Joshua 14 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 The remaining tribes of Israel received land in Canaan as allotted by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the tribal leaders.
2 These nine and a half tribes received their grants of land by means of sacred lots, in accordance with the LORD's command through Moses.
3 Moses had already given a grant of land to the two and a half tribes on the east side of the Jordan River, but he had given the Levites no such allotment.
4 The descendants of Joseph had become two separate tribes-- Manasseh and Ephraim. And the Levites were given no land at all, only towns to live in with surrounding pasturelands for their livestock and all their possessions.
5 So the land was distributed in strict accordance with the LORD's commands to Moses.
6 A delegation from the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb said to Joshua, "Remember what the LORD said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me when we were at Kadesh-barnea.
7 I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the LORD, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land of Canaan. I returned and gave an honest report,
8 but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the LORD my God.
9 So that day Moses solemnly promised me, 'The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the LORD my God.'
10 "Now, as you can see, the LORD has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise-- even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old.
11 I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then.
12 So give me the hill country that the LORD promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the LORD is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the LORD said."
13 So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land.
14 Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite because he wholeheartedly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.
15 (Previously Hebron had been called Kiriath-arba. It had been named after Arba, a great hero of the descendants of Anak.)And the land had rest from war.
1 And these H428 are the countries which H834 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 inherited H5157 in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 which H834 Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 and the heads H7218 of the fathers H1 of the tribes H4294 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 distributed for inheritance H5157 to them.
2 By lot H1486 was their inheritance, H5159 as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 by the hand H3027 of Moses, H4872 for the nine H8672 tribes, H4294 and for the half H2677 tribe. H4294
3 For H3588 Moses H4872 had given H5414 the inheritance H5159 of two H8147 tribes H4294 and a half H2677 tribe H4294 on the other side H4480 H5676 Jordan: H3383 but unto the Levites H3881 he gave H5414 none H3808 inheritance H5159 among H8432 them.
4 For H3588 the children H1121 of Joseph H3130 were H1961 two H8147 tribes, H4294 Manasseh H4519 and Ephraim: H669 therefore they gave H5414 no H3808 part H2506 unto the Levites H3881 in the land, H776 save H3588 H518 cities H5892 to dwell H3427 in , with their suburbs H4054 for their cattle H4735 and for their substance. H7075
5 As H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses, H4872 so H3651 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did, H6213 and they divided H2505 H853 the land. H776
6 Then the children H1121 of Judah H3063 came H5066 unto H413 Joshua H3091 in Gilgal: H1537 and Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh H3312 the Kenezite H7074 said H559 unto H413 him, Thou H859 knowest H3045 H853 the thing H1697 that H834 the LORD H3068 said H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 the man H376 of God H430 concerning H5921 H182 me and thee in Kadesh- H6947 barnea.
7 Forty H705 years H8141 old H1121 was I H595 when Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 sent H7971 me from Kadesh H4480 H6947 -barnea to espy out H7270 H853 the land; H776 and I brought H7725 him word H1697 again as H834 it was in H5973 mine heart. H3824
8 Nevertheless my brethren H251 that H834 went up H5927 with H5973 me made H853 the heart H3820 of the people H5971 melt: H4529 but I H595 wholly H4390 followed H310 the LORD H3068 my God. H430
9 And Moses H4872 swore H7650 on that H1931 day, H3117 saying, H559 Surely H518 H3808 the land H776 whereon H834 thy feet H7272 have trodden H1869 shall be H1961 thine inheritance, H5159 and thy children's H1121 forever H5704 H5769 , because H3588 thou hast wholly H4390 followed H310 the LORD H3068 my God. H430
10 And now, H6258 behold, H2009 the LORD H3068 hath kept me alive H2421 H853 , as H834 he said, H1696 these H2088 forty H705 and five H2568 years, H8141 even since H4480 H227 the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 H853 this H2088 word H1697 unto H413 Moses, H4872 while H834 the children of Israel H3478 wandered H1980 in the wilderness: H4057 and now, H6258 lo, H2009 I H595 am this day H3117 fourscore H8084 and five H2568 years H8141 old. H1121
11 As yet H5750 I am as strong H2389 this day H3117 as H834 I was in the day H3117 that Moses H4872 sent H7971 me : as my strength H3581 was then, H227 even so is my strength H3581 now, H6258 for war, H4421 both to go out, H3318 and to come in. H935
12 Now H6258 therefore give H5414 me H853 this H2088 mountain, H2022 whereof H834 the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 in that H1931 day; H3117 for H3588 thou H859 heardest H8085 in that H1931 day H3117 how H3588 the Anakims H6062 were there, H8033 and that the cities H5892 were great H1419 and fenced: H1219 if H194 so be the LORD H3068 will be with H854 me , then I shall be able to drive them out, H3423 as H834 the LORD H3068 said. H1696
13 And Joshua H3091 blessed H1288 him , and gave H5414 unto Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh H3312 H853 Hebron H2275 for an inheritance. H5159
14 Hebron H2275 therefore H5921 H3651 became H1961 the inheritance H5159 of Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh H3312 the Kenezite H7074 unto H5704 this H2088 day, H3117 because H3282 that H834 he wholly H4390 followed H310 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478
15 And the name H8034 of Hebron H2275 before H6440 was Kirjath- H7153 arba; which Arba was a great H1419 man H120 among the Anakims. H6062 And the land H776 had rest H8252 from war H4480 H4421 .
