Joshua 14:6-14
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 Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.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 Yahweh my God.’“ Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty- five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty- five years old, today.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 said.”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 followed Yahweh, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.

Joshua 15:13-20
He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak( also called Hebron).Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.Caleb said,“ He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.”Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey, and Caleb said,“ What do you want?”She said,“ Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying,“ The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which flows with milk and honey.Only don’t rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don’t fear them.”But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. Yahweh’s glory appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.
