约书亚记 18

Studie

   

1 以色列的会众聚集在示罗,把会幕设立在那里,那已经被他们制伏了。

2 以色列人中其馀的个支派还没有分给他们地业。

3 约书亚对以色列人耶和华─你们列祖的所赐你们的,你们耽延不去得,要到几时呢?

4 你们每支派当选举个人,我要打发他们去,他们就要起身走遍那,按着各支派应得的明(或作:画图),就回到我这里

5 他们要将地分做分;犹大仍在方,住在他的境内。约瑟家仍在北方,住在他的境内。

6 你们要将分做分,明了拿到我这里。我要在耶和华─我们面前,为你们拈阄。

7 利未人在你们中间没有分,因为供耶和华祭司的职任就是他们的产业。迦得支派、流便支派,和玛拿西半支派已经在约但河东得了地业,就是耶和华仆人摩西他们的。

8 势的人起身去的时候,约书亚嘱咐他们说:你们去走遍那,划明势,就回到我这里来。我要在示罗这里,耶和华面前,为你们拈阄。

9 他们就去了,走遍那,按着城邑分做分,在册子上,回到示罗中见约亚。

10 约书亚就在示罗,耶和华面前,为他们拈阄。约书亚在那里,按着以色列人的支派,将分给他们。

11 便雅悯支派,按着宗族拈阄所得之地,是在犹大、约瑟子孙中间。

12 他们的界是从约但河起,往上贴近耶利哥边;又往西通过地,直到伯亚文的旷野

13 从那里往接连到路斯,贴近路斯(路斯就是伯特利),又到亚他绿亚达,靠近伯和仑边的

14 从那里往西,又向南,从伯和仑对面的,直达到犹大人的城基列巴力(基列巴力就是基列耶琳);这是西界。

15 界是从基列耶琳的尽边起,往西达到尼弗多亚的水源;

16 到欣嫩子对面的尽边,就是利乏音边的;又到欣嫩,贴近耶布斯的边;又到隐罗结;

17 又往通到隐示麦,达到亚都冥坡对面的基利绿;又到流便之子波罕的磐

18 又接连到亚拉巴对面,往到亚拉巴;

19 又接连到伯曷拉的边,直通到汊,就是约但河的头;这是界。

20 东界是约但河。这是便雅悯人按着宗族,照他们四围的交界所得的地业。

21 便雅悯支派按着宗族所得的城邑就是:耶利哥、伯曷拉、伊麦基悉、

22 伯亚拉巴、洗玛脸、伯特利

23 亚文、巴拉、俄弗拉、

24 基法阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴,共十二座城,还有属城的村庄

25 又有基遍拉玛、比录、

26 米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、

27 利坚、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、

28 洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯(耶布斯就是耶路撒冷)、基比亚、基列,共十四座城,还有属城的村庄。这是便雅悯人按着宗族所得的地业。

Seven

  

Seven, as in Revelation 15:1, signifies everything in an universal sense. The number 'seven' was considered holy, as is well known, because of the six days of creation, and the seventh, which is the celestial self, where peace, rest, and the Sabbath is. The number seven occurs so frequently in the rites of the Jewish church and is held holy everywhere.

So times were divided into seven, longer and shorter intervals, and were called weeks, like the great intervals of times till the coming of the Messiah, in Daniel 9:24-25. The time of seven years is called 'a week' by Laban and Jacob, as in Genesis 29:27-28. So wherever the number seven occurs, it is considered holy and sacred, as in Psalm 119:164, and in Isaiah 30:26.

As the periods of a person's regeneration are distinguished into six, prior to the seventh, or the celestial self, so the times of vastation are also distinguished, until nothing celestial is left. This was represented by the many captivities of the Jews, and by the last Babylonian captivity, which lasted seven decades, or seventy years. This was also represented by Nebuchadnezzar, in Daniel 4:16, 22, 29. It also refers to the vastation of the end times, in Revelation 15:1, 7-8. They should 'tread the holy city under foot, forty and two months, or six times seven,' as in Revelation 11:2 and Revelation 5:1. So the severity and increments of punishment were expressed by the number seven, as in Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28 and Psalm 79:12.
