YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14

The Nine Tribes And A Half To Have Their Inheritance

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:1

1 ?And these are the countries which the children of Yisrael inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the kohen, and Yehoshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Yisrael, distributed for inheritance to them.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:2

2 By lot was their inheritance, as YAHWEH commanded by the hand of Mosheh, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:3

3 For Mosheh had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Yardan: but to the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:4

4 For the children of Yoseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:5

5? ??As YAHWEH commanded Mosheh, so the children of Yisrael did, and they divided the land.

Caleb Obtains Hebron

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:6

6 ?Then the children of Yahudah came to Yehoshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said to him, You know the thing that YAHWEH said to Mosheh the man of YAHWEH concerning me and you in Kadeshbarnea.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:7

7 Forty years old was I when Mosheh the servant of YAHWEH sent me from Kadeshbarnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:8

8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed YAHWEH my ABBA.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:9

9 And Mosheh swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon your feet have trodden shall be your inheritance, and your children's forever, because you have wholly followed YAHWEH my ABBA.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:10

10 And now, behold, YAHWEH has kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since YAHWEH spoke this word to Mosheh, while the children of Yisrael wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:11

11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Mosheh sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:12

12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof YAHWEH spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be YAHWEH will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as YAHWEH said.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:13

13 And Yehoshua blessed him, and gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:14

14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite to this day, because that he wholly followed YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of Yisrael.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 14:15

15 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great adam among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
