Joshua:14:6-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal .
And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him : "
You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea .
*
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 back word to him as it was in my heart .
*
Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt ,
but I wholly followed the LORD my God .
*
So Moses swore on that day ,
saying , "
Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children '
s forever ,
because you have wholly followed the LORD my God .'
*
And now ,
behold ,
the LORD has kept me alive ,
as He said ,
these forty-five years ,
ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness ;
and now ,
here I am this day ,
eighty-five years old .
*
As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me ;
just as my strength was then ,
so now is my strength for war ,
both for going out and for coming in .
*
Now therefore ,
give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day ;
for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there ,
and that the cities were great and fortified .
It may be that the LORD will be with me ,
and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said ."
*
And Joshua blessed him ,
and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance .
*
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day ,
because he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel .
*
And the name of Hebron formerly was Kirjath Arba (
Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim ).
Then the land had rest from war .
