Joshua 14

14And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, ^awhich 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. ^2bBy lot was their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. ^3cFor Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them. ⁴For ^dthe children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their ^ecattle and for their substance. ^5fAs the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.

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. ^10*And 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. ¹⁴Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he ^xwholly followed the Lord God of Israel. ¹⁵And ^ythe name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. ^zAnd the land had rest from war.
