30. surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except CALEB the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

31. But your little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

32. But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

33. Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.

34. After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.'

35. I, The LORD, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."

36. The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,

37. even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before The LORD.

38. But Joshua the son of Nun, and CALEB the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

63. These are those who were counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who counted the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

64. But among these there was not a man of them who were counted by Moses and Aaron the priest, who counted the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

65. For the LORD had said of them, "They shall surely die in the wilderness." There was not a man left of them, except CALEB the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

11. 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,

12. except CALEB the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'

13. The LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in The LORD's sight, was consumed.

34. The LORD heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

35. "Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,

36. except CALEB the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him, and to his children, because he has wholly followed The LORD."

6. Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal. CALEB the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know the thing that the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.

7. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

8. Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

9. Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'

10. "Now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.

11. 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.

12. Now therefore give me this hill country, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD said."

13. Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to CALEB the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

14. Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of CALEB the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed The LORD, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.

15. Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.
