Yehoshua 14:6-14

Yehoshua 14:6-14 TOJB2011

Then the Bnei Yehudah came unto Yehoshua in Gilgal; and Kalev ben Yephunneh the Kenizi said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that HASHEM said unto Moshe Ish HaElohim concerning me and thee in Kadesh-Barnea. I was forty years old when Moshe Eved HASHEM sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to spy out HaAretz; and I brought him back davar just as it was in my lev. Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the lev of HaAm melt; but I wholly followed after HASHEM Elohai. And Moshe swore on that day, saying, Surely HaAretz whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine nachalah, and that of thy banim ad olam, because thou hast wholly followed after HASHEM Elohai. And now, hinei, HASHEM hath kept me alive, just as He said, these forty and five shanah, even since HASHEM spoke this word unto Moshe, while the Bnei Yisroel wandered in the midbar; and now, hinei, I am this day fourscore and five shanah. As yet I am chazak, as strong this day as I was in the day that Moshe sent me; as my koach was then, even so is my koach now, for milchamah, both to go out, and to come in. Now therefore give me hahar hazeh (this mountain), whereof HASHEM spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were gedolot and fortified; but, HASHEM with me, I shall be able to drive them out, just as HASHEM said. And Yehoshua put a bracha on him, and gave unto Kalev ben Yephunneh Chevron for a nachalah. Chevron therefore became the nachalah of Kalev ben Yephunneh the Kenizi unto this day, because that he wholly followed HASHEM Elohei Yisroel.
