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 Kadesh-barnea. 7 Forty 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. 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 Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
1 hoc est quod possederunt filii Israhel in terra Chanaan
quam dederunt eis Eleazar sacerdos et Iosue filius Nun
et principes familiarum per tribus Israhel
2 sorte omnia dividentes sicut praeceperat Dominus in manu Mosi
novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui
3 duabus enim tribubus et dimidiae dederat Moses trans Iordanem
possessionem
absque Levitis qui nihil terrae acceperunt inter fratres
suos
4 sed in eorum successerant locum filii
Ioseph
in duas divisi tribus Manasse et Ephraim
nec acceperunt Levitae aliam in terra partem
nisi urbes ad habitandum et suburbana earum
ad alenda iumenta et pecora sua
5 sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi ita fecerunt filii Israhel
et diviserunt terram
6 accesserunt itaque filii Iuda ad Iosue in Galgala
locutusque est ad eum Chaleb filius Iepphonne Cenezeus
nosti quid locutus sit Dominus ad Mosen hominem Dei
de me et te in Cadesbarne
7 quadraginta annorum eram
quando me misit Moses famulus Domini de Cadesbarne
ut considerarem terram
nuntiavique ei quod mihi verum videbatur
8 fratres autem mei qui ascenderant mecum dissolverunt cor populi
et nihilominus ego secutus sum Dominum Deum meum
9 iuravitque Moses in die illo dicens
terram quam calcavit pes tuus
erit possessio tua et filiorum tuorum in aeternum
quia secutus es Dominum Deum meum
10 concessit ergo Dominus vitam mihi sicut pollicitus est
usque in praesentem diem
quadraginta et quinque anni sunt
ex quo locutus est Dominus verbum istud ad Mosen
quando ambulabat Israhel per solitudinem
hodie octoginta quinque annorum sum
11 sic valens ut eo valebam tempore
quando ad explorandum missus sum
illius in me temporis fortitudo usque hodie perseverat
tam ad bellandum quam ad gradiendum
12 da ergo mihi montem istum quem pollicitus est Dominus
te quoque audiente
in quo Enacim sunt et urbes magnae atque munitae
si forte sit Dominus mecum
et potuero delere eos sicut promisit mihi
13 benedixitque ei Iosue et tradidit Hebron in possessionem
14 atque ex eo fuit Hebron Chaleb filio Iepphonne Cenezeo usque in praesentem diem
quia secutus est Dominum Deum Israhel
15 nomen Hebron antea vocabatur Cariatharbe
Adam maximus ibi inter Enacim situs est
et terra cessavit a proeliis
