Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron.

(Now the city’s fields and surrounding towns they had assigned to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his property.)

(But the city’s land and nearby towns were allotted to Caleb son of Jephunneh.)

“You will be holy people to me; you must not eat any meat torn by animals in the field. You must throw it to the dogs.

Caleb received Hebron, just as Moses had promised. He drove out the three Anakites.

But whoever is among the living has hope; a live dog is better than a dead lion.

So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day because he remained loyal to the Lord God of Israel.
