Joshua 14:6-15

Hebron Given to Caleb

⁶ And the sons of Judah come nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite saith unto him, 'Thou hast known the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses the man of God, concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-Barnea: ⁷ a son of forty years 'am' I in Moses, servant of Jehovah, sending me from Kadesh-Barnea, to spy the land, and I bring him back word as with my heart; ⁸ and my brethren who have gone up with me have caused the heart of the people to melt, and I have been fully after Jehovah my God; ⁹ and Moses sweareth in that day, saying, If not—the land on which thy foot hath trodden, to thee it is for inheritance, and to thy sons—to the age, for thou hast been fully after Jehovah my God. ¹⁰ 'And, now, lo, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as He hath spoken, these forty and five years, since Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, when Israel went in the wilderness; and now, lo, I 'am' to-day a son of five and eighty years; ¹¹ yet 'am' I to-day strong as in the day of Moses' sending me; as my power then, so 'is' my power now, for battle, and to go out, and to come in. ¹² 'And now, give to me this hill-country, of which Jehovah spake in that day, for thou didst hear in that day, for Anakim 'are' there, and cities, great, fenced; if so be Jehovah 'is' with me, then I have dispossessed them, as Jehovah hath spoken.' ¹³ And Joshua blesseth him, and giveth Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance, ¹⁴ therefore hath Hebron been to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite for an inheritance unto this day, because that he was fully after Jehovah, God of Israel; ¹⁵ and the name of Hebron formerly 'is' Kirjath-Arba (he 'is' the great man among the Anakim); and the land hath rest from war.
