Joshua 14:1
|
|
And these are the inheritances which the children
of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the
son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children
of Israel, distributed unto them, |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:2 |
|
by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah
commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 14:3 |
|
For Moses had given the inheritance of the two
tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance
among them. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 14:4 |
|
For the children of Joseph were two tribes,
Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save
cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance.
|
| |
|
|
| Joshua 14:5 |
|
As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children
of Israel did; and they divided the land. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 14:6 |
|
Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua
in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest
the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning
thee in Kadesh-barnea. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 14:7 |
|
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant
of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word
again as it was in my heart. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:8 |
|
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me
made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:9 |
|
And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely
the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to
thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:10 |
|
And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive,
as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this
word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this
day fourscore and five years old. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:11 |
|
As yet I am as strong this day as I as in the
day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for
war, and to go out and to come in. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:12 |
|
Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof
Jehovah spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there,
and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I
shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:13 |
|
And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto
Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:14 |
|
Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb
the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed
Jehovah, the God of Israel. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 14:15 |
|
Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba;
which Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
