commanded by the hand of Moses, for the
nine tribes, and for the half tribe.Yahushua 14
14:1 And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
14:2 By lot was their inheritance, as commanded by the hand of Moses, for the
nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
14:3 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.
14:4 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.
14:5 As commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the
land.
14:6 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 said unto Moses
the man of Elohim concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
14:7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of sent me from Kadesh-barnea
to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt:
but I wholly followed my Elohim.
14:9 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
my Elohim.
14:10 And now, behold, hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five
years, even since 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.
14:11 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.
14:12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof 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 will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as
said.
14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
14:14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the
Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed Elohim of Israel.
14:15 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
