1 These are the countries which the children of God Prevails (Israel) inherited in the land of Humbled One (Canaan), which God Has Helped (Eleazar) the priest, and I AM is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Posterity (Nun), and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of God Prevails (Israel), distributed as an inheritance to them.
2 Their inheritance was by lot, as I AM
(the LORD, Yehovah) commanded by the hand of Drawn (Moses), for the nine
tribes, and for the half-tribe.
3 Drawn (Moses) had given the inheritance
of two tribes and a half-tribe on the other side of The Descender (Jordan): but
to the Children of Joined To (Levites) he gave no inheritance among them.
4 For the children of I AM Will Add (Joseph)
were two tribes, Causing to Forget (Manasseh) and Double Ash-Heap: Doubly
Fruitful (Ephraim): except they gave no part to the Children of Joined To
(Levites) in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their
cattle and for their substance.
5 As I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded Drawn
(Moses), so the children of God Prevails (Israel) did, and they divided the
land.
6 Then the children of Praised (Judah)
came to I AM is Salvation (Joshua) in Rolling Wheel (Gilgal): and Dog (Caleb)
the son of He Will Be Prepared (Jephunneh) the Hunter (Kenezite) said to him: You
know what I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses) the man of God
('Elohiym). concerning you and me in Holy (Kadeshbarnea).
7 I was forty years old when Drawn (Moses)
the servant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) sent me from Holy (Kadeshbarnea) to spy
out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up
with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah) my God ('Elohiym).
9 Drawn (Moses) 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 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah)
my God ('Elohiym).
10 And now, behold, I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah) has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, since I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah) spoke this word to Drawn (Moses), while the children of God
Prevails (Israel) wandered in the wilderness: and now, I am this day eighty-five
years old.
11 As yet, I am as strong this day as I
was in the day that Drawn (Moses) sent me: as my strength was then, even so, is
my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
12 Now, therefore, give me this mountain,
whereof I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke in that day; for you heard in that day
how the Long-Necks (Anakims) were there, and that the cities were great and
fenced: if so be I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will be with me, then I shall be able
to drive them out, as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said.
13 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) blessed
him, and gave to Dog (Caleb) the son of He Will Be Prepared (Jephunneh) Association
(Hebron) for an inheritance.
14 Association (Hebron), therefore,
became the inheritance of Dog (Caleb) the son of He Will Be Prepared
(Jephunneh) the Hunter (Kenezite) to this day, because he wholly followed I AM
(the LORD, Yehovah) God ('Elohiym) of God Prevails (Israel).
15 The name of Association (Hebron)
before was City of the Four (Kirjatharba); because Four (Arba) was a great man
among the Long-Necks (Anakims). And the land had rest from war.
