Joshua 14 — Context

2

Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

3

For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.

4

Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.

5

As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of the land.

6

Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.

7

I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.

8

My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.
