The Inheritance of Joseph's Children. . 1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. 2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. 3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. 5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan; 6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. Manasseh was itself but one half of the tribe of Joseph, and yet was divided and subdivided. 1. It was divided into two parts, one already settled on the other side Jordan, consisting of those who were the posterity of Machir, Joshua 17:1 ; Joshua 17:1 . This Machir was born to Manasseh in Egypt; there he had signalized himself as a man of war, probably in the contests between the Ephraimites and the men of Gath, 1 Chronicles 7:21 . His warlike disposition descended to his posterity, and therefore Moses gave them Gilead and Bashan, on the other side Jordan, of which before, Joshua 13:31 ; Joshua 13:31 . It is here said that the lot came to Manasseh, for he was the first-born of Joseph. Bishop Patrick thinks it should be translated, though he was the first-born of Joseph, and then the meaning is plain, that the second lot was for Manasseh, because, though he was the first-born, yet Jacob had preferred Ephraim before him. See the names of those heads of the families that settled on the other side Jordan, 1 Chronicles 5:24 . 2. That part on this side Jordan as subdivided into ten families, Joshua 17:5 ; Joshua 17:5 . There were six sons of Gilead here named ( Joshua 17:2 ; Joshua 17:2 ), the same that are recorded Numbers 26:30-32 , only that he who is there called Jezeer is here called Abiezer. Five of these sons had each of them their portion; the sixth, which was Hepher, had his male line cut off in his son Zelophehad, who left daughters only, five in number, of whom we have often read, and these five had each of them a portion; though perhaps, they claiming under Hepher, all their five portions were but equal to one of the portions of the five sons. Or if Hepher had other sons besides Zelophehad, in whom the name of his family was kept up, their posterity married to the daughters of Zelophehad the elder brother, and in their right had these portions assigned them. See Numbers 36:12 . Here is, (1.) The claim which the daughters of Zelophehad made, grounded upon the command God gave to Moses concerning them, Joshua 17:4 ; Joshua 17:4 . They had themselves, when they were young, pleaded their own cause before Moses, and obtained the grant of an inheritance with their brethren, and now they would not lose the benefit of that grant for want of speaking to Joshua, but seasonably put in their demand themselves, as it should seem, and not their husbands for them. (2.) The assignment of their portions according to their claim. Joshua knew very well what God had ordered in their case, and did not object that they having not served in the wars of Canaan there was no reason why they should share in the possessions of Canaan, but readily gave them as inheritance among the brethren of their father. And now they reaped the benefit of their own pious zeal and prudent forecast in this matter. Thus those who take care in the wilderness of this world to make sure to themselves a place in the inheritance of the saints in light will certainly have the comfort of it in the other world, while those that neglect it now will lose it for ever. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-7-13" class="com-number"

요셉 자손의 기업. "또 므낫세 지파를 위하여 제비를 뽑았으니 므낫세는 요셉의 장자였더라. 므낫세의 장자 마길은 길르앗의 아버지라 그는 용사이므로 길르앗과 바산을 얻었고, 므낫세의 남은 자손을 위하여도 그들의 가족대로 제비를 뽑았으니 아비에셀 자손과 헬렉 자손과 아스리엘 자손과 세겜 자손과 헤벨 자손과 스미다 자손이라 이는 므낫세 자손 요셉의 아들의 남자들이니 그들의 가족대로이니라. 므낫세의 현손 길르앗의 증손 마길의 손자 헤벨의 아들 슬로브핫은 아들이 없고 딸들만 있었으니 그 딸들의 이름은 말라와 노아와 호글라와 밀가와 디르사라. 그들이 제사장 엘르아살과 눈의 아들 여호수아와 지도자들 앞에 나아와 이르되 여호와께서 모세에게 명령하사 우리 형제 중에서 우리에게 기업을 주라 하셨다 하매 여호와의 명령대로 그들에게 그들의 아버지 형제 중에서 기업을 주었더라. 므낫세에게 떨어진 몫은 길르앗과 바산 곧 요단 저편 땅 외에도 열 몫이라. 므낫세의 딸들이 그의 아들들 중에서 기업을 받았음이요 길르앗 땅은 므낫세의 남은 아들들에게 속하였더라."
므낫세 지파 자체가 요셉 지파의 절반에 불과하였으나, 그것도 또다시 나뉘고 세분되었다.
**첫 번째 구분**: 이미 요단 저편에 정착한 부분과 이쪽에 남은 부분으로 나뉘었다. 요단 저편은 마길의 후손들로 구성되었다(여호수아 17:1). 이 마길은 이집트에서 므낫세에게서 태어났다. 그는 이집트에서 용사로 이름을 날렸는데, 아마도 에브라임 사람들과 가드 사람들 사이의 분쟁(역대상 7:21)에서 두각을 나타냈을 것이다. 그의 호전적인 기질은 후손들에게도 이어졌으므로, 모세는 그들에게 요단 저편의 길르앗과 바산을 주었다(여호수아 13:31). 여기서는 "므낫세가 장자이므로" 그에게 제비가 떨어졌다고 하지만, 패트릭 주교는 이를 "비록 장자이지만"으로 번역해야 한다고 보았다. 그 뜻은, 두 번째 제비가 므낫세에게 돌아간 것은 비록 그가 장자였으나 야곱이 에브라임을 그보다 앞세웠기 때문이라는 것이다. 요단 저편에 정착한 가족의 우두머리들 이름은 역대상 5:24에 기록되어 있다.
**두 번째 구분**: 요단 이쪽 부분은 열 가족으로 세분되었다(여호수아 17:5). 길르앗의 아들 여섯 명이 이 장에 기록되어 있는데(여호수아 17:2), 이는 민수기 26:30-32에 기록된 것과 동일하다. 다만 거기서 이에셀이라 불린 자가 여기서는 아비에셀이라 불린다. 다섯 아들은 각자 자기 몫을 받았다. 여섯 번째 아들 헤벨은 그의 아들 슬로브핫에게서 남자 계통이 끊겼고, 슬로브핫은 딸 다섯만 두었다. 그 다섯 딸에게도 각각 몫이 주어졌다. 다만, 그들이 헤벨 아래에서 청구한 것이므로 그 다섯 몫을 합쳐도 나머지 다섯 아들의 몫 하나와 같은 것이었을 수도 있다. 또는 헤벨에게 슬로브핫 외에 다른 아들들이 있었다면, 그 후손들이 형 슬로브핫의 딸들과 결혼하여 그들의 권리로 이 몫들을 배정받았을 것이다(민수기 36:12).
여기서 두 가지를 볼 수 있다. (1) 슬로브핫 딸들의 청구가 하나님께서 모세에게 주신 명령에 근거하고 있다(여호수아 17:4). 그들은 어릴 때 스스로 모세 앞에 나아가 자신들의 사정을 호소하여 형제들과 함께 기업을 얻는 승인을 받았다. 이제 그들은 여호수아에게 말하지 않아서 그 이득을 잃지 않으려 했고, 때에 맞게 스스로 청구하였으며, 남편들이 대신한 것 같지 않다. (2) 그들의 청구에 따른 몫의 할당. 여호수아는 그들의 사정을 하나님께서 어떻게 명령하셨는지 잘 알았으므로, 그들이 가나안 전쟁에서 싸우지 않았으니 가나안 소유에서 몫을 받을 이유가 없다고 반대하지 않고, 그 아버지의 형제들 가운데서 흔쾌히 기업을 주었다. 이제 그들은 이 일에서 자신들의 경건한 열심과 슬기로운 선견지명의 열매를 거두게 되었다. 이처럼 이 세상의 광야에서 성도들의 빛 가운데 있는 기업에 자신의 자리를 확실히 만들어 두려고 힘쓰는 자들은 다른 세상에서 반드시 그 위로를 얻을 것이요, 지금 그것을 소홀히 하는 자들은 영원히 그것을 잃게 될 것이다.

7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; 9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea: 10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east. 11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries. 12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out. We have here a short account of the lot of this half tribe. It reached from Jordan on the east to the great sea on the west; on the south it lay all along contiguous to Ephraim, but on the north it abutted upon Asher and Issachar. Asher lay north-west, and Issachar north-east, which seems to be the meaning of that ( Joshua 17:10 ; Joshua 17:10 ), that they (that is, Manasseh and Ephraim, as related to it, both together making the tribe of Joseph) met in Asher on the north and Issachar on the east, for Ephraim itself reached not those tribes. Some things are particularly observed concerning this lot:-- 1. That there was great communication between this tribe and that of Ephraim. The city of Tappuah belonged to Ephraim, but the country adjoining to Manasseh ( Joshua 17:8 ; Joshua 17:8 ); there were likewise many cities of Ephraim that lay within the border of Manasseh ( Joshua 17:9 ; Joshua 17:9 ), of which before, Joshua 16:9 ; Joshua 16:9 . 2. That Manasseh likewise had cities with their appurtenances in the tribes of Issachar and Asher ( Joshua 17:11 ; Joshua 17:11 ), God so ordering it, that though every tribe had its peculiar inheritance, which might not be alienated from it, yet they should thus intermix one with another, to keep up mutual acquaintance and correspondence among the tribes, and to give occasion for the doing of good offices one to another, as became those who, though of different tribes, were all one Israel, and were bound to love as brethren. 3. That they suffered the Canaanites to live among them, contrary to the command of God, serving their own ends by conniving at them, for they made them tributaries, Joshua 17:12 ; Joshua 17:13 . The Ephraimites had done the same ( Joshua 16:10 ; Joshua 16:10 ), and from them perhaps the Manassites learned it, and with their example excused themselves in it. The most remarkable person of this half tribe in after-time was Gideon, whose great actions were done within this lot. He was of the family of Abiezer; Cesarea was in this lot, and Antipatris, famed in the latter ages of the Jewish state. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-14-18" class="com-number"

"므낫세의 경계는 아셀에서부터 세겜 맞은편에 있는 믹므다까지이며 그 경계가 오른쪽 엔답부아 주민들에게 이르고, 므낫세는 답부아 땅을 가졌으나 므낫세 경계의 답부아 성읍은 에브라임 자손에게 속하였으며, 그 경계가 가나 시내로 내려가 그 시내 남쪽에 이르렀고 이 성읍들은 에브라임에게 속하였으나 므낫세의 성읍들 중에 있으며 므낫세의 경계는 그 시내 북쪽이요 끝은 바다에 이르렀으며, 남쪽은 에브라임에게 속하고 북쪽은 므낫세에게 속하였으며 바다가 그의 경계가 되었고 그들은 북쪽으로 아셀에 이르고 동쪽으로 잇사갈에 이르렀으며, 므낫세가 잇사갈과 아셀 중에 벧스안과 그 마을들과 이블르암과 그 마을들과 돌 주민과 그 마을들과 엔돌 주민과 그 마을들과 다아낙 주민과 그 마을들과 므깃도 주민과 그 마을들 곧 세 지방을 가졌더라. 그런데 므낫세 자손이 그 성읍들의 주민들을 쫓아내지 못하였으므로 가나안 사람들이 그 땅에 살기로 고집하였더라. 이스라엘 자손이 강성해진 후에야 가나안 사람들에게 노역을 시켰으나 완전히 쫓아내지는 아니하였더라."
이 반 지파의 기업에 대한 간략한 설명이 여기 있다. 동쪽의 요단에서 서쪽의 큰 바다까지 이르렀고, 남쪽으로는 온 경계가 에브라임에 인접하였으며, 북쪽으로는 아셀과 잇사갈에 맞닿았다. 아셀은 북서쪽에, 잇사갈은 북동쪽에 있었는데, 이것이 "그들이 북쪽으로 아셀에 이르고 동쪽으로 잇사갈에 이르렀다"(여호수아 17:10)는 말의 의미인 듯하다. 이는 므낫세와 에브라임이 함께 요셉 지파를 이루어 그 두 지파가 북쪽 아셀과 동쪽 잇사갈에 접했다는 것인데, 에브라임 자체는 그 지파들에 미치지 않았기 때문이다.
이 기업과 관련하여 특별히 눈에 띄는 것들이 있다.
**첫째**, 이 지파와 에브라임 지파 사이에 큰 교류가 있었다. 답부아 성읍은 에브라임에 속하였으나 인접한 땅은 므낫세에 속하였고(여호수아 17:8), 또 에브라임의 여러 성읍들이 므낫세 경계 안에 있었다(여호수아 17:9, 참조 여호수아 16:9).
**둘째**, 므낫세는 잇사갈과 아셀 지파 안에도 각각 부속 읍들과 함께 성읍들을 가졌다(여호수아 17:11). 하나님께서 이렇게 섭리하신 것은, 각 지파가 고유한 기업을 가지되 그것을 다른 사람에게 양도할 수 없으면서도, 서로 섞여 살게 하심으로 지파들 사이에 상호 친밀과 교제를 유지하고, 비록 다른 지파이지만 모두 하나의 이스라엘로서 형제처럼 사랑해야 하는 자들이 서로 선을 베풀 기회를 갖게 하려 하심이었다.
**셋째**, 그들이 하나님의 명령을 어기고 가나안 사람들을 자기들 가운데 살게 두었다. 자신들의 이익을 위해 그들을 묵인하면서 조공을 바치게 하였다(여호수아 17:12-13). 에브라임 사람들도 같은 일을 행하였고(여호수아 16:10), 므낫세 사람들은 아마도 그들의 본을 보고 배우면서 그 예를 핑계로 삼았을 것이다. 이 반 지파에서 후대에 가장 두드러진 인물은 기드온이었는데, 그의 큰 행적들이 모두 이 기업 안에서 이루어졌다. 그는 아비에셀 가족 출신이었다. 훗날 유대 역사에서 유명한 가이사랴와 안디바드리도 이 기업 안에 있었다.

14~18절 카드 ↗
14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto? 15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. 16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. 17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only: 18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong. Here, I. The children of Joseph quarrel with their lot; if they had had any just cause to quarrel with it, we have reason to think Joshua would have relieved them, by adding to it, or altering it, which it does not appear he did. It is probable, because Joshua was himself of the tribe of Ephraim, they promised themselves that they should have some particular favour shown them, and should not be confined to the decision of the lot so closely as the other tribes; but Joshua makes them know that in the discharge of his office, as a public person, he had no more regard to his own tribe than to any other, but would administer impartially, without favour or affection, wherein he has left an excellent example to all in public trusts. It was a very competent provision that was made for them, as much, for aught that appears, as they were able to manage, and yet they call it in disdain but one lot, as if that which was assigned to them both was scarcely sufficient for one. The word for complainers ( Jude 1:16 ) is mempsimoiroi, blamers of their lot:-- 1. That they were very numerous, through the blessing of God upon them ( Joshua 17:14 ; Joshua 17:14 ): I am a great people, for the Lord has blessed me; and we have reason to hope that he that hath sent mouths will send meat. " I am a great people, and in so small a lot shall not have room to thrive. " Yet observe, when they speak thankfully of their present increase, they do not speak confidently of the continuance of it. "The Lord has blessed me hitherto, however he may see fit to deal with me for the future." The uncertainty of what may be must not make us unthankful for what has been and is done in kindness to us. 2. That a good part of that country which had now fallen to their lot was in the hands of the Canaanites, and that they were formidable enemies, who brought into the field of battle chariots of iron ( Joshua 17:16 ; Joshua 17:16 ), that is, chariots with long scythes fastened to the sides of them, or the axle-tree, which made great destruction of all that came in their way, mowing them down like corn. They urge that though they had a good portion assigned them, yet it was in bad hands, and they could not come to the possession of it, wishing to have their lot in those countries that were more thoroughly reduced than this was. II. Joshua endeavours to reconcile them to their lot. He owns they were a great people, and being two tribes ought to have more than one lot only ( Joshua 17:17 ; Joshua 17:17 ), but tells them that what had fallen to their share would be a sufficient lot for them both, if they would but work and fight. They desired a lot in which they might indulge themselves in ease and luxury. "No," says Joshua, "you must not count upon that; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread is a sentence in force even in Canaan itself." He retorts their own argument, that they were a great people. "If so, you are the better able to help yourselves, and have the less reason to expect help from others. If thou hast many mouths to be filled, thou hast twice as many hands to be employed; earn, and then eat." 1. He bids them work for more ( Joshua 17:15 ; Joshua 17:15 ): " Get thee up to the wood-country, which is within thy own border, and let all hands be set to work to cut down the trees, rid the rough lands, and make them, with art and industry, good arable ground." Note, Many wish for larger possessions who do not cultivate and make the best of what they have, think they should have more talents given them who do not trade with those with which they are entrusted. Most people's poverty is the effect of their idleness; would they dig, they need not beg. 2. He bids them fight for more ( Joshua 17:17 ; Joshua 17:18 ), when they pleaded that they could not come at the wood-lands he spoke of because in the valley between them and it were Canaanites whom they durst not enter the lists with. "Never fear them," said Joshua, "thou hast God on thy side, and thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, if thou wilt set about it in good earnest, though they have iron chariots. " We straiten ourselves by apprehending the difficulties in the way of our enlargement to be greater than really they are. What can be insuperable to faith and holy resolution? return to ' Top of Page ' Joshua Jos 16 Joshua Jos Joshua Jos 18 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

"요셉 자손이 여호수아에게 말하여 이르되 여호와께서 지금까지 내게 복을 주셨으므로 나는 큰 민족이 되었거늘 어찌하여 내게 한 제비 한 몫만 주어 기업을 삼게 하였나이까 하매, 여호수아가 그들에게 이르되 네가 큰 민족이 되어서 에브라임 산지가 네게 너무 좁으면 브리스 사람과 르바임 사람의 땅 삼림에 올라가서 스스로 개척하라 하니, 요셉 자손이 이르되 그 산지는 우리에게 부족하고 또 골짜기 땅에 사는 모든 가나안 사람들 곧 벧스안과 그 마을들에 있는 자들과 이스르엘 골짜기에 사는 자들에게는 다 철병거가 있나이다 하니라. 여호수아가 요셉 집 곧 에브라임과 므낫세에게 말하여 이르되 너는 큰 민족이요 큰 능력이 있으니 한 제비 한 몫만 갖지 않을 것이라. 그 산지도 네 것이 되리니 비록 삼림이라도 네가 개척하라 그 끝까지 네 것이 되리라 가나안 사람들이 철병거를 가졌다 할지라도 그들이 강하다 할지라도 네가 능히 그들을 쫓아내리라 하였더라."
**I. 요셉 자손이 자신들의 기업에 불평을 늘어놓았다.** 정당한 불만이 있었다면 여호수아가 그것을 더하거나 바꾸어 구제해 주었을 것인데, 그렇게 하였다는 증거가 없다. 아마도 여호수아 자신이 에브라임 지파 출신이었으므로, 그들은 다른 지파들보다 특별한 호의를 받아 제비의 결정에 그렇게 엄격히 매이지 않을 것이라 기대하였을 것이다. 그러나 여호수아는 공직을 수행하는 공인으로서 자기 지파에 대해 다른 지파보다 더 배려하지 않고, 편애나 정 없이 공정하게 처리하였다. 이는 공적 책무를 맡은 모든 사람에게 훌륭한 모범을 남긴 것이다. 그들에게 주어진 것은 충분히 넉넉한 분량으로, 그들이 감당할 수 있는 것만큼이나 많이 보였는데도 그들은 경멸조로 "한 몫"이라 불렀다. 마치 둘에게 배정된 것이 하나에게도 겨우 충분하다는 듯이. "원망하는 자들"(유다서 1:16)을 그리스어로 멤프시모이로이, 곧 "자기 몫을 비난하는 자들"이라 한다.
그들의 불평 이유는 두 가지였다.
**첫 번째**, 하나님의 복으로 그들의 수가 매우 많아졌다(여호수아 17:14). "나는 큰 민족이라 주께서 나에게 복을 주셨습니다. 우리는 입들을 보내신 분이 양식도 보내주실 것이라 믿습니다. 나는 큰 민족이어서 이렇게 작은 기업에서는 번창할 공간이 없습니다." 그러나 주목할 만한 점은, 현재의 번성에 감사하면서도 앞으로의 지속에 대해서는 확신하지 못한다는 것이다. "주께서 지금까지 내게 복을 주셨으나, 앞으로는 나를 어떻게 다루실지 모릅니다." 앞으로 어떻게 될지 모른다는 불확실성이 이미 받고 있는 은혜에 대한 감사를 막아서는 안 된다.
**두 번째**, 그들의 기업 중 상당 부분이 가나안 사람들의 손에 있었고, 그들이 철병거를 가진 만만치 않은 적이었다(여호수아 17:16). 철병거란 수레 양옆이나 차축에 긴 낫을 달아, 가로막는 모든 것을 곡식 베듯 베어버리는 대단한 파괴력의 무기였다. 그들은 좋은 기업이 배정되었으나 그것이 나쁜 자들의 손에 있어 점령할 수 없다고 주장하면서, 이보다 더 철저히 정복된 지역에 기업을 얻기를 원하였다.
**II. 여호수아가 그들을 자신들의 기업에 만족시키려 애썼다.** 그는 그들이 큰 민족이요 두 지파이므로 한 몫만 가져서는 안 된다는 것을 인정하면서(여호수아 17:17), 그들에게 배정된 것이 그들 둘 모두에게 충분한 기업이 될 것이라고 말했다. 단, 그들이 일하고 싸우기만 한다면. 그들은 편안함과 풍요를 누릴 수 있는 기업을 원했다. 여호수아는 말했다. "그것은 안 됩니다. 가나안 땅에서도 '네가 얼굴에 땀을 흘려야 먹을 것을 먹으리라'는 선고는 여전히 유효합니다." 그는 그들 자신의 논리를 그들에게 되돌렸다. 큰 민족이라면, 오히려 더 스스로 도울 수 있는 것 아닌가. "먹여야 할 입이 많다면, 손도 그 두 배가 있으니, 일하고 먹어라."
**첫째**, 그는 더 많은 것을 위해 일하라고 명했다(여호수아 17:15). "네 경계 안에 있는 삼림 지대로 올라가서 모든 손을 동원하여 나무를 베고 거친 땅을 개간하여 기술과 수고로 좋은 경작지를 만들라." 더 많은 달란트를 받기를 원하면서 이미 맡은 달란트로 장사하지 않는 자들처럼, 더 많은 재산을 바라면서도 자신이 가진 것을 경작하고 최선을 다해 활용하지 않는 자들이 많다. 대부분의 가난은 게으름의 결과이다. 땅을 팠다면 구걸할 필요가 없을 것이다.
**둘째**, 그는 더 많은 것을 위해 싸우라고 명했다(여호수아 17:17-18). 그들은 삼림 지대에 가려면 그 사이 골짜기에 있는 가나안 사람들을 무찔러야 하는데 감히 맞서지 못하겠다고 했다. "두려워하지 말라"고 여호수아는 말했다. "하나님이 네 편이시니, 진심으로 덤벼든다면 철병거가 있어도 가나안 사람들을 쫓아낼 수 있을 것이다." 우리가 스스로를 제한하는 것은 성장을 가로막는 어려움들을 실제보다 더 크게 보기 때문이다. 믿음과 거룩한 결단 앞에 무엇이 극복할 수 없겠는가.
