06_JOS_14_01 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.
06_JOS_14_02 by lot [ was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, And [ for] the half tribe.
06_JOS_14_03 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.
06_JOS_14_04 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.
06_JOS_14_05 as the LORD commanded Moses, So the children of Israel did, And they divided the land.
06_JOS_14_06 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me And thee in Kadeshbarnea.
06_JOS_14_07 forty years old [ was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; And I brought him word again as [ it was] in mine heart.
06_JOS_14_08 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
06_JOS_14_09 And Moses sware on that day, saying, surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, And thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
06_JOS_14_10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as 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 fourscore And five years old.
06_JOS_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.
06_JOS_14_12 now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest 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.
06_JOS_14_13 And Joshua blessed him, And gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
06_JOS_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.
06_JOS_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.
