Contemporary English Version

Caleb's Land

(Judges 1.12-15)

^13 (A) Joshua gave Caleb some land among the people of Judah, as God had told him to do. Caleb's share was Hebron, which at that time was known as Arba's Town,^[a] because Arba was the famous ancestor of the Anakim.^[b]

¹⁴ Caleb attacked Hebron and forced the three Anakim clans of^[c] Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai to leave. ¹⁵ Next, Caleb started a war with the town of Debir, which at that time was called Kiriath-Sepher.
