约书亚记19:最后六个支派得到他们的领土，约书亚得到他的遗产。

本章是七章中的最后一章，详细说明了各支派之间对迦南地的划分。在本章中，剩下的六个支派得到了他们的份额。

西缅得到的土地在南方非常多，低于犹大的土地，西缅的领土成为犹大的一部分。西缅的意思是 "听"。聆听主，聆听真理，意味着想要顺从主的教导而生活。西缅在圣经早期事件中很重要，但后来很少被提及；顺从主可以而且应该是一件安静的事情（见瑞典堡的作品。 破解啟示錄87).

赐给西布伦的地区不大，朝北，在加利利海和海岸之间。西布伦的名字意思是 "高举和尊贵的地方"，它的属灵含义也同样荣耀：它指的是通过我们的生活方式来尊崇主，无论是内在的还是外在的（见瑞典堡的 天堂和地狱390).

伊萨迦的领地是北部一个小的、肥沃的地区，紧邻约旦河。以萨迦这个名字的意思是 "受雇的人 "或 "受雇的人"。在灵性上，这是关于想要服侍主，并将我们的生命奉献给这个。然后我们被 "雇用 "成为主的仆人，并得到属灵的力量、喜乐和祝福的回报（见瑞典堡的 天国的秘密6388).

亚设的意思是 "快乐"--一个令人愉快的名字--它的领土是沿着北部海岸线，向内陆延伸。它包括迦密山和沙仑平原，都是美丽的地方。精神上的幸福是相当深刻的，实际上是一种快乐、满足和幸福的感觉。当我们在精神上感到幸福时，我们就会为活着感到高兴，为认识主感到高兴，为因神而做善事感到高兴(天国的秘密6408).

拿弗他利的领土从加利利海一直到北部边界。拿弗他利的意思是 "狡猾的，狡猾的"，听起来不是很属天。然而，其意思是，我们利用我们的智慧，从我们每一天所做的无数决定中带来属天的结果。在《圣经》的早期，拿弗他利得到了祝福，被称为 "一只被放生的鹿"，然后它就可以自由地束手就擒（见 创世记49:21, 天国的秘密3928).

但有两个小领地：一个在海岸的中心，一个在约旦河源头附近的遥远北方。但的意思是 "好好判断"，它代表了我们需要公平地对待人们，因为我们与主的关系。也许有两个领地是因为一个是我们的思想（北方），另一个是生活中（中央）(天国的秘密3923).

最后，约书亚自己得到了他的遗产，在以法莲的一个地方，叫做提姆纳特-塞拉。这个名字的意思是 "额外的部分"，这表明在约书亚所做的一切之外，他还将得到更多的东西。在灵性上，这可能是我们在全心全意服侍主时得到的意外之喜(天国的秘密995[3]).

获得一部分土地的属灵意义是，我们能够经历来自主的祝福和恩惠，但只有在我们 "征服了土地 "之后。这意味着在我们的自然生活中，通过我们的试探和克服弱点来工作。

由于迦南地代表天国--也代表天国在我们身上的成长--十二个支派中的每一个都代表天国生活的一个部分，需要在我们身上活跃起来。我们必须学习聆听主的话语，在我们的日常行为中做好判断，并通过我们的生活方式荣耀他的名字。

1298. 'They had brick for stone' means that they had falsity in place of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'brick' as falsity, dealt with just above, and also from the meaning of 'stone' in the broad sense as truth, dealt with already in 643. The reason 'stones' meant truth was that the most ancient people used to mark out boundaries by means of stones and raise up stones to testify that something was so, that is, was the truth. This is clear from the stone which Jacob set up as a pillar, Genesis 28:22; 35:14; from the pillar of stones placed between Laban and Jacob, Genesis 31:46-47, 52; and from the altar which the children of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh erected beside the Jordan as an altar of witness, Joshua 22:10, 28, 34. Consequently 'stones' in the Word means truths, so much so that not only the stones of the altar but also the precious stones in the shoulder-pieces of Aaron's ephod and in the breastplate of judgement meant the holy truths of love.

[2] Regarding the altar, when sacrificial worship on altars was introduced, an altar in that case meant representative worship of the Lord in general. 'The stones' themselves however meant the holy truths belonging to that worship. This was why it was commanded that the altar had to be built of whole and not of hewn stones, and why it was forbidden to use any iron tool on them, Deuteronomy 27:5-7; Joshua 8:31. The reason was that hewn stones, and those on which an iron tool had been used, meant artificialities and thus fabrications in worship. That is to say, they meant things that derive from the proprium, or from the inventions of man's own thought and heart, which was to profane worship, as is clearly stated in Exodus 20:25. For the same reason no tool of iron was used on the stones of the Temple, 1 Kings 6:7.

[3] That the precious stones set in the shoulder-pieces of Aaron's ephod and in the breastplate of judgement in a similar way meant holy truths has been shown already in 114. This is clear also in Isaiah,

Behold, I will set your stones in carbuncle and lay your foundations in sapphires; and I will make your suns (windows) of ruby, and your gates into precious stones, and all your border into pleasant stones And all your sons will be taught by Jehovah, and great will be the peace of your sons. Isaiah 54:11-13

The stones mentioned here stand for holy truths, and this is why it is said that 'all your sons will be taught by Jehovah'. It is also the reason why it is said in John that the foundations of the wall of the city, holy Jerusalem, were adorned with every kind of precious stone, which are each mentioned by name, Revelation 21:19-20. 'The holy Jerusalem' stands for the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, the foundations of which kingdom are holy truths. Holy truths were similarly meant by the tables of stone on which the commandments of the Law, or Ten Commandments, were written. This was why they were made of stone or had a stone base, concerning which see Exodus 24:12; 31:18; 34:1; Deuteronomy 5:22; 10:1; for the commandments themselves are nothing else than truths of faith.

[4] Now because stones in ancient times meant truths, and because later on when worship on pillars, on altars, and in the Temple began, pillars, altars, and the Temple meant holy truths, the Lord also is therefore called 'a Stone': In Moses,

The Mighty One of Jacob - from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel. Genesis 49:24.

In Isaiah,

The Lord Jehovih said, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tested Corner-Stone, precious, of sure foundation. Isaiah 28:16.

In David,

The Stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner Psalms 118:22.

The same is meant in Daniel 2:34-35, 45, by the stone cut out of the rock which smashed Nebuchadnezzar's statue to pieces.

[5] That 'stones' means truths is clear in Isaiah,

By this the iniquity of Jacob will be expiated, and this will be the full fruit to remove his sin, when He makes all the stones of the altar like chalk-stones scattered about. Isaiah 27:9.

'The stones of the altar' stands for truths in worship that have been dissipated. In the same prophet,

Make level the way of the people; level out, level out the highway; gather out the stones. Isaiah 62:10.

'The way' and 'the stones' stand for truths. In Jeremiah,

I am against you, O destroying mountain. I will roll you down from the rocks and I will make you into a mountain of burning. And they will not take from you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations. Jeremiah 51:25-26.

This refers to Babel. 'A mountain of burning' is self-love. 'Taking no stone from it' means that there is no truth from this source.
