And the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the [son] of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, You know the word that the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadesh Barnea.

My brethren that went up with me turned away the heart of the people, but I applied myself to follow the Lord my God.

And now the Lord has kept me alive as He said: this [is] the forty-fifth year since the Lord spoke that word to Moses; and Israel journeyed in the wilderness; and now, behold, I [am] this day eighty-five years old.

And now I ask of you this mountain, as the Lord said in that day; for you heard this word on that day. And now the Anakim are there, cities great and strong. If then the Lord should be with me, I will utterly destroy them, as the Lord said to me.

Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the [son] of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the commandment of the Lord God of Israel.

And Caleb quieted the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them!

surely they shall not see the land, which I swore to their fathers; but their children which are with Me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them shall I give the land; but none who have provoked Me shall see it.

But My servant Caleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed Me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.

And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked, He swore, saying,

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.

And the name of Hebron before formerly was Kirjath Arba, it [is] the metropolis of the Anakim. And the land rested from war.
