JOSHUA ยท Chapter 14
14:1 And 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.
14:2 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand
of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
14:3 For 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.
14:4 For the 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 cattle and for their substance.
14:5 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and
they divided the land.
14:6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb
the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, You know the thing that
the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadeshbarnea.
14:7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent
me from Kadeshbarnea to monitor out the land; and I brought him word again
as it was in mine heart.
14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of
the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
14:9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon your
feet have trodden shall be your inheritance, and your children's for ever,
because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.
14:10 And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he said, these
forty and five years, even since the LORD spoke this word unto Moses, while
the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this
day fourscore and five years old.
14:11 As 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.
14:12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof 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.
14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh
Hebron for an inheritance.
14:14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh
the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God
of Israel.
14:15 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was
a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
