Bible Verses About Caleb

Now, look: ADONAI has kept me alive these forty-five years, as he said he would, from the time ADONAI said this to Moshe, when Isra'el was going through the desert. Today I am eighty-five years old,

but I am as strong today as on the day Moshe sent me - I'm as strong now as I was then, whether for war or simply for going here and there.

Therefore, give me this hill, the one ADONAI spoke about on that day; for on that day you heard how the 'Anakim were there with great, fortified cities; perhaps ADONAI will be with me, and I will drive them away, as ADONAI said."

Y'hoshua blessed him and gave Hevron to Kalev the son of Y'funeh as his inheritance.

To Kalev the son of Y'funeh he gave a portion with the descendants of Y'hudah, as ADONAI had ordered Y'hoshua, namely, Kiryat-Arba (Arba was the father of the 'Anak), also called Hevron.

From there he went up to fight the inhabitants of D'vir (D'vir was formerly called Kiryat-Sefer).

From there they attacked the inhabitants of D'vir (D'vir was formerly called Kiryat-Sefer).

Kalev said: "To whoever overpowers Kiryat-Sefer and captures it I will give my daughter 'Akhsah as his wife."
