Bible. Joshua
14:9. And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath
trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children for ever, because
thou hast followed the Lord my God.
14:10. The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until
this present day, It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this
word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I
am eighty-five years old,
14:11. As strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land:
the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to
fight as to march.
14:12. Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy
hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if
so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as
he promised me.
14:13. And Josue blessed him, and gave him Hebron in possession.
14:14. And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone
the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the
God of Israel.
14:15. The name of Hebron before was called Cariath-Arbe: Adam the
greatest among the Enacims was laid there and the land rested from wars.
Josue Chapter 15
The borders of the lot of Juda. Caleb's portion and conquest. The cities
of Juda.
15:1. Now the lot of the children of Juda by their kindreds was this:
From the frontier of Edom, to the desert of Sin southward, and to the
uttermost part of the south coast.
15:2. Its beginning was from the top of the most salt sea, and from the
bay thereof, that looketh to the south.
15:3. And it goeth out towards the ascent of the Scorpion, and passeth
on to Sina: and ascendeth into Cadesbarne, and reacheth into Esron,
going up to Addar, and compassing Carcaa.
15:4. And from thence passing along into Asemona, and reaching the
torrent of Egypt: and the bounds thereof shall be the great sea, this
shall be the limit of the south coast.
15:5. But on the east side the beginning shall be the most salt sea even
to the end of the Jordan: and towards the north from the bay of the sea
unto the same river Jordan.
15:6. And the border goeth up into Beth-Hagla, and passeth by the north
into Beth-Araba: going up to the stone of Boen the son of Ruben.
15:7. And reaching as far as the borders of Debara from the valley of
Achor, and so northward looking towards Galgal, which is opposite to the
ascent of Adommin, on the south side of the torrent, and the border
passeth the waters that are called the fountain of the sun: and the
goings out thereof shall be at the fountain Rogel.
15:8. And it goeth up by the valley of the son of Ennom on the side of
the Jebusite towards the south, the same is Jerusalem: and thence
ascending to the top of the mountain, which is over against Geennom to
the west in the end of the valley of Raphaim, northward.
