Joshua 14:6-8

New International Reader's Version

Joshua Gives Hebron to Caleb

⁶ The people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, spoke to Joshua. He said, “You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God. He spoke to him at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. ⁷ Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to check out the land. I was 40 years old at that time. I brought back an honest report to him. I told him exactly what I had seen. ⁸ Several other men of Israel went up with me. What they reported terrified the people. But I followed the Lord my God with my whole heart.
