Joshua 14
New King James Version
The Land Divided West of the Jordan
14 These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, (A)which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. 2 Their inheritance was (B)by lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. 3 (C)For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them. 4 For (D)the children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except (E)cities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property. 5 (F)As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.
Caleb Inherits Hebron
6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the (G)Kenizzite said to him: “You know (H)the word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning (I)you and me in Kadesh Barnea. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord (J)sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless (K)my brethren who went up with me made the [a]heart of the people melt, but I wholly (L)followed the Lord my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, (M)‘Surely the land (N)where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me (O)alive, (P)as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel [b]wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. 11 (Q)As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both (R)for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how (S)the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. (T)It may be that the Lord will be with me, and (U)I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”
13 And Joshua (V)blessed him, (W)and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance. 14 (X)Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he (Y)wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. 15 And (Z)the name of Hebron formerly was Kirjath Arba (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim).
(AA)Then the land had rest from war.

Joshua 14
King James Version
14 And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
2 By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
5 As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the Lord my God.
9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God.
10 And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said.
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel.
15 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
Josué 14
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Reparto entre las tribus del oeste del Jordán
14 Esta es la heredad que recibieron los israelitas en el país de Canaán, heredad que les repartieron el sacerdote Eleazar y Josué, hijo de Nun, y los cabezas de familia de las tribus de Israel. 2 El reparto a las nueve tribus de Israel y a la media tribu de Manasés se hizo a suertes, como el Señor había dispuesto por medio de Moisés. 3 Porque Moisés había dado ya su heredad a las dos tribus y media en Transjordania. A los levitas no les asignó heredad entre las otras tribus. 4 En cuanto a los descendientes de José, vinieron a formar dos tribus: Manasés y Efraín. A los levitas no se les dio parte alguna de territorio, sino sólo ciudades donde residir, con los pastos correspondientes para los ganados de su propiedad. 5 Los israelitas hicieron el reparto de la tierra tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
Hebrón como heredad de Caleb
6 Los descendientes de Judá se presentaron a Josué en Guilgal. Y Caleb, hijo de Jefuné el queniceo, le dijo:
— Ya sabes lo que le encargó el Señor a Moisés, el hombre de Dios, acerca de ti y de mí en Cadés Barnea. 7 Cuarenta años tenía yo cuando Moisés, siervo del Señor, me envió desde Cadés Barnea a explorar esta tierra y yo le di mi informe con toda sinceridad. 8 Los hermanos que me habían acompañado desanimaron al pueblo, pero yo me mantuve fiel al Señor, mi Dios. 9 Aquel día Moisés me hizo este juramento: “Te juro que la tierra que han pisado tus pies será heredad tuya y de tus descendientes para siempre, porque has sido fiel al Señor mi Dios”. 10 Ahora pues, mira cómo el Señor me ha conservado la vida, según lo prometió. Hace cuarenta y cinco años que el Señor dijo esto a Moisés, cuando Israel iba por el desierto, y ahora tengo ochenta y cinco años. 11 Todavía estoy tan fuerte como el día en que Moisés me encargó aquella misión. Conservo todo mi vigor de entonces para combatir y para moverme por doquier. 12 Así que dame esta montaña que el Señor me prometió aquel día. Tú oíste aquel día cómo hay en ella anaquitas y ciudades grandes y fuertes. Que el Señor esté conmigo y yo los expulsaré como él me lo prometió.
13 Josué bendijo a Caleb, hijo de Jefuné, y le dio Hebrón en heredad. 14 Por eso Hebrón sigue siendo, hasta el día de hoy, heredad de Caleb, hijo de Jefuné el queniceo, por haber sido fiel al Señor, Dios de Israel. 15 El nombre primitivo de Hebrón era Quiriat Arbá. Arbá había sido el hombre más alto de los anaquitas.
Y, concluida la conquista, el país quedó en paz.
