Yehoshua 14 - Summary
(Text) - The beginning of the chapter starts as an overall introduction to the division of land among the nine and ahalf tribes who will be inheriting land on the Western side of the Jordan (not including the two and a half tribes who inherited East of the Jordan River, or the tribe of Levi, but counting two tribes for Yossef - Menashe and Efrayim).
Before the actual division of the land can begin, Calev ben Yefuneh from the tribe of Yehudah approaches Yehoshua to discuss his situation. He recounts how when he had stood up against the spies forty years before, Moshe had sworn to him that he (Calev) would inherit the Land which he had seen. In fulfilment of this promise, Calev (who is now 85 years old) is given by Yehoshua the area around the city of Hevron (also known as Kiryat Arba).
