CHAP. XIV.
1 The nine tribes and a half are to have their
inheritance by lot. 6 Caleb by privilege obtaineth
Hebron.
1 And these are the countries which the
children of Israel inherited in the
land of Canaan, note 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.
2 noteBy lot was their inheritance, as the
Lord commanded by the hand of Moses,
for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
3 For Moses had given the inheritance
of two tribes and a half-tribe on the other
side of Jordan: but to the Levites he gave
no inheritance among them.
4 For the children of Joseph were two
tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore
they gave no part to the Levites in
the land, save cities to dwell in, with
their suburbs for their cattle, and for
their substance.
5 noteAs the Lord commanded Moses,
so the children of Israel did, and they divided
the land.
6 ¶2; Then the children of Judah came
to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son
of Jephunneh the Kenezite said to him,
Thou knowest the thing that the Lord
said to Moses the man of God concerning
me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Forty years old was I when Moses
the servant of the Lord sent me from
Kadesh-barnea to explore the land; and
I brought him word again as it was in my
heart.
8 Nevertheless, my brethren that went
up with me made the heart of the people
melt: but I wholly note followed the Lord
my God.
9 And Moses swore on that day, saying,
Surely the land on which thy feet
have trodden shall be thy inheritance,
and thy children's for ever; because thou
hast wholly followed the Lord my God.
10 And now, behold, the Lord hath
kept me alive, as he said, these forty and
five years, even since the Lord spoke
this word to Moses, while the children of
Israel note wandered in the wilderness: and
now, lo, I am this day eighty five years
old.
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.
12 Now therefore give me this mountain,
of which the Lord spoke in that
day; for thou hearedst in that day how
the Anakims were there, and that the cities
were great and fortified: if the Lord
will be with me, then I shall be able to
drive them out, as the Lord said.
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave
to Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron
for an inheritance.
14 noteHebron therefore became the inheritance
of Caleb the son of Jephunneh
the Kenezite to this day; because that he
wholly followed the Lord God of Israel.
15 And note the name of Hebron before
was Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a
great man among the Anakims. And
the land had rest from war.
