ASV_Strong : Joshua 14
1. And these are the inheritances which the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] took[H5157] in the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], which Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], and Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126], and the heads[H7218] of the fathers[H1]' houses of the tribes[H4294] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], distributed unto them[H5157],
2. by the lot[H1486] of their inheritance[H5159], as Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] by[H3027] Moses[H4872], for the nine[H8672] tribes[H4294], and for the[H2677] half-tribe[H4294].
3. For Moses[H4872] had given[H5414] the inheritance[H5159] of the two[H8147] tribes[H4294] and the[H2677] half-tribe[H4294] beyond[H5676] the Jordan[H3383]: but unto the Levites[H3881] he gave[H5414] no inheritance[H5159] among them[H8432].
4. For the children[H1121] of Joseph[H3130] were two[H8147] tribes[H4294], Manasseh[H4519] and Ephraim[H669]: and they gave[H5414] no portion[H2506] unto the Levites[H3881] in the land[H776], save cities[H5892] to dwell[H3427] in[H4054], with the suburbs thereof for their cattle[H4735] and for their substance[H7075].
5. As Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872], so the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] did[H6213]; and they divided[H2505] the land[H776].
6. Then the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] drew[H5066] nigh unto Joshua[H3091] in Gilgal[H1537]: and Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312] the Kenizzite[H7074] said[H559] unto him[H3045], Thou knowest the thing[H1697] that Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872] the man[H376] of God[H430] concerning me[H182] and concerning thee[H182] in Kadesh-barnea[H6947].
7. Forty[H705] years[H8141] old[H1121] was I when Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of Jehovah[H3068] sent[H7971] me from Kadesh-barnea[H6947] to spy out[H7270] the land[H776]; and I brought[H7725] him word[H1697] again[H7725] as it was in my heart[H3824].
8. Nevertheless my brethren[H251] that went up[H5927] with me made the heart[H3820] of the people[H5971] melt[H4529]; but I wholly[H4390] followed[H310] Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430].
9. And Moses[H4872] sware[H7650] on that day[H3117], saying[H559], Surely the land[H776] whereon thy foot[H7272] hath trodden[H1869] shall be an inheritance[H5159] to thee and to thy children[H1121] for[H5704] ever[H5769], because thou hast wholly[H4390] followed[H310] Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430].
10. And now[H3068], behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive[H2421], as he spake[H1696], these forty[H705] and five[H2568] years[H8141], from the time[H227] that Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] this word[H1697] unto Moses[H4872], while Israel[H3478] walked[H1980] in the wilderness[H4057]: and now[H3117], lo, I am this day fourscore[H8084] and five[H2568] years[H8141] old[H1121].
11. As yet I am as strong[H2389] this day[H3117] as I as in the day[H3117] that Moses[H4872] sent[H7971] me[H3581]: as my strength was then[H3581], even so is my strength now[H4421], for war, and to go out[H3318] and to come in[H935].
12. Now therefore give[H5414] me this hill-country[H2022], whereof Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] in that day[H3117]; for thou heardest[H8085] in that day[H3117] how the Anakim[H6062] were there[H5892], and cities great[H1419] and fortified[H1219]: it may be that Jehovah[H3068] will be[H194] with[H854] me[H3423], and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696].
13. And Joshua[H3091] blessed[H1288] him[H5414]; and he gave Hebron[H2275] unto Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312] for an inheritance[H5159].
14. Therefore Hebron[H2275] became the inheritance[H5159] of Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312] the Kenizzite[H7074] unto this day[H3117]; because that he wholly[H4390] followed[H310] Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478].
15. Now the name[H8034] of Hebron[H2275] beforetime[H6440] was Kiriath-arba[H7153]; which Arba was the greatest[H1419] man[H120] among the Anakim[H6062]. And the land[H776] had rest[H8252] from war[H4421].
