Verse 7

Forty{H705} years{H8141} old{H1121} was I when Moses{H4872} the servant{H5650} of Jehovah{H3068} sent{H7971} me from Kadesh-barnea{H6947} to spy out{H7270} the land;{H776} and I brought{H7725} him word{H1697} again{H7725} as it was in my heart.{H3824}

Verse 8

Nevertheless my brethren{H251} that went up{H5927} with me made the heart{H3820} of the people{H5971} melt;{H4529} but I wholly{H4390} followed{H310} Jehovah{H3068} my God.{H430}

Verse 9

And Moses{H4872} sware{H7650} on that day,{H3117} saying,{H559} Surely the land{H776} whereon thy foot{H7272} hath trodden{H1869} shall be an inheritance{H5159} to thee and to thy children{H1121} for{H5704} ever,{H5769} because thou hast wholly{H4390} followed{H310} Jehovah{H3068} my God.{H430}

Verse 10

And now, behold, Jehovah{H3068} hath kept me alive,{H2421} as he spake,{H1696} these forty{H705} and five{H2568} years,{H8141} from the time{H227} that Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} this word{H1697} unto Moses,{H4872} while Israel{H3478} walked{H1980} in the wilderness:{H4057} and now, lo, I am this day{H3117} fourscore{H8084} and five{H2568} years{H8141} old.{H1121}

Verse 11

As yet I am as strong{H2389} this day{H3117} as I as in the day{H3117} that Moses{H4872} sent{H7971} me: as my strength{H3581} was then, even so is my strength{H3581} now, for war,{H4421} and to go out{H3318} and to come in.{H935}

Verse 12

Now therefore give{H5414} me this hill-country,{H2022} whereof Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} in that day;{H3117} for thou heardest{H8085} in that day{H3117} how the Anakim{H6062} were there, and cities{H5892} great{H1419} and fortified:{H1219} it may be that Jehovah{H3068} will be{H194} with{H854} me, and I shall drive them out,{H3423} as Jehovah{H3068} spake.{H1696}

Verse 14

Therefore Hebron{H2275} became the inheritance{H5159} of Caleb{H3612} the son{H1121} of Jephunneh{H3312} the Kenizzite{H7074} unto this day;{H3117} because that he wholly{H4390} followed{H310} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel.{H3478}

Verse 15

Now the name{H8034} of Hebron{H2275} beforetime{H6440} was Kiriath-arba;{H7153} [which Arba was] the greatest{H1419} man{H120} among the Anakim.{H6062} And the land{H776} had rest{H8252} from war.{H4421}
