The Division of the Territory West of the Jordan

14What follows is an account of how the land of Canaan west of the Jordan was divided among the people of Israel. Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders of the families of the Israelite tribes divided it among the population.H1121H3478H5157H776H3667H499H3548H3091H1121H5126H7218H1H4294H1121H3478H5157 2As the LORD had commanded Moses, the territories of the nine and one-half tribes west of the Jordan were determined by drawing lots.H1486H5159H3068H6680H3027H4872H8672H4294H2677H4294 3Moses had already assigned the land east of the Jordan to the other two and one-half tribes. (The descendants of Joseph were divided into two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim.) However, Moses gave the Levites no portion of the territory.H4872H5414H5159H8147H4294H2677H4294H5676H3383H3881H5414H5159H8432 4Instead, they received cities to live in, with fields for their cattle and flocks.H1121H3130H8147H4294H4519H669H5414H2506H3881H776H5892H3427H4054H4735H7075 5The people of Israel divided the land as the LORD had commanded Moses.H3068H6680H4872H1121H3478H6213H2505H776

Hebron Is Given to Caleb

6One day some people from the tribe of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. One of them, Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, "You know what the LORD said in Kadesh Barnea about you and me to Moses, the man of God.H1121H3063H5066H3091H1537H3612H1121H3312H7074H559H3045H1697H3068H1696H4872H376H430H182H182H6947 7I was forty years old when the LORD's servant Moses sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out this land. I brought an honest report back to him.H705H8141H1121H4872H5650H3068H7971H6947H7270H776H7725H1697H7725H3824 8The men who went with me, however, made our people afraid. But I faithfully obeyed the LORD my God.H251H5927H3820H5971H4529H4390H310H3068H430 9Because I did, Moses promised me that my children and I would certainly receive as our possession the land which I walked over.H4872H7650H3117H559H776H7272H1869H5159H1121H5704H5769H4390H310H3068H430 10But now, look. It has been forty-five years since the LORD said that to Moses. That was when Israel was going through the desert, and the LORD, as he promised, has kept me alive ever since. Look at me! I am eighty-five years oldH3068H2421H1696H705H2568H8141H227H3068H1696H1697H4872H3478H1980H4057H3117H8084H2568H8141H1121 11and am just as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out. I am still strong enough for war or for anything else.H2389H3117H3117H4872H7971H3581H3581H4421H3318H935 12Now then, give me the hill country that the LORD promised me on that day when my men and I reported. We told you then that the race of giants called the Anakim were there in large walled cities. Maybe the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out, just as the LORD said."H5414H2022H3068H1696H3117H8085H3117H6062H5892H1419H1219H194H3068H854H3423H3068H1696 13Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him the city of Hebron as his possession.H3091H1288H5414H3612H1121H3312H2275H5159 14Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, because he faithfully obeyed the LORD, the God of Israel.H2275H5159H3612H1121H3312H7074H3117H4390H310H3068H430H3478 15Before this, Hebron was called the city of Arba. (Arba had been the greatest of the Anakim.) There was now peace in the land.H8034H2275H6440H7153H1419H120H6062H776H8252H4421
