14:1 And these [are] they of the children of
Israel that received their inheritance in the land of Chanaan, to whom
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the [son] of Naue, and the heads of the
families of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave inheritance.
14:2 They inherited according to their lots, as Yehovah commanded by the
hand of Joshua to the nine tribes and the half tribe, on the other side of
Jordan.
14:3 But to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
14:4 For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasse and Ephraim; and there
was none inheritance in the land given to the Levites, only cities to dwell
in, and their suburbs separated for the cattle, and their cattle.
14:5 As Yehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel; and they
divided the land.
14:6 And the children of Judah came to Joshua in Galgal, and Chaleb the [son]
of Jephone the Kenezite said to him, Thou knowest the word that Yehovah
spoke to Moses the man of Elohim concerning me and thee in Cades Barne.
14:7 For I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Elohim sent me out of
Cades Barne to spy out the land; and I returned him an answer according to
his mind.
14:8 My brethren that went up with me turned away the heart of the people,
but I applied my self to follow Yehovah my Elohim.
14:9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, The land on which thou art gone
up, it shall be thy inheritance and thy children's for ever, because thou
hast applied thyself to follow Yehovah our Elohim.
14:10 And now Yehovah has kept me alive as he said: this [is] the
forty-fifth year since Yehovah spoke that word to Moses; and Israel
journeyed in the wilderness; and now, behold, I [am] this day eighty-five
years old.
14:11 I am still strong this day, as when Yehovah sent me: just so strong
am I now to go out and to come in for war.
14:12 And now I ask of thee this mountain, as Yehovah said in that day; for
thou heardest this word on that day; and now the Enakim are there, cities
great and strong: if then Yehovah should be with me, I will utterly destroy
them, as Yehovah said to me.
14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Chebron to Chaleb the son of Jephone
the son of Kenez for an inheritance.
14:14 Therefore Chebron became the inheritance of Chaleb the [son] of
Jephone the Kenezite until this day, because he followed the commandment of
Yehovah Elohim of Israel.
14:15 And the name of Chebron before was the city Argob, it [is] the
metropolis of the Enakim: and the land rested from war. |
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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 the
Yehovah said unto Moses the man of Elohim concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
14:7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Yehovah sent me from
Kadeshbarnea 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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah my Elohim.
14:10 And now, behold, Yehovah hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty
and five years, even since Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 Yehovah will be with me, then I
shall be able to drive them out, as Yehovah 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 Yehovah Elohim of
Israel.
14:15 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great
man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war. |
