Joshua 11:18 war a long time. The conquest took approximately 7 years. Only Gibeon submitted without a fight (v. 19).
约书亚记 11:18 约书亚和这诸王争战了许久。 征服迦南大约用了7年时间。只有基遍人不战而降（第19节）。

Joshua 11:20 it was of the LORD to harden their hearts. God turned the Canaanites' hearts to fight in order that Israel might be His judging instrument to destroy them. They were willfully guilty of rejecting the true God with consequent great wickedness and were as unfit to remain in the land as vomit spewed out of the mouth (Lev. 18:24, 25).
约书亚记 11:20 是耶和华使他们心里刚硬。 神使迦南人的心刚硬，去与以色列人争战，好借以色列人作为祂审判的器皿来毁灭他们。他们故意拒绝真神，因而犯下大恶，不配留在那地上，如同口中所吐的污秽（利18:24, 25）。

Joshua 11:21 Anakim. Enemies who dwelt in the southern area which Joshua had defeated. They descended from Anak ("long-necked") and were related to the giants who made Israel's spies feel small as grasshoppers by comparison (Num. 13:28–33). Their territory was later given to Caleb as a reward for his loyalty (14:6–15).
约书亚记 11:21 亚衲族人。 居住在约书亚已征服的南方地区的敌人。他们是亚衲（意为"长颈"）的后裔，与那些使以色列探子自觉如蚱蜢般渺小的巨人有关（民13:28-33）。他们的领土后来赐给了迦勒，作为他忠心的奖赏（14:6-15）。

Luke 10:42 one thing...good part. Jesus was not speaking of the number of dishes to be served. The one thing necessary was exemplified by Mary, i.e., an attitude of worship and meditation, listening with an open mind and heart to Jesus' words.
路加福音 10:42 但是不可少的只有一件...上好的福分。 耶稣不是在说要上几道菜。必需的那一件事是马利亚所体现的，即敬拜和默想的态度，用开放的心思聆听耶稣的话语。

DAY 11: If we are to love our neighbor, who is our neighbor?
第11天：如果我们要爱邻舍，谁是我们的邻舍？

The lawyer who asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life in Luke 10:25 knew the commandments well enough. But when he asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" we are told that he was "wanting to justify himself" (v. 29). It revealed the man's self-righteous character, as well as his desire to test Christ.
在路加福音10:25中询问耶稣"当怎样行才可以承受永生"的律法师对诫命相当熟悉。但当他问耶稣"谁是我的邻舍"时，经文告诉我们他是"要显明自己有理"（第29节）。这揭示了此人自以为义的品性，以及他想要试探基督的意图。

The prevailing opinion among scribes and Pharisees was that one's neighbors were the righteous alone. According to them, the wicked—including rank sinners (such as tax collectors and prostitutes), Gentiles, and especially Samaritans—were to be hated because they were the enemies of God. They cited Psalm 139:21, 22 to justify their position. As that passage suggests, hatred of evil is the natural corollary of loving righteousness. But the truly righteous person's "hatred" for sinners is not a malevolent enmity. It is a righteous abhorrence of all that is base and corrupt—not a spiteful, personal loathing of individuals. Godly hatred is marked by a brokenhearted grieving over the condition of the sinner. And as Jesus taught here and elsewhere (6:27–36; Matt. 5:44–48), it is also tempered by a genuine love. The Pharisees had elevated hostility toward the wicked to the status of a virtue, in effect nullifying the second Great Commandment. Jesus' answer to this lawyer demolished the Pharisaical excuse for hating one's enemies.
文士和法利赛人普遍认为，一个人的邻舍仅限于义人。按照他们的观点，恶人——包括罪大恶极之人（如税吏和妓女）、外邦人，尤其是撒玛利亚人——都应当被憎恨，因为他们是神的敌人。他们引用诗篇139:21-22来证明自己的立场。正如那段经文所暗示的，恨恶邪恶是爱慕公义的自然结果。但真正义人对罪人的"恨"并非恶意的敌对。这是对一切卑劣和败坏之事的公义憎恶——而非对个人怀有恶毒、私人的厌恶。敬虔的恨是以破碎的心为罪人的境况悲伤为特征的。而且正如耶稣在此处和其他地方所教导的（6:27-36；太5:44-48），这种恨也被真诚的爱所调和。法利赛人将对恶人的敌意提升为美德，实际上废除了第二条大诫命。耶稣对这位律法师的回答，摧毁了法利赛式为恨敌寻找借口的理由。

Contrasting the Levite, a religious person who assisted the priests in the work of the temple, with a despised Samaritan, who rescued the wounded person, Jesus reversed the lawyer's original question (v. 29). The lawyer assumed it was up to others to prove themselves neighbor to him. Jesus' reply makes it clear that each has a responsibility to be a neighbor—especially to those who are in need.
耶稣将利未人（一个在圣殿工作协助祭司的宗教人士）与被藐视的撒玛利亚人（救助受伤者的人）进行对比，扭转了律法师最初的问题（第29节）。律法师假设是由他人来证明自己是他的邻舍。耶稣的回答清楚表明，每个人都有责任成为邻舍——尤其是对那些有需要的人。
