭丕乃哈斯和同他同来的会众的首领，即以色列人的族长，听了勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协人所的话，都表示满意。

†[当代]祭司非尼哈和在场的人都非常满意他们的解释，

†[新译]非尼哈祭司和会众的领袖，以及与祭司同来的以色列的统领，听了流本人、迦得人和玛拿西人说的话，都很满意。

†[Wlb]祭司非尼哈、及所偕会众之牧伯、即以色列亿兆之族长、闻流便迦得玛拿西人之言则悦、

†[Xdv]祭司非尼哈和跟他在一起的十个首领，就是定居在约旦河西岸各支族的族长们，听到流便、迦得，和东玛拿西支族的人所说的话，都满意。

†[Kjv]And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.

†[Nkjv]Now when Phinehas the priest and the rulers of the congregation, the heads of the divisions of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.

†[BBE]Then Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the meeting and the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, hearing what the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh said, were pleased.

†[GNT] Phinehas the priest and the ten leading men of the community who were with him, the heads of families of the western tribes, heard what the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh had to say, and they were satisfied.

†[NIV]When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the community-the heads of the clans of the Israelites-heard what Reuben, Gad and Manasseh had to say, they were pleased.

本会注释　　他们此行的目的是为了上帝的荣耀，而不是自己的荣耀。现在事实已经澄清。虽然证明是他们错了，他们还是很高兴。上帝是兄弟之间情谊的真正纽带。如果我们是真正的弟兄，那么弟兄的耻辱和痛苦就是我们的耻辱和痛苦。我们会真心希望还他们以清白。如果约旦河西的支派怀着自私的动机，他们就会对弟兄的过错幸灾乐祸，千方百计挑剔别人。基督徒有时过于自恃，极力想压倒想象中的对手，而不是主持正义。人越亲近上帝，就越愿意承认了自己过错，而不是强辞夺理。

书22:31 祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈对流便人、迦得人、玛拿西人说：“今日我们知道耶和华在我们中间，因为你们没有向他犯了这罪。现在你们救以色列人脱离耶和华的手了。” (串)本章13,14,32|利26:11,12

†[吕]祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈对如便人、迦得人、玛拿西人说：“今天我们才知道永恒主究竟在我们中间，因为你们对永恒主并没有这样不忠实；现在你们简直是援救了以色列人脱离永恒主的手了。”

†[思]厄肋阿匝尔的儿子丕乃哈斯司祭对勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协人说：“今天我们知道上主是在我们中间，因为你们对上主没有犯过这样不忠信的罪，现在你们由上主手中救了以色列子民。”

†[当代]非尼哈说：“我知道上帝是在我们当中，因为你们没有对主不忠。”

†[新译]以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈对流本人、迦得人和玛拿西人说：“今天我们知道耶和华是在我们中间的，因为你们并没有对耶和华不忠；现在你们已经救了以色列人脱离耶和华的手。”

†[Wlb]祭司以利亚撒子非尼哈、谓流便迦得玛拿西人曰、我今日知耶和华在我侪中、因尔未干罪于耶和华、援以色列人脱于耶和华手、

†[Xdv]祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈对他们说：“现在我们知道，上主跟我们同在；你们并没有背叛他。因此，你们救了以色列人，使他们不至受上主的惩罚。”

†[Kjv]And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh, "This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

†[BBE]And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh, Now we are certain that the Lord is among us, because you have not done this wrong against the Lord: and you have kept us from falling into the hands of the Lord.

†[GNT] Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to them, "Now we know that the Lord is with us. You have not rebelled against him, and so you have saved the people of Israel from the Lord's punishment."

†[NIV]And Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to Reuben, Gad and Manasseh, "Today we know that the Lord is with us, because you have not acted unfaithfully toward the Lord in this matter. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the Lord 's hand."

本会注释　　现在（'az ）。强调事情已经发生了。一般译为“之后”。这里译为“结果”更好一些。说明行为的结果。全句可理解为：“结果，你们没有给我们带来所担心的严厉惩处，反而使我们摆脱了所害怕的刑罚。”

书22:32 祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈与众首领离了流便人、迦得人，从基列地回往迦南地，到了以色列人那里，便将这事回报他们。

†[吕]祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈和首领们、离开了如便人和迦得人，从基列地回迦南地，到了以色列人那里，向他们报告，

†[思]厄肋阿匝尔的儿子丕乃哈斯司祭和首领便离开勒乌本人、加得人和默纳协半支派的人，从基肋阿得地方回到客纳罕地见以色列子民，给他们报告了这事。

†[当代]他说完了，便率领众领袖回迦南，向以色列人报告这事。

†[新译]以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈和众领袖离开了流本人和迦得人，从基列地回到迦南地以色列人那里，把这事向他们报告。

†[Wlb]祭司以利亚撒子非尼哈、与诸牧伯、别流便迦得人、离基列、返迦南、见以色列人而覆之、

†[Xdv]于是非尼哈和首领们离开基列地的流便和迦得人民，回迦南向以色列人民报告。

†[Kjv]And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

†[Nkjv]And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the rulers, returned from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought back word to them.

†[BBE]Then Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, and the chiefs went back from the land of Gilead, from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and came to the children of Israel in Canaan and gave them the news.

†[GNT] Then Phinehas and the leaders left the people of Reuben and Gad in the land of Gilead and went back to Canaan, to the people of Israel, and reported to them.

†[NIV]Then Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, and the leaders returned to Canaan from their meeting with the Reubenites and Gadites in Gilead and reported to the Israelites.

书22:33 以色列人以这事为美，就称颂上帝，不再提上去攻打流便人、迦得人、毁坏他们所住的地了。 (串)本章30|代上29:20尼8:6但2:19,20路2:28

†[吕]以色列人对这事都很满意，就祝颂上帝，不再说要上去跟他们打仗了，不再说要毁坏如便人和迦得人所住的地了。

†[思]以色列子民对这报告都表示满意，遂颂扬上主，不再想作战攻打勒乌本人和加得人，毁灭他们所住的地方。

†[当代]大家听了以后，都很满意，他们便颂赞上帝，打消了出兵讨伐的念头。

†[新译]以色列人对这事都很满意，就称颂　神，不再说要上去讨伐流本人和迦得人，毁灭他们所住的地方了。

†[Wlb]以色列人亦悦之、颂美上帝、不复言往攻流便迦得人、毁其所居之地、

†[Xdv]以色列人民都很满意，并且赞美上帝。他们不再提起要破坏流便和迦得人居住的土地了。

†[Kjv]And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

†[Nkjv]So the thing pleased the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God; they spoke no more of going against them in battle, to destroy the land where the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

†[BBE]And the children of Israel were pleased about this; and they gave praise to God, and had no more thought of going to war against the children of Reuben and the children of Gad for the destruction of their land.

†[GNT] The Israelites were satisfied and praised God. They no longer talked about going to war to devastate the land where the people of Reuben and Gad had settled.

†[NIV]They were glad to hear the report and praised God. And they talked no more about going to war against them to devastate the country where the Reubenites and the Gadites lived.

本会注释　　不再提。该词在撒下21:16有类似的用法：“以实比诺…要杀大卫”。原文是“说要杀大卫”，表示目的和意图。这里也是如此。百姓放弃了“上去”的打算。代表们的陈述使他们相信没有必要再那样做了。

书22:34 流便人、迦得人给坛起名叫证坛，意思说：这坛在我们中间证明耶和华是上帝。 (串)本章27

†[吕]如便人和迦得人把那祭坛叫作证坛，意思是说：“这坛在我们之间做证据、证实永恒主乃是上帝。”

†[思]勒乌本人和加得人给那祭坛起名叫“赫得，”因为他们说：“这祭坛在我们中间证明上主是真天主。”

†[当代]吕便和迦得两族人给那座祭坛取名叫“证坛”，意思是这坛在我们中间证明主是上帝。

†[新译]流本人和迦得人给那坛起名叫证坛，因为他们说：“这坛在我们中间证明耶和华是　神。”

†[Wlb]流便迦得人名其坛曰证、盖曰耶和华为上帝、是坛于尔我间为证也、

†[Xdv]流便人和迦得人说：“这座祭坛向我们作证，证明上主是上帝。”因此，他们叫这座坛为“证坛”。

†[Kjv]And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.

†[Nkjv]The children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar, Witness, "For it is a witness between us that the LORD is God."

†[BBE]And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave to that altar the name of Ed. For, they said, It is a witness between us that the Lord is God.

†[GNT] The people of Reuben and Gad said, "This altar is a witness to all of us that the Lord is God." And so they named it "Witness."

†[NIV]And the Reubenites and the Gadites gave the altar this name: A Witness Between Us that the Lord is God.

本会注释　　证坛（Ed）。意为“证据”。该词在原文中没有出现，至少在一般的抄本中没有，而是出现在一些后来的抄本中，并出现在叙利亚，阿拉伯译本和七十士译本中。七十士译本为：“约书亚给流便人，迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人所造的坛起了名字，并说：‘这要在他们中间为证据，证明耶和华是他们的上帝。’”KJV版本的Ed采用了斜体。
　　本章的事件有着一些重要的教训：第一，再好的动机有时也会引起误会和怀疑，所以要尽力避免呈现不良的形象。第二，出于虔诚之心关注弟兄，要比漠不关心他们的得救好得多。第三，当我们受到误会时，先要镇定地倾听，再谦卑地进行辩护。正直的人始终能保持冷静，并为他人着想。
