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{H5157} unto them,

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}

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{H8432} them.

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, with the suburbs{H4054} thereof for their cattle{H4735} and for their substance.{H7075}

As Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses,{H4872} so the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did;{H6213} and they divided{H2505} the land.{H776}

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, Thou knowest{H3045} 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}

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}

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}

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}

And now, behold, Jehovah{H3068} 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, lo, I am this day{H3117} fourscore{H8084} and five{H2568} years{H8141} old.{H1121}

As yet I am as strong{H2389} this day{H3117} as I as in the day{H3117} that Moses{H4872} sent{H7971} me: as my strength{H3581} was then, even so is my strength{H3581} now, for war,{H4421} and to go out{H3318} and to come in.{H935}

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, and cities{H5892} great{H1419} and fortified:{H1219} it may be that Jehovah{H3068} will be{H194} with{H854} me, and I shall drive them out,{H3423} as Jehovah{H3068} spake.{H1696}

And Joshua{H3091} blessed{H1288} him; and he gave{H5414} Hebron{H2275} unto Caleb{H3612} the son{H1121} of Jephunneh{H3312} for an inheritance.{H5159}

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}

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}
