*
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal :
and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him ,
Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea .
*
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land ;
and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart .
*
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt :
but I wholly followed the LORD my God .
*
And Moses sware on that day ,
saying ,
Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance ,
and thy children '
s for ever ,
because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God .
*
And now ,
behold ,
the LORD hath kept me alive ,
as he said ,
these forty and five years ,
even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses ,
while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness :
and now ,
lo ,
I am this day fourscore and five years old .
*
As yet I am as strong this day 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 .
*
Now therefore give me this mountain ,
whereof the LORD spake in that day ;
for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there ,
and that the cities were great and fenced :
if so be the LORD will be with me ,
then I shall be able to drive them out ,
as the LORD said .
*
And Joshua blessed him ,
and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance .
*
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day ,
because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel .
*
And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba ;
which Arba was a great man among the Anakims .
And the land had rest from war .
