Joshua 14:8-14

Joshua 14:8-14

[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  that Moses  sent  me: as 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.
