Joshua 14:6-14
The descendants of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,“ You know what the Lord promised Moses the man of God at Kadesh-barnea about you and me.I was 40 years old when Moses the Lord’s servant sent me from Kadesh-barnea to scout the land, and I brought back an honest report.My brothers who went with me caused the people’s hearts to melt with fear, but I remained loyal to the Lord my God.On that day Moses promised me:‘ The land where you have set foot will be an inheritance for you and your descendants forever, because you have remained loyal to the Lord my God.’“ As you see, the Lord has kept me alive these 45 years as He promised, since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel was journeying in the wilderness. Here I am today, 85 years old.I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. My strength for battle and for daily tasks is now as it was then.Now give me this hill country the Lord promised me on that day, because you heard then that the Anakim are there, as well as large fortified cities. Perhaps the Lord will be with me and I will drive them out as the Lord promised.”Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as an inheritance.Therefore, Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite as an inheritance to this day, because he remained loyal to the Lord, the God of Israel.

He gave Caleb son of Jephunneh the following portion among the descendants of Judah based on the Lord’s instruction to Joshua: Kiriath-arba( that is, Hebron; Arba was the father of Anak).Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir whose name used to be Kiriath-sepher,and Caleb said,“ I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who strikes down and captures Kiriath-sepher.”So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother, Kenaz, captured it, and Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to him as a wife.When she arrived, she persuaded Othniel to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her,“ What do you want?”She replied,“ Give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me the springs of water also.” So he gave her the upper and lower springs.This was the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Judah by their clans.

Their protection has been removed from them, and the Lord is with us. Don’t be afraid of them!”While the whole community threatened to stone them, the glory of the Lord appeared to all the Israelites at the tent of meeting.
