Joshua 14
WEB·Joshua 14
1These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,
KJVAnd these are the countries which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 inheritedH5157(H8804) in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and the headsH7218 of the fathersH1 of the tribesH4294 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, distributed for inheritanceH5157(H8765) to them.
2 by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
KJVBy lotH1486 was their inheritanceH5159, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680(H8765) by the handH3027 of MosesH4872, for the nineH8672 tribesH4294, and for the halfH2677 tribeH4294.
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
KJVFor MosesH4872 had givenH5414(H8804) the inheritanceH5159 of twoH8147 tribesH4294 and an halfH2677 tribeH4294 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383: but unto the LevitesH3881 he gaveH5414(H8804) none inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 them.
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.
KJVFor the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 were twoH8147 tribesH4294, ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669: therefore they gaveH5414(H8804) no partH2506 unto the LevitesH3881 in the landH776, save citiesH5892 to dwellH3427(H8800) in, with their suburbsH4054 for their cattleH4735 and for their substanceH7075.
5 The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
KJVAs the LORDH3068 commandedH6680(H8765) MosesH4872, so the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213(H8804), and they dividedH2505(H8799) the landH776.
6 Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.
KJVThen the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 cameH5066(H8799) unto JoshuaH3091 in GilgalH1537: and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 the KeneziteH7074 saidH559(H8799) unto him, Thou knowestH3045(H8804) the thingH1697 that the LORDH3068 saidH1696(H8765) unto MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430 concerning meH182 and theeH182 in KadeshbarneaH6947.
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
KJVFortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was I when MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 sentH7971(H8800) me from KadeshbarneaH6947 to espy outH7270(H8763) the landH776; and I broughtH7725 him wordH1697 againH7725(H8686) as it was in mine heartH3824.
8 Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.
KJVNevertheless my brethrenH251 that went upH5927(H8804) with me made the heartH3820 of the peopleH5971 meltH4529(H8689): but I whollyH4390(H8765) followedH310 the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
9 Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yahweh my God.’
KJVAnd MosesH4872 swareH7650(H8735) on that dayH3117, sayingH559(H8800), Surely the landH776 whereon thy feetH7272 have troddenH1869(H8804) shall be thine inheritanceH5159, and thy children'sH1121 forH5704 everH5769, because thou hast whollyH4390(H8765) followedH310 the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
10 “Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.
KJVAnd now, behold, the LORDH3068 hath kept me aliveH2421(H8689), as he saidH1696(H8765), these fortyH705 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141, even sinceH227 the LORDH3068 spakeH1696(H8765) this wordH1697 unto MosesH4872, while the children of IsraelH3478 wanderedH1980(H8804) in the wildernessH4057: and now, lo, I am this dayH3117 fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121.
11 As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in.
KJVAs yet I am as strongH2389 this dayH3117 as I was in the dayH3117 that MosesH4872 sentH7971(H8800) me: as my strengthH3581 was then, even so is my strengthH3581 now, for warH4421, both to go outH3318(H8800), and to come inH935(H8800).
12 Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh said.”
KJVNow therefore giveH5414(H8798) me this mountainH2022, whereof the LORDH3068 spakeH1696(H8765) in that dayH3117; for thou heardestH8085(H8804) in that dayH3117 how the AnakimsH6062 were there, and that the citiesH5892 were greatH1419 and fencedH1219(H8803): if so beH194 the LORDH3068 will be withH854 me, then I shall be able to drive them outH3423(H8689), as the LORDH3068 saidH1696(H8765).
13 Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
KJVAnd JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288(H8762) him, and gaveH5414(H8799) unto CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 HebronH2275 for an inheritanceH5159.
14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed Yahweh, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.
KJVHebronH2275 therefore became the inheritanceH5159 of CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 the KeneziteH7074 unto this dayH3117, because that he whollyH4390(H8765) followedH310 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
15 Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.
KJVAnd the nameH8034 of HebronH2275 beforeH6440 was KirjatharbaH7153; which Arba was a greatH1419 manH120 among the AnakimsH6062. And the landH776 had restH8252(H8804) from warH4421.
