1 and these which to inherit son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with land: country/planet Canaan which to inherit [obj] them Eleazar [the] priest and Joshua son: child Nun and head: leader father [the] tribe to/for son: descendant/people Israel

Eleazar the Supreme Priest, Joshua, and the leaders of the [twelve] tribes repeated what land would be allotted to each of the Israeli tribes in Canaan.

2 in/on/with allotted inheritance their like/as as which to command LORD in/on/with hand Moses to/for nine [the] tribe and half [the] tribe

Yahweh had told Moses many years previously in what way he wanted the division of the land to be decided. Moses had already declared that two and a half tribes would be allotted land on the east side of the Jordan [River]. Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. [Half of the tribe descended from Manasseh was allotted land on the east side of the Jordan, along with the tribes of Reuben and Gad]. The people belonging to the nine and a half other tribes [on the west side of the Jordan River] threw (lots/stones that had been marked) to decide which land each tribe would receive. The tribe of Levi was not allotted any land. They received only towns [that already existed], towns in which to live, and (pastures/fields of grass) for their animals.

One day some men from the tribe of Judah went to Joshua while he and all the Israelis were at Gilgal. Among those men was Jephunneh’s son Caleb. He said to Joshua, “[I am sure that] you remember what Yahweh said to the prophet Moses about you and me when we were at Kadesh-Barnea.

7 son: aged forty year I in/on/with to send: depart Moses servant/slave LORD [obj] me from Kadesh-barnea Kadesh-barnea to/for to spy [obj] [the] land: country/planet and to return: return [obj] him word like/as as which with heart my

I was 40 years old at that time. Moses sent me [and you and some other men] to explore this land. When we returned, I gave to Moses a true report [IDM] about what we had seen.

8 and brother: compatriot my which to ascend: rise with me to liquefy [obj] heart [the] people and I to fill after LORD God my

The other men who went with us [gave a report that] caused the people to be afraid [IDM]. But I fully/completely believed [that] Yahweh [would enable us to take the land from the people who lived there].

9 and to swear Moses in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to/for to say if: surely yes not [the] land: country/planet which to tread foot your in/on/with her to/for you to be to/for inheritance and to/for son: child your till forever: enduring for to fill after LORD God my

So on that day, Moses solemnly promised me, ‘[Some of] the land on which you walked will become yours. It will belong to your descendants forever. I am giving it to you because you fully trusted in Yahweh, my God.’

10 and now behold to live LORD [obj] me like/as as which to speak: speak this forty and five year from the past to speak: speak LORD [obj] [the] word [the] this to(wards) Moses which to go: walk Israel in/on/with wilderness and now behold I [the] day: today son: aged five and eighty year

“Now Yahweh has done for me what he promised. Forty-five years have passed since Moses said that to me during the time that we were wandering around in the desert. And just like Yahweh promised, he has kept me alive and well all during that time. Now I am eighty-five years old.

11 still I [the] day strong like/as as which in/on/with day to send: depart [obj] me Moses like/as strength my then and like/as strength my now to/for battle and to/for to come out: come and to/for to come (in): come

I am as strong today as I was on the day that Moses sent me [to explore this land]. I am as ready to fight now as I was then.

12 and now to give: give [emph?] to/for me [obj] [the] mountain: hill country [the] this which to speak: speak LORD in/on/with day [the] he/she/it for you(m. s.) to hear: hear in/on/with day [the] he/she/it for Anakite there and city great: large to gather/restrain/fortify perhaps LORD with me and to possess: take them like/as as which to speak: speak LORD

So please give me the hilly area that Yahweh promised to give to me at that time long ago. At that time, you heard [me say] that the Amalek people-group lived there. You heard me say that their cities were large, and they had walls around them [to protect them from attacks by their enemies]. But now, Yahweh will help me, and as a result I will force them to leave, just like Yahweh said would happen.”

13 and to bless him Joshua and to give: give [obj] Hebron to/for Caleb son: child Jephunneh to/for inheritance

So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.

14 upon so to be Hebron to/for Caleb son: child Jephunneh [the] Kenizzite to/for inheritance till [the] day: today [the] this because which to fill after LORD God Israel

Previously that city was called Kiriath-Arba, because Arba was the greatest man among the Amalek people-group. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb, because Caleb completely/fully trusted in Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], and obeyed him. After that happened, there was (peace/no battles) in [Canaan] land [for many years].

15 and name Hebron to/for face: before Kiriath-arba Arba [the] man [the] great: large in/on/with Anakite he/she/it and [the] land: country/planet to quiet from battle
