Joshua 14:12-14
New English Translation
12 Now, assign me this hill country that the Lord promised me at that time! No doubt you heard then that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities.[a] But assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer[b] them, as the Lord promised.” 13 Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron.[c] 14 So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day[d] because he remained loyal to the Lord God of Israel.
