⁹西緬人的地業是從猶大人地業中得來的；因為猶大人的分過多，所以西緬人在他們的地業中得了地業。The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the territory of Judah, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them. So the Simeonites received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.

⁴⁸這些城並屬城的村莊就是但支派按著宗族所得的地業。This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Dan, including these cities and their villages.

約書亞的產業

⁴⁹以色列人按著境界分完了地業，就在他們中間將地給嫩的兒子約書亞為業，When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

⁵⁰是照耶和華的吩咐，將約書亞所求的城，就是以法蓮山地的亭拿‧西拉城，給了他。他就修那城，住在其中。as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the city of Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, as he requested. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.

⁵¹這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，在示羅會幕門口，耶和華面前，拈鬮所分的地業。這樣，他們把地分完了。These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.

設立逃城

¹耶和華曉諭約書亞說：Then the LORD said to Joshua,

²「你吩咐以色列人說：你們要照著我藉摩西所曉諭你們的，為自己設立逃城，“Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,

³使那無心而誤殺人的，可以逃到那裡。這些城可以作你們逃避報血仇人的地方。so that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

⁴那殺人的要逃到這些城中的一座城，站在城門口，將他的事情說給城內的長老們聽。他們就把他收進城裡，給他地方，使他住在他們中間。When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before its elders, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them.

⁵若是報血仇的追了他來，長老不可將他交在報血仇的手裡；因為他是素無仇恨，無心殺了人的。Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not surrender the manslayer into his hand, because that man killed his neighbor accidentally without prior malice.

⁶他要住在那城裡，站在會眾面前聽審判，等到那時的大祭司死了，殺人的才可以回到本城本家，就是他所逃出來的那城。」He is to stay in that city until he stands trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest serving at that time. Then the manslayer may return to his own home in the city from which he fled.”

六座逃城

⁷於是，以色列人在拿弗他利山地分定加利利的基低斯；在以法蓮山地分定示劍；在猶大山地分定基列‧亞巴（基列‧亞巴就是希伯崙）；So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

⁸又在約旦河外耶利哥東，從流便支派中，在曠野的平原，設立比悉；從迦得支派中設立基列的拉末；從瑪拿西支派中設立巴珊的哥蘭。And beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho, they designated Bezer on the wilderness plateau from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.

⁹這都是為以色列眾人和在他們中間寄居的外人所分定的城邑，使誤殺人的都可以逃到那裡，不死在報血仇人的手中，等他站在會眾面前聽審判。These are the cities appointed for all the Israelites and foreigners among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.

差遣七十個人

¹這事以後，主又設立七十個人，差遣他們兩個兩個地在他前面，往自己所要到的各城各地方去，After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

莊稼多，工人少

²就對他們說：「要收的莊稼多，做工的人少。所以，你們當求莊稼的主打發工人出去收他的莊稼。And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.

Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

²²一切所有的都是我父交付我的；除了父，沒有人知道子是誰；除了子和子所願意指示的，沒有人知道父是誰。」All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
