* And the children of Judah came near unto Joshua in Gilgal ; and Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him , Thou well knowest the word which the Lord spoke unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thyself in Kadesh –barnea ’. * Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh –barnea ’ to spy out the land ; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart . * But my brethren who had gone up with me caused the heart of the people to be faint ; but I wholly followed the Lord my God . * And Moses swore on that day , saying , Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall belong to thee for an inheritance , and to thy children for ever ; because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God . * And now , behold , the Lord hath kept me alive , as he hath spoken : it is now forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word unto Moses , while Israel wandered in the wilderness ; and now , behold , I am this day eighty and five years old . * I am yet this day as strong 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 . * Now therefore give me this mountain , whereof the Lord spoke on that day ; for thou didst hear on that day that the ‘Anakim were there , and great fortified cities : perhaps the Lord will be with me , and I shall drive them out , as the Lord hath spoken . * And Joshua blessed him , and gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Yephunneh for an inheritance . * Therefore did Hebron become the inheritance of Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day ; for the cause that he had wholly followed the Lord the God of Israel . * And the name of Hebron was aforetimes Kiryatharba ’, who was the greatest man among the ‘Anakim . And the land had rest from war .
