1
And these [are] they [of] the sons of Israel who inherited in the land of Canaan , whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel , caused to inherit;
2
by lot [is] their inheritance , as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses , for the nine of the tribes, and the half of the tribe ;
3
for Moses hath given the inheritance of two of the tribes, and of half of the tribe , beyond the Jordan , and to the Levites he hath not given an inheritance in their midst ;
4
for the sons of Joseph hath been two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim , and they have not given a portion to the Levites in the land , except cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle , and for their possessions ;
5
as Jehovah commanded Moses , so have the sons of Israel done, and they apportion the land .
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 .
