Joshua 14:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² So give me this hill country. The Lord promised it to me that day. At that time you yourself heard that the Anakites were living there. You also heard that their cities were large and had high walls around them. But I’ll drive them out, just as the Lord said I would. He will help me do it.”

¹³ Then Joshua blessed Caleb, the son of Jephunneh. He gave him Hebron as his share. ¹⁴ So ever since that time Hebron has belonged to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite. That’s because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, with his whole heart.
