NASB — Joshua 14 — KJV

Caleb’s Request

1 Now these° are [the territories] which° the sons° of Israel° inherited° in the land° of Canaan°, which° aEleazar° the priest°, and Joshua° the son° of Nun°, and the heads° of the Ihouseholds° of the tribes° of the sons° of Israel° apportioned° to them for an inheritance°, 2 by the alot° of their inheritance°, as the LORD° commanded° Ithrough° Moses°, for the nine° tribes° and the half-tribe°°. 3 For aMoses° had given° the inheritance° of the two° tribes° and the half-tribe°° beyond°° the Jordan°; but bhe did not give° an inheritance° to the Levites° among° them. 4 For the sons° of Joseph° were two° tribes°, aManasseh° and Ephraim°, and they did not give° a portion° to the Levites° in the land°, except°° cities° to live° in, with their pasture° lands° for their livestock° and for their property°. 5 Thus° the sons° of Israel° did° just° aas the LORD° had commanded° Moses°, and they divided° the land°.

6 ¶ Then the sons° of Judah° drew° near° to Joshua° in Gilgal°, and aCaleb° the son° of Jephunneh° the Kenizzite° said° to him, “You know° the word° which° the LORD° spoke° to Moses° the man° of God° concerning°° Iyou and me in Kadesh-barnea°. 7 I was forty° years° old° when aMoses° the servant° of the LORD° sent° me from Kadesh-barnea° to spy° out the land°, and I brought° word° back° to him as [it was] in my heart°. 8 Nevertheless my brethren° who° went° up with me made the heart° of the people° Imelt° with fear°; but aI followed° the LORD° my God° fully°. 9 So Moses° swore° on that day°, saying°, ‘Surely°° athe land° on which° your foot° has trodden° will be an inheritance° to you and to your children° forever°°, because° you have followed° the LORD° my God° fully°.’ 10 Now° behold°, the LORD° has let me live°, just° as He spoke°, these° forty-five°° years°, from the time° that the LORD° spoke° this° word° to Moses°, when° Israel° walked° in the wilderness°; and now° behold°, I am eighty-five° years° old° today°. 11 aI am still° as strong° today° as I was in the day° Moses° sent° me; as my strength° was then°, so my strength° is now°, for war° and for bgoing° out and coming° in. 12 Now° then, give° me this° hill° country° about which° the LORD° spoke° on that day°, for you heard° on that day° that aAnakim° [were] there°, with great° fortified° cities°; perhaps° the LORD° will be with me, and I will Idrive° them out as the LORD° has spoken°.”

The nine tribes and half are to have their inheritance by lot.

1 ¶ And these² [are the countries] which² the childrenº of Israelº inheritedºª in the landº of Canaan,º which² Eleazarº the priest,º and Joshuaº the sonº of Nun,º and the headsº of the fathersº of the tribesº of the childrenº of Israel,º distributed for inheritanceºª to them. 2 By lotº [was] their inheritance,º as² the LORDº commandedºª by the handº of Moses,º for the nineº tribes,º and [for] the halfº tribe.º 3 For² Mosesº had givenºª the inheritanceº of twoº tribesº and an halfº tribeº on the other sideº² Jordan:º but unto the Levitesº he gaveºª none² inheritanceº amongº them. 4 For² the childrenº of Josephº were² twoº tribes,º Manassehº and Ephraim:º therefore they gaveºª no² partº unto the Levitesº in the land,º save²² citiesº to dwellºª [in], with their suburbsº for their cattleº and for their substance.º 5 As² the LORDº commandedºª² Moses,º so² the childrenº of Israelº did,ºª and they dividedºª² the land.º

Caleb by privilege obtaineth Hebron.

6 ¶ Then the childrenº of Judahº cameºª unto² Joshuaº in Gilgal:º and Calebº the sonº of Jephunnehº the Keneziteº saidºª unto² him, Thou² knowestºª² the thingº that² the LORDº saidºª unto² Mosesº the manº of Godº concerning²² me¹ and thee¹ in Kadeshbarnea.º 7 Fortyº yearsº oldº [was] I² when Mosesº the servantº of the LORDº sentºª me from Kadeshbarneaº² to espy outºª² the land;º and I broughtºª him wordº again¹ª as² [it was] in² mine heart.º 8 Nevertheless my brethrenº that² went upºª with² me made² the heartº of the peopleº melt:ºª but I² whollyºª followedº the LORDº my God.º 9 And Mosesº swareºª on that² day,º saying,ºª Surely²² the landº whereon² thy feetº have troddenºª shall be² thine inheritance,º and thy children'sº for¹ ever,º² because² thou hast whollyºª followedº the LORDº my God.º 10 And now,² behold,² the LORDº hath kept me alive,ºª² as² he said,ºª these² fortyº and fiveº years,º even sinceº² the LORDº spakeºª² this² wordº unto² Moses,º while² [the children of] Israelº wanderedºª in the wilderness:º and now,² lo,² I² [am] this dayº fourscoreº and fiveº yearsº old.º 11 As yet² I [am as] strongº this dayº as² [I was] in the dayº that Mosesº sentºª me: as my strengthº [was] then,² even so [is] my strengthº now,² for war,º both to go out,ºª and to come in.ºª 12 Now² therefore giveºª me² this² mountain,º whereof² the LORDº spakeºª in that² day;º for² thou² heardestºª in that² dayº how² the Anakimsº [were] there,² and [that] the citiesº [were] greatº [and] fenced:ºª if² so be¹ the LORDº [will be] withº me, then I shall be able to drive them out,ºª as² the LORDº said.ºª 13 And Joshuaº blessedºª him, and gaveºª unto Calebº the sonº of Jephunnehº² Hebronº for an inheritance.º 14 Hebronº therefore²² became² the inheritanceº of Calebº the sonº of Jephunnehº the Keneziteº unto² this² day,º because² that² he whollyºª followedº the LORDº Godº of Israel.º 15 And the nameº of Hebronº beforeº [was] Kirjatharba;º [which Arba was] a greatº manº among the Anakims.º And the landº had restºª from war.º²
