Joshua 14:1-5
1599 Geneva Bible
14 1 The land of Canaan was divided among the nine tribes and the half. 6 Caleb requireth the heritage that was promised him. 13 Hebron was given him.
1 These also are the places which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, (A)which Eleazar the Priest, and Joshua the son of Nun and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,
2 (B)By the lot of their inheritance, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, to give to the nine tribes, and the half tribe.
3 For Moses had given inheritance unto [a]two tribes and an half tribe, beyond Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
4 For the children of Joseph were [b]two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs of the same for their beasts and their substance.
5 (C)As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did when they divided the land.
