And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, two of those who had investigated the land, tore their garments.

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

Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses, saying,“ Let us go up and occupy it, for we are well able to conquer it.”

You will by no means enter into the land where I swore to settle you. The only exceptions are Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

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

The men of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,“ You know what the LORD said about you and me to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh Barnea.I was forty years old when Moses, the LORD’s servant, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land and I brought back to him an honest report.My countrymen who accompanied me frightened the people, but I remained loyal to the LORD my God.That day Moses made this solemn promise:‘ Surely the land on which you walked will belong to you and your descendants permanently, for you remained loyal to the LORD your God.’So now, look, the LORD has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the LORD spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old.Today I am still as strong as when Moses sent me out. I can fight and go about my daily activities with the same energy I had then.Now, assign me this hill country which the LORD promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. But, assuming the LORD is with me, I will conquer them, as the LORD promised.”Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron.So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day because he remained loyal to the LORD God of Israel.( Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. Arba was a famous Anakite.) Then the land was free of war.

Only my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit and has followed me fully– I will bring him into the land where he had gone, and his descendants will possess it.

For the LORD had said of them,“ They will surely die in the wilderness.” And there was not left a single man of them, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Now the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.An angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense, appeared to him.And Zechariah, visibly shaken when he saw the angel, was seized with fear.But the angel said to him,“ Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son; you will name him John.Joy and gladness will come to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.

Then Moses spoke to the LORD:“ Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all humankind, appoint a man over the community,who will go out before them, and who will come in before them, and who will lead them out, and who will bring them in, so that the community of the LORD may not be like sheep that have no shepherd.”The LORD replied to Moses,“ Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is such a spirit, and lay your hand on him;set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community, and commission him publicly.Then you must delegate some of your authority to him, so that the whole community of the Israelites will be obedient.And he will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the decision of the Urim. At his command they will go out, and at his command they will come in, he and all the Israelites with him, the whole community.”So Moses did as the LORD commanded him; he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community.He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, just as the LORD commanded, by the authority of Moses.

But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among the men who went to investigate the land, lived.

Caleb said,“ To the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher I will give my daughter Acsah as a wife.”When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it, Caleb gave him his daughter Acsah as a wife.One time Acsah came and charmed her father so she could ask him for some land. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her,“ What would you like?”She answered,“ Please give me a special present. Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.

Caleb son of Jephunneh was assigned Kiriath Arba( that is Hebron) within the tribe of Judah, according to the LORD’s instructions to Joshua.( Arba was the father of Anak.)Caleb drove out from there three Anakites– Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.From there he attacked the people of Debir.( Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher.)Caleb said,“ To the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher I will give my daughter Acsah as a wife.”When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, captured it, Caleb gave Acsah his daughter to him as a wife.One time Acsah came and charmed her father so that she could ask him for some land. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her,“ What would you like?”She answered,“ Please give me a special present. Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water. So he gave her both upper and lower springs.

Then Moses called out to Joshua in the presence of all Israel,“ Be strong and courageous, for you will accompany these people to the land that the LORD promised to give their ancestors, and you will enable them to inherit it.The LORD is indeed going before you– he will be with you; he will not fail you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged!”Then Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the Levitical priests, who carry the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and to all Israel’s elders.He commanded them:“ At the end of seven years, at the appointed time of the cancellation of debts, at the Feast of Temporary Shelters,when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God in the place he chooses, you must read this law before them within their hearing.Gather the people– men, women, and children, as well as the resident foreigners in your villages– so they may hear and thus learn about and fear the LORD your God and carefully obey all the words of this law.Then their children, who have not known this law, will also hear about and learn to fear the LORD your God for as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”Then the LORD said to Moses,“ The day of your death is near. Summon Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of meeting so that I can commission him.” So Moses and Joshua presented themselves in the tent of meeting.The LORD appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud that stood above the door of the tent.Then the LORD said to Moses,“ You are about to die, and then these people will begin to prostitute themselves with the foreign gods of the land into which they are going. They will reject me and break my covenant that I have made with them.At that time my anger will erupt against them and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome them so that they will say at that time,‘ Have not these disasters overcome us because our God is not among us?’
