Joshua 14 :: New English Translation (NET)

Caleb's Request

Jos 14:1The following is a record of the territory assigned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders.

Jos 14:2

Jos 14:2The land assignments to the nine-and-a-half tribes were made by drawing lots, as the LORD had instructed Moses.

Jos 14:3

Jos 14:3Now Moses had assigned land to the two-and-a-half tribes east of the Jordan, but he assigned no land to the Levites.

Jos 14:4

Jos 14:4The descendants of Joseph were considered as two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were allotted no territory, though they were assigned cities in which to live, along with the grazing areas for their cattle and possessions.

Jos 14:5

Jos 14:5The Israelites followed the LORD's instructions to Moses and divided up the land.

Jos 14:6

Jos 14:6The men of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know what the LORD said about you and me to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh Barnea.

Jos 14:7

Jos 14:7I was forty years old when Moses, the LORD's servant, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land and I brought back to him an honest report.

Jos 14:8

Jos 14:8My countrymen who accompanied me frightened the people, but I remained loyal to the LORD my God.

Jos 14:9

Jos 14:9That day Moses made this solemn promise: 'Surely the land on which you walked will belong to you and your descendants permanently, for you remained loyal to the LORD your God.'

Jos 14:10

Jos 14:10So now, look, the LORD has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the LORD spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old.

Jos 14:11

Jos 14:11Today I am still as strong as when Moses sent me out. I can fight and go about my daily activities with the same energy I had then.

Jos 14:12

Jos 14:12Now, assign me this hill country which the LORD promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. But, assuming the LORD is with me, I will conquer them, as the LORD promised."

Jos 14:13

Jos 14:13Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron.

Jos 14:14

Jos 14:14So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day because he remained loyal to the LORD God of Israel.

Jos 14:15

Jos 14:15(Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. Arba was a famous Anakite.) Then the land was free of war.
