‏ Joshua 14

CHAPTER 14

The Land of Canaan Allotted to Israel

1And these are  the ones inheriting of the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan, which [4allotted 5to them 1Eleazar 2the 3priest], and Joshua the son of  Nun, and the rulers of families of the tribes of the sons of Israel. 2According to lots they inherited, in which manner the lord gave charge by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. 3[3gave 1for 2Moses] a lot to the two tribes and to the half tribe of the other side of the Jordan. And to the Levites [2was not given 1a lot] among them. 4For [4were 1the 2sons 3of Joseph] two tribes -- Manasseh and Ephraim. And [2was not 3given 1a portion] to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, and   their outskirts   for their cattle and   their herds. 5In which manner the lord gave charge   to Moses, so [4did 1the 2sons 3of Israel], and they portioned the land. 6And there came forward sons of Judah to Joshua in Gilgal. And said to him Caleb the son of  Jephunneh the Kenezite, You know the word which the lord spoke to Moses the man   of God concerning me and you in Kadesh Barnea. 7[3forty 1For 4years old  2I was] when [5sent 6me 1Moses 2the 3servant   4of God] from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I answered him a word according to   his mind. 8But my brethren the ones ascending with me changed over the mind of the people. But I proceeded to follow after the lord    my God. 9And Moses swore by an oath in   that day, saying that, The land upon which you mounted in it will be yours by lot, and to  your children into the eon, for you proceeded to follow after the lord    my God. 10And now, [2maintained 3me 1the lord] in which manner he said this fortieth and fifth year, from which the lord spoke   this word to Moses; and Israel went in the wilderness. And now behold, I am today a son eighty and five years old. 11Yet I am today of strength as when [2sent 3me 1Moses], likewise I am strong now [4for   5war 1to go forth 2and 3to enter]. 12And now I ask you   this mountain as the lord said   in that day, for you heard   this word in   that day, saying, And now the Anakim are there, in cities great and fortified. If then the lord  [2with 3me 1should be], I shall utterly destroy them in which manner [2spoke 3to me 1the lord]. 13And [2blessed 3him 1Joshua], and he gave   Hebron to  Caleb son of Jephunneh by lot. 14On account of this Hebron came   to Caleb, to the son of  Jephunneh the Kenezite by lot until   today's day, because   he followed after the order of the lord    God of Israel. 15And the name   of Hebron   formerly was City Arbai, [2is the mother-city 3of the 4Anakim 1this]. Then the land abated   of war.
