Исус Навин 14

1And these are the properties occupied in Canaan by the Israelites, and assigned to them by lot as their own, by Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the households in the tribes of Israel, 2as the Lordhad commanded by Moses, for the nine and a half tribes. 3Moses had assigned the other two and a half tribes their property and inheritance to the east of the Jordan, and assigned nothing to the Levites. 4The two tribes of the Josephites were Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites received no share of the land, except some towns to live in, with their pastures for cattle and livestock. 5The Israelites, in dividing up the land, acted according to the orders given by the Lordto Moses. 6The Judahites came before Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, ‘You know what the Lordsaid to Moses the man of God about me and yourself at Kadesh-barnea. 7I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lordsent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the country, and I reported to him as best I could. 8My kinsmen and companions made the heart of the people tremble, but I was devoted to the Lordmy God, 9and Moses swore that day that the land my feet had trodden should belong to me and to my children for all time, because I had been devoted to the Lordmy God. 10Well now, the Lordhas kept me alive as he promised, all these forty-five years, ever since the Lordsaid that word to Moses, all the time of Israel”s wandering in the desert. Today I am eighty-five, 11and I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me on that mission. As my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war or any enterprise. 12So let me have this hill country of which the Lordspoke that day. As you heard that day, the Anakim are there with great, fortified towns. But perhaps the Lordwill be with me and I will evict them, as he promised.’ 13So Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his property. 14Hebron became the property of Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and still is in his family – for he was devoted to the , Lordthe God of Israel.
