Joshua 14:4 in Context — Joshua 14

2 Le partage eut lieu d’après le sort, comme l’Éternel l’avait ordonné par Moïse, pour les neuf tribus et pour la demi-tribu.

3 Car Moïse avait donné un héritage aux deux tribus et à la demi-tribu de l’autre côté du Jourdain; mais il n’avait point donné aux Lévites d’héritage parmi eux.

4 Les fils de Joseph formaient deux tribus, Manassé et Éphraïm; et l’on ne donna point de part aux Lévites dans le pays, si ce n’est des villes pour habitation, et les banlieues pour leurs troupeaux et pour leurs biens.

5 Les enfants d’Israël se conformèrent aux ordres que l’Éternel avait donnés à Moïse, et ils partagèrent le pays.

6 Les fils de Juda s’approchèrent de Josué, à Guilgal; et Caleb, fils de Jephunné, le Kenizien, lui dit: Tu sais ce que l’Éternel a déclaré à Moïse, homme de Dieu, au sujet de moi et au sujet de toi, à Kadès-Barnéa.
