圣经问答：约书亚向以色列人告别
约书亚记第五课：约书亚告别：约书亚记第二十三章至二十四章
约书亚是神的忠心仆人。他年老时，快要离开人间，向百姓演讲——等于是他临终之话。约书亚所告诉古代以色列人的话，也值得今日之我们学习遵行。
一。约书亚记23章：约书亚之遗命：约书亚年老，把以色列人请来，向他们述说他心里最关键的事，如下… 2至3节：以色列人能够征服迦南地为业，完全是谁的能力和作为？4节：约书亚把地皮拈阄分给以色列每一___ ___。5节：___必将那些民族从迦南地赶出去。6节：“所以你们要大大壮胆，谨守___ ___写在摩西律法书上的___ ___话，不可___ ___左右”。“摩西律法书”是什么？（是摩西五书：创世记，出埃及记等。）7至8节：“不可与你们中间所剩下的这些国民搀杂。他们的___，你们不可提他的名，不可指着他___ ___，也不可___ ___、叩拜；8只要照着你们到今日所行的，专靠___ ___ ___你们的神”。
12至13节：如果以色列人跟那些所留下的民族往来，通婚等，结果会怎么样？14节：约书亚说他快要___。约书亚强调一件很重要的事情：“你们是一心一意地知道，耶和华你们神所应许赐福与你们的话没有一句___ ___，都___ ___在你们身上了”。
15至16节：约书亚再次说明，神不但有能力赏赐以色列人，让他们进入并征服迦南地，他也有能力___ ___那些违背他的人，使得他们离开迦南。15节：“ 耶和华你们神所应许的一切___ ___，怎样临到你们身上，耶和华也必照样使各样___ ___临到你们身上，直到把你们从耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上___ ___。 16 你们若违背耶和华你们神吩咐你们所守的约，去事奉别神，叩拜他，耶和华的怒气必向你们发作，使你们在他所赐的美地上速速___ ___”。
二。约书亚记24章：约书亚述说神的恩惠：约书亚记24:1-13：约书亚把以色列个个支派的首领请来，与他们述说神为以色列民族所作的。聚会地点是___ ___，就是靠近多年前，他们所聚会的地点（参看约书亚记8:30-35）。他们都站在谁的面前？请列下约书亚所提到的人和事情，由他拉，亚伯拉罕和拿鹤开始：12节：以色列人能够征服迦南地是因为谁为他们作战？第十三节应该使得首领们及百姓作深刻的检讨：“我赐给你们___ ___，___你们所修治的；我赐给你们___ ___，非你们所___ ___的。你们就住在其中，又得吃___你们所栽种的葡萄园、橄榄园的果子”。请把该话应用在自己的身上。
约书亚记24:14-28：约书亚给以色列人的挑战（14至15节）是约书亚记里面最有名的一句话之一；请背诵：14“现在你们要___ ___耶和华，诚心实意地___ ___他，将你们列祖在大河那边和在埃及所事奉的神___ ___，去事奉耶和华。15若是你们以事奉耶和华为___ ___，今日就可以___ ___所要事奉的：是你们列祖在大河那边所事奉的神呢？是你们所住这地的亚摩利人的神呢？至于___和___ ___，我们必定事奉耶和华”。读者，您我是否要让这句话作为我们自己及我们家人的宗教信仰宣言？16至18节：群众如何反应？19节：约书亚为什么说，“你们不能事奉耶和华…”？
19至22节：谁为群众作见证人？23至24节：约书亚还担心何事？25节：约书亚再次与民众立了____。为什么？
26至28节：约书亚把一块大___ ___立在神的圣所旁边，说它听见了神所命令以色列人的话。“倘或你们___ ___你们的神，这石头就可以向你们作___ ___”。
约书亚记24:29-33：约书亚活到几岁？请注意《圣经》给约书亚的“评价”，证明约书亚对以色列人的影响力。此话也是任何事奉神的领袖仰望得到的评价，如下：“约书亚在世和约书亚死后，那些知道耶和华为以色列人所行诸事的长老还在的时候，以色列人___ ___耶和华”。（普通话本把此句话翻译如下：“约书亚在世的日子，以色列认侍奉主；约书亚死后，那些亲眼看见过主为以色列人所作的一切的长老们还在世的时候，以色列人依然侍奉主”。）
为什么把约瑟的骨头埋葬在示剑？（请参看创世记33:19, 50:25及出埃及记13:19。）
请写一写自己对约书亚的看法。
如果您是基督徒，您希望能够影响下一代吗？怎么样影响他们？影响他们作什么？您希不希望影响下一代的人更加亲近神，侍奉神呢？
约书亚给您带来什么样的榜样？

Joshua/05: Joshua Says Goodbye
Joshua chapters 23-24
1. Joshua 23: Joshua’s Farewell: The elderly Joshua assembled the Israelites to tell them what was on his heart, things he considered of great importance, as follows: Vs. 2-3: That the Israelites could subdue the land of Canaan as their inheritance was entirely because of (whose) doing? Vs. 4: Joshua allotted the land for each t___. Vs. 5: G___ himself will drive the peoples out of Canaan. Vs. 6: “Be very strong; be careful to o___ a___ that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without t___ aside to the right or to the left.” What is the “Book of the Law of Moses”? (The five books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, etc.) Vs. 7-8: “Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their g___ or s___ by them. You must not ___ them or bow down to them.8 But you are to hold fast to the L___ your God, as you have until now.” Vs. 12-13: What will be the result if the Israelites associate with the groups who remain, if they intermarry or ally themselves with them? Vs. 14: Joshua says that he must soon d___. Joshua emphasizes a very important fact: “You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has f___. Every promise has been ___; not one has failed.” Vs. 15-16: Once again Joshua declares that God not only is able to bless the Israelites and enable them to enter and subdue Canaan, God is also able to (curse or punish) those who disobey him and cause them to leave Canaan. “15 But just as every good p___ of the LORD your God has come true, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil he has threatened, until he has d___ you from this good land he has given you. 16 If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the LORD’S anger will burn against you, and you will quickly p___ from the good land he has given you.”
2.Joshua 24: Joshua Depicts God’s Grace: Joshua 24:1-13: Joshua called together the leaders of each Israelite tribe and reviewed with them everything that God had done for the nation of Israel. They assembled in S___, very near the place they had assembled years before (see Joshua 8:30-35). They stood in (whose) presence? List all the people and events that Joshua mentioned, beginning with Terah, Abraham and Nahor. Vs. 12: The Israelites could subdue Canaan was because (who) fought for them? Verse thirteen should cause all leaders and other people to make a critical self-evaluation: “So I gave you a l___ on which you did n___ toil and c___ you did not b___; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did n___ plant.” How would you apply these words to yourself? Joshua 24:14-28: The challenge that Joshua gave to Israel (vs. 14-15) is one of the most famous passages in the book of Joshua; please memorize these verses: “14 “Now f___ the LORD and s___ him with all faithfulness. T___ a___ the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 But if serving the LORD seems u___ to you, then c___ for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for m___ and m___ h___, we will serve the LORD.” Will you and I make this statement the motto or proclamation of religious faith for ourselves and our families? Vs. 16-18: How did the people respond? Vs. 19: Why did Joshua say, “You are not able to serve the LORD”? Vs. 19-22: Who became the witness for the assembly? Vs. 23-24: What did Joshua still fear? Vs. 25: Once again Joshua made a c___ with the people. Why? Vs. 26-28: Joshua put a large s___ and set it near God’s holy place and said that it had heard all the commandments that God had given the Israelites. “It will be a w___ against you if you are u___ to your God.” Joshua 24:29-33: How old did Joshua live to be? Note how the Bible assesses Joshua for the influence that he had on the Israelites. Anyone who serves as a leader of God’s people would like for this to be said about them, as follows: “Israel s___ the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced everything the LORD had done for Israel.” [The Putonghua or Easy-to-Read Chinese translation (© World Bible Translation Center) is also given.] Why did they bury the bones of Joseph in Shechem? (See Genesis 33:19, 50:25 and Exodus 13:19). Write your own opinion of Joshua. If you are a Christian, do you want to influence the next generation? How do you want to influence them? Influence them to do what? Do you hope to influence the next generation to be closer to God and to serve God? What kind of an example is Joshua for you?
