Joshua 14:13
“Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.”
Verse in context — Joshua 14
As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in.
Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh spoke.
Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because he wholly followed Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. The land had rest from war.
