Book 06 : JOSHUA - Chapter 014
014:001
By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the
hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe
014:002
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
014:003
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
014:004
As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did,
and they divided the land
014:005
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
014:006
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
014:007
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart
of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God
014:008
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
014:009
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
014:010
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
014:011
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
014:012
And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of
Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance
014:013
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
014:014
And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was
a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war
