Joshua 14:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 14:5

3 ^aFor Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.

4 For ^athe children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except ^bcities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property.

5 ^aAs the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.

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.
