Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who scouted out the land, tore their clothes

These are the names of the men: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

Then Caleb quieted the people in the presence of Moses and said,“ We must go up and take possession of the land because we can certainly conquer it!”

I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

The sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh: Iru, Elah, and Naam. Elah’s son: Kenaz.

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.Hebron’s name used to be Kiriath-arba; Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. After this, the land had rest from war.

But since My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me completely, I will bring him into the land where he has gone, and his descendants will inherit it.

For the Lord had said to them that they would all die in the wilderness. None of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

At the hour of incense the whole assembly of the people was praying outside.An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and overcome with fear.But the angel said to him: Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.There will be joy and delight for you, and many will rejoice at his birth.For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and will never drink wine or beer. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb.

So Moses appealed to the Lord,“ May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the communitywho will go out before them and come back in before them, and who will bring them out and bring them in, so that the Lord’s community won’t be like sheep without a shepherd.”The Lord replied to Moses,“ Take Joshua son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole community, and commission him in their sight.Confer some of your authority on him so that the entire Israelite community will obey him.He will stand before Eleazar who will consult the Lord for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.”Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire community,laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the Lord had spoken through Moses.

Only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to scout out the land.

Caleb said,“ Whoever strikes down and captures Kiriath-sepher, I will give my daughter Achsah to him as a wife.”So Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s youngest brother, captured it, and Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to him as his 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 answered him,“ Give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water also.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.

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.

Moses then summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel,“ Be strong and courageous, for you will go with this people into the land the Lord swore to give to their fathers. You will enable them to take possession of it.The Lord is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the Lord’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.Moses commanded them,“ At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of debt cancellation, during the Festival of Booths,when all Israel assembles in the presence of the Lord your God at the place He chooses, you are to read this law aloud before all Israel.Gather the people— men, women, children, and foreigners living within your gates— so that they may listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and be careful to follow all the words of this law.Then their children who do not know the law will listen and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”The Lord said to Moses,“ The time of your death is now approaching. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the tent of meeting so that I may commission him.” When Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting,the Lord appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood at the entrance to the tent.The Lord said to Moses,“ You are about to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon commit adultery with the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will abandon Me and break the covenant I have made with them.My anger will burn against them on that day; I will abandon them and hide My face from them so that they will become easy prey. Many troubles and afflictions will come to them. On that day they will say,‘ Haven’t these troubles come to us because our God is no longer with us?’
