1And 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 to them, 2by the lot of their inheritance, as Yehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. 3For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. 4For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their cattle and for their substance. 5As Yehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land. 6Then the children of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, You know the thing that Yehovah spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh-barnea. 7I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. 8Nevertheless my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yehovah my God. 9And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yehovah my God. 10And now, behold, Yehovah has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yehovah spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, look, I am this day eighty-five years old. 11I am still as strong this day as I was on 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. 12Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yehovah spoke on that day; for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Yehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yehovah spoke. 13And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. 14Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because he wholly followed Yehovah, the God of Israel. 15Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba; this Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
