Joshua 14

Caleb’s Request

1Now theseH428 are the territories whichH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 inheritedH5157 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, whichH834 1EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and the headsH7218 of the 2householdsH1 of the tribesH4294 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 apportionedH5157 to them for an inheritanceH5157, 2by the 3lotH1486 of their inheritanceH5159, as the LordH3068 commandedH6680 4throughH3027 MosesH4872, for the nineH8672 tribesH4294 and the half-tribeH2677H4294. 3For 5MosesH4872 had givenH5414 the inheritanceH5159 of the twoH8147 tribesH4294 and the half-tribeH2677H4294 beyondH4480H5676 the JordanH3383; but 6he did not giveH5414 an inheritanceH5159 to the LevitesH3881 amongH8432 them. 4For the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 were twoH8147 tribesH4294, 7ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, and they did not giveH5414 a portionH2506 to the LevitesH3881 in the landH776, exceptH3588H518 citiesH5892 to liveH3427 in, with their pastureH4054 landsH4054 for their livestockH4735 and for their propertyH7075. 5ThusH3651 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 justH3512 8as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872, and they dividedH2505 the landH776.

6Then the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 drewH5066 nearH5066 to JoshuaH3091 in GilgalH1537, and 9CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 the KenizziteH7074 saidH559 to him, “You knowH3045 the wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430 concerningH5921H182 10you and me in Kadesh-barneaH6947. 7I was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when 11MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LordH3068 sentH7971 me from Kadesh-barneaH6947 to spyH7270 out the landH776, and I broughtH7725 wordH1697 backH7725 to him as it was in my heartH3824. 8Nevertheless my brethrenH251 whoH834 wentH5927 up with me made the heartH3820 of the peopleH5971 12meltH4529 with fearH4529; but 13I followedH310 the LordH3068 my GodH430 fullyH4390. 9So MosesH4872 sworeH7650 on that dayH3117, sayingH559, ‘SurelyH518H3808 14the landH776 on whichH834 your footH7272 has troddenH1869 will be an inheritanceH5159 to you and to your childrenH1121 foreverH5704H5769, becauseH3588 you have followedH310 the LordH3068 my GodH430 fullyH4390.’ 10NowH6258 beholdH2009, the LordH3068 has let me liveH2421, justH3512 as He spokeH1696, theseH2088 forty-fiveH705H2568 yearsH8141, from the timeH227 that the LordH3068 spokeH1696 thisH2088 wordH1697 to MosesH4872, whenH834 IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 in the wildernessH4057; and nowH6258 beholdH2009, I am eighty-fiveH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121 todayH3117. 1115I am stillH5750 as strongH2389 todayH3117 as I was in the dayH3117 MosesH4872 sentH7971 me; as my strengthH3581 was thenH227, so my strengthH3581 is nowH6258, for warH4421 and for 16goingH3318 out and comingH935 in. 12NowH6258 then, giveH5414 me thisH2088 hillH2022 countryH2022 about whichH834 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 on that dayH3117, for you heardH8085 on that dayH3117 that 17AnakimH6062 were thereH8033, with greatH1419 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892; perhapsH194 the LordH3068 will be with me, and I will 18driveH3423 them out as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.”

13So JoshuaH3091 19blessedH1288 him and 20gaveH5414 HebronH2275 to CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 for an inheritanceH5159. 14ThereforeH5921H3651, HebronH2275 becameH1961 the inheritanceH5159 of CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 the KenizziteH7074 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, becauseH3282H834 he followedH310 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 fullyH4390. 15Now the nameH8034 of HebronH2275 was formerlyH6440 21Kiriath-arbaH7153; for Arba was the greatestH1419 manH120 among the AnakimH6062. 22Then the landH776 hadH8252 restH8252 from warH4421.
