³⁵ “Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,

³⁶ except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”

Then the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh-barnea about you and me.

¹³ Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.

¹⁴ Therefore Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite as an inheritance to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.

According to the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah—Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)

But they had given the fields and villages around the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.

⁴ and these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;

⁵ from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;

⁶ from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

⁷ from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;

Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
