Joshua 14

¹And 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.SelectedJoshua 14:1CopyShareAsk

²By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.SelectedJoshua 14:2CopyShareAsk

³For 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.SelectedJoshua 14:3CopyShareAsk

⁴For 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.SelectedJoshua 14:4CopyShareAsk

⁵As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.SelectedJoshua 14:5CopyShareAsk

⁶Then 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 LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.SelectedJoshua 14:6CopyShareAsk

⁷Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.SelectedJoshua 14:7CopyShareAsk

⁸Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.SelectedJoshua 14:8CopyShareAsk

⁹And 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 the LORD my God.SelectedJoshua 14:9CopyShareAsk

¹⁰And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD 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.SelectedJoshua 14:10CopyShareAsk

¹¹As 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.SelectedJoshua 14:11CopyShareAsk

¹²Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD 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 the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.SelectedJoshua 14:12CopyShareAsk

¹³And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.SelectedJoshua 14:13CopyShareAsk
