6 Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea. 7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was Deut. 1.28 in mine heart. 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 foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God. 10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he spake, these d forty and five years, from the time that the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years Cp. Dent. old. 11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and 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 9 Anakim were there, 9 Num. 13. and cities great and fenced: it 28, 33. may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORDSpake. 13 And Joshua "blessed him; and he gave 'Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. 14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day; because that he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel. 15* Now the name of Hebron beforetime was 2 Kiriatharba; which Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of Ephraim, unto this day, and became servants to do task- ch. 17. 18. work. 1 And this was the lot for

17 the tribe of Manasseh; for he

was the firstborn of Joseph. As for a Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. 2 And the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families. 3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, a Num. 26. the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before e ch. 14. 1 Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. 5 And there fell ten 1parts to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, g ver. 1. which is beyond Jordan; 6 because h. 13. 30, the daughters of Manasseh-had an inheritance among his sons: and the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh. 7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is ch. 16.-6. before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En - tappuah.

among the cities of Manasseh : and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea: 10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. 11 And Cp. 1 Kin. Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her 1 towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even the three heights. 12'Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 13 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that m ch. 16. 10. they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.
