1 What follows is an account of how the land of Canaanwest of the Jordan was divided among the people of Israel. Eleazarthe priest, Joshuason of Nun, and the leaders of the families of the Israelite tribes divided it among the population. 2 Nu 26.52-56;34.13As the Lordhad commanded Moses, the territories of the nine and one-half tribes west of the Jordan were determined by drawing lots.14.2: drawing lots: This was usually done by using specially marked stones to determine God’s will.3,4 Nu 32.33;34.14,15;Dt 3.12-17Moseshad already assigned the land east of the Jordanto the other two and one-half tribes. (The descendants of Josephwere divided into two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim.) However, Mosesgave the Levites no portion of the territory. Instead, they received cities to live in, with fields for their cattle and flocks. 5 The people of Israeldivided the land as the Lordhad commanded Moses.
Hebron Is Given to Caleb
6 Nu 14.30One day some people from the tribe of Judahcame to Joshuaat Gilgal. One of them, Calebson of Jephunnehthe Kenizzite, said to him, "You know what the Lordsaid in Kadesh Barneaabout you and me to Moses, the man of God. 7 Nu 13.1-30I was forty years old when the Lord's servant Mosessent me from Kadesh Barneato spy out this land. I brought an honest report back to him. 8 The men who went with me, however, made our people afraid. But I faithfully obeyed the Lordmy God. 9 Nu 14.24Because I did, Mosespromised me that my children and I would certainly receive as our possession the land which I walked over. 10 But now, look. It has been forty-five years since the Lordsaid that to Moses. That was when Israel was going through the desert, and the Lord, as he promised, has kept me alive ever since. Look at me! I am eighty-five years old 11 and am just as strong today as I was when Mosessent me out. I am still strong enough for war or for anything else. 12 Now then, give me the hill country that the Lordpromised me on that day when my men and I reported. We told you then that the race of giants called the Anakim were there in large walled cities. Maybe the Lordwill be with me, and I will drive them out, just as the Lordsaid."
13 Joshuablessed Calebson of Jephunnehand gave him the city of Hebronas his possession. 14 Hebronstill belongs to the descendants of Calebson of Jephunnehthe Kenizzite, because he faithfully obeyed the Lord, the God of Israel. 15 Before this, Hebronwas called the city of Arba. (Arbahad been the greatest of the Anakim.)
There was now peace in the land.
