充满牛奶和蜂蜜的应许之地（英汉对照）
The promised land flowing with milk and honey
迦南地是指圣经中提到的被应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的后代以色列人的土地。它位于地中海东部，西临地中海，东临约旦河，南临西奈半岛，北临金牛座山脉，包括现代以色列、巴勒斯坦、约旦以及叙利亚和伊拉克的部分地区。在从埃及河一直延伸到幼发拉底河的这片广袤的土地上，居住着许多不同的民族，包括基尼人、基尼洗人、迦摩尼人、赫人、比利洗人、利弗海人、亚摩利人、迦南人、吉迦士人和耶布斯人，以色列人是居住在该地区的众多部落之一。
以色列人前往应许之地的旅程始于国父亚伯拉罕。亚伯拉罕被至高者召唤离开他在美索不达米亚的家，前往迦南地。至高者答应把这块地赐给亚伯拉罕和他的子孙作为他们的产业。亚伯拉罕听从呼召，与他的妻子撒拉和侄子罗得往迦南去。亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒和他的孙子雅各也得到了同样的应许。雅各后来改名为以色列，他有十二个儿子，成为以色列十二个部落的首领。雅各的儿子约瑟成为法老的二把手后，以色列人在埃及生活了几代。然而，他们后来在埃及成为奴隶，直到摩西被至高者召唤带领他们摆脱奴隶制，回到应许之地。
在以色列人进入应许之地前，摩西派遣十二名侦探进入迦南地对其进行探索。侦探带回了一份报告说，他们即将进入的土地是一片富饶的土地，是一片盛产小麦和大麦、葡萄树和无花果树、石榴、橄榄油和蜂蜜的土地。这块土地丰富肥沃，但它也戒备森严，居住着强大的国家。
以色列人前往应许之地的旅程并不简单。他们在沙漠中游荡了四十年，一路上面临着许多挑战。他们必须克服恐惧、怀疑、饥饿、严寒酷暑等恶劣条件的考验。以色列人在旷野游荡四十年后，在约书亚的带领下，终于进入迦南地。约书亚书描述了他们对这片土地的征服，他们一个接一个地击败了迦南人的城市。这片土地被划分为以色列的十二个部落，每个部落都有自己的产业。
应许之地代表着以色列人的安息、和平和富足之地。当以色列人进入迦南地时，他们终于能够安定下来，享受他们的劳动成果。这块土地被描述为肥沃繁荣的土地，富含矿物质和水。这块土地也位于战略位置，使其成为一个有价值的贸易中心。迦南地不仅具有重要的历史意义，而且具有重要的精神意义。这是一块对以色列人历史至关重要的土地，也是一块在世界历史上发挥重要作用的土地。
The land of Canaan refers to the land promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as mentioned in the Bible. It is located in the east of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the west, the Jordan River to the east, the Sinai Peninsula to the south, and the Taurus Mountains to the north, including modern Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and parts of Syria and Iraq. On the vast land stretching from the Egyptian River to the Euphrates, there are many different nationalities, including the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.The Israeli is one of the many tribes living in the region.
The journey of the Israelites to the promised land began with their father Abraham. Abraham was called by the Most High to leave his home in Mesopotamia and go to Canaan. The Most High promised to give this land to Abraham and his descendants as their inheritance. Abraham obeyed the call and went to Canaan with his wife Sarah and nephew Lot. Abraham’s son Isaac and his grandson Jacob also received the same promise. Jacob later changed his name to Israel, and he had twelve sons who became leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel. After Joseph son of Jacob became Pharaoh’s second in command, Israel in Egypt lived in Egypt for several generations. However, they later became slaves in Egypt until Moses was summoned by the Most High to lead them away from slavery and back to the promised land.
Before the Israelites entered the promised land, Moses sent twelve detectives into the land of Canaan to explore it. The detective brought back a report saying that the land they were about to enter was a fertile land rich in wheat and barley, grape trees and Fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey. This land is rich and fertile, but it is also heavily guarded and inhabited by a powerful country.
The journey of the Israelites to the promised land is not simple. They wandered in the desert for forty years, facing many challenges along the way. They must overcome the test of harsh conditions such as fear, doubt, hunger, extreme cold and heat. After wandering in the wilderness for forty years, the Israelites finally entered the land of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua. Joshua described their conquest of this land, one by one defeating the cities of the Canaanites. This land is divided into twelve tribes in Israel, each with its own inheritance.
The promised land represents the land of rest, peace, and prosperity for the Israelites. When the Israelites entered the land of Canaan, they were finally able to settle down and enjoy the fruits of their labor. This land is described as fertile and prosperous, rich in minerals and water. This land is also strategically located, making it a valuable trade center. The land of Canaan not only has significant historical significance, but also has significant spiritual significance. This is a land that is crucial to the history of Israel and plays an important role in Human history.
