1 Følgende er de Landstrækninger, Israeliterne fik til Arvelod i Kana'ans Land, som Præsten Eleazar og Josua, Nuns Søn, og Overhovederne for de israelitiske Stammers Fædrenehuse tildelte dem
1 Now these are the territories which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned to them for an inheritance,
4 Josefs Efterkommere udgjorde nemlig to Stammer, Manasse og Efraim; og Leviterne fik ikke Del i Landet, men kun Byer at bo i tillige med de tilhørende Græsmarker til deres Hjorde og Kvæg.
4 For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.
6 Da trådte Judæerne frem for Josua i Gilgal, og Kenizziten Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, sagde til ham: "Du ved, hvad det var, HERREN talede til den Guds Mand Moses i Kadesj Barnea om mig og dig.
6 Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Fyrretyve År gammel var jeg, dengang HERRENs Tjener Moses udsendte mig fra Kadesj Barnea for at udspejde Landet; og jeg aflagde ham Beretning efter bedste Overbevisning.
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart.
9 Og Moses svor den Dag: Sandelig, det Land, din Fod har betrådt, skal være din og dine Efterkommeres Arvelod til evig Tid, fordi du har vist HERREN min Gud fuld Lydighed!
9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God fully.’
10 Og se, nu har HERREN opfyldt sit Ord og holdt mig i Live fem og fyrretyve År, siden dengang HERREN talede dette Ord til Moses, al den Tid Israel vandrede i Ørkenen, og se, jeg er nu fem og firsindstyve År.
10 Now behold, the Lord has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today.
11 Endnu den Dag i Dag er jeg rask og rørig som på hin Dag, da Moses udsendte mig; nu som da er min Kraft den samme til Kamp og til at færdes omkring.
11 I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.
12 Så giv mig da dette Bjergland, som HERREN dengang talede om; du hørte det jo selv. Thi der bor Anakiter der, og der er store, befæstede Byer; måske vil HERREN være med mig, så jeg kan drive dem bort, som HERREN har sagt!"
12 Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I will drive them out as the Lord has spoken.”
14 Derfor tilfaldt Hebron Kenizziten Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn,, som Arvelod, og den hører ham til den Dag i Dag, fordi han viste HERREN, Israels Gud, fuld Lydighed.
14 Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the Lord God of Israel fully.
