And these are the countries which the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]inherited[H5157] in the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], which Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], and Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126], and the heads[H7218] of the fathers[H1] of the tribes[H4294] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], distributed for inheritance[H5157] to them.
2
By lot[H1486] was their inheritance[H5159], as the LORD[H3068]commanded[H6680] by the hand[H3027] of Moses[H4872], for the nine[H8672]tribes[H4294], and for the half[H2677]tribe[H4294].
3
For Moses[H4872] had given[H5414] the inheritance[H5159] of two[H8147]tribes[H4294] and an half[H2677]tribe[H4294] on the other side[H5676]Jordan[H3383]: but unto the Levites[H3881] he gave[H5414] none inheritance[H5159]among[H8432] them.
4
For the children[H1121] of Joseph[H3130] were two[H8147]tribes[H4294], Manasseh[H4519] and Ephraim[H669]: therefore they gave[H5414] no part[H2506] unto the Levites[H3881] in the land[H776], save cities[H5892] to dwell[H3427] in, with their suburbs[H4054] for their cattle[H4735] and for their substance[H7075].
5
As the LORD[H3068]commanded[H6680]Moses[H4872], so the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]did[H6213], and they divided[H2505] the land[H776].
6
Then the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063]came[H5066] unto Joshua[H3091] in Gilgal[H1537]: and Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312] the Kenezite[H7074]said[H559] unto him, Thou knowest[H3045] the thing[H1697] that the LORD[H3068]said[H1696] unto Moses[H4872] the man[H376] of God[H430] concerning me[H182] and thee[H182] in Kadeshbarnea[H6947].
7Forty[H705]years[H8141]old[H1121] was I when Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of the LORD[H3068]sent[H7971] me from Kadeshbarnea[H6947] to espy out[H7270] the land[H776]; and I brought[H7725] him word[H1697]again[H7725] as it was in mine heart[H3824].
8
Nevertheless my brethren[H251] that went up[H5927] with me made the heart[H3820] of the people[H5971]melt[H4529]: but I wholly[H4390]followed[H310] the LORD[H3068] my God[H430].
9
And Moses[H4872]sware[H7650] on that day[H3117], saying[H559], Surely the land[H776] whereon thy feet[H7272] have trodden[H1869] shall be thine inheritance[H5159], and thy children's for[H5704]ever[H5769], because thou hast wholly[H4390]followed[H310] the LORD[H3068] my God[H430].
10
And now, behold, the LORD[H3068] hath kept me alive[H2421], as he said[H1696], these forty[H705] and five[H2568]years[H8141], even since[H227] the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] this word[H1697] unto Moses[H4872], while the children of Israel[H3478]wandered[H1980] in the wilderness[H4057]: and now, lo, I am this day[H3117]fourscore[H8084] and five[H2568]years[H8141]old[H1121].
11
As yet I am as strong[H2389] this day[H3117] as I was in[H935] the day[H3117] that Moses[H4872]sent[H7971] me: as my strength[H3581] was then, even so is my strength[H3581] now, for war[H4421], both to go out[H3318], and to come in[H935].
12
Now therefore give[H5414] me this mountain[H2022], whereof the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] in that day[H3117]; for thou heardest[H8085] in that day[H3117] how the Anakims[H6062] were there, and that the cities[H5892] were great[H1419] and fenced[H1219]: if so be[H194] the LORD[H3068] will be[H194]with[H854] me, then I shall be[H194] able to drive them out[H3423], as the LORD[H3068]said[H1696].
13
And Joshua[H3091]blessed[H1288] him, and gave[H5414] unto Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312]Hebron[H2275] for an inheritance[H5159].
14Hebron[H2275] therefore became the inheritance[H5159] of Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312] the Kenezite[H7074] unto this day[H3117], because that he wholly[H4390]followed[H310] the LORD[H3068]God[H430] of Israel[H3478].
15
And the name[H8034] of Hebron[H2275]before[H6440] was Kirjatharba[H7153]; which Arba was a great[H1419]man[H120] among the Anakims[H6062]. And the land[H776] had rest[H8252] from war[H4421].
