Lot looked out and saw that the entire plain of the Jordan as far as Zoar was well watered everywhere like the LORD’s garden and the land of Egypt.( This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)So Lot chose the entire plain of the Jordan for himself. Then Lot journeyed eastward, and they separated from each other.Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot lived in the cities on the plain and set up his tent near Sodom.( Now the men of Sodom were evil, sinning immensely against the LORD.)After Lot had separated from him, the LORD said to Abram,“ Look from the place where you are. Look north and south, east and west,for I will give you and your offspring forever all the land that you see.I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.Get up and walk around the land, through its length and width, for I will give it to you.”

Numbers 34:2-15
“ Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these borders:Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea.Your border will turn south of the Scorpions’ Ascent, proceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.The border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.Your western border will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea; this will be your western border.This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor;from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath, and the border will reach Zedad.Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern border.For your eastern border, draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah east of Ain. It will continue down and reach the eastern slope of the Sea of Chinnereth.Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides.”So Moses commanded the Israelites,“ This is the land you are to receive by lot as an inheritance, which the LORD commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes.For the tribe of Reuben’s descendants and the tribe of Gad’s descendants have received their inheritance according to their ancestral families, and half the tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance.The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

Joshua 14:1-15
The Israelites received these portions that the priest Eleazar, Joshua son of Nun, and the family heads of the Israelite tribes gave them in the land of Canaan.Their inheritance was by lot as the LORD commanded through Moses for the nine and a half tribes,because Moses had given the inheritance to the two and a half tribes beyond the Jordan. But he gave no inheritance among them to the Levites.The descendants of Joseph became two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. No portion of the land was given to the Levites except cities to live in, along with pasturelands for their cattle and livestock.So the Israelites did as the LORD commanded Moses, and they divided the land.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 forty 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 to lose heart, but I followed the LORD my God completely.On that day Moses swore to me,‘ The land where you have set foot will be an inheritance for you and your descendants forever, because you have followed the LORD my God completely.’“ As you see, the LORD has kept me alive these forty-five years as he promised, since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel was journeying in the wilderness. Here I am today, eighty-five 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 still belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite as an inheritance today because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, completely.Hebron’s name used to be Kiriath-arba; Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. After this, the land had rest from war.
