Joshua:14:6-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the sons of Judah came near to in Gilgal ,
and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him ,
You know the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God as to me and as to you in Kadesh-barnea .
*
I was a son of forty years when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land .
And I brought him back word as it was in my heart .
*
But my brothers who went up with me caused the heart of the people to melt ,
yet I fully followed after Jehovah my God .
*
And Moses swore in that day ,
saying ,
Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and for your sons forever ,
because you have fully followed after Jehovah my God .
*
And now ,
behold ,
Jehovah has kept me alive ,
as He said ,
these forty five years since Jehovah spoke this word to Moses ,
when Israel went in the wilderness .
And now ,
behold ,
today I am a son of eighty five years ;
*
yet I am as strong today as in the day Moses sent me .
As my strength was then ,
so is my strength now for war ,
both to go out and to come in .
*
And now ,
give to me this mountain ,
of which Jehovah spoke in that day ,
for you heard in that day how the son of Anak were there ,
and great walled cities .
If Jehovah shall be with me ,
then I shall expel them ,
as Jehovah has spoken .
*
And blessed him ,
and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance .
*
Therefore ,
Hebron has belonged to Caleb the son of Jephunneh ,
the Kenizzite ,
for an inheritance to this day ,
because he fully followed after Jehovah the God of Israel .
*
And the name of Hebron before was City of Arba ;
that one was a great man among the Anakim .
And the land had rest from war .
