H9009–/ה–ha

I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.

הָאָ֑רֶץ (הָ) ha. “the”

My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

הָעָ֑ם (הָ) ha. “the”

And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

הַהוּא֮ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ (הָ) ha. “the”

And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.

הַדָּבָ֤ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּה֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַיּ֔וֹם (הַ) hai. “this”

And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

הַיּ֜וֹם (הַ) hai. “this”

So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.

So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.

הַקְּנִזִּי֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַיּ֣וֹם (הַ) hai. “the”הַזֶּ֑ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

In earlier times the name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.

הַגּוֹרָ֗ל (הַ) ha. “the”

Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:

הַמֶּ֑לַח (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַלָּשֹׁ֖ן (הַ) ha. “the”הַפֹּנֶ֥ה (הַ) ha. “which”

From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:

הַקַּרְקָֽעָה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.

הַגְּב֖וּל (הַ) ha. “the”

And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:

הַמֶּ֔לַח (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַיַּרְדֵּ֑ן (הַ) hai. “the”הַיָּ֔ם (הַ) hai. “the”הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ (הַ) hai. “the”

Then the line goes up to Beth-hoglah, past the north of Beth-arabah, and up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

הַגְּבוּל֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָעֲרָבָ֑ה (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַגְּב֔וּל (הַ) ha. “the”

Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:

הַגְּב֥וּל׀ (הַ) ha. “the”הַגִּלְגָּ֗ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַגְּבוּל֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on t

הַגְּב֜וּל (הַ) ha. “the”הַיְבוּסִי֙ (הַ) ha “the”הַגְּב֜וּל (הַ) ha. “the”הָהָ֗ר (הָ) ha. “the”

And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):

הַגְּב֜וּל (הַ) ha. “the”הָהָ֗ר (הָ) ha. “the”הַגְּבוּל֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:

הַגְּב֨וּל (הַ) ha. “the”

And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.

הַגְּב֜וּל (הַ) ha. “the”הַגְּבוּל֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַֽבַּעֲלָ֖ה (הַֽ) ha. “<the>”הַגְּב֖וּל (הַ) ha. “the”

And the limit on the west is the edge of the Great Sea. This is the line going round the land marked out for the children of Judah, by their families.

הַיָּ֥מָּה (הַ) hai. “[is] the”הַגָּד֖וֹל (הַ) ha. “<the>”

And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.

הָעֲנָ֖ק (הָ) ha. “<the>”

And the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak, were forced out from there by Caleb.

הָעֲנָ֑ק (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָעֲנָֽק׃ (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

הַחֲמ֑וֹר (הַ) ha. “the”

And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So he gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

הַנֶּ֙גֶב֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

The farthest towns of the tribe of Judah in the direction of the limits of Edom to the south, were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur;
