Joshua 14 (WEBP)

[1] These 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,
[2] by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
[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.
[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.
[5] The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
[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.
[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.
[8] Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.
[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.’
[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.
[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.
[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.”
[13] Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
[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.
[15] Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

Joshua 14 (KJVS)

[1] And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel inherited () in the land of Canaan , which Eleazar the priest , and Joshua the son of Nun , and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel , distributed for inheritance () to them.
[2] By lot [was] their inheritance , as the LORD commanded () by the hand of Moses , for the nine tribes , and [for] the half tribe .
[3] For Moses had given () the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan : but unto the Levites he gave () none inheritance among them.
[4] For the children of Joseph were two tribes , Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore they gave () no part unto the Levites in the land , save cities to dwell () [in], with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance .
[5] As the LORD commanded () Moses , so the children of Israel did (), and they divided () the land .
[6] Then the children of Judah came () unto Joshua in Gilgal : and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said () unto him, Thou knowest () the thing that the LORD said () unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea .
[7] Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent () me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out () the land ; and I brought him word again () as [it was] in mine heart .
[8] Nevertheless my brethren that went up () with me made the heart of the people melt (): but I wholly () followed the LORD my God .
[9] And Moses sware () on that day , saying (), Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden () shall be thine inheritance , and thy children’s for ever , because thou hast wholly () followed the LORD my God .
[10] And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive (), as he said (), these forty and five years , even since the LORD spake () this word unto Moses , while [the children of] Israel wandered () in the wilderness : and now, lo, I [am] this day fourscore and five years old .
[11] As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that 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 the LORD spake () in that day ; for thou heardest () in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced (): if so be the LORD [will be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out (), as the LORD said ().
[13] And Joshua blessed () him, and gave () unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance .
[14] Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day , because that he wholly () followed the LORD God of Israel .
[15] And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba ; [which Arba was] a great man among the Anakims . And the land had rest () from war .

Young’s Literal Translation

Joshua 14 (YLT)

[1] And these are they of the sons of Israel who inherited in the land of Canaan, whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, caused to inherit;
[2] by lot is their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine of the tribes, and the half of the tribe;
[3] for Moses hath given the inheritance of two of the tribes, and of half of the tribe, beyond the Jordan, and to the Levites he hath not given an inheritance in their midst;
[4] for the sons of Joseph hath been two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they have not given a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle, and for their possessions;
[5] as Jehovah commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done, and they apportion the land.
[6] And the sons of Judah come nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite saith unto him, ‘Thou hast known the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses the man of God, concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-Barnea:
[7] a son of forty years am I in Moses, servant of Jehovah, sending me from Kadesh-Barnea, to spy the land, and I bring him back word as with my heart;
[8] and my brethren who have gone up with me have caused the heart of the people to melt, and I have been fully after Jehovah my God;
[9] and Moses sweareth in that day, saying, If not-the land on which thy foot hath trodden, to thee it is for inheritance, and to thy sons-to the age, for thou hast been fully after Jehovah my God.
[10] ‘And, now, lo, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as He hath spoken, these forty and five years, since Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, when Israel went in the wilderness; and now, lo, I am to-day a son of five and eighty years;
[11] yet am I to-day strong as in the day of Moses’ sending me; as my power then, so is my power now, for battle, and to go out, and to come in.
[12] ‘And now, give to me this hill-country, of which Jehovah spake in that day, for thou didst hear in that day, for Anakim are there, and cities, great, fenced; if so be Jehovah is with me, then I have dispossessed them, as Jehovah hath spoken.’
[13] And Joshua blesseth him, and giveth Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance,
[14] therefore hath Hebron been to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite for an inheritance unto this day, because that he was fully after Jehovah, God of Israel;
[15] and the name of Hebron formerly is Kirjath-Arba (he is the great man among the Anakim); and the land hath rest from war.
