The people of Joseph said to Joshua,“ Why have you given us only one allotment and one portion for an inheritance? We are a numerous people, and the Lord has blessed us abundantly.”

The people in the family line of Joseph spoke to Joshua. They said,“ Why have you given us only one share of the land to have as our own? There are large numbers of us. The Lord has blessed us greatly.”

Then the people of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying,“ Why have you given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, although I am a numerous people, since all along the Lord has blessed me?”

The descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked,“ Why have you given us only one portion of land as our homeland when the Lord has blessed us with so many people?”

Joseph’s descendants said to Joshua,“ Why did you give us only one tribal allotment as an inheritance? We have many people, because the LORD has been blessing us greatly.”

Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying,“ Why have you given me only one lot and one portion as an inheritance, though I am a numerous people whom the Lord has blessed up to this point?”

Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying,“ Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the Lord has blessed us until now?”

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me?

Joseph’s descendants said to Joshua,“ Why did you give us only one tribal allotment as an inheritance? We have many people, because the Lord has been blessing us greatly.”

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?

The descendants of Joseph said to Joshua,“ Why have you assigned us only one tribal allotment? After all, we have many people, for until now the LORD has enabled us to increase in number.”

The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying,“ Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since we are a numerous people, because Yahweh has blessed us so far?”

昔我以刃以弓、奪亞摩哩人之地、必以頒爾、較諸昆為尤多。

父不許、曰、吾子、我知之矣。此子亦將昌大、為一族之祖、惟季必超越於長、其裔必為群族祖。

此馬拿西之子孫計五萬二千七百。○以法蓮生書提拉與其眷聚、庇結與其眷聚、大漢與其眷聚、書提拉生以蘭與其眷聚、以法蓮之子孫、計三萬二千五百、以上所載、馬拿西以法蓮二人之子孫、俱出自約瑟。○

約瑟如蔥蘢之樹、植於泉旁、其枝蔓延踰垣。昔約瑟為矢人所困、爭競而窘遂之。恃以色列有力之牧者、即雅各有能之上帝、故其弓仍勁、其手尚強。爾父之上帝、眷祐於爾、全能之主、錫嘏於爾、天上之繁祉、地下之名泉、產育乳哺之福。爾父之福、恆久不已、勝於亙古山嶽所出之寶物、昔約瑟遠兄弟而去、此福必歸其首。

其論約瑟則曰、願耶和華錫嘏於其地、以天上之甘露、地下之名泉、日所產之珍奇、月所生之寶物、恆山之嘉品、古嶽之寶器、地與土產之寶、俱錫於彼。昔約瑟遠兄弟而去、願居於棘中者降福於其首。其榮如牛之首生、其角如兕角、以將抵觸異邦、至於地極、所謂以法蓮之萬人、馬拿西之千人、即此。
