Caleb Inherits Hebron
6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the aKenizzite said to him: “You know bthe word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning cyou and me in Kadesh Barnea.
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord asent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.
8 Nevertheless amy brethren who went up with me made the1 heart of the people melt, but I wholly bfollowed the Lord my God.
9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, a‘Surely the land bwhere your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’
10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me aalive, bas He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel1 wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.
