13:1 约书亚年纪老迈，耶和华对他说，你年纪老迈了，还有许多未得之地，
Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
13:2 就是非利士人的全境和基述人的全地。
This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
13:3 从埃及前的西曷河往北，直到以革伦的境界，就算属迦南人之地。有非利士人五个首领所管的迦萨人，亚实突人，亚实基伦人，迦特人，以革伦人之地，并有南方亚卫人之地。
From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
13:4 又有迦南人的全地，并属西顿人的米亚拉到亚弗，直到亚摩利人的境界。
From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
13:5 还有迦巴勒人之地，并向日出的全黎巴嫩，就是从黑门山根的巴力迦得，直到哈马口。
And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
13:6 山地的一切居民，从黎巴嫩直到米斯利弗玛音，就是所有的西顿人，我必在以色列人面前赶出他们去。你只管照我所吩咐的，将这地拈阄分给以色列人为业。
All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
13:7 现在你要把这地分给九个支派和玛拿西半个支派为业。
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
13:8 玛拿西那半支派和流便，迦得二支派已经受了产业，就是耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东所赐给他们的，
With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
13:9 是从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城，并米底巴的全平原，直到底本，
From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;
13:10 和在希实本作王亚摩利王西宏的诸城，直到亚扪人的境界。
And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
13:11 又有基列地，基述人，玛迦人的地界，并黑门全山，巴珊全地，直到撒迦。
And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
13:12 又有巴珊王噩的全国。他在亚斯他录和以得来作王（利乏音人所存留的只剩下他）。这些地的人都是摩西所击杀，所赶逐的。
All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
13:13 以色列人却没有赶逐基述人，玛迦人。这些人仍住在以色列中，直到今日。
Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
13:14 只是利未支派，摩西（原文作他）没有把产业分给他们。他们的产业乃是献与耶和华以色列神的火祭，正如耶和华所应许他们的。
Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.
13:15 摩西按着流便支派的宗族分给他们产业。
And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.
13:16 他们的境界是亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城，靠近米底巴的全平原。
And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;
13:17 希实本并属希实本平原的各城，底本，巴末巴力，伯巴力勉，
Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
13:18 雅杂，基底莫，米法押，
And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
13:19 基列亭，西比玛，谷中山的细列哈沙辖，
And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,
13:20 伯毗珥，毗斯迦山坡，伯耶西末。
And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
13:21 平原的各城，并亚摩利王西宏的全国。这西宏曾在希实本作王，摩西把他和米甸的族长以未，利金，苏珥，户珥，利巴击杀了。这都是住那地属西宏为首领的。
And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
13:22 那时以色列人在所杀的人中，也用刀杀了比珥的儿子术士巴兰。
Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
13:23 流便人的境界就是约旦河与靠近约旦河的地。以上是流便人按着宗族所得为业的诸城，并属城的村庄。
And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
13:24 摩西按着迦得支派的宗族分给他们产业。
And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.
13:25 他们的境界是雅谢和基列的各城，并亚扪人的一半地，直到拉巴前的亚罗珥。
And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;
13:26 从希实本到拉抹米斯巴和比多宁，又从玛哈念到底璧的境界，
And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
13:27 并谷中的伯亚兰，伯宁拉，疏割，撒分，就是希实本王西宏国中的馀地，以及约旦河与靠近约旦河的地，直到基尼烈海的极边，都在约旦河东。
And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
13:28 以上是迦得人按着宗族所得为业的诸城，并属城的村庄。
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.
13:29 摩西把产业分给玛拿西半支派，是按着玛拿西半支派的宗族所分的。
And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.
13:30 他们的境界是从玛哈念起，包括巴珊全地，就是巴珊王噩的全国，并在巴珊，睚珥的一切城邑，共六十个。
And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:
13:31 基列的一半，并亚斯他录，以得来，就是属巴珊王噩国的二城，是按着宗族给玛拿西的儿子玛吉的一半子孙。
And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
13:32 以上是摩西在约旦河东对着耶利哥的摩押平原所分给他们的产业。
These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
13:33 只是利未支派，摩西没有把产业分给他们。耶和华以色列的神是他们的产业，正如耶和华所应许他们的。
But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
约书亚记13参考
终于可以分地了！他们要怎么样来分呢──
13-19章 这卷书余下的十二章，讲述十二个支派拈阄分应许之地的情形。首先是利未支派不可有地业，因为他们要全力服事百姓，不得去经营自己的私业（13:14, 21）。其次是吕便，迦得，与玛拿西半支派，已经得到约旦河东之地了，那是摩西所答允他们的（参民32）。另外犹大与约瑟支派（以法莲与玛拿西半个支派），已经领受了他们祖宗雅各在四百五十年以前应许给他们的地（参创48:22；书15-17章）。这样，其余的几个支派拈阄分所剩之地（18章）。
从雅各最初对他众子的祝福（参创49），以及摩西给十二支派的祝福看来，（参申33）各支派所要得的土地，已经大致明了。他们二人的祝福，皆有预言性质，尽管约书亚为余下的几个支派拈阄决定这地的分配，所拈出的结果却与雅各和摩西预言的相同。
人老了，事奉神是有心无力了──真的吗？
13:1 约书亚年纪渐老──这时介乎八十五至一百岁之间。不过，神仍有工作给他做。我们的社会常常高举年轻力壮的人，将老人放在一边。其实，老人的经验满有智慧，如若给他们机会，鼓励他们去做的话，他们确实是有用之材。基督徒绝不可从事奉神的职务上退休。过了退休年龄的人，不要以为年老使自己不能事奉神，或为自己找藉口。
哪里是神给我们的“应许之地”？我们有没有去占领？
13:7 迦南地之中，还有许多以色列人未得之地，但是神的计划是要他们继续向前去得那地，将那地也归在各支派所占的地中；他的心意是要他们征服全地。神知道未来，他既然领导你，就知道摆在你前面的胜利。当年以色列人仍需出征作战，如今我们为自己的“未得之地”，也需面对试炼，力战而得。
甚么是我们的“未得之地”？可能是海外宣教，将圣经译成新的语言文字，本地新的宣教工作，尚未得救的群体或机构，没有揭发的公众问题，或是道德上的争论，生活中没有承认的罪，或者是未充分开发的人力与物力。神要你去征服甚么地方，那个地方就是神对你的“应许之地”。只要成全神吩咐我们去完成的任务，将来就会得新天新地为产业（参启21:1）。
与罪有没有可能“和平共处”？
13:13 以色列人在迦南定居以后，遭遇到许许多多的问题，其中一个原因，就是他们没有把那地的所有居民全赶出去。剩下来信奉异教的百姓，好像瘟疫一样，令他们苦难不息，士师记记载了这些事件。以色列人没有将生活中的罪恶完全除尽，现代的基督徒，也常常未将自己生活中的罪完全除掉──二者都会有同样悲惨的后果。请再读出埃及第二十章中的十条诫命，然后扪心自问，我是否容忍犯罪的习惯与想法？我是否同意，认为做到一半就算够好？我是否严以责人，宽以恕己？
在约旦河东居住的支派有──
13:15-23 每个支派所分得的土地，和那个支派始祖的性格常常有很微妙的关系。例如，约瑟的品格敬虔（参创49:22-26），他的后裔以法莲与玛拿西这两个支派就得到迦南地之中最肥沃、出产最丰富的土地。犹大甘愿亲自代替弟弟便雅悯被留下，换取兄弟的安全（参创44:18-34），他的后裔就得到迦南地中最大的一分，最后建立了南国犹大，成了大卫王朝的基地。吕便因为与父亲的妾侍同寝（参创49:4），所以在这段经文中说，他的后裔只得到荒凉的地区。
玛拿西支派为甚么分为二？
13:29 玛拿西支派一分为二。他们有许多人选择在河东定居下来，因为那地特别适于牧放牛羊（参民32:33），其余的人则喜欢在河西之地居住，所以这支派就分为两半。
神不给利未支派地业，是因为──
13:33 利未支派被分别出来， 专心事奉神，他们需要更多的时间与流动性，而其他有地的支派则做不到这点。如果给利未人土地的话，就意味著叫他们负起更多的责任与义务，反而阻碍他们事奉神。因此神安排其他支派奉献财物，以供给利未人的需要（参民35:2-4，那里讲到利未人从其他支派地业中得到城邑的情形）。
