简体中文
英文原文
Jos 15:1-12.
BORDERS OF THE LOT OF JUDAH.
1. This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah--In what manner the lot was drawn on this occasion the sacred historian does not say; but it is probable that the method adopted was similar to that described in
Jos 18:10.
Though the general survey of the country had not been completed, some rough draft or delineation of the first conquered part must have been made, and satisfactory evidence obtained that it was large enough to furnish three cantons, before all the tribes cast lots for them; and they fell to Judah, Ephraim, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The lot of Judah came first, in token of the pre-eminence of that tribe over all the others; and its destined superiority thus received the visible sanction of God. The territory, assigned to it as a possession, was large and extensive, being bounded on the south by the wilderness of Zin, and the southern extremity of the Salt Sea
(Nu 34:3-5);
on the east, by that sea, extending to the point where it receives the waters of the Jordan; on the north, by a line drawn nearly parallel to Jerusalem, across the country, from the northern extremity of the Salt Sea to the southern limits of the Philistine territory, and to the Mediterranean; and on the west this sea was its boundary, as far as Sihor (Wady El-Arish).

18、19. 她到了他那里——即当她将从父家迁往夫家之时。她忽然下了出行之驾——这是对父亲的敬意，也是有所请求的表示。她原曾劝俄陀聂开口，但他不愿显得贪得无厌；她便决意自己直说。她趁临别之际父母之心最易柔软之时进言求恳（因为她作嫁妆的那块地朝南，相对干旱荒芜），求父亲再加一块相连之地，那里有丰美清泉。这要求既合理，便蒙了应允。这一故事也带出一个重要的属灵教训：地上的父母既乐意把好东西给儿女，何况我们在天上的父，岂不更要把一切所需的福分赐给求祂的人吗？
英文原文
18, 19. as she came unto him--that is, when about to remove from her father's to her husband's house. She suddenly alighted from her travelling equipage--a mark of respect to her father, and a sign of making some request. She had urged Othniel to broach the matter, but he not wishing to do what appeared like evincing a grasping disposition, she resolved herself to speak out. Taking advantage of the parting scene when a parent's heart was likely to be tender, she begged (as her marriage portion consisted of a field which, having a southern exposure, was comparatively an arid and barren waste) he would add the adjoining one, which abounded in excellent springs. The request being reasonable, it was granted; and the story conveys this important lesson in religion, that if earthly parents are ready to bestow on their children that which is good, much more will our heavenly Father give every necessary blessing to them who ask Him.

书 15:21-63。
犹大的城邑
21-63. 犹大支派尽边的城邑——此处列出了犹大支派境内的城邑，分为四组，与犹大所辖各区相应：南部的城
(书 15:21-32)，
低地的城
(书 15:33-47)，
山地的城
(书 15:48-60)，
和旷野的城
(书 15:61、62)。
要看这些城邑彼此相对的位置，最好还是查考地图。
英文原文
Jos 15:21-63.
CITIES OF JUDAH.
21-63. the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah--There is given a list of cities within the tribal territory of Judah, arranged in four divisions, corresponding to the districts of which it consisted--the cities in the southern part
(Jos 15:21-32),
those in the lowlands
(Jos 15:33-47),
those in the highlands
(Jos 15:48-60),
and those in the desert
(Jos 15:61, 62).
One gets the best idea of the relative situation of these cities by looking at the map.
约书亚记 15:1-12。
犹大所得之分的疆界
1. 犹大支派按着宗族所拈的阄——这一次拈阄究竟如何进行，圣史并未说明；但所用方法大概与
书 18:10
所记的类似。虽然全国的总测绘尚未完成，但首批攻取之地必有某种粗略的草图或描绘，并有充分证据表明其面积足以分作三个区域，众支派才为之拈阄；结果犹大、以法莲和玛拿西半支派各得其一。犹大的阄居首，表明该支派在众支派中居首位，它预定的优越地位也因此得到了神显明的认可。归它为业的地土广大辽阔：南面以寻的旷野和盐海南端为界
(民 34:3-5)； 东面以那海为界，延伸至其接纳约旦河水的汇流处；北面以一条几乎与耶路撒冷平行、横贯全地的线为界，从盐海北端到非利士地的南界，再到地中海；西面则以这海为界，远达西曷（即阿里什干河）。
