Joshua 14

CHAPTER 14 The Land of Canaan Allotted to Israel

1 And these are the ones inheriting of the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan, which [⁴allotted ⁵to them ¹Eleazar ²the ³priest], and Joshua the son of Nun, and the rulers of families of the tribes of the sons of Israel. 2 According to lots they inherited, in which manner the lord gave charge by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. 3 [³gave ¹for ²Moses] a lot to the two tribes and to the half tribe of the other side of the Jordan. And to the Levites [²was not given ¹a lot] among them. 4 For [⁴were ¹the ²sons ³of Joseph] two tribes -- Manasseh and Ephraim. And [²was not ³given ¹a portion] to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, and their outskirts for their cattle and their herds. 5 In which manner the lord gave charge to Moses, so [⁴did ¹the ²sons ³of Israel], and they portioned the land. 6 And there came forward sons of Judah to Joshua in Gilgal. And said to him Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, You know the word which the lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadesh Barnea. 7 [³forty ¹For ⁴years old ²I was] when [⁵sent ⁶me ¹Moses ²the ³servant ⁴of God] from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I answered him a word according to his mind. 8 But my brethren the ones ascending with me changed over the mind of the people. But I proceeded to follow after the lord my God. 9 And Moses swore by an oath in that day, saying that, The land upon which you mounted in it will be yours by lot, and to your children into the eon, for you proceeded to follow after the lord my God. 10 And now, [²maintained ³me ¹the lord] in which manner he said this fortieth and fifth year, from which the lord spoke this word to Moses; and Israel went in the wilderness. And now behold, I am today a son eighty and five years old. 11 Yet I am today of strength as when [²sent ³me ¹Moses], likewise I am strong now [⁴for ⁵war ¹to go forth ²and ³to enter]. 12 And now I ask you this mountain as the lord said in that day, for you heard this word in that day, saying, And now the Anakim are there, in cities great and fortified. If then the lord [²with ³me ¹should be], I shall utterly destroy them in which manner [²spoke ³to me ¹the lord]. 13 And [²blessed ³him ¹Joshua], and he gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh by lot. 14 On account of this Hebron came to Caleb, to the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite by lot until today's day, because he followed after the order of the lord God of Israel. 15 And the name of Hebron formerly was City Arbai, [²is the mother-city ³of the ⁴Anakim ¹this]. Then the land abated of war.
