* Then the sons of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal . And Caleb , the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite , said to him , You know the thing that the LORD said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea regarding you and me . * I [was ] forty years old 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 brothers that went up with me made the heart of the people melt ; yet I fully followed the LORD my God . * And Moses swore on that day , saying , Surely the land on which your feet have trodden shall be your inheritance , and your sons ' forever because you have fully followed the LORD my God . * And now , behold , the LORD has kept me alive these forty-five years as He said , even since the LORD spoke this word to Moses , while Israel wandered in the wilderness . And now , lo , I am eighty-five years old today . * As yet I [am as ] strong today as [I was ] in the day that Moses sent me . As my strength [was ] then , even so [is ] my strength now , for war , both to go out and to come in . * And now give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke on that day . For you heard in that day [how ] the giants [were ] there , and that the cities were great and fortified . If the LORD will be with me , then I will be able to drive them out , as the LORD said . * And Joshua blessed him , and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance . * And Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb , the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite , to this day , because he fully followed the LORD God of Israel . * And the name of Hebron before [was ] Kirjath-arba ; that one [was ] a great man among the giants . And the land had rest from war .
