06:014:002 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the
hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
06:014:003 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an
half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none
inheritance among them.
06:014:004 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and
Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save
cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their
substance.
06:014:005 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did,
and they divided the land.
06:014:006 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the
thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and
thee in Kadeshbarnea.
06:014:007 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD
sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word
again as it was in mine heart.
06:014:008 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart
of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
06:014:009 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon
thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's
for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
06:014:010 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said,
these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto
Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and
now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
06:014:011 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that
Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for
war, both to go out, and to come in.
06:014:012 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake
in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there,
and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be
with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
06:014:013 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of
Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
06:014:014 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of
Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed
the LORD God of Israel.
06:014:015 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba
was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
06:015:001 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah
by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin
southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
06:015:002 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea,
from the bay that looketh southward:
