Joshua 14
- 1And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
- 2By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
- 3For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and a half tribe on the other side Jordan: but to the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
- 4For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, save cities to live in, with their pasturelands for their cattle and for their substance.
- 5As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
- 6Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said to him, You know the thing that the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadeshbarnea.
- 7Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadeshbarnea to explore the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
- 8But my brothers and sisters who went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I fully followed the Lord my God.
- 9And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land on which your feet have trampled shall be your inheritance, and your children's for ever, because you have fully followed the Lord my God.
- 10And now the Lord has kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now I am this day eighty-five years old.
- 11As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
- 12Now therefore give me this mountain, of which the Lord spoke in that day. For you heard in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said.
- 13And Joshua blessed him, and gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
- 14Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite to this day, because he fully followed the Lord God of Israel.
- 15And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba. Which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
