Joshua 14:6–13

⁶Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the ^gKenezite said unto him, Thou knowest ^hthe thing that the Lord said unto Moses ⁱthe man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea. ⁷Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord ^jsent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. ⁸Nevertheless ^kmy brethren that went up with me ^kmade the heart of the people melt: but I wholly ^lfollowed the Lord my God. ⁹And Moses sware on that day, saying, ^mSurely the land ⁿwhereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast ^lwholly followed the Lord my God. ¹⁰And now behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, ^oas he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now lo, I am this day ^pfourscore and five years old. ^11qAs 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 ^rto go out, and to come in. ¹²Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how ^sthe 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 ^tblessed him, and ^ugave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
