5. Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.
6. And so, the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb, the son of Jephone, the Kenizzite, spoke to him: "You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea, about me and you.
7. I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea, so that I might consider the land. And I reported to him what seemed to me to be true.
8. But my brothers, who had ascended with me, broke the heart of the people. And I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.
9. And Moses swore, on that day, saying: 'The land that your foot has tread upon shall be your possession, and that of your sons, unto eternity. For you have followed the Lord my God.'
