== Yehoshua (Book of Joshua), Chapter 14 ==

<named id="1"/>1 And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,

<named id="2"/>2 by the lot of their inheritance, as HaShem commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.--

<named id="3"/>3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

<named id="4"/>4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the open land about them for their cattle and for their substance.--

<named id="5"/>5 As HaShem commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.

<named id="6"/>6 Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him: 'Thou knowest the thing that HaShem spoke unto Moses the man of G-d concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.

<named id="7"/>7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of HaShem sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him back word as it was in my heart.

<named id="8"/>8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed HaShem my G-d.

<named id="9"/>9 And Moses swore on that day, saying: Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed HaShem my G-d.

<named id="10"/>10 And now, behold, HaShem hath kept me alive, as He spoke, these forty and five years, from the time that HaShem spoke this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness; and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

<named id="11"/>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, and to go out and to come in.

<named id="12"/>12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof HaShem spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified; it may be that HaShem will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as HaShem spoke.'

<named id="13"/>13 And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

<named id="14"/>14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day; because that he wholly followed HaShem, the G-d of Israel.

<named id="15"/>15 Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
