(사사기 1:11-21)
가나안 정복은 계속 됩니다. 기럇 세벨을 쳐서 점령하고 그 공으로 옷니엘은 자신의 형(혹은 삼촌) 갈렙의 딸인 악사와 결혼하게 됩니다. 그리고 악사는 재치있고 현명한 요청을 자신의 아버지 갈렙에게 행함으로 윗샘과 아랫샘을 다 받게 됩니다(11-15).
이스라엘 사람은 아니지만, 겐 사람인 모세의 장인 이드로도 가나안 정복에 동참하였고(16), 유다 지파는 여러 가나안 지역(17-18)과 높은 곳에 위치한 헤브론을 점령한 반면(20), 더 강력한 철병거 무기를 가진 골짜기 주민은 쫓아내지 못하게 됩니다(19).
그리고 베냐민 지파는 예루살렘에 거주하는 여부스 족속을 다윗 시대까지 쫓아내지 못한 상황이 되고 말았다고 사사기는 기록하고 있습니다(21).
크리스천에게 주어진 하나님 나라 건설의 삶은 오늘도 계속 되어야 합니다. 이 땅의 모든 영역에 건설되어야 하며, 세속 문화가 너무 강력하게 보인다고 겁먹고, 포기하지 말아야 합니다.
여호와 하나님께서 우리와 함께 하시기 때문입니다(19).
(Judges 1:11–21)
The conquest of Canaan continues. Israel attacks and captures Kiriath-sepher, and as a reward for his victory, Othniel marries Achsah, the daughter of his relative Caleb, who was either his older brother or his uncle. Achsah then makes a wise and thoughtful request of her father Caleb, and as a result, she receives both the upper and lower springs (11–15).
Although the Kenites were not Israelites, they also joined in the conquest of Canaan. Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, was a Kenite, and his descendants participated in the conquest (16). The tribe of Judah captured various regions of Canaan (17–18), including Hebron, which was located in the hill country (20). However, they were unable to drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had stronger weapons—iron chariots (19).
Judges also records that the tribe of Benjamin failed to drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, and they remained there until the time of David (21).
The life of building the kingdom of God, which has been entrusted to Christians, must continue today. We are called to build God’s kingdom in every sphere of life. Even when secular culture appears extremely powerful, we must not be intimidated or give up.
For the LORD our God is with us (19).
