Chap. XIIII.
Caleb of the tribe of Iuda (seing some knew their lottes already, and that the
whole land was now to be diuided) 6. demandeth, according to Gods
promise made by Moyses (for his true and good report of the same land,
when he with others viewed it) that Hebron be geuen him, and his seede
to inherite, 13. which Iosue confirmeth vnto him.
1 This is it, which the children of Israel possessed in the
Land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Iosue
the sonne of Nun, & the princes of the families by the tribes
-- --
Calebs portion.
of Israel gaue to them:
2 diuiding al thinges by lotte, as our
Lord had commanded in the hand of Moyses, to the nine
tribes, and the half tribe.
3 For to two tribes and a half
Moyses had geuen possession beyond Iordan: besides the Leuites,
which receiued no land among their brethren:
4 but
note into their place succeded the children of Ioseph diuided
into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the
Leuites receiue other portion in the Land, but cities to inhabite,
and their suburbes to feede their beastes and cattel.
5 As
our Lord had commanded Moyses, so did the children of
Israel, and they diuided the Land.
6 Therfore the children
of Iuda came to Iosue in Galgal, and Caleb the sonne of Iephone
the Cenezeite spake to him: Thou knowest what our
Lord spake to Moyses the man of God concerning me & thee
in Cadesbarne.
7 Fourtie yeares old was I when Moyses the
seruant of our Lord sent me from Cadesbarne, to view the
Land, and I reported to him that which to me semed true.
8 But my brethren, that had gone vp with me, discouraged
the hart of the people: and I neuertheles folowed our Lord
my God.
9 And Moyses sware in that day, saying: The Land,
which thy foote hath troden, shal be thy possession, and thy
childrens for euer, because thou hast folowed our Lord my
God.
10 Our Lord therfore hath granted me life, as he promised
vntil this present day. It is note fourtie and fiue yeares, since
our Lord spake this worde to Moyses, when Israel walked
through the wildernes: this day am I eightie and fiue yeares
old
11 so lustie, as I was at that time when I was sent to view:
the strength of that time contineweth in me vntil this day,
as wel to fight as to goe.
12 Geue me therfore this mountaine,
which our Lord promised, thy selfe also hearing it, wherein
are the Enacims, and great cities and fensed: note if perhaps our
Lord be with me, and I shal be able to destroy them, as he
promised me.
13 And Iosue blessed him, and deliuered to him
Hebron in possession.
14 And from thence forth note Hebron belonged
to Caleb the sonne of Iephone the Cenezeite, vntil
this present day: because he folowed our Lord the God of
Israel.
15 The name of Hebron before was called Cariath
Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was layd there:
and note the Land ceased from battels.
