And today's episode six of our series, A Secular Bible Study.

今天是我們 "世俗聖經研究 "系列的第六集。

Today we're looking at the biblical book of Joshua, and there is a lot that happens in this book.

今天我們來看看聖經中的約書亞記，這本書中發生了很多事情。

As always, we'll be going through these seven points to help us.

我們將一如既往地通過這七點來幫助我們。

In point seven, I've also started adding in problematic verses and it's at the end there where I can give some of my more personal opinions on the issues with this book.

在第七點中，我也開始加入有問題的經文，在最後，我可以就這本書的問題發表一些個人看法。

But let's dive in right away with book overview.

不過，我們還是先來看看書的概述吧。

In fact, Joshua is referenced as the new Moses.

事實上，約書亞被稱為新摩西。

So where we left off was with Moses's death and he's giving this final sermon to the children of the original Exodus generation that are now going to be the ones inheriting the promised land.

在摩西去世後，他向出埃及的後代們做了最後的佈道，他們將繼承應許之地。

He has his position of leadership and the time has finally come.

他擁有自己的上司地位，時機終於到來。

They are going to go into the promised land.

Now a lot of Christians who haven't spent a lot of time with the Old Testament may just think of the promised land as this place, right?

現在，很多沒有花很多時間研讀《舊約全書》的基督徒可能只認為應許之地就是這個地方，對嗎？

This small acreage of milk and honey, and it's nice and it's just going to be the resting place for the Israelite generation.

這一小塊奶與蜜的土地，它很好，將成為以色列一代的安息之地。

And within this territory, there are many different kingdoms, many different tribes to defeat in order to really lay claim to this.

在這片領土上，有許多不同的王國，許多不同的部落，要打敗它們才能真正擁有這片領土。

Because the goal here isn't for all of the Israelites to just group up together.

因為這裡的目標並不是讓所有以色列人聚集在一起。

We're going to establish the 12 tribes of Israel in different parts of Canaan.

我們要在迦南的不同地方建立以色列的 12 個支派。

So it's on a bigger scale than one might think, at least according to the Bible.

是以，至少根據《聖經》，它的規模比人們想象的要大。

那麼，《約書亞記》中發生了什麼？

Well, we first have to get into Canaan and we have to cross the Jordan river.

那麼，我們首先要進入迦南，我們必須渡過約旦河。

They'd been camped in the land of Moab right outside of the Jordan river with Canaan being on the other side.

他們在約旦河外的摩押地安營紮寨，而迦南就在約旦河的對岸。

So again, just like I said, we have a second Moses here.

所以，就像我說的，我們這裡還有第二個摩西。

So we part the Jordan river and we walk across it.

於是，我們分開約旦河，走過約旦河。

This just gets completely glossed over in comparison to Moses partying in the red sea, which I think is a bit unfortunate.

與摩西在紅海中狂歡相比，這一點完全被掩蓋了，我認為這有點遺憾。

And what we see right off the bat here is that the same power that Moses had, Joshua has.

我們在這裡看到的是，摩西擁有的力量，約書亞也擁有。

The God is still on their side, even with the death of their main prophet.

即使他們的主要先知死了，上帝仍然站在他們一邊。

Before the crossover through the Jordan, they send spies in again and it goes much better than the first time when Moses sent the 12 spies.

在穿越約旦河之前，他們再次派出探子，結果比摩西第一次派出 12 個探子時順利得多。

Now we could spend an entire episode just talking about the story of Rahab.

現在，我們可以用一整集的時間來講述喇合的故事。

There's a lot of interesting things that happen here.

Like one, the fact that Rahab is essentially rewarded for lying right after we get all of these curses that will befall people who break the 10 commandments and the other laws, which definitely include lying.

其一，拉哈布因為撒謊而得到了獎賞，而在此之前，我們已經知道了違反十誡和其他律法（其中肯定包括撒謊）的人將會受到的所有詛咒。

It seems that God's objective morality is quite subjective when it suits him.

看來，上帝的客觀道德在適合他的時候是相當主觀的。

Also, we get this really passionate speech from Rahab to the spies of, I know your Lord is the most powerful.

此外，喇合還對探子們說了這樣一段充滿激情的話：我知道你們的主是最有權柄的。

I know he's going to deliver you into this land.

我知道他會把你送到這片土地上。

We know about the red sea that was part of, and that's why I'm helping you.

我們知道紅海是其中的一部分，這也是我幫助你的原因。

Remember me, let me be in your good graces here.

請記住我，讓我在這裡受到您的恩寵。

And it's a great story where we have this woman who is a prostitute who is going up against the leaders of her land and lying for the spies to help them accomplish their mission.

這是一個很好的故事，在這個故事裡，有一個妓女，她與當地的首領作對，為間諜撒謊，幫助他們完成任務。

但無論如何，拉哈布的故事還是發生了。

接下來的部分就沒那麼有趣了。

After this happens, they take a couple days for everyone to heal, which I just think is hilarious that that's even listed in the Bible.

發生這種情況後，每個人都需要幾天的時間才能痊癒，我只是覺得《聖經》中竟然有這樣的記載實在是太搞笑了。

After that, we get their first Passover celebration in the new land.

之後，我們將看到他們在新大陸的第一個逾越節慶祝活動。

And then we get something really exciting here.

然後，我們會看到一些非常令人興奮的東西。

Again, this is the kind of stuff that excited me as a kid.

同樣，這也是我小時候最興奮的東西。

他剛剛成功完成了一次間諜任務。

They're getting ready to go and attack Jericho.

He runs into this mysterious stranger, this powerful warrior.

他遇到了這個神祕的陌生人，這個強大的戰士。

He says he is the commander of the Lord's army.

And once again, in this second Moses fashion, Joshua is told to take off his sandals because he is on holy ground.

又一次，約書亞被告知要脫掉涼鞋，因為他身處聖地。

And the whole point is to let Joshua know that, Hey, you might be on the right side.

這樣做的目的是讓約書亞知道，嘿，你可能是站在正確的一邊。

You might be with the chosen people, but I'm not on your side.

你可能是被選中的人，但我不站在你這邊。

I'm on the Lord's side and you have the capability of also being against the Lord.

我站在上帝一邊，而你也有能力與上帝作對。

We've seen that with the previous generations.

我們在前幾代人身上已經看到了這一點。

So I'm here to make sure that the Lord's will be done.

所以我來這裡是為了確保上帝的旨意得以實現。

You can either come along for the ride or not.

你可以選擇加入，也可以選擇不加入。

At least that's how I take, what is happening here and what many scholars see to be happening as well.

至少我是這麼認為的，這裡發生的事情和許多學者看到的情況也是如此。

After this, we get into our first few battles.

之後，我們開始了最初的幾場戰鬥。

So maybe I'll try to do more of an overview here.

所以，也許我會在這裡做更多的概述。

And then we can talk about some of these specific battles, because this is a big part of Joshua.

然後我們可以談談其中的一些具體戰役，因為這是約書亞的重要部分。

It's about conquering the land of Canaan.

So the first two battles are Jericho and I, AI, and we see two very different outcomes, a complete destruction and a loss.

是以，前兩場戰鬥分別是 "傑里科 "和 "我，人工智能"，我們看到了兩種截然不同的結果，一種是徹底毀滅，另一種是失敗。

And we see a loss because of a individual Israelites sin.

我們看到，以色列人因為個人的罪過而蒙受了損失。

And so here we see the blessings and curses already at play as they're in the new land of Canaan.

是以，在這裡我們看到，當他們來到迦南新地時，祝福和詛咒已經開始發揮作用。

And why is this guy, I think his name is Akin.

為什麼這個人，我想他叫阿金。

He kept some treasure after the defeat of Jericho that was meant for God, for himself.

耶利哥戰敗後，他保留了一些本應獻給上帝的財寶，留給了自己。

This is when I just can't believe these stories are at all true.

這時，我簡直不敢相信這些故事是真的。

These are obviously archetypes and narrative structures and plot development at play.

這顯然是原型、敘事結構和情節發展在起作用。

They can't possibly, after everything that has happened, after everyone that has been smited, after every curse and blessing has been clearly seen, after they're talking and being with God, we're going to see God on a walk.

他們不可能在發生了這麼多事情之後，在每個人都被擊打之後，在每個詛咒和祝福都被清楚地看到之後，在他們與上帝交談和相處之後，我們還能看到上帝在散步。

We're going to see God throw rocks down on people in this book.

在這本書中，我們將看到上帝向人們扔石頭。

Like this God is so active in this community.

And you're going to tell me this guy thought he could steal treasure from God.

你要告訴我，這傢伙以為他能從上帝那裡偷走寶藏。

Even the very fact that this God needed treasure is something to just look at the corporeal nature of him in the Old Testament versus this God that we supposedly have in the New Testament.

只要看看舊約中上帝的肉體與我們在新約中所謂的上帝的對比，我們就會知道上帝需要寶藏這一事實。

And we'll probably honestly talk about those more in the problematic verses when we talk about genocide, not genocide, et cetera, and get into some of the moral issues there.

當我們談到種族滅絕、非種族滅絕等問題時，我們可能會在有問題的詩句中更誠實地談論這些問題，並深入探討其中的一些道德問題。

But then we get a list of all the victories of Moses and Joshua.

但隨後我們會看到摩西和約書亞的所有勝利。
