Joshua 14

Gen Z: Joshua 14

1These are the spots the Israelites snagged in Canaan, handed out by Eleazar, Joshua, and the tribe heads. Major rizz move.

2They rolled the dice for their land, just like the Lord told Moses for the nine tribes and half a tribe.

3Moses hooked up two tribes and a half on the other side of Jordan, but the Levites got nada.

4Joseph's crew was two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, so the Levites got no land, just cities to chill in and space for their livestock.

5The Israelites did what the Lord told Moses, and they split the land like pros.

6Then Judah's squad rolled up to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb, Jephunneh's son, was like, "You know what the Lord said about us back in Kadesh-barnea."

7I was 40 when Moses sent me from Kadesh-barnea to scope the land, and I gave him the lowdown straight from my heart.

8But my bros who went with me made everyone nervous; I was all in for the Lord my God, though.

9Moses swore that day, saying, "The land you walked on will be yours and your kids' forever, 'cause you followed the Lord hard."

10Now peep this: the Lord kept me alive, like He promised, for 45 years since He told Moses while the Israelites were wandering. Now I'm 85, no cap.

11I'm still as strong today as I was when Moses sent me; my strength's lit for war, ready to roll out and come back.

12So, give me that mountain the Lord talked about; you heard how the Anakims were there, and the cities were huge and fortified. If the Lord's with me, I’ll drive them out, no doubt.

13Joshua blessed him and hooked Caleb up with Hebron for his inheritance.

14So Hebron became Caleb's land, 'cause he fully followed the Lord God of Israel, and that's still the vibe today.

15Hebron was called Kirjath-arba before; Arba was a big deal among the Anakims. The land finally got some peace.

KJV: Joshua 14

1And 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.

2By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.

3For 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.

4For 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.

5As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.

6Then 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 Kadesh–barnea.

7Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh–barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.

8Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the Lord my God.

9And 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.

10And 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.

11As 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.

12Now 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.

13And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

14Hebron 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.

15And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath–arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
